Still dont know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild
A million dead-end streets and
Every time I thought Id got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But Ive never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
Im much too fast to take that [...]

Obey, obey, you must obey
Who wants to play this game?
Obey, Rotten Sound
Ah this two posts a month thing has to stop… It’s just that there hasn’t been much to blog about. Sure, some triflings, minor events such as a little vote we had here or a similar but obviously less exciting and important one to [...]

OMG it’s been along time since I last wrote here! Someone asked me the other day why I haven’t posted in so long, and my response was “dunno…just haven’t felt the muse, I guess”. Weak-sauce! So…time to post. Although…I can’t say as I have a whole lot to say. Not much is sticking in my [...]

Poker, of course, is a game of patience and psychology. Over the years my biggest weaknesses at the table have been twofold: playing too impatiently and when i’m up, thinking i’m untouchable. The first one was easy to fix…just be patient. I credit Ruth with bringing patience into my game. She [...]

We get serviced charged up the ying yang these days. It’s a fact of life; if you don’t like it, carry cash. In my recent attempt to become more fiscally responsible, I’ve stopped using my debit card for everything and try to pay cash when I need to pay for something. I get that cash [...]

Round one of the most difficult trophy hunt in all of sports begins this week, and so I’m gonna put it out on the line and give my picks for the various round 1 match ups. I won’t be responsible for any lost money from wagers made based on my completely unscientific and unsupported picks. [...]

So Duane made a pretty cool post on trackbacks and used me as an example. I’m thinking he used me cuz he knew i’d track him back to help demonstrate his words in action. So I’m tracking him back. Now those of you who came here from his post (both of you) [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve written a poker post. So it’s time. This weekend my gmail account showed a comment on a poker blog I haven’t written in for like 2 years. Of course my first thought was spam, but i still went to check it out. Turns out it was neo-spam…some guy just [...]

So I’ve played Texas Hold Em poker for about 17 years now. In that time I’ve hit pairs, sets, boats, quads, straight flushes…every hand but one. The Royal Flush is akin to the hole in one in golf, except you have better odds of hitting a hole in one. See in golf, a hole in [...]

So after several years of playing poker and recently playing a lot more hands online, I’ve decided to write down what I see as the most commonly overplayed hands in small buy in games. Perhaps bigger games have a different set of consistently poorly played hands.
#8: AA and KK. People try and trap with AA [...]

So on Friday I took a trip out to the river rock in Richmond for some no limit live play. I sat down at the baby table (1-2 no limit) with 140 bux in chips and felt pretty confident. I gotta say, I had the worst cold deck experience I’ve ever had! I wasn’t just [...]

When I first began playing online poker it started at holdempoker.com for play money. As a long time purist I found the idea of online poker a little bit…um…weak. I also didn’t have a whole lot of dough at the time, but that’s a whole other story. Anyways, I decided to get back into the [...]

BadBeat #1: Late position, I have AK suited, 6 outta nine players left. I raise preflop 8 times the blinds. Under the [...]
