So it may seem like I'm pimping my new employer's site, but it's really not what I mean. Right now there are Howard Lederer Fantasy Camp tournaments running on FTP regularly. Currently they are overlaying over 2:1 on what it would cost you to go. I'm not saying it's as posh as an entry to the WPT or anything, but I can't imagine the camp would hurt anybody's game. BTW if you want to really make

Wisconsin is known for having more bars than every other state. I don't have any actual data to back this up, and obviously it's per capita, but if you have ever driven through rural Wisconsin I think you would have to agree. It's difficult to go 10 miles in the middle of no where and not see a bar, usually with a few cars or trucks in the summer, and a few snowmobiles in the winter.They serve as

Has anyone else seen the BoDog commercial where the guy on the motorcycle has pocket three's tattooed on his arm? He then follows up with some line about "Yeah a few months ago I didn't know what it meant either."

It's funny how different people have different 'specialties' in poker. Personally, I very rarely play no limit ring games. I fancy myself as a limit poker player, and when I play limit I do well. Other people will watch me play and what seems mechanical to me now, at times seems crazy to them. But that's limit poker and that's not what I'm talking about.Very rarely do I play limit Sit & Gos.

Twice today I have had the best NL hands I can imagine. Both times I had a pocket pair and flopped quads from late position. Both times there was a card higher than my quads and it paired on the turn! The first time I flopped four tens and an ace paired on the turn. I was last to act, it was a min bet to me and I smooth called. It checked to me on the river and I bet 5x min bet. Everyone folded.

After a bad run at limit, which usually I do well at, I decieded to try playing NL seriously. SnGs have always been pretty easy for me unless I get no cards and basically get blinded away. Using that logic, I think I have always pushed too hard at NL cash before. I jumped in and pretended it was like playing a SnG and stayed fairly tight. I ran my first $25 buyin to just over $80, at which point

I can't really get ahead, but I'm staying about even. It seems any low PP I play I flop a set and have rivered quads twice in about 120 hands. Very odd. That's once at Party and once at Ultimate, and the sets just keep coming. The rest of my hands I can't hit worth a damn, or I get outrun by the schools of marathon running fish.

Grub posted a story a couple days ago at his site about when he played at Binions. What's funny is I heard the same story a year ago when I was there right after the 2004 WSOP. The way that I heard it was as follows: It was a $5/$10 table I believe and this tourist had been losing all night. After the river was laid, he won the pot with a one card royal. A regular at the table told the tourist

Thank God I had the presense of mind to not play for real cash. After getting a bit popped and feeling the urge to play, I logged on to UB. Going to the play money tables (I've made the other mistake before) I decieded to play some Omaha. Quaddruppling through on my third hand I felt I might not be as intoxicated as I thought I was. I few more hands in I was all in with two pair and the nut low.

I got bit by the online bug a couple of years ago. We had a weekly game in the basement of a bar starting in about 2001/2002. Playing all kinds of games from Cincinnati, to Omaha 8, to 7/27, etc. etc. That went on for a while, then I started playing at some local 'underground' places. The first time was a rush. Another guy in town has played on and off for years (Mr. Boo from previous posts). A

I've been thinking about this hand for a while, and it still amazes me. I wasn't involved in the pot, but it was about 5 on the flop of JT9 rainbow. It went check (1) | bet (2) | raise (3) | fold (4) | call (5) | fold (1) | rereaise (2) | call (3) | call (5) Turn 8 bet (2) | raise (3) | reraise (5) | cap (2) | call (3) | call (5) I'm thinking (2) has KQ at this point and (3)/(5) have Qx

Finished reverse engineering the FTP player note file. Everything has been posted over at FullTiltFan. Been one of those days at the tables, the fish were so thick at one table that I couldn't push through them to get a breathe of air, oh well, I like my odds in the long run. Losing a set to a set is an absolute brutal beat, hard to blame either side for their play (I just wish I flopped kings

In my opinion one of the finest points of NL, both tournament and cash is to make the right size bets to require a call when you have the best hand. It seems to me that it is more important to underbet what would be the maximum amount they would call. While it is also important to bet more than the minumim if they will call more, the closer you get to the maximum call amount the more risk that is

I've been working on reverse engineering the Full Tilt player note file. If you are interested in know any more about it, you can look at my posts over at Full Tilt Fan. To anyone that is interested Full Tilt is also running a 100% deposit bonus. It's pretty easy to get it released, so I highly recommend it.

One of my life's dreams, if I had far too much money, would be to start a chain of stores like Wal-Mart but with one major difference. The entire store would be smoking and there would be bars spread within. We would cater to a select group, but it would be the best shopping experience we would have. Can't deciede between Fruit Loops and Special K? Have a Guiness or a shot of Jack to help your

Been playing for quite a while today. Took down the biggest pot I ever have on $2/$4, totallying $77 after the rake. Didn't do so hot in NL with a few other bloggers at the table, but that is life. My NL ring game needs work. Yesterday sucked at the brewery, I went in to bottle up some beer and everything went wrong. We switched from classic longneck bottles with crimp tops to shorter bottles,

I won playing NL at the bar. Nothing like a deck of cards and two drunk guys. Looking at my BB I had Q8 and the flop came JT9 rainbow. The drunk guy to my left had been in for anything. I checked, he bet $2, next guy folds. I say I'm alll in. The guy to my right looks at me for a minute, I reply "Nevermind, I don't want to bet that much, I'll just bet what you have on the table." He replys "Oh no

Well it's not a bonus to everyone, but it is for me. Having not played on PS for 4 or 5 months, I decieded to go check it out after hearing that the $2/$4 game there is pretty easy. I was thinking that there was $5 to $10 in my account, but after I logged in I found that I had $130.26. Not bad at all. Taking my 'bonus' money it was time to play a tournament. In the first 4 hands I took out 2

Boy Genius has a great story on his site, made me laugh and cringe multiple times. My night has just started but I will post more later tonight, as you may have noticed, most of my posts are late at night.

Mr. Boo is a friend of mine, at least I think he is a friend. Mr. Boo has played a lot of poker in his day, he still talks to this day of pushing $3000 more at a $2000 pot in a no limit game 25 years ago or since. Once in a while poker will be on the television and he will talk about playing with this guy or that. One time when Doyle was on he said "You know that guy is one of the nicest guys I

When playing poker late at night it is necessity to watch Adult Swim at the same time. It's just absurd enough to be distracting so that you don't play too many hands, and just bad enough that you still pay attention to the table. Aqua Teen Hunger Force is very useful to power poker playing. Played online for quite a while today. I made my way back to UB last night, Daddy highly recommends them,

A friend and I, Daddy from SnailTrax, brought in the new year in style. I attended a wedding in southern Indiana on New Years Eve, and the next day I woke up and drove 20 minutes north to a bar in a small town. Daddy had played in a tournament there last year on New Year's Day and told me to meet him there this year to play. It was a $100 buyin NLHE tourney, one rebuy, with 36 people playing if I

Does anyone else play in these? I'm convinced that they are a good return on your money, but take some time. In large field MTT I have trouble getting enough chips to maintain through bubble play, so the STEP tournaments offer $1000+ places for $12 entry. I also like how they are set up, you aren't just out for the middle steps, if you play solid cards I think they are long term profitable. This

It's a long story as to how I got this way that will have to wait for a different post. Currently I play a lot of cards and I'm always trying to improve my game, some posts may be poker related.
