Online Poker Tell

One of the things that I haven’t been paying a lot of attention to is online poker tells.  Most of the time I play my cards, and watch the betting patterns.
However one tell that I have noticed is the use of the auto-buttons.  Now this is not a tell for all, but it has been […]

Discipline Problems

I have decided to go down one level to try to get a handle of my discipline problems.  I really think that the lower levels will help teach me how to fold.  It is at these levels that everyone goes for those gut-shot draws, or will call that one more $.05 just because, and this […]

Graph for Dec2007

Well I guess since I am already into the middle of January, I should post a quick shot about my stats for December 2007. In the following graph you will see that I didn’t do too hot, but at least I was only down 1.9BB over 856 hands.

The hand count is something that I […]

Not the keenest at this blog thing and losing my bankroll

Yeah I know, I haven’t been updating the site very much. But I have been playing.
One of the things that I am noticing is that I am still on the downward bankroll march. I know why, I think, but I have to work on getting into the right frame of mind BEFORE I […]

Poker Session #4

This was a bad day.  I wasn’t feeling quite right in the head, so I figure I shouldn’t have been playing in the first place.  Although there was a couple of hands in my first table that really hurt.  As you can see, in any one “session” I play at one or 2 tables.  In […]

Poker is amazing Social Lube

Poker is also a social lubricant that brings together people from all walks of life. College kids. WWII vets. Staunch Republicans. Pinko liberals. Men. Women. Other. Red Sox fans. Yankees fans. Sanitation workers. Politicians. Chefs. Stockbrokers. Immigrants. Jocks. Norwegian teenagers. Former Star Trek actors. Military doctors. Lesbian nurses. Hippies. Grandmas. Taxi drivers. Even bacon loving […]

New Theme

I decided to install a new theme.  But want to keep it simple so I went for this one.  VERY clean and I think that it is easy to read.  So much so that I am thinking that I may use in on one of my other sites.
Anyway, let me know what you think about […]

Session #3

For my previous sessions you are going to have to look here and here.
However we are not on Session #3, which is about another 100 hands combined at 2 tables.  One table I did good the other I lost slighty, but was doing really well except for one shitty hand where a maniac drew a […]

PokerStars Update

I was playing PS last night and when I sat down to start it up there was a new version of the client ready for DL. I didn’t notice anything different in this version, not that I usually do, but then I saw it, after you muck you hand you can mouse over your […]
