Testing results at the SnGs
Image by Jeff Croft via Flickr I have either been playing poorly of late or running poorly, not catching the cards or playing the players correctly, so I thought I would slow down a little and try a little experiment. My idea was to play single table Sit and Go’s until I won and then [...]
Three tourneys played – no tourney won.
Image via Wikipedia The first tourney I played yesterday was the Twitter Poker Tour’s European event played at 7pm BST (2 pm EST) hosted by the Twitter Poker Tour and was played on PokerStars. While I was hoping for a fourth 1st place finish in a row, that did not happen. I played well enough [...]
The dangers of Omaha Hi/Lo
Image via Wikipedia I really enjoy playing Omaha Hi/Lo but have not been doing so of late until yesterday. I played in a low limit game of .10/.20 blinds and had been playing for over an hour. My starting stack had been reduced by about 40%. I had won a few small pots and lost [...]
Pocket nines may be the new “pocket Jacks”.
Image by Jam Adams via Flickr In the poker community, there is a saying about how to play a pair of pocket “Jacks”. The saying is: “there are three ways to play pocket them … and they are all wrong. In fact in any hand you have three choices. You can call the previous bet, [...]
Thoughts on Limit Poker play
Image via Wikipedia So far, of all the different games of poker that I play regularly, the form that I had the best results with is Limit poker. I think the reason I prefer Limit is the fact that I have a reasonable understanding of how to play successfully. There is still a lot about [...]
Bankroll management
Image via Wikipedia I started recording my profitability using a new Excel spreadsheet on May 29th and saw all my results plummet last week. It did not matter if I was playing a cash ring game, a “sit and go” game, or a tourney, I was starting to get very bad results. Because of that, [...]
My third #TPTE win in a row
This is the third time in a row that I have won the Twitter Poker Tour’s European event played at 7pm BST (2 pm EST). As this is the first season that the Twitter Poker Tour has had this event to enable the Europeans a chance to play on either FullTiltPoker or PokerStars. I really [...]
A day off hopefully will correct the off days
A day without playing poker means a day without any losses or wins. Even just 24 hours can help to change a mind set. As far as results, we shall see this afternoon when I play in the Twitter Poker Tour’s European event being played on FullTiltPoker at 7pm BST (2 pm EST). I had [...]
Time for a break – do some gardening, housework, reading (poker books)
Image by themaroon via Flickr As I mentioned in my last post, I have been running bad in both SnG’s, MTT’s, and cash games. I think that my decision making process is being affected and that I am not giving myself a chance to win. To that end, I have designed today as a non-poker-playing [...]
Stuck on the poker games – both cash and tourneys
Image by Funchye via Flickr For the last few days, I have been running bad, both in cash games and in tourneys. It seems that when I had good cards, like AA, no one wanted to get involved and I’d win a small pot. But if I held 55′s or 99′s, watch everyone try to [...]
