Two steps back to get one step forward
Image via Wikipedia
I am in the process of grinding out a series of Step single table tournaments at DoylesRoom.com in an attempt to win an entry to a WPT event being held in December in Las Vegas.
Because each step offers five prizes, two that move you up one step, two that keep you at the [...]

Noob is an alternate spelling of “newbie,” and I am still a “Noob”

Long story short. I busted out of Step 6 last night in eighth place with pocket Aces. I bused out because I am still a “newbie” on No Limit Poker.
The scenario: I had won three large pots during the evening to move me into first place. Both were with pocket [...]
The chance factor – not everyone wins all the time

I have been playing a lot of single table tourney events of late as part of a series of steps in a attempt to win a seat at a WPT event.
These steps are fairly liberal in that you have at least five chances to win out of nine players. So even a good [...]
It is time to start being more disciplined or at least learn how to be.

Thursday night, I had tentatively made plans to myself to play in the Step 6 WPT tourney at DoylesRoom.com if a table opened up. Prior to playing we went over to my younger son’s home to wish his wife a happy birthday and to say hello to our youngest granddaughter. We had good [...]
A Diamond ended up costing me a third of my buy-in!

I was playing No Limit Hold ‘Em at Full Rush Poker. I bought into a low level table where the blinds were .05/.10 and my buy-in was $5.00. The table play was a little wild. There was one high stacked player with over $20.00 so he must have been hitting good [...]
Refreshing to play at a civil table. Makes poker more fun to play.

While playing at my never ending Steps tourneys at DoylesRoom.com, something unusual happened. While for the most part, there was no chatting going on, when there was, it was civil in nature.
In one hand that I played, I had AQ suited on the button. I was short stacked with less [...]
In spite of my best laid plans, I busted out of Step 5 in last place – Duh!

In my last post, I described that I was playing in a Steps series on DoylesRoom.Com in the hopes of securing a seat at a WPT event being played this December.
I said how I would only play great starting hands in position and would be careful not to get busted out. My goal [...]
