Playing some No Limit cash sessions at Full Tilt Poker
Image via Wikipedia For the last two months or so I had been playing mostly on DoylesRoom.com. I was playing at the cash games and the satellite tourneys for an entry to an upcoming WPT event. This week I decided to mix things up a bit. While I continued to play the Step tourneys, I [...]
Chipping away at Bodog …
Image by BodogCom via Flickr I decided to take a break from playing the cash game at DoylesRoom.com and play at another site, Bodog. My account there allows me to play the .05/.10 No Limit tables without jeopardizing my bankroll. Based on my success at Doyles, I decided to try my skills out at Bodog. [...]
Jacks set me back – oops….
Image by _mandrew_ via Flickr I like to think that I have a lot of patience and discipline at the tables. In playing No Limit Cash games, I usually wait for good hands. I even fold A 10, KQ, KJ when I am first to bet, UTG, under the gun or UTG+1. In middle position [...]
What you might encounter at DoylesRoom.com
Image via Wikipedia For the past two months I have been spending most of my online poker playing time at DoylesRoom.com. Doyles Room was one of the first sites that I started playing at over four years ago. I used to know some of the people I played against quite well back then. I am [...]

A reminder about putting a “Bad beat on Cancer”!
Image by larrykang via Flickr Even though I have already posted about this topic, I think it is important enough to repeat. I have lost relatives, friends and co-workers to cancer and I am sure you know someone who has as well. Anything we can do to bring awareness to this cause will help. The [...]
The effects of getting tired hit me again while playing poker.
Image by deadoll via Flickr Since October 18 I have played in 12 Step Sit N Go’s and my progress is as follows: 5,4,5,5,6,4,4,4,3,4,5,5,5 and I am currently back to having an entry ticket for Step 4 again. Yesterday was a busy day for us. Besides doing some work for Brogan-Arts.com, we volunteered to do [...]
Jack’s back!
Image by HAURY! via Flickr In my previous post I talked about what I learned on how to play with Jacks. But I may not have taken my own advice as I ran into Jacks in two of the poker sessions that I played yesterday. In the morning session, I was dealt a pair of [...]
Fishhooks, Hooks, Jokers, Johnnies… Whatever you call them they can be bad news!
Image by rubyblossom. via Flickr No matter what you call them, they can spell trouble in either a cash game or a tourney. I have been told that there are three ways to play pocket Jacks: call with them, raise with them, or fold them. I have also been told that all three choices are [...]
“Hello Dolly” and good bye chips!
Image by Malkav via Flickr The last couple of Twitter Poker Tour tournaments I have been in I have run across a hand that has been disastrous to get and play. Back quite a few years ago, the hand, Ace Queen, or AQ was known as a “Doy;e Brunson” because he happened to get that [...]
