On track – and plan to stay that way!
Image by Zach Bonnell via Flickr My poker playing results have been more consistent the last two months but I won’t get too excited until I have finished the year. Even then, it might take two or more years before I can tell if I am in the “most improved player” category. I can attribute [...]
Inspired by others to resume writing my poker blog posts
Cover via Amazon I was recently inspired to resume writing my poker blog. This was the result of reading the postings of both Chris Brogan and Julien Smith, Co-Authors of the New York Times Best Seller, “Trust Agents”. I was also inspired recently by reading the blogs of Scotty Nguyen and the PokerLawyer. You can [...]
A quiet night – sort of …
Image via Wikipedia With my day job somewhat under control, which comprised of some Social Media work and advanced child care (my granddaughter thinks she is smarter than I am, and she might be) out of the way for the evening, thoughts of poker came to mind. So I decided to play in the Twitter [...]
Deciding when and how to play and why.
Image via Wikipedia Based on my bankroll, I consider myself to be a recreational player. As I mentioned in my last post, I have about $3,000 tied up in online and cash play. This allows me to play the .25/.50 games on line. At those games I usually buy into at the maximum amount allowed, [...]
Thoughts on my poker bankroll management
I have been asking a few different people including some poker pros, questions about my bankroll and how I should manage it. I have $3,000 to use for my poker bankroll. The problem is that I have about $1,500 spread out over six sites so that my effective bankroll on each site is around $250. I have [...]
August Results, and what’s happening, sort of…
Image by MikeSchinkel via Flickr Thanks to using most of the tips that I learned from the WPT Boot Camp that I attended, I finished August in the black. September was starting to look like a different story. I started out playing on various sites, trying to find which online sites contained softer tables for [...]
Following Poker Pros on Twitter, Facebook and blogs
Image via Wikipedia Using Social Media Tools, I probably follow over 150 Poker Pros around the world. I use Twitter, Google Reader, and Facebook to follow Pros that I find interesting. Interesting, a majority of the Pros have large followings of Wannabes, such as myself, but they do not necessarily follow many people themselves. In the [...]
How often to post?
Image via Wikipedia I have decided to start posting again. It may take some time for me to get back up to speed and to have something that might peak your interest. Or is that peek? I know that I should post more – because that is a sure way that I can get more [...]
Post WSOP and WPT Boot Camp
Image by ElizaPeyton via Flickr Some time has passed since the end of the 2010 WSOP Main Event. It has also been over 3 weeks since I returned from the WPT Boot Camp for cash games. Has the training changed my game? Yes it has. Has it changed my results? Not noticeably. I might be losing [...]
Take backs from boot camp
Image by chrischappelear via Flickr I mentioned in my previous post, I had some cash game training at a WPT Boot camp for No Limit Hold’em type of games. As far as my progress goes, I was in the black for August, while my year-to-date is still in the red. It appears that I am [...]
