Day 1 as a poker dealer is in the books
First day as a Professional poker dealer is complete. I worked for a total of six hours at “The Poker Room NH” on Tuesday, January 3. Right after I checked in, I was assigned to deal at a Limit Holdem 2/4 table (2/4 means that the bets start at $2 for the first and second [...]
Starting a different path – 2012
Last year I had my worst losing year on record in online poker. My live game is a lot more profitable. I am going to stick with live brick and mortar poker until there are more weaker players online. In fact, I will try to wait until online poker is legal in the US. By [...]
No Dessert for me
Yesterday I planned to enter the 7 pm Railbirds.com ranking event on LuvinPoker.com. To that end, I took a nap just before the tourney to assure that I would be at my best. Of course, I had failed to let Diane know of my plans so when I woke up 30 minutes prior to the [...]
Making poker decisions – revisited
In many of my previous posts, I discuss how important it is to try making the best decisions possible in playing each hand of poker. What I may not have mentioned is that you also need to be able to emotionally detach yourself from the hands being played and playing optimally. Sadly emotions still gets in the [...]
Winning a Railbirds ranking tourney on LuvinPoker.com
Before Black Friday, which was when the DOJ shut off access to PokerStars.com, FullTiltPoker.com and UB.com, I used to play micro stakes cash games like No Limit Holdem or Pot Limit Ohama, etc. Some of the time that I played in events sponsored by the Twitter Poker Tour (no longer active, sadly) or by RailBirds.com. The good [...]
Grinding
I am going to see if I can grind a little income playing Limit Poker at The Poker Room NH located in Hampton Falls NH just across the Seabrook NH town line on US Route 1. I might accomplish this if I stick to a schedule of playing set hours. Perhaps from 3 pm Monday [...]
Father’s Day Poker
Diane and I have been going to The Poker Room in NH. Check out their FaceBook page by clicking this link. Diane’s account of our Father’s Day outing is slightly different than mine. See it at MomPopPow.com later today. Our results in the prior visits were not too good. We lost half or more of [...]
The check is in the mail?
I am still waiting for three sites to release my monies deposited with them. TruePoker, FullTiltPoker and UB. Supposedly TruePoker is processing my cashout check as I now have a zero balance there. But since their bank accounts have been seized by the DOJ (Department of Justice), I am not holding my breath until it [...]
Post #blackfriday actions
I am currently trying to cash out of all but two sites and so far only PokerStars has settled with me. I am waiting for Bodog, DoylesRoom and TruePoker to “show me the money!”. I cannot request funds from Poker Host and Carbon Poker because I am below the minimums that they allow for withdrawals. [...]
Winning
$63,015 is my current play chip balance at FTP. I am still awaiting their transfer back to me of my real cash balance with them since “BlackFriday“. But that is another story. I am still allowed to play poker at FTP, but by using play chips that are free. I am also allowed to use [...]
