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 Some of the time that I played in events sponsored by the Twitter Poker Tour (no longer active, sadly) or by RailBirds.com.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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
Online Poker is just about gone for US based players
No surprise if you are an online poker player, but our options of playing online have effectively been taken away from us. The UIGEA law enacted in 2006 made it illegal for banks and financial institutions to transfer funds to and from online Poker sites. On April 15, 2011, the DOJ used that law and stopped all [...]
Two’s and Ten’s
I don’t often talk about bad beats but sometime you just can’t help yourself. While traveling from Fremont to Amesbury, I discussed the hand with Diane. She videotaped the following: What was your worst experience?

Taking a slight break from my usual ramblings. I was interviewed by my best friend, Diane. She and I blog together on MomPopPow.com. She interviews me about my passion for poker.
