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 Some of the time that I played in events sponsored by the Twitter Poker Tour (no longer active, sadly) or by RailBirds.com.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

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 [...]
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 [...]
Goals yet to be reached
It is a good thing that I am not dependent on my earnings from poker as I seem to be stuck. My bankroll needle stands at $171.00 or about 34 buy-ins of A$5.00 each. Last night I played in my second Guarantee tourney on Full Tilt Poker, an affiliate site. The last one I attempted [...]

I don’t play the big tourneys but …
Image via Wikipedia That does not mean I am not interested in the biggest live poker tourney, the WSOP main event for 2010. In particular, the final table, which has a great line up of players. What makes this year’s group of nine more interesting to me is the fact that 7 of the 9 [...]
