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 [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
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.

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?
Interviewed on MomPopPow.com by Mom
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.
Stevie trips and falls.
The other day I talked about online players and their avatars and names that they use. I wondered if the players thought that either their avatars or their screen names gave them some extra power or strength. Knowing that many players are superstitious I thought it might be interesting to speculate about in the post. One [...]
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 [...]
What is in a name
I play a lot of Rush Poker on Full Tilt Poker, an affiliate link, because I play using my Android SmartPhone. One of the things that I noticed while playing are my opponents names and the avatars that they have chosen. Some of the names are the person’s first name and an initial and/or number to create a [...]
Grinder
Grinder – Poker Glossary A grinder is the same as a rounder. These tend to be semi-professional players that make most of their money playing poker, though they do not make much … The above definition was supplied from the Poker Tips Website. Grinding is what I am trying to do although at the limits [...]
