1 4-tabling and bored...
Waddup interwebs... This is basically the first time I've written a blog since I was a teenager... and at the time, I was most likely was full of angst and took myself a bit too seriously so they were likely super frustrating to read or maybe even bit comical (for the wrong reasons)....... I've always wanted to start a blog, but since i'm a chronic and basically lack motivation or ...

2 How Positivity Can Elevate Your MTT Game (Part 1)
Tournament poker is demoralizing. Countless times we play great poker for hours, even days, only to have it blow up in our face over the course of a few hands. It gets to a point where we wonder if there is some type of hex over our cards, or maybe the site we’re playing on is “rigged”. The consistent misfortunes deep in tournaments often weighs heavily on our attitude and makes us expect bad ...

15 2012 Aussie Millions Main Event!
Been a while since I blogged on here, a lot has happened since my last entry. Most of it is either bad or really annoying, including everything that happened with Full Tilt, Absolute, and other small things inbetween. I managed to have a really amazing 2011 even after Black Friday. I cashed for over $150k on US facing sites post BF, even though P5s is missing a bunch of my scores on Lock. ...

10 WBCOOP: Linsanity Poker & $5000
What do "Linsanity", poker and $5000 have to do with each other' That's a good question, but before I answer that let's give a brief recap for those who have been living under a rock recently and missed out on "Super Lintendo". 588492 Jeremy Lin the unheralded Asian-American point guard sensation for the New York Knicks has become the feel good story, not only of the NBA but of the whole ...

2 Mike 'telks' Telker is #1
"Do you care if I fire up some 18 mans while I wait for Miguel (MiguelSantiago OSS) to get here'" "No, go ahead its fine," I replied. I first met Mike Telker (Telks) in the Spring of 2009 (wow that went by so quick). I was at the point where I started to grind a lot more volume in MTTs, and Telks had recently started to get more serious about playing online poker. I had never met him, or ...

3 Queen10off's Blog 3: Chipleading WSOP Circuit & College Graduation
So it's been awhile since I last posted a blog. After finishing a mountain of work at the end of senior year I have finally graduated college. Graduation was fun with family and friends - I came to realize graduation was more for my parents than for me and they really enjoyed it. Now I have an abundance of time to focus on poker, business, traveling, and whatever else. My roommate and I made the ...

1 Marriage and Poker
Being in the farthest corner of the world doesn't help when it comes to poker, in that I mean the timezone is not naturally positive to a good marriage. I like to play in the evenings and the australian leaderboard has tourneys which start at 6pm thru to 11pm - the time when us married blokes are supposed to sit down with the missus on the couch and have a cuddle after a hard days work. So ...

1 What I would do if I won $5000 WCBOOP best blogger prize
First of all I would do a backflip! Then I would use the $5000 to fund a proper bankroll and start playing poker properly, no more buying $35 VISA's for $41 at 711 and buying in 2-3 times a month. No, that would give me the bankroll to keep my money on there, play proper tournaments and start my career as an online poker player. Finally would have the bankroll to absorb the downswings and could ...

1 POST 1: Today I give thanks for Poker
I know, I know, I know. Another boring poker blog where I get to vent about my bad beats and exclaim my days of run good. However, I am going to try and avoid doing that too much. Instead, I am going to try and give an account of my life as a 30-year old married, unemployed attorney, who is making the attempt for the next 9 months to take my shot at being a poker professional. Unfortunately, I am ...

1 Last $100
So I'm down to my last $100 on Pokerstars and I've decided I wont be making anymore deposits. I go through stages of playing for a few months then not playing for a few months but I think unless I pull of something miraculous with this last $100 it's time to call it a day I've got a good life outside poker so it's not a big deal I've been playing online for about 3 years now and would say I am ...

127 Sunday fun day
Today I went a paltry 0-9 in MTTs and I played a bit out of my BR in a couple. On any normal day no one MTT matters if I am playing with in my roll. Its easy to take a beat and keep going. But, today I enterer the $109 150k gtd and got very unlucky five spots from cashing. I called a players shove on the turn with a pair and the nut flush draw on a board that read 578ssc flop 6s turn. I had As6c ...

1 Time to shed these gills.
So... as the title suggests i've decided to start getting better. My aims/goals' Well i'm not looking for riches, fame and fortune. I realise that this might be difficult, bordering on impossible, so i've decided to start by aiming low. Firstly, i'd like to achieve 1 profitable month, with the aim of becoming a consistently profitable player (as consistent as you can be at this game!). ...

10 My first trip report
I've been back for almost a week and should have done this a long time ago but I'm sloth like. I landed in Reno at 1 p.m. and made it to the Peppermill in time for a 2p.m. $50 tourney. Mentally I wasn't prepared for the structure, blinds went up every 15 minutes and it was kind of equivalent to playing an online super turbo which I hate so instantly I was a bit tilted. Hung pretty much even for ...

Didn’t end up walking away from the sesh with a win, lost about 100$ ...
