• This has been one crazy week

  
  

  Whats up everyone? Sorry it took me so long to write my second blog. I’ve been telling myself everyday that I am going to do it, but then something bad happens that makes me lose interest. This past week has been one of those weeks--it’s like nothing... Read More... Posted Jan 31 2005, 06:38 AM by Jsup with No Comments

• He got me....again

  
  

  I decided a couple months ago that I would go down to Tunica for the WPT event there, which took place during the past week. I go to Tunica pretty often, since it’s only a little more than a 3 hour drive from my home in Nashville, and I thought it’d be... Read More... Posted Jan 29 2005, 08:52 AM by Adam with No Comments

• Recent Happenings

  
  

  This past week has been kind of nuts. I have been sick all week trying to catch up on the lack of sleep that I got over the weekend, which I spent in Tunica. I have played too much poker and talked too much poker. I was feeling pretty burnt out last night... Read More... Posted Jan 28 2005, 02:42 AM by Denny Lemieux with No Comments

• Close but no cigar and an audition

  
  

  I've come close a couple of times this week for the Commerce seat, 3rd (1600) and 4th (nada) in 2 tries. Sometimes you need to play to win, and that's just what I did. When it got 3 handed I was up against a pretty big action player, bobwest, and I limped... Read More... Posted Jan 25 2005, 06:45 AM by the_schmenx with No Comments

• Don’t misquote the gospel!

  
  

  Ok, so not really the gospel, but so many people mess these up, I thought it’d be fun to post these quotes from Rounders up here as a quick reference guide. Oh yea, and even though I watch it, you'll have to excuse me if I forget to post the cheese stained... Read More... Posted Jan 25 2005, 03:26 AM by Hogan24 with No Comments

• A Nice Few Days - Early Tourament Strategy

  
  

  Back on Tuesday, January 11th and Wednesday, January 12th I had a nice few paydays playing in the $10 NL, $7500 guaranteed and $30 NL, $8000 guaranteed tournaments taking first and third place respectively. Now I know I said my next blog would be about... Read More... Posted Jan 24 2005, 11:54 PM by Hogan24 with No Comments

• The highs and lows of poker

  
  

  Have you ever felt on top of the poker world? Ever had that same feeling stripped away from you not even 5 minutes later? This past week has been an absolute roller coaster ride for me--I don't think I've ever come across so many highs and lows in my... Read More...

• A real life sit-n-go with some internet pros

  
  

  Two nights ago, I was sitting in the lobby of my hotel in Tunica, MS, with about $1,000 in chips in front of me. We were down to 3-handed in our live "sit-n-go," which started each of us out with $300 in chips, and I was trying to get by my last two opponents... Read More...

• Random thoughts AND the day I almost OWNED

  
  

  I was sitting in my Cultural Diversity class today and looked around and noticed 30 white middle class students—is that ironic to anyone else? Our professor also passed around her Green Card, which was pink. What is going on in this world? Anyway, about... Read More... Posted Jan 20 2005, 12:46 PM by Denny Lemieux with No Comments

• How much is he buying in for?

  
  

  When I sit down at a 3-6 Limit Hold 'em table online, I typically buy in for an even amount of money. Sometimes it’s $100, sometimes it’s $300, but it’s almost always some round number. Is there any reason for this? Sure—it allows me to easily track how... Read More... Posted Jan 20 2005, 04:24 AM by Adam with No Comments
