• Things not so good

  
  

  I've been bubbling a LOT lately and it's really got me down. 9th in the 200 Stud H/L on stars where 8 pay and 1st 4 cards are 2345, oh well, betting on the come works for some folks. Came close to the money in the 200 on UB last night, once again. I think... Read More... Posted Feb 28 2005, 09:02 PM by the_schmenx with No Comments

• So close yet so far

  
  

  What a weekend it was. I had a WSOP seat and $43k within reach and failed miserably in both scenarios. Both tournies have an interesting few hands that I'd enjoy sharing with everyone. Friday night I played in the WSOP satellite on Ultimate Bet with two... Read More... Posted Feb 28 2005, 08:25 PM by LatestLines2 with No Comments

  People ask me all the time, “How do you get to so many final tables?” or “What is your secret, how are you good at every game?” or “How do you play 8 or 9 games at once?” Here are my answers to those questions. First of all, to excel in anything, you... Read More... Posted Feb 27 2005, 06:04 PM by gank with No Comments

• A guide to single table tournaments

  
  

  When I first started playing poker online in mid 2003, I played $1/$2 limit cash games and low buy-in STT’s (also known as “minis” or “sit-n-go’s”). My bankroll was tiny at the time (rarely more than $100 in any online account at any given time), and... Read More... Posted Feb 25 2005, 02:45 PM by Adam with 9 Comments

• It’s much more fun when you’re winning!

  
  

  What’s up everyone? I’m definitely riding a big poker high right now as I have been to the casino five times the past week and a half and walked out a winner all five times.

• Update and a Crazy Penny Game

  
  

  Alright so it's been a few weeks since I last blogged. Maybe I'm a slacker, I guess I can't really deny that. However, the big reason that I haven't been blogging is because I really have not been playing too much the past couple of weeks. I have played... Read More...

• More rules & Slotsman of the month

  
  

  I have to say a big thank you to everyone who gave encouraging words after reading my first blog. I was a little overwhelmed by the response, to say the least.

• Getting back on the right track

  
  

  You always hear about poker players who go on bad streaks. If you play much, you’ve probably been on one, and if you play for a living, you know what it can do to you psychologically. I’ve been hovering for months, just unable to pick up a big win, and... Read More... Posted Feb 12 2005, 07:32 PM by Adam with No Comments
