• Things Clearing Up

  
  

  I have never claimed to be a bright person, and the other day I did one of the dumbest things I have done in a while, at least in a poker sense. It was about 4:30 p.m., and I wasn't doing much, so I decided I'd try to get a $200 ten man sng going. On... Read More... Posted Mar 16 2005, 02:44 AM by Denny Lemieux with No Comments

• Well, no such a miracle this time WSOP Doubleshootout on Stars

  
  

  I tried the doubleshootout on stars for the 1st time and made the Final Table. My 1st table had no recognizable names and a few players that were a little too agressive. The key hand was 3 handed where I raised with JJ on the button, the BB went all in... Read More... Posted Mar 13 2005, 01:44 AM by the_schmenx with No Comments

• I think I'm getting it back together and a few miracles

  
  

  I just won the UB 4:00 pm 100. I caught a few miracles along the way. I made 6th in the stud H/L on stars yesterday (pretty decent sized field). More about today........ I was pretty low stacked and raised with 55, I was pretty much committed and another... Read More... Posted Mar 12 2005, 08:33 PM by the_schmenx with No Comments

• Guest Article: P0ker H0's Stories from Paris

  
  

  I went to Paris about a month ago, after winning a satellite on UB, and there are a couple of funny stories from the trip that I would like to share with you. Everyone who knows me knows I'm a big story teller. I hope you guys enjoy these. We were at... Read More... Posted Mar 11 2005, 01:08 AM by P0ker H0 with No Comments

• Trying to keep rolling

  
  

  7th in the UB 100 last night and really should have done better. Played a marginal hand QJ 8 handed flopped high card Jack and the dude slowplayed his QQ (I bet 3x b4 flop). He was made a small bet on the flop and I just called, J 8 5 (I think 2 dimonds... Read More... Posted Mar 10 2005, 07:48 PM by the_schmenx with No Comments

• My European Adventure

  
  

  Hi everybody! It's 3:30 a.m. in Vienna right now, and I have now been awake for two hours....when is my sleep schedule going to resemble "normal?" I flew in yesterday (or earlier today, depending how you look at it), after being lucky enough... Read More... Posted Mar 09 2005, 08:47 PM by Adam with No Comments

• Hoping things are turning around

  
  

  I played a few tournaments this afternoon and got 7th in the Paradise 30 rebuy. I kind of have a bad taste because I went so card dead on the final table with raises in front of me. I never was in real danger until I got knocked out. No flips the entire... Read More... Posted Mar 09 2005, 06:24 PM by the_schmenx with No Comments

• Trying to get back on the Good Foot

  
  

  I won a small PL omaha h/l tourney on Paradise yesterday where I made what I thought was a reasonable call on the money bubble (paid 5/45 players). It pretty much got me there and made someone basically go nuts on me and call me many names. I was in 2nd... Read More... Posted Mar 09 2005, 01:06 PM by the_schmenx with No Comments

• Another crazy week of tournaments

  
  

  What’s up everyone? I'm a little burnt out from all the poker I've been playing the last few days. Two $600 buy in tournaments in the last 2 days with over $1 million prize pool in each tournament is not what I am used to. Neither were very successful... Read More...

• "No Shame in Folding"

  
  

  Allright, so poker has been a little slow for me lately, and I have actually taken a little time off here and there to do some school stuff, a little uncharacteristic, but it had to be done. I have really only played 3 tournaments of note within the last... Read More... Posted Mar 07 2005, 04:46 AM by Denny Lemieux with No Comments
