  • Poker 101 - Lesson A


    When I first started playing poker it frustrated me that I couldn’t find a place that answered the simple questions I had about the game. The pros would make references to concepts that they probably considered common sense and too remedial to explain...

  • Is Being Right Enough?


    The $50 buy-in multi-table online tournament was heading towards the money. Of the original 689 entrants, 63 would get paid. Now, 80 were left and I was one of them. My 19000 chip stack put me square in the middle of the pack and, as I am patiently waiting...

  • How to Outplay a Bot


    Bots exist. We'd like to ignore it, but we can't. They exist, and they're smarter than us. They can calculate pot odds and winning percentages faster and more accurately than we can count to ten, and they can tell us more about how we play than we can...

  • Beanie OWNS, PROdige...Sleeps?


    Alright no one wants to say it, but let's face it, Beanie OWNS. Heads up was gator93 and Beanie, couldn't they both just have lost? I mean they both have won the damn thing 4 times, it's getting kind of old. Clearly they know the UB algorythym (joke)...

  • Guest Article: The Rush


    I want to talk a little about why I play this game and how my reasons have changed over the years; but in order to do that I need to tell you all a little bit about myself. I began playing poker about three years ago, when my husband was very ill and...

  • Laying Low Playing Low


    I haven't been posting but I've been on a pretty depressing run. I'm trying to become a better person through it, and poker can definitely be a character builder. I feel that I'm pretty tough on myself, and I think to be a great player, you need to be...

  • I learned something today


    Last night I played a 50+5 MTT on Party with around 300 players and when I got knocked out I learned a little something. I’ll give you the whole story in hope that you can learn the same lesson without it costing you any money. I got no cards but for...
