  • Moving Up and the Humbling Step Back


    There has been one certainty in my journey to build my bankroll/wealth, increase my ability, and play with the very best. That certainty is that with every step along the way, I have almost always had to take a step back. When I beat my $5 games as a...

  • The Life of One White-Collar Grinder


    The clichéd justifications most people give for quitting school to play poker full-time are threefold: 1) "I'm not getting anything out of my classes and I don't go, so I should quit." 2) "I can't see myself working for someone else." 3) "I can't see...

  • Transitioning to a New Game


    One of the characteristics of poker I have always loved is how multi-faceted it is. In many games of skill I played before poker, even those with steep learning curves, once I mastered them I quickly became bored with them. In poker it is impossible to...

  • Poker 2007


    As we fast approach the end of another year, those of us who are more reflective usually look back and try to figure out what made the year special. Some years are defined by a single moment or event while other years are more a series of less pivotal...

  • Live Play Adjustments for Online Players


    I've been thinking a lot lately about the adjustments we need to make to adapt as internet players in the live arena. I'm interested in both writing somewhat of a guide and also starting any discussion and getting others opinions, since I’m by no means...

  • Ironsides and The Judge


    I went down to Florida recently to visit my grandfather in the VA nursing home/hospital there. I must say that the government takes care of the old veterans well down there. But it still made me sad to see a man who had once been so strong and mentally...

  • How Much Variance is in MTT's?


    We’re all familiar with the variance of poker, and we’ve all heard that MTT poker has very high variance compared to ring-games or STTs. Some days we play a near-perfect game, always getting our chips in good, and lose to a brutal series of suckouts....

  • Limit Hold'em Tournaments


    Ian Johns is a World Series of Poker bracelet winner and an instructor for CardRunners.com . Limit hold'em tournaments are really quite intriguing. This is largely because they’re thought about and discussed so much less frequently than no-limit tournaments...

    I’ve often said “maturity is the ability to look at the long-term consequences of short-term decisions.” Well, actually, I don’t think I’ve ever said that, until now. But I believe this statement to be true. Every day, young people are growing up in a...
