End of an era - cashing out

Date: Sat, Mar 14, 2009 Internet

My friends, I have come to a long hard decision to put an end to this blog. For the last 4 years I have had one hell of a long poker session. I've learned quite a bit in those years and I feel I'm going out at the peak of my game. I've made some wonderful contacts over the last several years and will always treasure the friendship and counsel that I received. But, as all things must, I've...

When you want your opponent to have pocket Aces

Date: Mon, Mar 2, 2009 Internet

There are only a few instances where you want your opponent to have pocket Aces and tonight I ran into that very hand. This hand will go down as my hand of the day because the way I played it, the cards came just as I wanted them and then some. Player4 was in the middle of the pack and it was early on. I hadn't seen too many hands played by him yet but I saw an opportunity and put him on a...

Play changes during promo time

Date: Sat, Feb 28, 2009 Internet

It's been a long month and I've played poker only sparingly. I got interested in the cash games again recently when PokerStars began their 25 Billionth hand promotion. All of the tables were crowded as cash awards were being given out ever 1 millionth hand over the course of a week during the promo. The tables were busy and the play was very slow. As tens of thousands more players crowded in...

Pocket Queens vs Aggression

Date: Mon, Jan 19, 2009 Internet

I got back onto the micro-limit 6-man NL Holdem tables this morning after a nice long break. I'm continuing to build my bankroll playing short table NL Holdem after reaching my plateau a couple months back. Today's hand is about observation and taking advantage of over-aggressive players tendencies. I had been playing at this table for about 30 minutes and had just taken out a smaller stack...

When pocket Aces draw you in

Date: Sat, Jan 3, 2009 Internet

I always hate using hands starting with pocket Aces as an example hand but in this case it had some interesting twists to it that ended up making me wonder if I had played this properly the entire way. I was in the Big Blind playing at a micro stakes 6-max NLHE. To my immediate right was a very aggressive player (Player5) who seemed to have a great time controlling most of the other players. I...

6-max NLHE hand of the day

Date: Fri, Jan 2, 2009 Internet

While I was taking a break from getting ready to do some homebrewing, I sat down for a half hour before dinner to play some 6-max NLHE on PokerStars at the micro level. I had been playing for a short time when I came across this hand. The player I was up against had been very aggressive in previous hands and wasn't afraid to build up a pot quickly. Most of the time other players would back...

6-max micro limit NL Holdem

Date: Sat, Dec 27, 2008 Internet

Ever since I hit my goal of breaching the $1K level a month or so ago, I've played very little poker. But lately, every once in a while I get the urge to play a bit. So, I normally take about $10 and go play the 6-max $.02/.05 NL Holdem tables. At this level, the most they let you bring to the table it $10 but I opt to bring about $9 to play with most of the time. I hunt for a table that...
