The Shark Tank

I am absolutely killing the 30/60 game at Party these days.  I’ve finally hit the point where I am immune to the ups and downs and believe that I am completely playing my A game without regard to the money. I made a correct calldown with Queen high in a blind steal situation that I [...]

I have a wicked cold that is just annoying enough to make me feel miserable and not quite serious enough to let me lay at home and watch bad TV.  I’ve been working very long hours and sleeping infrequently.  I haven’t even been able to play in a bunch of the ITH events this week [...]

I’ve been playing a lot more ring games lately, partly to chase the Party poker bonus and partly because I’ve felt so sharp in them the past few days.  Although I’ve been running good, I’ve also been playing very well and I’ve had a lot of fun.  I’ve been beating 30/60 for an unsustainable 6 [...]

As many of you know, my strongest game is full-ring limit hold’em. I’ve been focused on playing MTTs lately, primarily because of the ITH league, but also because I’ve been having a lot of fun playing in other tourneys.

Tommy Angelo is an amusing regular at 2+2 who writes amusing posts on poker strategy and life.  He is another limit grinder like me, which I like and he has a kind of attitude that makes me thnk we’d get along great.  He offers some very expensive poker coaching experience which I think I’d really [...]

I made another final table last night, extending my streak to 7 in a row. For the week, I earned over 1,100 points. Had I won every single event, I could have won a max of 1,296 so that is as close to perfect as I’m ever likely to get. I didn’t have nearly as [...]

I have made the final table at the last 6 ITH league events, including a first, a second, a third, two fifths and a eighth place finish.  Two of those fields had nearly 200 runners.  I really feel like I’ve been playing very well, in addition to getting lucky in the right spots.  I really [...]
