Ongoing evidence that Jamie Gold is a tool

Wednesday, August 23, 2006 9:32 2 Comments

I concluded that he was a jerk based on an interview he did where he came across very badly in my opinion. You would think a Hollywood agent would have access to some top notch PR folks, but apparently he doesn’t. Or he isn’t listening to them.
You will remember that I mentioned that [...]

Maybe HORSE isn’t so easy, after all

Monday, August 21, 2006 15:34 No Comments

I continue to see shockingly bad play in the Stud rotations.  Unfortunately, the great dice game in the sky is currently dictating that I lose to these bad players.  My personal favorite is he guy who started (88)79 in Razz who outdrew me when I started (42)A3.  I’ve run some twodimes analysis on things and [...]

Various Daniel Negreanu thoughts

Monday, August 7, 2006 15:15 2 Comments

Like most of you, I primarily know Daniel from television.  I’ve always thought highly of him based on what you see.  He seems to have an uncanny instinct for reading other players and challenging them with his unorthodox style of play.  Although, thanks in some part to his own success, his style of playing a [...]

Better than flopping a set

Tuesday, August 1, 2006 11:43 No Comments

I’ve been playing a lot of Stud-8 lately. I cut my poker teeth on 7 card stud, so I was already fairly familiar with the game as a poker standard. It is still probably one of the best live games played, because player reading is so important and relatively easy to do if [...]
