Running Hot - ready for the battle of the bloggers tourney
Actually I’m running standard, if not a bit cold, in terms of wins, but the poker gods decided to entertain me today with some big hands. Within a 20 minute time frame I won a $290 pot with quads (vs the top full house) and then a $167 pot with a royal flush.
Oh, and [...]
An uneventful FTOPS #1
I played the first $216 FTOPS tournament today. I made it two and a half hours in, through a third of the field, before busting out of the money.
For the most part of the tournament I was card dead. I played the entire event with a below average stack, and didn’t even see a [...]
Another satellite win - super!
I’m running well in these FTOPS satellites on Full Tilt. So far i’ve spent about $300 and around 5 hours on satellites and won a seat in the $530 and $1,060 events.
I super satellited my way into the $1,060 event tonight. First I won a $24 super satellite to get an entry into the $150 [...]
Trash talk makes it sweeter
I was feeling a little unsatisfied after the busting out of the mookie tournament, and I just finished posting the new FTOPS schedule from Full Tilt on my other site, so I decided to play an FTOPS main event satellite. Somehow everything went right and I won an entry! It’s nice to win on the [...]

Pot Limit Omaha Fun
You’re missing out on an incredibly fun game if you don’t play Pot Limit Omaha. It’s where all the nuts and tilting players go to throw around their money.
The key in Omaha is to find a really good table. It’s worth the extra time to scope out a few tables to find the nutty [...]
Back to Civilization / Goal update
I was in the middle of Amish country over the weekend riding at camp Woodward with a bunch of friends. Driving through the town is like going back in time 200 years. The Amish drive around on the side of the road in their horse and buggies and only wear goofy black and white clothes. [...]
Makes you think twice about playing poker online…
I’m not sure if this video is good or bad for online poker, but it’s by the PPA so i’m pretty sure they have good intentions.
Bloggerpods 2 and the freeroll whores.
I’m registered in the free BloggerPods poker tournament on Full Tilt Poker
I’m really excited about the second bloggerpods tournament (March 4th - get in!). The competitive part of is starting to take over and I’m already strategizing how I’m going to win. I know that if it’s anything like the previous one, when a blogger [...]
Why online poker is incredibly fun!
I admit my last post was somewhat depressing. The polotics might be getting to me because I don’t always feel that way about poker. Even without gambling and playing out of your range it can be a really fun and challenging game.
The first thing that first drew me to this game was the challenge. I [...]
