Why online poker is incredibly boring!
Other then the occasional tournament with fellow bloggers, I’m officially burnt out from playing poker. I’ve come to realize that it’s just a dull game. The only thing that makes it exciting is the gamble when money’s involved. And when you get used to the stakes you’re playing it gets boring boring again. This is [...]
Ten goals for 2007
Rather then making one huge goal for this year, I decided to do a bunch of little ones. Here they are:
Make $50,000 without poker - This one’s a bit greedy, but I want to finish this year $50,000 ahead, working for my self.
Get really good google results with pokeronamac.com - I’m finally making the top [...]
What Really Happened to Stacks Poker
Everyone remembers stacks poker, right? They were a new poker room that created a lot of buzz with their 3d poker software and the generous promotions they promised to big players. Unfortunately they kept pushing their release dates back and were never able to make it past beta stage.
While this was happening, nobody really knew [...]
Holy Crap - Poker Videos!
I almost forgot to mention my new poker training site. I started Donkit a few months ago, with Kjell. At first we we were going to only sell ebooks, but we quickly realized that was a retarded idea and moved to poker videos.
The biggest feature that separates Donkit from other videos sites is that you [...]

Poor Kiwi
Sorry in advance if this ruins your day
I fought the power
I fought the power in todays DADI tournament (a tournament for poker bloggers who love the hammer), but the power was to strong for me. I was able to ride my short stack all the way into 9th place, which was exciting, but only the top 5 get paid.
Here’s the hand I went out [...]
Retarded “no blind increases” heads-up sng
While playing heads up sit and go’s I accidentally joined one of pokerstars new ‘no blind increases’ versions. What a mistake that was. They basically give you 1500 chips each, set the blinds at 15/30 and force you to play until someone loses their stack.
I think this is pokerstars response to everyone asking for heads [...]
Getting Back into Poker
For the past few months i’ve barely played any poker, but i’m just starting to feel like I am getting back into it again. I’ve always had the most success from heads up Sit and go’s, so that’s what i’ll be playing.
My plan is to start at the $50 level, and hopefully after I [...]
