Live Poker
Chimp and a Chair
We all laugh at Wong’s stories of his happy ending auto shop, stolen tow truck, and poker playing / mechanic monkeys. But still, in the back of our head we wonder how much of it can be true?
I was thinking about this because PokerShare just bought a monkey into the $10,000 WSOP main event. His [...]
Intricities of Playing Poker for a Living in a Casino
In Barry Greinstein’s book “Ace on the River”, he contends that Las Vegas professionals are the cream of the crop at gamesmanship, survival, and moneymaking skills, basically at all the things that are key in poker besides the actual game itself. Well this blog is dedicated to all those things.

Goodbye January, Hello Febuary
Well I couldn’t be more happy to see Janaury end. Even though I was vacation for nearly half the month, January wore me out. I had to play way more than usual and I like to and still didn’t make enough money. With my rent, bills, and other exspenses included, I did [...]
A day in the life of…
So today was another example of how extreme the swings have been getting lately. I start off today losing 1100 dollars right off the bat online. Five hundred of it was at 5/10 and the other six was at 15/30. I ended up taking a nap that lasted like 8 hours. [...]
Where did I leave off?
Well last I posted, I was planniing on playing the Mirage all week. That Monday I made 700 but the rest of the week was pretty frusterating. The games weren’t as tight passive as the week before. All in all, I wasn’t playing that good and my disapline was waning. But [...]

Friday-Sunday
Man I am tired. I have been in the poker room way too much. One thing it has allowed me to see is that I may be the least hardest working mid limit pro at the Bellagio. The people I usually play with are routinely playing until the morning hours while I [...]
Mid Week Update

Tuesday was a long day of [...]
Friday-Sunday
Well since I haven’t updated in a few days I will try to summarize as quickly as possible. Friday I played a little online in the afternoon and made $475. Later I got a call from Poolshark who is in town and met up with him at the Bellagio pretty late. I [...]

There were 4 15/30 games going and got seated before too long. I had what appeared to not [...]
