Online Poker - Game On!
I’ve been holding back a lot for the past few weeks, just waiting for the dust to settle with the new gambling legislation. While it’s still far from over, I think it’s much easier to speculate on what’s going on the future of poker now.
The day after the bill passed, PartyPoker and 888 immediately announced [...]
Heads up WCOOP event
I played in yesterdays $215 world championship of online poker event. Unfortunately I didn’t win or make it into the money. I won two rounds and lost the 3rd, which was the one right before the money.
The first two guys I beat pretty easy. They both choked early on and bluffed their chips away. [...]
Online Poker, Crazy phone calls, and the Wcoop
I just got off the phone with a lady (60’s or 70’s?) who called me about issues with casinoroom. That caught me off guard. I have a few casinoroom banners up here and there, but I definitely don’t work for them. I didn’t even know that my name and phone number was online. It was [...]
Poker on a Mac / BloggerPods
The BloggerPods tournament has been picking up a lot during the past few days. There’s more then 40 bloggers registered and ready to join, with a day to go. Wow! It seemed like just last week it was on pace to get around about 20 players.
It probably still would have been in the 10’s, if [...]
2006 PokerStars WCOOP schedule
Pokerstars just *leaked* their 2006 WCOOP schedule. Yes, they posted it on their blog and announced it as being leaked. My head hurts from thinking about that.
But anyway, they’ve got some very impressive tournaments lined up. Some notable events are:
September 16: Razz ($200+$15) $100,000 guarantee. Huh, razz? Do they have that? Well I guess they’ll [...]
Satellite Tournament Report
I played a few satellite tournaments to get into the PokerStars $1,050 this weekend. I played 4 or 5 on Saturday without any luck. I got really close though, but that doesn’t mean much in a satellite tournament. Then on Sunday I played one more and won a $1050 seat!
The one I almost won was [...]
BloodBath at Prima
The 200/400NL game on Prima poker is running with Fast_Freddie (Possibly Freddy Deeb) and bad_ip (some other guy with $$). This game is absolutely crazy! Every other pot seems to be more then $40,000, and $200,000 all in bluffs aren’t uncommon.
Here are two huge pots that happened within 5 minutes of each other.
On this first [...]
Crazy Pacific Poker
Although I really hate playing at pacific poker, I decided to make a deposit there today to get in a private tournament.
I didn’t have my password stored anywhere so I had to email them to get it. I tried doing this about two months ago and ended up getting in a two day 15+ email [...]
Limit Holdem Wrap-up
Last week I took a break from turbo sit&go’s on pokerstars to play some limit holdem poker. A site I used to prop at was running a 165% rakeback promotion. Props who played between 11am and 6pm would all get 165% rakeback for two days.
I know i’m not good at limit poker. I [...]
Limit holdem day two
Just want to post a quick update. I woke up at 10:45, and started four tabling 2/4 and 3/6 at 11am.
I was feeling pretty good this time. I played a lot more conservative. Pretty much avoided getting in big confrontations with marginal hands like 55-99, AT, KJ, and others that are usually either dominated [...]
