disclaimer: for those that don’t know, i’m tight. and half the time i’m not even tight/aggressive, just nitty.
the other night i sat down to a $50 buy-in, and one of the players had $300+ in front of him. he also had a VPIP of 70+%, at a six man table, pfr of 25% or so. [...]
i had been playing, but not getting in many noteworthy hands. so there has been a lack of posting on my part, but not a lack of poker-effort.
one hand that did make me wonder a bit was this one . . .

ok, it’s finally here. the Mossy Point music fest will be kicking off tomorrow, gates open at 10AM. i won’t be there that early, lol.
after a lot of scheduling changes, we’ve settled into the 9-10pm time slot. and, with the Point Blanksters (Tatto Messiah?) playing right before us, i expect we’ll take the stage on [...]

these last two days pulling into the 15th of July were completely uneventful poker-wise as i spent one working and the other on a trip with the family. while “on break” i thought about the game a smidge, and decided that it was time to take inventory, and then prep for growth.
on the inventory front:
i [...]
the fact that any hand of cards should be played in a player-dependant manner isn’t exactly noteworthy. but, me being the slow learner that i am, i’ve forgotten to apply that principle adequately to KK, or even QQ. see my previous two posts, hehe.
in the end, i’ve decided that NO, I don’t have to automatically [...]
these past two days i’ve logged a lot more play time (about 3,000 hands) than i have reading and blogging. i played some remarkably poor poker, but was delivered from a huge downswing by some very timely cards. not so much in the line of suckouts (although i did get rescued once from underneath an [...]
i have to say that this is a hand that i get stacked more often than i stack with. in the early going i was questioning people to make sure that it’s ok to go all-in preflop with it because i ran into a series of small preFlop pick-ups, or stacking off to AA. it [...]
