Whew. yesterday was the Big Day around here. luckily i finished my Christmas shopping around 2 am on Christmas Day. at 3:30, before i made it to bed, the young lad (11 yrs) walks down the steps and i say “good morning”. he response with “i’ll go get mom and Alexa”. hehe.
i told him it’s [...]
New Year’s Eve is ON! in conjunction with a group of citizens from Shamokin who are concerned about the state of Partying on New Year’s, we (NextaNuthin) have secured the Uniontown Fire Co in Tharptown so we can hold a New Year’s Eve social.
I’ve been here before, and I think it’s a great place for [...]
all right. played a short session tonight and dropped not quite 3 buy-ins. that puts my track record at Down just shy of 5 buy-ins over 6,500 hands at the 25NL tables. i swear i don’t feel like i’m that bad of a poker player. so, in an effort to see where i’m handing away [...]
here’s an odd one. i got a ton of hands in over the last three days, and i really thought i was playing well with the occassional hiccup. all told though, i’m down, which in this particular case Pisses Me Off. the total i’ve spent playing cards these last three days is roughly $15.50. but [...]
my poker plan for ‘08 that is. i’m digging the idea behind this Stairway to High Stakes. although to be honest, i’m not actually planning on following it.
i’m thinking that i’ll either:
A.) grind it out at FTP ’til I get a padded roll for $50 NL multi-tabling, and then make the jump
B.) learn to play [...]
i feel better, and i haven’t had the coffee yet. i’m checking losers from last night, and it’s a matter of flopping second best hands.
i flop middle set to a made straight on a double-flush board and it goes in on the flop. board doesn’t pair. it was 1 buy-in. i don’t know, i’m still [...]
i played tonight for a couple of hours. i should have been watching videos instead, but that’s not what i did.
Recap: I’m not sure i have any idea what the hell i’m doing. well, i have some idea. but tonight was absolutely filled with “WTF?!?!?” moments. right now my head hurts and i’m not thinking [...]
first off, i’m on the edge of going on a blogging rampage, so if you’re dialing in for poker-only results, make sure to check in on the CardRunners channel. of course, this post will appear underneath all of the nonsense to follow, so fat lot of good that piece of advice does.
i got on the [...]
instead of thinking out loud in the comments section of Wilee’s blog, i thought i’d do it here. less clutter, lol.
here’s the hand in question:
http://weaktight.com/60997
Hero
$49.00
UTG+1
$102.67
Action:
”1 fold, UTG+1 raises to $2, 1 fold, Hero raises to $7.5, 2 folds, UTG+1 goes all-in $100.67 ”
basically, the decision is whether or not to call a 4-bet shove with [...]
in a nutshell. things are going fine, but i think i need to spend more poker time in December learning than playing. seriously, something like 2 hours of vids for 90 minutes of play.
i’ve switched rooms for the moment, and i’m playing at one of those places that has sportsbetting and casino gaming attached to [...]
