I’m not sure how widespread knowledge of this site is, but if you play online poker you should probably know about the player database known as sharkscope.com, which keeps records of tournament information for most of the major online casinos. Every sit n go, every tournament online you’ve ever been in is recorded and updated […]

Full Tilt is running a promo right now where any day between now and Jan 4th if you earn more than 20 player points they will give you double the points to your account. I’d always looked at these things as pretty worthless, since I’m not interested in a ballcap with flaming aces on it […]

From now on, let’s call Full Tilt Poker by its true name: Get It In With The Worst To Win Poker.
I really have never seen so many hands in a row where a hand is way behind when the money goes in and somehow finds a way to catch up. It’s almost become a […]

Interesting new book came out in October, an Omaha book by Sam Farha titled, rather unsurprisinly: FARHA ON OMAHA.
I haven’t had a chance to take a look at it yet but hopefully it’s written in the manner of style Farha exudes at the table, which would make for pretty interesting reading, if not an insight […]

My own personal jaunt into the world of Sit N Go winnings gets the wine bottle crushed on its hull today, as I turned one of my $26 tournament entry chips (won with player points) on Full Tilt into a 4th place $107 finish.
Placing in the money (only the top 6 of 45 got paid) […]

Do most people not realize that when you miss the flop with AK (big slick) and your opponent has made any pair, if you do not have another draw besides your over cards you are a 28% dog?
I always find it confusing the way people overvalue AK to such an extent, willing to put so […]

So as I said in the last post, our spur of the moment trip to Tunica and the Gold Strike didn’t quite go as planned. I took a couple of early hits (in the first 5 minutes I lost most of my original $200 buy in) and ended up playing some ridiculous poker. I let […]

So we came back a day early from Tunica. That probably gives you some suggestion as to how it went. Got off on a bad foot and kept jumping on that same foot. Down a good chunk, thus concreting my poker break through the new year if not longer.
I’ll give more details later, but let’s […]

So, as is usual with my style in gambling trips, I am about to go drive to Tunica. Sudden, spur of the moment trip, which is the way I’ve always done it. Get the idea, pack and go.
So much for my ‘break.’
Wish me luck at the tables. Hopefully I’ll have some interesting tales for the […]

Though there’s not a poker book by him, yet Gus Hansen does have a blog.
Unfortunately there’s not a lot of actual poker theory discussion. It’s more like him saying where he went and maybe certain hands, though perhaps if you dig back a bit there’s more discussion of his philosophy.
I liked when they showed him […]
