Online MTTs & Dumb Players

Played a couple of $3 + .30 Kill MTT’s tonight while watching the NCAA final. Hadn’t played in a good while, just kind of goofing around. Not really any good action to speak of, though I couldn’t help but notice how many people, especially at this low level, just love love love the min raise [...]

“Bottom-line: I have lost about 80% of my sessions during the last month and a half. That’s right, 80%! I have to ask my self a couple of questions: Should I play No-Limit Hold’em instead of Pot-Limit Omaha? Is the opposition simply too [...]

Not All of Em Suck

Note to Poker Commercial writers: of all the ads out there, I think this is one of the only that isn’t embarrassing for both you writing and us watching.

Thanks.

Method to Madness

Evidently Hevad ‘I’m almost as annoying as Humberto Brenes’ Khan has a little more up his sleeve than antics, and his run at last year’s WSOP wasn’t a fluke.
from cardplayer.com’s news story:
In event No. 9 of the Foxwoods Poker Classic, a $2,000 buy-in no-limit hold’em prelim, 2007 World Series of Poker main event final tablist [...]

Mike Matusow HORSE lessons

CardPlayer has a new tutorial video on their site now, available to preview here, in which Mike Matusow plays some $100/$200 limit HORSE. Not a whole lot interesting playwise, but kind of funny in several other ways.
(1) I don’t know what kind of mouse Mike uses, but it sounds like it’s from the 80’s. The [...]
