More Hellmuth Whining for Monday

Mondays suck, huh?
So do whiners in poker. Here’s to whining on a Monday.

“I couldn’t put him reraising me with the Ace ten, donkey stuff.”

Oh yeah, he sucks at cash games.
I don’t see playing ace four [...]

Idea for Tournament Structure

So, I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the nature of luck in poker, and how it’s such a delicate line between the right move and the wrong move, and all arbitrary in the eyes of the cards being able to turn around those with a minuscule chance to win into the big champ.
What if [...]

Daniel Negreanu Hand Analysis

Interesting to see Daniel’s discussion of the hand here, pretty dead on as always, though I do think it’s a tough fold even with the reraise. Ultimately only losing $15k is less than a lot of other players would have lost, though I would be interested to see what would happen if the clubs hadn’t [...]

Kenny Tran Wins 2008 WSOP Heads Up

And continuing in the long strand of pros dominating the bracelet events so far this year– really it’s been almost an onslaught of all the big names, especially ones who hadn’t taken a bracelet in a while, looks like we’re on our way to a regime shift, if you will– Kenny Tran has now added [...]

Poker Tells by Derren Brown

An interesting video here with the magician Derren Brown, revealing poker tells based just on the way people talk about their cards.

I tend to be skeptical of filmed magic in particular, but regardless, the way he discusses the philosophy behind why people would put things in a certain order or move certain ways in certain [...]

Dario Minieri Wins a Bracelet?

Dario Minieri, also know as the extra from Lord of the Rings who made waves in the WSOP broadcasts last year for his reckless play and his ridiculous scarf, also known as the first guy to cash in PokerStars players points for a Porsche w/o being old enough to drive one, now turned his hyper-aggressive [...]

World Poker Tour Running 7’s

I totally feel like all my pots turn out like these, at least the big ones.
It does happen in real life, yes.
It’s cards.
Bad beat whining isn’t fun or pretty. Sure, it’s annoying to lose, but that’s the game.
Me and the game are gonna just mutually stare at each other for a while though, I think.
What [...]
