Calling Clock

Yeah, I’m blogging this one.
So, last night at my local home game, a $1/$1 blind NL game played with no rake and an average $60 buy-in, just for fun, I got into a rather strange situation.
The table had cleared down to 5 people. One player had acquired almost all of the chips at the table, […]

Another instance of Table Talk

So, in looking at Jamie Gold and the way he basically talked himself out of losing another $150k, which is definitely his only obvious poker talent, annoying as it is, I remembered a pretty strange instance of table talk that happened at a home game I go to a while back.

Friendly Play

So, you go to a bigger sized no limit game with a bunch of strangers and you bring a friend. Your friend plays pretty solid poker. You end up in a pot with your friend alone and he bets out at you, equal to the size of the pot. You know he probably has at […]

Watching the sucker jump

It’s funny how when you’re playing at a table with a player or two who is loose and reckless and yet somehow keeps making huge hands and getting paid off, you know that in the long run, he’s going to get broke. So you stay at the table and probably tighten up a bit and […]
