One of the biggest mistakes you see at a lot of home games especially where the action is super loose is people trying to chase down flops with just overcards. It always stings a little when you bet your top pair hard and see that K or Q come down and then they’re betting into […]
To follow up on my Top 5 Most Fun Players to Watch post from last week, I thought I’d give it a go at listing the top 3 most annoying players to watch. Most anyone who reads this blog will have a pretty good idea who I’m going to say (it’s not a tough choice […]

I’d play a lot better if it weren’t my own money all the time. Not that I’m playing with money I can’t afford to lose, but still, I’m not overflowing.
I wonder where all those old school players found their benefactors. How you go about that.
Maybe they had poker blogs and asked nicely?

This week’s feature on the sports channel here @ b5, we’re discussing what it is we love about sports and/or our sport of choice (mine being poker).

I’m always surprised to hear what people call their favorite hands. A lot of people say, “I like whatever wins the pot.” Ok, good. A lot of other people say, “My favorite hand is aces.” Thanks. Aces are okay, though they actually aren’t my favorite hand because they usually end up getting tangled with and […]
I’ve been thinking a bit about trying to fix leaks in a bankroll. I’ve been playing excellently lately for the most part and still can’t see to more than break even, mostly due to a series of crappy beats. Though I’ve been paying more attention to hands that make me lose money. Or hands that […]

There’s been a bit of discussion lately among my local poker friends as to what “friendly play” consists of at a table. I play a few different games during the week, one a home game where it’s just friends and low blinds and moderate buyins, another slightly higher stakes ring game with many more unknown […]
