Well, it has been quite some time since my last blog entry, and that has mostly to do with me being away for the month of July for my annual Army Reserve training exercise. Since getting back home on 6 Aug, I’ve played live a couple times down at The Rivers and only online once or twice. [...]

I played live down at The Rivers for a good session on Thursday, and another short session yesterday afternoon. I plan on relaxing tonight and then playing a monster session tomorrow night and going to work on Monday tired as hell. The important things, right? Anyway, mentally, I think I played really well, didn’t tilt, and I’m stayed very [...]
I’ve finally worked my way through Jared Tendler’s new book “The Mental Game of Poker” (TMGP), and I am excited to say that this book is an absolute MUST READ for anyone who takes poker seriously. Casual players and players who play just for fun need not read this because its not a book that you [...]
I would never post this in the BBV forums, so I thought I’d write about this brag here. As I said before, I’ve played 1/3 down at the casino several times now since Black Friday, and overall I’m happy with my play. A few nights ago, the following hand came up. I was playing for [...]
I’ll be sharing my thoughts on this hypocritical government crackdown on online poker in the coming days, weeks, and months once I calm down about it and collect my thoughts. As a wise man once told me: “Calmer heads prevail.” Unfortunately, right now (and quite often), I do not have the calm head necessary to share any [...]
Well, it’s mid-April, and I’m still running like hell with an EV-adj of $441 and total winnings of -$1951. Just slightly under $2500 EV, which is horrendous over 18.6K hands. However, after a solid database review tonight, DR helped me to identify a key way to mitigate the suckout fest by focusing on my Red [...]
So I’m only supposed to make Blog posts when I do good in poker, right? Well, at least i’d like to only do that. Unfortunately, I can’t do that now because March was a little rough to say the least. I know it’s terribly brutal and corny to use this phrase (and anyone can feel [...]
So it’s been almost 3 months since my last blog post. I always vow to update this more regularly, but then life seems to catch up and the blog among other things become forgotten – ho hum. Perhaps by posting a few days before the end of the month, this may serve as a reminder to post [...]
It’s always nice to see a 45 degree angle on my poker graph for the month (with the small exception of Dec 31st, of course). Like November, I didn’t miss a beat as I cashed in 20 buy ins over 23K hands at 8.55 bb/100. Again, this is nothing more than simply solid play at [...]
August was a brutal, break-even poker month for me, as evidenced by my being 6 days late in writing this blog entry. In fact, I had a much bigger win 2 nights ago at the local Casino than I did collectively all month online. The month started off great as I was running high on a [...]
