I’m not sure who reads these posts in the Daily Grind section; I don’t know that there’s much of value for an outside person? The other day I ran across an opponent again that I remember very well from the first time I was playing 25nl on a regular basis, Daw****. I have a lot […]

Installing a 3rd WordPress blog sharing the same database

Saturday, October 17th, 2009

Gaah, I tried to create a 3rd blog on my domain that shared the same database as this one and the main one. I thought it was working okay, but later this blog and the new one got crossed; trying to log in fresh to either one would take me to the other one. After […]

Not much poker time available these days, but I realized that I should note my Party Poker freeroll attempts. I’m sometimes (though not always, and I don’t know why) eligible for a private freeroll, even though in theory I shouldn’t be because there was a deposit date requirement back in the spring, long before I […]

From my previous post: “Third hand, same guy, AA UTG, raising slightly less looking for some action. He flats. Flop is not very good, hits his range much much more than mine, but I opt to bet in case he’s missed as well. If I get raised, I’m done with the hand. He flats, so […]

Nearing the end of May I’ve about completed 4 months of multitable grinding. So there I sit. Still with a negative bb/100 at 25nl, though that’s somewhat offset by the positive in 25pl. Note the W$SD for 25nl is lowest, an indication of how I’ve run poorly at that level. VPIP/PFR are about the same […]

Hello World, it’s March 17, 2009

What’s happened is that I’m playing more poker, playing more regularly, playing more focused. Meanwhile, my philosophical meanderings continue, which is what my main blog has become. So I came up with the idea of creating a sub-blog, somewhere to keep only daily grind or daily play thoughts, in note form. In many ways, this […]
