A whole bunch of little things.
Lost 3 buyins 4 tabling last night. Partly it’s just cards, but I have to look at some of the other things that went wrong. 2 times I shoved a hand over a flop reraise OOP, both times perhaps I was ahead of the range, but probably not. What I [...]
A few entries ago I tried to compare multitabling to video and computer games. While I was working on it something clicking in the back of my mind but I didn’t quite have access to it at the time. Now I remember what it was.
There was a very simple DOS game that I played, and [...]
One thing that permeates this blog in many different ways is the difference in playing levels. There isn’t a lot of categorized discussion about it on the internet, other than when people say “at this level, expect …” In other words, they understand there is a difference, but I’m surprised at the lack of delineation [...]
A minor posting attempt.
Lacking time and focus I played a $1 SnG turbo last night ’cause I had 1/2 hour to kill. And today I signed up for a freeroll on CD, forgot about it and came back 20 minutes into it.

Kind of a continuation of the last entry. The last was somewhat incomplete as I had a feeling that there was more that I’d like to explore, but now I’ve got another approach.
There are a number of possible reasons/objectives relative to playing poker, for me at least.
Fun of the game
Increase my bankroll
Improve/practice/develop my skills
Occassional friendship [...]
I’m not grinding very well. In terms of win rate, it’s dropped again, but that’s not my biggest concern. More of a concern is the fact that I only play $10NL 2 or 3 times a week, and when I do I let myself quit after I get over 200 hands, but since I’m 4 [...]
I datamined for a while today at one of the sites that I play at. Basically opened up a bunch of $25NL tables and let PT collect data. Collected close to 7,000 hands of history. I removed players who had less than 5 orbits (44 hands or less) although I suppose though you can’t say [...]
