I’m on Facebook, a social networking site. Mostly I play a game called Scrabulous there with friends. It’s nice ’cause you can play one turn and then forget about the game until the next day or so and then go back and take your next turn. Facebook is heavy with all kinds of apps or [...]
Well, I’ve almost depleted my play money bankroll with the “playing blind” exercise, at least the amounts that will let me play the higher buyin Sit and Goes.

There is lots of basic information about why we should play poker aggressively, but it’s true, I don’t recall much about why we sometimes don’t or are hesitant to play [...]
Well, one of my poker sites has bitten the dust. I mentioned in my post on selecting a poker site that small sites can be a bit risky. I also mentioned in the freeroll strategy that small sites often offer more freerolls. The site that went down was a small site where I had my [...]
