How did I improve?

Sunday, October 25th, 2009

I was searching through some of my old posts, searching for cashout/deposit information because I was trying to build a spreadsheet that tracks my “net”; my online bankrolls plus my net cashout/deposits. It’s actually starting to get to the point that I can’t keep track easily any more because of redeposits (chasing redeposit bonuses) and [...]

Freedom

Friday, October 16th, 2009

Are you free? Or maybe the question should be, how free are you? To what degree can you say that you chose to work every day, at the job that you work at? Or school, or family situation? Sometimes I wonder about people who commit crimes or commit suicide or suffer mental breakdowns or stress [...]

Casual poker?

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

Sometimes I just feel like playing a game of poker. Not necessarily 4 tables, not necessarily pressuring the hands either by playing higher stake single tables. It almost makes me long for the days when I played play money; the casualness of the sitting down at a table, hoping to win but not feeling pressured [...]

Hierarchy of weaknesses/errors

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

What happened to the patience?

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

I’ve taken a bit of a break from the multi-table grinding. Not playing as much, watching some poker videos, doing other things than poker. Last night while I was watching a video I decided to fire up a single $1 turbo SnG for something to do. I ended up playing 3, and doing poorly in [...]

Patience

Thursday, November 27th, 2008

Wow, so I finished my 50,000 words for NaNoWriMo already so I’m free to start playing poker again. I thought I’d better ease into it again, and fired up a $1 turbo SnG. Kx in the BB, K high flop, I expect the limper in middle position to bet at it as I’ve seen him [...]

MTTs, and the start of the NFL season

Sunday, September 7th, 2008

Regular season of the NFL is finally underway. Football is one of the few other things that I bet on, but only in office football pools. I don’t know why I picked the Washington Redskins to cover the spread against the Giants. It’s going to take a while for the new coaching staff to get [...]
