Poker, basics and musing
A three year+ veteran in the world of casual on-line poker, I've been writing about poker since I started playing. Originally the purpose of writing was to help me to remember things that I learned in hopes that I would actually use them while playing. Over time the writings have taken on a philosophical/psychological bent and hopefully the strategy and thinking has become a little more sophisticated.

But I've never been a heavy grinder, someone who logs multiple hours a day playing poker. I've probably spent as much time thinking and writing about poker as actually playing it.

Read up on some of the basics of poker, or see what poker thoughts I've thinking lately.
