[Total: 2    Average: 10/5]

Finally! Wow it’s been a tough one but I finally broke through my downswing. I started downswinging in Late March while still playing high stakes. Since final tabling the FTOPS ME in May 2009, I had been playing almost all levels of MTTs profitably but I hit that dreaded downswing after I had withdrawn a… Read more »

Value vs Showdown Value

Posted by | at 11:53 pm

[Total: 50    Average: 9.8/5]

One of the biggest leaks that I’ve observed in poker players, even relatively good and experienced poker players, is understanding when to bet to extract value and when to check because your hand has showdown value. There is a very fine line between the two, and knowing how to walk it could make the difference… Read more »

I am back from Las Vegas and have had some time to recover and get back to “normal life”. Although the tournaments I played did not go as planned, I still had an amazing time. RonFezBuddy and I shared a room at The Rio and it was alot of fun just getting to hang with him, talk… Read more »

Well, that’s it for my run at the WSOP Main Event. I made it halfway through day 3. The highpoint of my stack the entire tournament was 62k. There’s not much to say here. I made it through this far picking up blinds and 3 bet stealing. There was very little in the way of… Read more »

WSOP Day 2b

[Total: 0    Average: 0/5]

Well, I made it through Day 2. On to day 3 with 45k. Blinds will be 500/1000 100ante for the first hour and then go to 600/1200 200 ante. The average stack is around 86k so I’m not in super comfortable shape but having 45bbs in a tournament actually seems like a lot to me!… Read more »

Made it through to day 2! Was a rollercoaster of a day. I ended up with ~24k after being down to about 20k during level 2 and then as big as 60k during level 3. My table was pretty soft. A few older guys and a few burly home-game type players. Just one or two… Read more »
