Online poker is a very interesting animal when you think about it. Before the internet and the growth of the game and medium we love if you were to become a great player you were either born with the ability or you started early, and played in everything you could (mostly a lot of home… Read more »

So todays question is once again more of a philosophical nature than anything specific. The question of the day is this, as poker players we are always scouring for the beatable game. We want to find the pond where all of the fish swim where we can be the lone shark and dine as… Read more »

Alas poor Gman, I knew him well (I hope I didn't offend poor Yorick there.) Sorry for the dramatic flair, my title had me in a bit of a Shakespeare vain and I just couldn't resist. First things first, an update on last nights activities. It was a slow tourney night, I managed a 97th… Read more »

So before you all lynch me for asking the question, let me share with you my thoughts on the subject and then we can have a civilized discussion and come to an informed conclusion. How does that sound. Hey, I said civilized, no throwing things…. Okay on with the subject of the day. So the… Read more »

So last night was another exciting night for the Gman. First I have to start off with a big congrats to Rivermen123 for his 4th place finish in the Daily Dollar Rebuy. It was an exciting ride watching him navigate a 10k runner field to get there. Awesome work sir, you should be proud! … Read more »

So I have just awoke from recovering from my evening and morning. There is something so enormously satisfying about being up late and making a huge deep run. There is something distinctly irritating having to wake up and shove a crap load of snow. I'll give you the run down of the evening here… Read more »

Having an outside observer in your life and to your activities can be an incredibly powerful tool. It can be frustrating to catch the unexpected opinion at times and it can certainly throw you as well. The reason I bring this up is if you have been following, I have been working hard on re-defining… Read more »

Kind of a test of this format, but if people prefer it I might start doing my blog this way every time.

It has been a few days since I have written so I thought I would update where things are at. The biggest thing that has been going on is I have been working very hard at transforming my post flop game and trying diligently to develop into a more logical approach to post flop play… Read more »

Hey, Had a very interesting grinding day today. Started off by dropping 1.4k in 1/2 and 2/4 nlhe which was fun. Then I tossed some poker chips and got back to business, turning that around to -$900. I lost 4 flips and was at -$1600 before I could blink. I would have normally been tilting… Read more »

Poker is a game defined by your actions and results at the tables. It is in its purest form an individual endeavor. You against the world. Something that I never really appreciated until I landed here at TPE though is that you can never really rise as an individual player without the people around you…. Read more »

They tell you that the first step in recovery is to admit that you have a problem. To stop living in denial, stand up and face the demon and then prepare to spend the rest of your life fighting it. Well here it goes. My name is LPG and I am addicted to playing AQ… Read more »

Coaching sessions have the nasty habit of pointing out to you where your deficiencies lie. I suppose that would be the entire point of them, and thankfully last night I got my moneys worth. I think these activities are so crucial to keeping you successful or helping you become successful as a player. So what… Read more »

Hey Guys, I doubt anyone reads my blog, partly due to the fact that I don't write anything. But I hear writing a blog is therapeutic, so I am going to start. Poker is going pretty well, I went on like a 2k DS in cash last week, but the last two days I caught… Read more »

Today's thoughts are not about poker, or hand reading, or my thoughts on analysis or the Mini UBOC which kicked off with a decent start for me (lost KK to AA in Event #1 for a top 5 pot, but played very well), 2 was a disaster (but you will see why in a minute)… Read more »

Something that I think is incredibly important is evolving your game and style to match where you want to play and the evolve to stay ahead of the current high pace learning curve. That being said, over the last couple of months I have been working very hard on growing my game and ensuring that… Read more »

Last night was my last large field session prior to the start of the Mini UBOC on Sunday and I have to say that I found some confidence in a strange place. What exactly do I mean by that, well I had spent the evening bricking most stuff which seems to be the order of… Read more »

Mini UBOC is nearly upon us. Sunday at 1430 EST begins the adventure. So how have things gone, so far so good. I have been running deep regularly (lots of top 100 finishes in 1500-2000+ fields) so I am not terribly upset at progress. What I have noticed is that a few subtle tweeks to… Read more »

I posted on my Facebook page recently that 2010 was one of the greatest years of my life. Now I'm a fortunate guy and I have had many great years, but 2010 was truly a special one. A big part of that was launching Tournament Poker Edge. RonFezBuddy and I started talking about launching this… Read more »

Well, I have looked over the schedule, did my thinking and planned my preperation, so whats left? I thought I would share what my series is going to look like. I have 16 events planned to play in, all NLHE as I am still not confident enough in my PLO game to take that to… Read more »

So the preperation continues. Mini-UBOC 6 starts in 10 days and now is the critical time to get ready. Last night was the first night back at the tables after taking Tuesday off and the focus was a set of $6.50 90man Turbo KO's, a regular $10 turbo on AP and a Sniper 10k Sat… Read more »
