So anyone who has followed knows that my current quest is breaking into the mid stakes universe. I have been working very dilegently on plaiyng more of the $20ish tourneys and trying to break through and hit my first score there and cement myself in this particular area of the poker world. Well once again… Read more »

Well it is the first real session of 2011 and it just so happens to be a Sunday. Started off this morning warming up a little bit with some 9man Turbo SnGs on Stars and some 90mans of FTP. Ended up breaking even on the 9mans, but managed to score a big ole W… Read more »

12:03am on the East Coast of the United States. It is 2011. 2010 has come and gone. Time to look forward. Move on. Keep growing. Always forward, never backward. It is time to stop reflecting and now it is time to launch the assault on the new year. Running bad is a thing of… Read more »

I have been guided to a whole new world. I have seen the 90 KO SnG on FT and I am happy. I started as a SnG player and I had pretty much abandoned the genre in the middle of 2010 due to extreme frustration, but to be fair it was all single table… Read more »

Hey guys, I have been trying to upload some videos on hand reading and ranges, but something is wrong and I keep getting KB's article about Christmas presents to upload instead. I'll try and figure this out, I know some people wanted to see some hand reading vids, and I play a lot of cash,… Read more »

So no playing occured last night as I am enjoying the comforts of Melville, NY (its on Long Island) on a quick emergency business trip. What did happen while I was sitting at the hotel bar having a beer and just unwinding for the evening was some time to think. I know, I am a… Read more »

I come to you this morning from my desk, more than half asleep but pretty happy. Sunday was a bit of a disaster, had huge expectations for myself and imploded a bit, so wasn't real happy about that. Decided last night that I was going to get back on the horse, focus on playing the… Read more »

Another week down and time to review and think about the prior week, hoping I have advanced my play in some aspect. This week, I am fearing advancement was not the outcome. I find it incredibly hard to deal with my own general stupidity when it comes to my play. The problem stems from being… Read more »

I thought I would take a few minutes to throw out some writing while I am watching the end of Mini FTOPs #32. Right now xxsosickxx is bossing the hell out of the tournament and it is awesome to see him succeed like this. I think that poker is such a lonely solo affair that… Read more »

One day you wake up and the game has passed you by. Suddenly you're getting 3-bet after every open and you feel lost. You fold and they laugh. You shove and they have it. When you try to play their game they ram a 4-bet shove down your throat. A few years ago you were… Read more »

Well Event #13 has come and gone and as with September I ran deep again. Not quite as far as the last time, but I can't say that I was unhappy with my play at all. Finishing 220th out of 16k+ runners is a huge accomplishment and to the TPE nation alive on the rail,… Read more »

Well I guess it happens to everybody. I pride myself on my ability to take the beats and walk away. I have been crushed by all sorts of obscure hands and have been coolered more times than I care to remember, but for some reason today was different. I was running in the Mini-FTOPs Event… Read more »
