So I have had a couple of sessions since deciding to come back to playing and in the first I scored a ticket to the Merge 100k tomorrow. I decided to register, hey why not I have the ticket might as well use it right? With that in mind I sat down last night for… Read more »
I'm back. It is just that simple. I wobbled around the non-poker world for a while, lost my way with the game, got frustrated and come back full circle to where I started a year and change ago. I recently moved into my first house, so it had been taking up a lot of time,… Read more »
Part of your evolution in poker is watching training videos and reading strategy forums. Another part is playing hands. I think the biggest part, though, is experimenting to see what playing style you are comfortable with and what works well. As a poker player you need to be brutally honest with yourself. If you have… Read more »
There is more than one type of fish and you need to be able to categorize them pretty quickly at the poker table in order to maximize your expectation. Passive Fish – There are two types of passive fish. Type 1: The fish who doesn't fold to anything pre-flop but folds to many c-bets and… Read more »
It’s been a while since my last blog, so I figured I should give a quick recap on what I have been up to. Of course we are in the middle of WCOOP and I have played 5 or 6 events with a couple of mincashes. I made a deep run on Sunday but lost… Read more »
So as i have mentioned before, I play occasionally in this local home cash game. It's really more of an underground game I guess. I consider my home game a home game. Pass the deal, no rake etc. This game is a raked, has a dealer, and so on. it sucks that I live someplace… Read more »
It’s not quite Thanksgiving yet, but I felt like it was time to give thanks. Our goal at Tournament Poker Edge has always been to be the best MTT training site…period. We’ve tried to create a community that is friendly, helpful and educational. I’m pretty proud of what we have accomplished so far, and in… Read more »
Well, I've been back from the World Series of Poker for about a month now and I have had plenty of time to make up for lost time with the family and take care of loose ends that were left with me being gone for nearly 2 months. I've done enough laying around on the beach… Read more »
I'll probably end up doing a couple different blogs like this – the aim is to write down some things I've picked up along the way whether it's from a training video, article, or something I figured out on my own. 1. VPIP, PFR, and 3 Bet Stats can be dangerous if you don't know… Read more »
Sometimes you do it all right and it doesn't work out. That was last night. Let me start off by saying that last night wasn't all bad, actually quite the contrary, it was rather excellent. I met up with Wein and we had dinner. It was great to see him again and catch up. He… Read more »
I thought I would take a few minutes and throw out a quick little post seeing as I am going to have a poker related next couple of evenings. I have a short little business trip down to Delaware which puts me in convienent proximity to the Delaware Park Casino (and even more importantly the… Read more »
I thought I would share today something that I have been experimenting with for quite some time and believe have found a noticeable improvement because of: 1. Solid Fundamentals + Good Practice Habits + Frequent Studying + Time at the Tables = Good Poker 2. Good Poker + Excercise + Hydration + Well Balanced Meals + Sleep/Rest = Great Poker… Read more »
Okay so first things first, I was going to do this yesterday, but I am in the process of packing up to move in the next couple of weeks so I got tied up there, my apologies. But here it is, post #100! As promised since we looked back in #99, we are going to… Read more »
It is really quite hard to believe but it has been a full year since I joined TPE. I thought this would make a fitting 99th blog to go through and think back to where I was when I started and where I am now in my poker journey, setting up for a very nice… Read more »
I thought I would take a minute or two and write as it has been a few days. I have been on a bit of a tear the last few days playing tourneys which is a really nice change of pace. I did notice something really weird though, I am managing to play substantially better… Read more »
This is a bit of a rare treat as I don't usually write on the weekends, but the wife is at the gym and I'm chilling so I figured what the hell. I gave a run last night to a handful of tourneys while I was watching the WSOP on ESPN (if you haven't… Read more »
I suspect that the title isn't all that shocking to anyone. When you are confident in what you are doing and you are doing it well, you continue to feel good about doing it. Something that I have noticed particularly about my game is that when I am feeling comfortable and solid I can sit down… Read more »
Its been a little bit since I wrote so it felt like time. I think it was mostly frustration, but not really sure. The last time we talked I had just finished tossing a lot of bricks and was pretty frustrated. I have been contemplating taking a break from NLHE and really working in re-structuring… Read more »
Top 10 Things Im Looking Forward To When I Get Home In no particular order… 1. A "drive to nowhere" with Andrew. This is something I used to do on my own, but last year started doing with my son. It's where you get in the car and start driving with no destination in… Read more »
Well it was a long couple of days on the tourney circuit for me and all I have to say for my performance is I have gotten better at throwing bricks. I have bubbled or near bubbled a dozen tourneys in the last 3 days and it hurts. I forgot how badly it sucked to… Read more »
I'm jumping on a plane this afternoon to head back to Vegas. I'm really looking forward to getting back in to the house and playing some more tourneys. A bit of time at home with family has left me feeling recharged and ready to go! I have 4 Venetian tourneys on my schedule (pending day… Read more »
I apologize for the length between posts. My wife and I are in the process of buying a house so last week was filled with the inspection and a myriad of other fun things related to that process so I didn't have a ton of time to sit down and write (or play) for that… Read more »
I arrived home yesterday for a short break from the summer grind. My wife Leann welcomed me home with a fresh pot of homemade chilli and a fridge full of new IPAs that I have never tried. I'm taking my son to see "Super 8" tonight and then I'm going to do a whole lot of… Read more »
Well, to say that my summer in the TPE house for the WSOP was a failure would be a vast understatement. I went out there focused and prepared to do something epic. I did none of this. I had high hopes because in my limited live play experience I have had some pretty decent results…. Read more »
Well I returned back home on Friday and had a relatively busy weekend catching up on all of the things that I hadn't done while I was gone so I didn't get a ton of poker in this weekend. I did manage to sneak in a bit of a session last night and played some… Read more »
