Sorry for the delay between posts, but I figured I would accumulate some tourneys so that I had something to talk about given that I only get in 2 a day. So first the good news. My PLO game is getting much better. I am now consistently running deeper, however the play in the tourneys… Read more »

Just thought I would write a short (brag) story about my recent cash game success and how my tourney play has helped it. Before about 10 months ago when I decided to get semi serious with my poker, I would jump around a lot in the games I played – I would play… Read more »

Okay so I thought I would update you a little on the challenge. I decided to download Cake and try it on there as well as Carbon (Merge Network). Well after a frustrating series of attempts it seems my PC is convinced Cake is a virus and keeps deleting it, so no dice there. That's… Read more »

As with many of my fellow US players I have been searching for possible options and alternatives to fill the vacuum that has appeared since last week. As I have said in some of the forum threads and discussions I think that the DOJ is pretty smart and are watching where the money moves in… Read more »

Well Black Friday has come and gone and many of hours of reflection later it is time to figure out how to go forward. I spent a lot of time relaxing and getting back to doing other things this weekend that I haven't done in a while and it was nice. I am glad that… Read more »

It is pretty hard to have missed the goings on Friday in the online poker world. Everyone who plays online poker has been effected by the elimination of the US marketplace from the "real money" online poker community. I read one site that showed that Pokerstars was cutting GTD's all over the place. I took… Read more »

Black Friday has come and gone and today was the first day waking up knowing that I could not fire up tournaments on my favorite poker sites. I leave for a cruise on Monday, so I am taking that opportunity to relax, reflect and clear my mind before returning home and deciding my next steps…. Read more »

For all of you out there who enjoy mixed games or want to diversify your learnings beyond NLHE I am sure this is incredibly welcome news. I can tell you… Read more »

I was reading Hagbard's latest article this morning and I had to chuckle to myself a little. He described something that happened on Sunday to him that I hit last night and I think that our responses to it were similiar and something warrenting repeated sharing. So last night I sat down to log another… Read more »

So I was watching some vids last night (sorry more cash vids this time, but the discussion will apply) and had a serious moment of clarity that I didn't really appreciate until I started looking though my HEM DB and looking at some of my results and then making an adjustment and taking it for… Read more »

Hello TPE nation, Some of you may know that I have recently been made a mod of the member video section, so I thought I would try and kick this off by recording a short tutorial on how to make your own poker video. This is by no means a comprehensive guide, but I hope it… Read more »

I was off this weekend from playing because I had to work which wasn't so bad, as I got a lot of time to spend watching vids and doing some learning and thinking. For better or worse I came to a couple of conclusions while I was thinking this weekend that is leading me to refocus… Read more »

So I was reading Ttwist's article entitled "ABC Will Leave you S.O.L" and I haven't made up my mind if this is merely a response (i.e. further elaboration on my thoughts on the subject) or a rebuttle to what he put forward idea wise in the article. If you haven't read it, I suggest going… Read more »

So it has been a few days since I was last writing, actually probably closer to a week so I thought I would fill everyone in on the goings on. I skipped the vast majority of Double GTD week over on FTP. I think I actually only played one day and it was 4 tourneys… Read more »

So now that I'm back on the grind at AP/UB (my former home), I've decided to spice it up a little bit. Approximately 5-6 years ago when I was only playing on AP, I used to win the leaderboard quite often. If I didn't win it, I was always close. I want to give it… Read more »

Hey guys! I just finished up playing the second ever "bigdogpckt5s invitational". I made a much better effort at winning my own tourney this week as I finished in 5th place. I really thought I was going to stone-cold bubble the tourney because I was really short being 19 of 19 in chips and 18 people made… Read more »

The Click-Back and Why it Shouldn't be Used by: LPG I have been involved in a rolling discussion in the forums with a couple of players and it has centered around the use of a click back with a marginal hand. I thought that what would make sense here is to go through and lay… Read more »

So the new Sunday Storm arrived with a bang yesterday and like all good value hounds the Gman was out and about skulking around the tables looking for his piece of the pie. I'll say now that the 210k for first would have been a pretty sweet slice to grab, but that was not to… Read more »

Not sure if anyone cares, but I will throw it out there anyway. If you are interested in following me on Twitter look me up at @lespaulgmanTPE. I like to kick updates while I am playing at breaks for big stuff, so if you are interested, want to bounce some strategy back and forth or… Read more »

Well once again I drank from the fountain of poker misery. A host of tournaments played yesterday and a couple of min cashes and 2 deep runs all met with lost 60/40's. The upside is I know my game is solid. I am getting my money in good, just can't hold. Won a couple of step… Read more »

Well last night was a good session with Wein. Things are looking really strong and solid in my game which is making me really happy. Got a healthy dose of run bad last night which made a bunch of the tourneys a bit stressful and tilty (which I need to work on a bit), but… Read more »

Happy Monday TPE, I hope that the weekend treated everyone well. Had an up and down go at things for the weekend on my end. I had another top 60 run in the 35k on FTP friday night, a 29th in the Turbo 3k on FTP yesterday and a 49th in a 2r on AP… Read more »

2011 has been a great year for me. I've regularly been chopping out nice wins for myself and my backer for the entire year. However, long upswings can also lead to what I think can be an unhealthy feeling of comfort. When you are winning, it's easy to stop focusing on improving your game. It… Read more »
