Tonight I’m off to St. Ignace for some casino poker. I can’t wait. I haven’t played there in at least 6 months, so it’s long overdue. My limit game has improved dramatically since then. I’m out to have fun, but plan to take some cash in the process. From my experience there, the level of [...]

Rogers City Poker Series
December 31, 2004 – 1:32 pm
On Monday and Tuesday, the Rogers City Poker Series (or that’s what I’m calling it at least) was held at my house. My brother Isaac and his buddies came up with a plan for 4 tournaments. Each player, of which we had 9, bought in for a total of $50. The top three places [...]
Big Hands Win
December 31, 2004 – 2:00 am
Over my last 10,000 hands, the cards with the highest winning percentage are AdAs, KcKh, QcQs, AsKs, and AhKd. In that exact order too. It’s reassuring to know that the best hand wins the majority of the time, even online.
Bill Me
December 29, 2004 – 2:42 pm
My electric and gas bill for last month is over $170! I haven’t even been home in a week. Outrageous!
The Poker Gods Wish Me a Happy Birthday
December 26, 2004 – 3:07 pm
The poker gods must know it’s my birthday. The big 25!
I played two $2/4 tables this morning and won 48 BB in 99 hands at one table and finished less than a BB ahead at the other. Not a bad way to spend an hour and a half.
My brother gave me 4 suited show glasses [...]
Just Another Day
December 26, 2004 – 12:20 pm
To me, a birthday is just another day in the year. Nothing all that special, except that you are officially a year older now. Today I’ve hit the quarter century mark (for the slow thinkers out there that means 25 years). Man, I’m getting old! At least my car insurance will go down and I [...]
Merry Christmas
December 24, 2004 – 11:01 pm
Merry Christmas to all the poker players out there. We just finished opening our presents and I got a few poker related goodies. The two books I was given are Hold’Em Poker for Advanced Players and Winning Low-Limit Hold’em. My best gift of the year though is a kick ass card protector from my brother. [...]
Which Is It?
December 24, 2004 – 1:52 pm
I just received a package from UPS. It’s in a FedEx envelope, which says “For FedEx Express shipments only.”
Winds of Change
December 23, 2004 – 11:52 am
Poker was fun last night. I had bout 30 minutes to blow before going to play basketball so I fired up Party Poker and sat down at a $2/4 bad beat jackpot table. I wasn’t getting any playable cards, but I sure was getting good at clicking the FOLD button. For the second time this [...]
Holiday Vacation
December 23, 2004 – 1:29 am
Did I mention that I’m on paid holiday vacation until January 3rd? I’ve been waiting for this break for a looong time.
Big Bankroll
December 23, 2004 – 12:23 am
Somebody just sat down at my $2/4 table with over $4,400! Is this supposed to be intimidating?
Why Pay More?
December 22, 2004 – 11:06 am
I just canceled the insurance on my cell phone. I’ve been paying an extra $5 a month. How stupid! That’s almost as much as I pay for my renter’s insurance, which covers me for $20,000!
More Gmail Invites
December 22, 2004 – 10:52 am
Looks like Gmail is giving out invites again. I have a few to spare…
Christmas Wishes
December 22, 2004 – 10:24 am
What’s on your Christmas list this year related to poker? I really hope I get Zen and the Art of Poker: Timeless Secrets to Transform Your Game. I’m doing well at handling all of the bad beats, simply because I’ve come to expect them, but I think this book would really help out the mental [...]
Little Light Bulbs In My Head
December 22, 2004 – 10:09 am
I always get some great little ideas about something I could make a short post about on the site, but then forget by the time I get back to a computer. It’s times like those that I wish I paid for Internet access on my phone. I wonder if I could use the text messaging [...]
White Stuff
December 22, 2004 – 10:05 am
The forecast says up to 8 inches of snow by tomorrow afternoon. Just what I need before I travel up north for the holidays.
It Never Ends
December 21, 2004 – 11:52 pm
When will the bad beats end? Seriously!?
Big slick ends up splitting a pot with A3o after the board pairs on the turn and the river, giving us the same full house.
Big slick, which paired the A, loses to a gutshot straight draw on the river.
Pocket tens loses to a guy raising me like crazy with [...]
Mission Accomplished
December 21, 2004 – 10:53 pm
My Christmas shopping is done and in record time this year. Just goes to show that prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance!
New Streak
December 21, 2004 – 2:54 pm
Two winning days in a row. I can’t remember the last time that happened.
