Shorty Advice
January 31, 2005 – 10:07 am
John Vorhaus has a great little primer on how to play the shorhanded tables. I don’t completely agree with everything he recommends, but I’ve already been doing the majority of it and it really does work.
ATMs at Every Corner
January 30, 2005 – 8:31 pm
One of the greatest things about playing online poker is that there are plenty of ATMs to go around. Every once in awhile they’ll take your money, but if you keep swiping your cards they’ll give you money.
I played a few hours on UB again today and added another 50 BB to the bankroll. I’m [...]
I Never Forget
January 30, 2005 – 8:00 pm
This morning I woke up and jumped out of bed. I ran over to check the calendar on the wall. Sure enough, today is January 30th. I forgot to call my sister on her 23rd birthday! FUCK! It was still before 10 a.m. and I knew she wouldn’t be awake yet because she had told [...]
I'm Back
January 29, 2005 – 7:02 pm
Help me give a big warm welcome back to my poker game. I had lost it for almost two months and yesterday I finally found it. I’m back in the ring!
I’ve written before that it’s been a struggle over the past two months. If it wasn’t for deposit bonuses, I would have been done quite [...]
Blogworthy
January 29, 2005 – 6:09 pm
As you may have noticed, I haven’t been on a regular blogging schedule here on MtDewVirus. I didn’t feel all that great a few days this week and ended up taking 1.5 sick days. That doesn’t really have anything to do with my lack of blogging though. I’m not quite sure what it is. I [...]
Review: Internet Texas Hold'em
January 29, 2005 – 5:33 pm
A little over a month ago, Ammon from ITH offered me a free copy of Matthew Hilger’s book Internet Texas Hold’em: Winning Strategies from an Internet Pro in exchange for writing a review on my site. Since I always review the books I read and had wanted the book, I quickly took him up on [...]
XM MyFi
January 24, 2005 – 11:05 pm
I’ve been wanting an XM Radio for some time now and after seeing this little gadget at the car show, I decided to pick one up today from Best Buy. I haven’t had a whole lot of time to play around with it, but from what I’ve seen, it’s a great unit. The highlight for [...]
Pistons, Engines, Tires, And A Pink Shirt
January 24, 2005 – 10:39 pm
I received a call from my buddy Jeff on Friday night asking if I’d be interested in a couple of Pistons tickets for Saturday night’s game. Jeff’s friend is a season ticket holder and couldn’t get rid of his seats for the game against the Bulls. I had plans to head down to Detroit on [...]
Tiger Woods Is Back
January 24, 2005 – 10:00 pm
Tiger Woods is back! He may not be in the form he once was, but his game is coming around quite nicely. Everyone remembers him for his bombing drives, but the flat blade is the club that usually wins tournaments as Tiger proved this past weekend.
Stacked for Xbox

Change of Plans
January 22, 2005 – 10:15 am
I might not get any poker in until Sunday or Monday night now. Heading to Detroit for the Pistons game tonight and then to the Detroit Auto show on Sunday. In addition, I still have about 1/3 of ITH left to read.
Go Daddy's Super Bowl Story
January 21, 2005 – 10:08 pm
One of the leaders in domain sales, Go Daddy, will air a 30 second commercial during the Super Bowl at the cost of $2.4 million. Recently Go Daddy’s CEO blogged about it.
No Play
January 21, 2005 – 1:06 pm
Just a quick post to say that I haven’t played online in a week now as I had planned. I’ve really got the itch, but I’m going to stick to my plan. I’m about 1/3 of the way through reading Internet Texas Hold’em and I think I should be able to finish if I spend [...]
Party Poker Cracked
January 21, 2005 – 12:54 pm
I just read an interesting thread over at Full Contact Poker. It’s about Party Poker Cracked.
…I will not call a raise, or place a bet more than $5 preflop with AA, KK, or QQ! If I bet $2 and it goes to $10 I am usually going to lay that hand down (fold). I almost [...]
