Wow, what a crazy few days it’s been in the poker world. Lots of great posts out there about the new legislation/laws/whatever you want to call it. I won’t even try to explain any of it here. I will give my opinion though…I think the government is making a big mistake and it sucks.

Cashed Out

Moving Up
February 11, 2006 – 12:02 pm
I usually try to keep my bankroll around $3,000 and if it gets much higher I pull some money out of Neteller for investments, bills, and whatever else. 300 big bets is the recommended bankroll for limit poker, so I’ve had the roll to play $5/10 for over a year. Scared? Most likely.
Soaring
November 15, 2005 – 12:30 pm
I also took a trip this weekend to the Soaring Eagle Casino so I could play some poker with my dear ol’ brother. I decided to take a different route, as I tried out the 6/12 game for the first time in my life. It is quite a bit different, as the players [...]
Another Runner Up
November 5, 2005 – 11:04 pm
Another 2nd place finish in a $50+$5 on Party Poker. Those are my new favorite tournaments. The buyin attracts a little better crowd of poker players and the size seems to work well for my game. This one had 530 people and paid $3975 for 2nd place! (Click the photo for a larger view)
I didn’t [...]
A rebuilding night
October 11, 2005 – 4:11 pm
Once again this weekend, I went to the casino for a few hours to play some poker and hang out with friends. Thursday night I drove over for about three hours and lost $160 very quickly, but won it all back and walked away $50 ahead, but not from poker. I played roulette [...]
Back to limit
October 5, 2005 – 2:06 pm
Lately I’ve been trying to build my bankroll back up after a horrible streak of bad beats online in the past week or two. I was playing .25/.50 no-limit hold ‘em on Full Tilt, but was getting a pretty bad run. After visiting the casino these past weekends, I decided to try my [...]
Up 10K
September 29, 2005 – 11:27 pm
No poker played tonight, but I had to post because it was one year ago today that I started playing on Party Poker. It was also the day I started to keep track of my wins/losses on a daily basis. Over the last twelve months I’m about $10,600 ahead with $5,550 coming from poker cash [...]
Bankroll Withdrawl
June 23, 2005 – 6:59 pm
I pulled $1,500 out of my bankroll today. Some will go into savings for end of the year tax purposes and some will go towards extra auto loan payments. I had no reason to keep $4,500 in the ‘roll, so might as well put it to good use.
Lost and Found
June 14, 2005 – 9:46 am
Any regular readers (are there actually any?) would now that I haven’t posted much over the last month and a half. I started to feel as if I was lost when I played poker. Limit was becoming too much of a grind and it was getting extremely boring. I was still playing, just not having [...]
Bonus Stars
June 14, 2005 – 8:22 am
Throughout the week Poker Stars is giving double FPP during from 3-4 and 10-11 each night. Just a week or two ago, I received a $120 deposit bonus and figured this would be a perfect time to work it off. I played 5 tables for an hour last night, ranging from $2/4 down to $0.50/1. [...]
Where Now?
April 28, 2005 – 9:04 am
I’ve been playing poker just about every night, but haven’t felt like writing about it. I’ve pretty much hit that point where I can play $2/4 limit hold’em on auto-pilot, so there really isn’t anything to make for good reading.
Early in the week I started to clear my bonus ($425) on UB. I was winning, [...]

April 23, 2005 – 1:02 am
Party Poker is running their monthly reload until midnight on the 27th with bonus code BONUSAPR. Get 20% up to a maximum of $100.
From Tilt to Party
April 21, 2005 – 1:28 pm
Throughout this post I’ll be making a lot of sarcastic comments regarding online poker being rigged. This is due to the recent comments I’ve received on the post I just linked to. For the record I do not think online poker is rigged in any way, shape, or form.
After finishing off the Poker Stars bonus [...]
Another UB Bonus
April 17, 2005 – 7:39 pm
Ultimate Bet is having another reload bonus. It’s a 50% bonus up to $100. I was quite suprised to see this one since the last reload bonus was less than a week ago. I now have $425 in bonus funds sitting at UB!
Poker Stars: A Hate/Love Relationship
April 16, 2005 – 10:16 am
After clearing the Empire bonus last weekend I decided to make Poker Stars the next stop on my bonus whoring tour. I’d need 600 FPP to clear the $120 bonus.
On Monday night I fired up Poker Stars and went looking for $0.50/1 tables. The first thing I noticed was there weren’t many full tables to [...]
MultiPoker Bonus
April 4, 2005 – 1:42 pm
I signed up for MultiPoker about a week ago and I’ve already been given a reload bonus. 100% up to $100 through April 10th with bonus code APR05RELOAD. Great bonus even though they require 20 raked hands for every bonus dollar. At least they give 20 days to play the hands.
Fold'em Cowboys
April 2, 2005 – 8:41 pm
Today I folded KK pre-flop without anyone raising before me. Doh! I was playing 4 tables at the time and hit the fold button on the wrong table. When the flop came JJK I felt sick because one other player was betting his Jack. I’ve been 4-tabling for a few months and haven’t made any [...]
Bonus Clearance & Bankroll Buildance
March 24, 2005 – 7:02 pm
Just a quick post for an update of the last two days.
In addition to hitting royal flush #6 on Tuesday I was able to clear about 400 more raked hands for the Party Poker bonus. In the process I also took down a profit of $20. Nothing spectacular, but always better than a losing day.
Last [...]
I Lost Over 50,000 Hands in One Day
March 4, 2005 – 9:38 pm
I just lost over 50,000 hands of poker. I’m in the process of rebuilding my computer tonight and just realized that I forgot to backup the data from Poker Tracker. FUCK! I’ve lost all of the hand histories and accompanying stats for the past 5 months. FUCK!
I guess it’s a fresh start. A fresh start [...]
Review: Killer Poker Online
February 27, 2005 – 10:32 pm
I’ve read some columns by John Vorhaus online and enjoyed what I read. His book, Killer Poker Online: Crushing the Internet Game, is a completely different story. The book is a waste of time and money. I’m glad a friend bought the book for me or I would have been very disappointed in the read.
I [...]
