Withdrawing funds from a Full Tilt Poker affiliate account is a pain in the ass! I can’t even get the site to keep my logged in long enough to request the withdrawal. Once I can get it to go through the funds are transferred to my poker account. Then I need to log into the [...]

Poker Stars Affiliate
December 5, 2007 – 2:21 pm
I just fired up Poker Stars for the hell of it. Went to the Cashier and I had $600 from affiliate payments sitting in my account. Talk about a great surprise! Merry Christmas to me!
What Happened to Poker Chip Tricks?
May 7, 2007 – 5:00 pm
I sold the Poker Chip Tricks site nearly 10 months ago. The only activity at the site since the changes in ownership have been different advertising and one a offering free poker chips when signing up through Poker Source Online. I wonder if the US online gambling changes affected what was planned for the future [...]
Poker Buzz Faded
May 4, 2007 – 12:16 pm
What happened to all of the poker buzz in the United States? Two or three years ago you couldn’t go anywhere without hearing a conversation about poker. Now it rarely happens. I believe the legislation that put a lock down on online poker really hurt the poker industry in the US. I know I haven’t [...]
What Is Poker?
March 31, 2007 – 9:15 am
Where have I been you ask? Shit…who am I asking? Does anyone even visit this “poker” blog anymore? I haven’t written here in 5 or 6 months. I’ve played poker barely more than that. In mid-January on a flight back from San Francisco, I had a night long layover in Las Vegas. Hit up the [...]
Cashed Out
October 4, 2006 – 2:57 pm
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. I’ve [...]

June 1, 2006 – 8:30 am
I have registered to play in the PokerStars World Blogger Championship of Online Poker! This Online Poker Tournament is a No Limit Texas Holdem event exclusive to Bloggers. Registration code: 5468872
Heads Up SNGs
May 17, 2006 – 10:16 am
I still haven’t been playing much poker, but wanted to write something, so here you have it. Once a week or so I get the urge to play for a quick hour or so and my game of choice has been heads up sit ‘n go tournaments on Noble Poker. I like the blind levels [...]
Party Bonus #2
March 16, 2006 – 8:40 am
I 8-tabled the $1/2 tables at Party Poker again last night for almost 2 hours after work and then another hour or so before bed. I was able to clear over 1,700 raked hands to make the 1,500 I needed for the 2nd of their 3 bonus offers. I’ve yet to see the free $100 [...]
Grinding
March 15, 2006 – 11:48 am
Once again I’ve gone back to grinding the low limit games at Party. A couple of times in the last week I’ve hit up the $1/2 tables, running 8 at a time. Gotta love the dual monitor setup! This is my favorite way to whip through one of their bonuses, but it also helps to [...]
Slowing Down
February 21, 2006 – 12:24 pm
Thursday night I went to a sleep clinic to try and figure out my sleeping problems so Friday was going to be a sick day until a storm hit and SVSU closed for the day anyways. After getting home around 6:30am I decided to play some poker for a few hours. Big mistake! I went [...]
Nickels and Dimes
February 16, 2006 – 1:20 pm
I’m still playing the $5/10 limit games on Party Poker. I haven’t played more than two tables at a time yet, but might try 3 or 4 soon. I’m feeling more and more comfortable with the stakes of play. The biggest differences from the lower limit games are there are more opportunities to steal and [...]
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.
Super Bowl Weekend
February 7, 2006 – 1:11 pm
I played a little poker over the weekend. I also played a little poker about as bad as I could. Before the Super Bowl we ran a couple of mini $5 tournaments. In the first tournament I was the first one out of 4 people. It only took two hands. The second time around I [...]
Where To?
February 2, 2006 – 10:08 am
The lack of postings here have been a result of a lack of poker play as well as taking a break from blogging. I have played some poker in the last month or so though. On New Year’s Eve I played in St. Ignace, MI. They run $2/5 no-limit with a maximum buy-in of $100. [...]
Warming Up Slowly
December 16, 2005 – 12:19 pm
I’ve actually played some poker since the last post. It was last weekend and felt good to be back at the online tables. I played for about 3 hours on Saturday and 3 hours on Sunday, both after waking up. Recently Party Poker has sent me a message about my Party Points expiring. If I [...]
No Time for Poker
December 1, 2005 – 9:06 am
I still haven’t been playing any poker lately. In fact, I haven’t played at all since my Xbox 360 arrived. Yes, it’s that great of a video game console! I’m hoping this nice little break will renew my focus and I can get back to beating the limit games. I’ve had some recent success with [...]
Live Again
November 13, 2005 – 1:34 pm
I didn’t play much poker in the last week. Only one session on Party Poker for a few hours and a $1.50 loss. Yesterday I headed over to the Soaring Eagle Casino in Mt. Pleasant for some live action. I walked into the poker room at about 11:15 and was seated at a $3/6 table [...]
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 [...]
Triple Take
November 3, 2005 – 5:03 pm
Seven and a half months after hitting three royal flushes in 2 days and I finally received the hats from Party Poker. So much for 6-8 weeks!
