So I jumped back into the poker pond last weekend.
PokerStars is having an interesting promotion for the World Series of Poker. You can win a seat to the Main Event ($10,000 Buy in) plus $2,500 spending money, and hotel accomodations during the event, for as little as $7.50, or even free by using 500 FPP’s […]

Sorry for the lack of posts the past few weeks.
Sometimes you need to step away from the game and take a break, and that’s what I’ve been doing. I’m using this time to clear my head, do a little reading, and come back to the game with a fresh start in another few weeks.
Until then […]

I wasn’t able to play too much poker this weekend, but I did play a bit last night, and once again came tantelizingly close to the Big Enchilada.
I played in a $33 buy-in event, 198 players.
I was almost knocked out in the first 10 mins when some bozo sucked out on me with pocket 8’s. […]

Another tough session in Sit-N-Go Hell on Poker Stars tonight.
After all was said and done, I ended up down $66.15 for the night.
I took a few 3rds, and a 1st in the single table $6.50 Turbo Sit-N-Go’s, and didn’t finish in the money in a few 3 and 5 table Sit-N-Gos.
It was the same old story, […]

What a strange evening.
For the first time ever, Pokerstars crashed on me while I was playing online.
I had (3) single table Sit-N-Gos, and a 45 player tourmanet going at once, when BLAMO… frozen tables… no connection.
I tried for 30 mins to reconnect, I couldn’t even log onto the Pokerstars website from either of my two machines. […]

A quick update on the $300 challenge.
The evening started out well enough, I did very well in the $6.50 turbo Sit-N-Gos, taking two 1sts, two 2nds, and a 3rd out of 8 tournaments.
But then I pressed my luck, in the search for the Big Enchilada again.
I entered the $109 Buy-In event, 500 players this time, […]

So I jumped back into the poker pond this weekend and resumed the $300 challenge.
However I really wasn’t in the mood to grind it out playing dozens of tiny turbo sit-n-gos. I know that’s the mission of the $300 challenge, to try to have long term gains based on positive ROI, however I believe if […]

Well on my 2nd night, the $300 challenge almost came to a screeching halt.
I started on the $6.50 single table Sit-N-Go’s, as planned, and after a few hours was only able to get a few 3rd places and I think one 2nd. I took a break, and then played some more, and then… it happened.
The […]

I started the $300 challenge last night, and I didn’t do all that badly.
I only had time to play for an hour or so, so I played in 5 Turbo $6.50 Sit-N-Go’s on Poker Stars. I finished 1st, 2nd, 2nd, 4th, and 7th, cashing three times for a grand total of +$26.90 for the night.
I’m […]
