Nothing Goes Right Until The Last Hand

This session I was back to a nine-handed $0.01/$0.02 NLHE table.  For the immediate future unless I say otherwise that is exactly the type of table I’m at.  I played three hands that almost played... continued

A Super Fast Uneventful Session

Another six-handed max $0.01/$0.02 table for me.  I lost my internet connection and only played four hands.  I lost the whole 17 cents on the second hand.  I raised to $0.08 from the cutoff with Jh9c. ... continued

A Quick Rebound From Cracked Aces

I bought in for $1 to a six-handed max $0.01/$0.02 NLHE table.  I figured that I had been playing fairly fast and loose so far and a short-handed table was a perfect spot for this sort of play.  It... continued

No Rebuys

I played my first non-cash game since the initial Sit & Go.  It was a $1 rebuy tournament with a guaranteed prize pool of $10,000.  Before starting I decided I wouldn’t make a rebuy when I busted. ... continued

Breaking Even

I had steadily climbed from my $1.00 to $1.51 with no real notable hands until I got crazy and took a total plunge.  I picked up 3h5h in the small blind.  The cutoff + 1 limped in and I decided to raise. ... continued

Just One Of Those Things

Getting Lucky

In the short term, luck is a very significant factor in poker.  In any given session or tournament it is probably better to be lucky than play well.  Yet in the long term, only the most skilled players... continued

Three Hands

Many sessions, winners and losers alike, come down to only a few significant hands.  This was one of those times.  In one hand I made a bad move that paid off.  In the other two, I benefited from others... continued

Totally Uneventful

I played for an hour in my standard $0.01/$0.02 NLHE game which I bought into for $1.00.  There is not much to report.  I didn’t win or lose a significant pot and finished the session up a whopping ... continued

Drunk Clicking

I had the night off and had been out and had some beers.  I was not completely messed up, but I was certainly above the legal limit.  One fundamental difference between playing online and live is that... continued

A Quick Session Before Work

This was a very fast session.  I played for less than 15 minutes.  I was leaving for work soon, but figured I would play for half an hour or so.  I was offered a ride to work by sister-in-law and since... continued

Second Max Session

I must admit that at these micro levels I am playing faster and looser than is my norm.  I just sat down to play another $0.01/$0.02 NLHE cash game.  I bought in for $1.00 and quickly figured out that... continued
