Eagerness Gets The Best Of Me

This past week was going extremely well until Friday. Somewhere in the course of the day on Thursday I decided it would be a good idea to try some new things on Friday in an attempt to improve on the volume of SNG tournaments I can play in one day. That didn’t go so well.
An [...]

End Of The Week

It’s Saturday again, and this past week went pretty good. I think I’m getting better with each attempt at the multi-table tournaments. Nothing big to speak of for yesterday, but I made it to the money in a few, but not my greatest results.

Close But No Cigar…

The last 2 days I played mostly large-field multi-table tournaments. I think I played 6 or 7 hours yesterday and just finished about 9 or 10 for today. I cashed in all the tournaments that I could actually play.

My basic plan at the moment is to grind in SNG tournaments and use the profit from those to finance entries into the larger multi-table tournaments, cashing out the winnings from the MTT’s and any extra [...]

Elements Of Poker

Elements Of Poker
Tommy Angelo
This is a poker strategy book of a different kind. You won’t find much advice on how to play any particular hand, or strategies to crush the TAGs, the LAGs and everyone in between. I think the best way to sum it up is with a line from the first few pages [...]

The Daily Grind

I keep telling myself I’m going to write something today. Then tomorrow comes, and I didn’t write anything yesterday.
I’m going to try to keep up with posting something every day or two, regarding what I’m currently doing and how it’s going. The Daily Grind.
To start, I’ll just talk about a few things that I think [...]
