Shuffle up and deal

[Digital Fishwrap] Sorry I haven't posted in a couple of days. I was up in Portland housesitting for a family member. Well, to be honest, that isn't the only thing that's been consuming my time. I've got a new addiction. Yes, I'm hooked. I've taken up gambling online. Playing poker. Texas Hold 'em. I've been entering tournaments on Bravo's web site. I just finished by best showing so far. Out of 1,196 entrants in that particular tournament I made it to the final 4 tables and finished 35th. Pretty fucking cool eh? OK, I'm going off to bed before the urge to sign up for another tournament hits me. I'm feeling a little guilt about the poker playing. I think I got Brat hooked too. I'm such a bad influence.

Free Poker Chips

[World Series of Poker] This kind of brings home the point from the Hellmuth article earlier about 5 cards determining the winner and not 2 I'm thinking my winning percentage with aces is somewhere around 35-40% but odds say it should be a lot higher. I'm also fairly certain that it aint' just me if ya know what I mean.

Help Your Home Game Not To Suck

[Oddjack, the Gambling Guide] It’s not for a lack of talent at the table - in fact, most of these guys are pretty solid players. It’s that they start the game at 9PM on a weeknight, and want to be wrapping it up within a half an hour of midnight.

Great bonus at holdempoker

[Bad beats and good vibes] In the light of the recent Party skins schism, the big question has been who will step in and take advantage. And while party offers paltry player points bonuses (play a million hands a day, get a small bonus at the end of the month), and Empire expects players to earn large bonuses in very short spaces of time (play 6000 hands in a week), the best current bonus I see is Holdem Poker’s.

Can bad players be beat?

[The Poker Blog] No one wants to hear you complain about your worst bad beat - we’ve all taken one that is just as bad, if not worse. I’ve seen people river straight flushes against quads, I’ve seen people hit one outers, I’ve seen people river the only four left in the deck to make quads - and those are all good players.

Sam Farha - Dominating the Table

[ Bill’s Poker Blog] I made the comment that I don’t blame Hudson for going broke, and Bill quickly disagreed. I do agree with Bill that the turn bet by Hudson was extremely disgusting, but I think that if you’re inexperienced in tournament poker and you flop a full house, there’s a very good chance your chips will be in the middle at some point.

Moving up in limits

[The Poker Blog] When someone calls all his chips with low pair vs your AK it’s a bad feeling, but I still won 50.0% so far, so I’m in the black for my first two $20 SNGs, hopefully the next 48 go just as well!

Back to limit

[2 Hole Cards Foldem More Than You Holdem] Back to limit Posted by Isaac on October 5th, 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 luck at limit hold ”˜em again, playing mostly 1/2 tables. It’s worked pretty well so far, as I’ve won money each time I’ve sat down so far. Even if I play for 10 minutes between classes, I usually win $5-10, which is nice. So far I’m up about $120 in the past 3-4 days, and only played a total of about three hours. I also played a $50+5 this weekend and finished just inside the bubble, 8th place for $99, which was pretty damn good considering I was down to 150 chips less than an hour into the tournament, so it was quite the comeback. I made a stupid play after I was reraised preflop when I had JJ, so I called. The flop came down all rags, but pairing the...

High Variance Poker vs. Low Variance Poker

[ Bill’s Poker Blog] My speculation is that because of the higher variance and higher win rates of looser, aggressive games, many players don’t master some of these finer elements. These players move up so quickly and on a path that is so forgiving as long as they are marginally better than their opponents that when they finally get to a level that has skilled opponents, they think they can win just by tightening up their game.
