Failed to capitalize on a big fish

Monday, April 7th, 2008

Was playing €5/€10 in the GCB today and was up against a pretty mediocre field with about two good players, a couple mediocre ones who knew they were supposed to pay blinds etc, and one woman who was completely clueless. I mean, CLUELESS.
I bought in for about €750 and cashed out €600. Every hand I […]


Knocked out of a tournament with back to back Aces

Friday, March 28th, 2008

I don’t feel like talking about this for too long, but I couldn’t just ignore this one on the blog as it has never ever happened to me before and I am begging to the Lord that it will never ever happen to me again in the future.
I was in the chip lead of a […]

I’ll take two kings on the flop in that spot any time. ANY TIME.


Over 1,5 Million Players on PKR

Friday, March 7th, 2008

Great news from the PKR community — they’ve crossed the 1,500,000 player milestone! For a young poker website such as PKR, that’s huge — and even though the majority of these players are playmoney players, it’s still a lot.
Anyway, I hope I can soon review the PKR website myself — right now, I believe a […]


Flush over Flush over Flush

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

I mean I pretty much dread the flush over flush situations in No Limit Hold’em – because I almost never lay them down. I’ve seen people lay down flushes, but I can count the flushes I layed down in my poker career on the fingers of one single hand. I just can’t lay down a […]

Pocket Pairs Preflop in No Limit Hold’em

Friday, November 30th, 2007

Being dealt a pocket pair can feel like a strong hand but they can lead you down a troubled road if not played correctly. The best advice is to play the top ones strongly but be prepared to let any pair go if things do not flop your way. Whilst pocket pairs have strong […]


Betting pre-flop: Weeding out the weak

Friday, November 30th, 2007

Why bet at all preflop. I mean if you can get in cheap. Sure that is better than voluntarily putting money into the pot? Yes and no. If you are holding an iffy hand like a pair of 10s at a full table the way you bet could mean the difference […]


Starting Hands in No Limit Hold’em - Position is Everything

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

Like many things in life position is a huge advantage a in Texas Hold’em. Although unlike life you generally don’t want to be front of the queue. If you are the first player to act you will have to do so without seeing what every body else is doing first.
