So I had another disappointing tournament today… at least this one didn’t take 13 hours to realize that I wasn’t going to win something. We each started with $6,000 in chips. After blinding and calling down to about $5500 I was able to double up. I had AKo in early-middle position and was at a [...]
It didn’t take long before 25% of the field was knocked out. I had an below average chip stack of about 3150 and a very weak table of players. My only showdown hand was my last one. I was under the gun and told myself that if I had anything in the top 10% that [...]

I was playing extremely well, surviving two cold decks during the tournament, one time having pocket Kings vs. pocket Aces and another having a flopped [...]
I haven’t been presented with a good game in awhile. In fact, I haven’t been near a game where I didn’t know at least three or four of the players sitting at the table. How is it so hard to get a bunch of tourists who just want to try their luck at poker sitting [...]
If you’re gonna do damage playing poker, you gotta do it right. I’m talking $10,000 to $20,000 a day if at all possible. Today I almost broke that record, but it was for the downside. I started off the day by waking up in my condo at about 11:45 am and getting to the tournament [...]
