Just to clear things up

After reading through my last blog to you, I became aware of something that could potentially be misleading to many people and that was how I played the hand in the 25-50 game.
 It may seem strange how I overbet the pot and moved in when I badly wanted a call. This is difficult to explain in [...]

Defending the blind in NL

Well my blogs from here on in will also include tutorial material as well as this is what many readers have asked for. They dont mind reading my diary but they also want to learn how to get a piece of the action as well.
6 max NL games are all the rage now online and [...]

What did I tell ya

Well…..what did I tell you….that I would get those fishes on the 25-50 thats what. They were paying the rent big time last night and yours truly was landlord and collecting his fair share. The bad news was that I believe one of the players has took a fair size whack in the wallet and [...]

You Gotta Know Your Limit

Hey, dont get me started on ego matters, I despatched with mine some years ago when I finally realised that I was not as good as I thought I was……and then started from scratch and rebuilt my game like a golfer rebuilds their swing and I was back like the six million dollar man……you know [...]

Going By The Book

I have lost count of the number of people who have been asking me what poker books they should be reading and feel that this would make for an interesting blog today. Bad session in the 25-50 last night but I will leave that as I am still looking to ease the pain.
 I have some strong [...]

It’s still nice to win though

It’s all one big game….one big long never ending game. We all know this right….of course we do. Yet I have always argued that the maths guru’s miss some very important points when talking about standard deviation and variance in gambling.
Many of them have not gambled or played poker in their lives and then preach [...]

When the lambs strike back

Well you can never take anything for granted can you in this game although I have played for long enough now to know that. But after my $17k win in the 25-50 the other night, I came back down to earth with a bump last night and again today.
 After getting ahead by a further $9k [...]

The $10,000 Challenge

I have been thinking very hard over the past few weeks of taking on a challenge that I have been tempted to do for quite some time. This is turning nothing into $10,000 and seeing how long it would actually take me.
An online pro friend of mine has challenged me to a £1000 bet, he [...]

My Kingdom for a Blackjack

Anyone who has been following or reading my website features will be only too aware that I was a full time blackjack player before I turned my attention to online poker. In fact “Princes of Darkness” tells the story of what happened between 1998-2002.
 But people still come to me even now for training and information [...]

Another good day at the office

Well the confidence is starting to flow back after my enforced lay off and I clocked up another winning 4 hour session last night.
 Just for the record, anyone who has read any of my articles in Poker Pro, WPT or Online Poker Pro will be aware of the fact that I do not divulge where [...]
