Its getting tougher

You bet your life that online poker is getting tougher, I recently viewed a statistic that said that only 9% were making it pay over the long term whatever “long term” means.
But I have spoken to a few people recently who even doubt the validity of that figure and think that it is nearer 5% [...]

Forum fondness

I must take this opportunity to comment on the overall effectiveness of joining a very good poker forum when it comes to improving your game. I joined the Hendon Mob forum in early Feb this year and it has improved my game quite a bit.
There are some very knowledgable people on that site and it [...]

Back to basics

Well it is never too late to go over old ground and I am certainly no egotist when it comes to admitting that I have made a right hash of things. Lately my discipline has been an absolute crock of dung and I have been busting a gut over the last 96 hours trying to find [...]

Is it ever really under control

Well, I just feel that I have to tell all what happened today and it aint good. I have lost big chunks before and I have tilted before but I have never started a session on tilt and tilted all the way through it.
Without going into finer details, I have been having a few family [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
