The Importance of taking notes on other Players…

May 25th, 2008

I’ve pretty much always taken notes on players, but I really kicked it up a notch after reading John Vorhaus’s book “Killer Poker Online”.  He explains how important it is to take VERY DETAILED notes on ALL the people you play against.  Read the rest of this entry »

At Last…

May 22nd, 2008

I have finally won my first large field MTT.  As I wrote in a previous post I was really beginning to wonder if this day would ever come.  The tourney was a $2 +.20 BOUNTY Tounament on CakePoker where $1 goes towards the prize pool and $1 goes towards each player’s BOUNTY.

Will it ever happen????

May 9th, 2008

I’m starting to wonder if I’ll ever win a Multi-Table tournament with more then 20 or 30 people in it.  I started out this month with a new strategy; play in enough cash games to enable me to play in a MTT with a decent prize pool every couple of days or so.  Read the rest of this entry »

In the Beginning…

April 10th, 2008

OK, so I am embarking on a new era in my life where I am actually writing a Blog.  Being a techie by trade, I’m quite familiar with them of course; it’s just that I never thought I’d ever sit down and start one. 

I remember - oh, about 7 or 8 years ago one of my bosses approached me and said, “What is a Blog”.  My reply to him was, “It’s the new fad that all the kids are doing.  Mostly sharing things that they shouldn’t share online to complete strangers”.  He said, “You don’t have one?”.  I said, “Hell no, nobody wants to read anything I would write”.

Well, I think I still feel that way, however, I’m hoping that maybe, just maybe, someone will read some of my Blog and it will inpire them start to learn how to play better poker.  I could write my Blog about my personal life, and although little bits and pieces may bleed into it, my goal is to keep this to the topic of Poker and my trial and tribulations in trying to become a better poker player.
