Better late than never, right? ;)

Work is a little more stressful than normal but otherwise I guess I can't really complain. I stopped playing online in 2016 because the games were just so bad...

Right on cue, the 3rd quarter bites me in the ass. I had back to back losing months. Last month (September) was on track to be a record setter. I peaked at $6k but the last two days I played I lost...

The 2nd quarter and half the year is in the books. I've been able to stay in the green every month and want to try to continue that trend as long as possible in the 2nd half of the year. ...

Although it wasn't exactly how I envisioned it would transpire, I had my first somewhat earned session of official midstakes action last night. Using PTR, I did reconnaissance on all the Merge...

It took a lot longer than I expected and maybe should, but the third time was a charm and I finally beat $200NL. One night a few weeks ago I actually passed the 30buyin or $6k profits point during a...

Sorry I haven't posted sooner. I've been super busy but I have been playing poker and the downswing from Hell last Fall that wiped out almost half my profits for last year seems to be gone for the...

I've demonstrated a lot of bad results HU/SH, so my thinking could be flawed, but he seemed like the type of villain who would for sure stack off with JJ, QQ, and any Tx hand. On the flop, I check...

Passed the 20 buyin EV discrepancy threshold tonight sitting @ 22 difference when my AA loses to KK allin preflop (not to mention a different hand my KK runs into an AA but of course that villain...

I was sticking to my "don't play HU strategy" pretty well until the full ring table broke down and I had a fish HU with a 6ptr rating and the stats and play to back it up. These two hands are a...

One more thing: I lost this hand at my last home game but still managed a healthy profit by the end of the night. It was ~$130 pot (I probably contributed $50 or so). I was very lucky she wasn't...

2014 Started with a bang but ended with a fizzle.

Total: $6,531.42
Year ---> Month ---> Cashout
2014 ---> 1 ---> $518.59
2014 ---> 2 ---> $2,053.53
2014 ---> 3 ---> $2,637.87
2014 ---> 4...

Thanks so much. It has been so uplifting to see the influx of donations. She even made the news on two local stations. We just hope that she can manage her health enough to make the trip. We are...

I don't go off-topic often but I wanted to for something special. My wife's good friend who is only 19 years old has cancer (estimated weeks left to live). She and her 4 year old daughter have been...

Posting my $10k milestone may have acted as a doom switch :mad:. Immediately after that, I had a decent downswing. There's been some bad luck, some bad play, and I haven't been able to put in the...

Thanks. I haven't done a good job keeping track of my Bovada hands and, frankly, with anonymous tables, I'm not sure what good they would do me other than knowing how much volume I played. At any...

Yesterday, the first day of the month I've played poker, I reached a couple of memorable poker milestones in my world. With basically 7 months of poker left to play, 2014 (assuming I don't lose it...

I'm generally not a fan of 4bet shoving unless there's a particular situation where I think it's beneficial such as:
- It's against a particularly low 3bet villain who I can put on KK/QQ exclusively...

Grrr ... heads up can be so frustrating sometimes. First hand was like one of the first hands against a villain that session who normally plays pretty tight when the table is full. Second hand is...

Regarding Bovada, I do already have the HI software and may get the hand convertor at some point in the future likely after I get HEM2 working.

After just 10 days, I was on pace to shatter my...

Thanks. Yes, I'm definitely going to play a mix of 100NL and 200NL so I can get volume. I'm usually playing 4 tables on Merge 100NL/200NL and 4 on Bovada 50NL all full ring. My bankroll is high...

This time I'm on time with my posting. For the third time, I've "beat" $100NL winning 30 buy-ins. This time on Merge over 36k hands winning at 8.31bb/100. Despite playing probably a million hands in...

Although I wanted to avoid it, I finally did break down and put some money on Bovada. The main reason for this is that Merge has been randomly removing players from the 15% VIP program AND capping...

First quarter of the year is in the books. I banked $5,209.99 which I'm damn happy with in this post apocalyptic black Friday poker world we live in. I never thought I'd get near this close to where...

Three days of $1/$3 and I made $11. Better than losing $11. Heh. But, I'm planning another WSOP stop in April.

I am a little late again in posting this but I started $50NL on 1/16/2014 and made approximately 30 buy-ins or $1500 by 02/23/2014 after playing 31k hands winning @ 9.51bb per 100 hands. I started...
