Random thought
Playing live again and starting from the ground up has forced me to reconsider the way I play fundamental poker. It's forced me to re-establish a basis for sound play, playing well, playing a...

First steps
I was in Lake Charles over the first few days this week, visiting family and taking the opportunity to hit the live games some more. I put in two sessions over the last three days totaling 16 hours...

Holding Pattern
I'm not going to make it to Los Angeles. I just couldn't work out the finances. It's unfortunate, but also understandable; I work in a field where "What have you done for me lately?" is a big...

FTOPS and the LAPC
I've set the wheels in motion to sell action to some FTOPS events. I plan to play a dozen of the NL events starting this weekend. Shoot me a PM if you're interested in a piece and I'll provide you...

I just spent the last three hours reminding myself why I can't stand tournaments: I got just enough luck to bubble or min-cash everything I played. Grinding out hours doesn't mean **** if you don't...

I'm going to need a mulligan for this month
The mere fact that you are reading this post 19 days after my last one should tell you all you need to know about my failure to meet my goals as a poker player this month. I don't play enough and I...

Slow first week of 2009
I didn't get home from New Orleans until the 3rd. The only session I've played since I've been back, I lost 3 1/2 buyins. I feel I'm still playing too scared. I may need to change up routines just...

Goals for 2009
I've fallen off the map a bit this year. Part of the reason is that I wanted to spend more time at home, having settled in somewhere for the first real time as an adult (I love my home life, FYI),...

I'm still on the heads-up tip. I've been slowly picking up my hours, but it's not enough. My life is somewhat busy these days and I'm often doing other things. It's a major goal of mine now to put...

post-FTOPS and more
I only had one cash in the FTOPS, but I played a very small schedule. I finished 46th in event 19 (out of some 2200-odd). A deep run that I couldn't quite sustain until the end. Disappointing, but...

hey steady steady
the HU grind has been going okay. I've had a profitable run at it, at least, although I've also had a couple of sessions I should have quit sooner. Even so, my discipline is improving as I go. ...

Well, I haven't written in an extremely long time, and it's largely because I've been laying low, and partially because it's been a busy/crazy time outside of poker, and I haven't had much chance to...

Haven't posted in a while. Haven't played much or done anything of note. I've been throwing in short sessions of HU cash, to get my head back in the game. So far so good-- not great, but good; I...

Wow, apologies for taking so long in between posts. I thought I had written something last week.

Like an NFL team who bought a couple of expensive free agents to make a Super Bowl run and now finds themselves well over the cap, I'm in rebuilding mode.

Well, I've been home for a week now, just unwinding. Very little playing poker-- I tried for a couple days, but I still needed to decompress before I can play well.
However, I've got a few things...

Out of the main event
Not very interesting. I raised ATo and won the blinds and antes; I raised A7o on the button and folded to a shove (he showed AQo); I shoved AKo over a raise, got called by TT, and lost.

I have 38,700 chips. It was a rocky day for me, and I had something to do with that, with my impatience and attempts to make things happen when I didn't need to.

I finished day 1 with 58,825 chips. After I won a big pot in the first hour, I basically did nothing until the last hour, when I caught a big rush.
It started when I called a CO open from the...

the $1500 and the Main Event
