Into the money and final round of the Heads Up Tourney

So first today, while half the field got byes, I drew this guy who’s online name is xMonsterxDongx, which is pretty hilarious.  As an aside, you’d think that once this guy became pretty well known, he’d change his name, but no, I asked him, and he’ll be MonsterDong for the long haul.  Either way, MonsterDong [...]

More Propbetting, and I get owned in a pot against Vanessa

First, Vanessa, Dani, and I got hooked up with tickets from the Crown Casino to go to the Australian Open.  They were special gold passes, which, it turns out, got us almost nothing special.  But they still looked cool.  Our seats, on the other hand, were absurdly close to the acfion (about 7 rows up [...]

Degeneracy

So tonight, after spending a day at the zoo, we got a little degenerate.
First I won an 8-1 bet with emil on 100 dollars that Krantz would show up after me, emil, chris, and others to dinner.  As we’re walking to dinner, we get a text from joe Tall saying “Where is everybody”.  I was [...]

Aussie Updates

1) Just finished playing in a 25/50/100 NL game where I was sitting about 27k deep.  I ended up +40k or so on the session.  Very, very happy about that.  Also +700 betting on black or red flops, haha.
2) Tomorrow I’ll be playing in the Bounties Tournament.  I have a free entry (more or less) [...]

Aussie Update 2

So despite Jay, Rob, Joe Tall and I busting out of the opening tourney on Day 1 (Chuck, Vanessa, Josh, and Wilt still in it), we had another chance to rebuy into it today (saturday).  We decided to play basketball instead.  Turns out that Flawless is basically the steve nash of poor quality poker player [...]

Aussie Update: tourney 1

tourney 1 was a 1k buyin event that was pretty massive– first place was looking to take over 200k.  Seven of us DC guys played (myself, vanessa, joe tall, krantz, josh/sthief, wiltontilt, and danzasmack).  Unfortunately, Josh and I got pulled to the same table while everyone else split up to start (though Vanessa and Danza/Chuck [...]

Muckin Psychology

What’s up guys,
Been a while since I offered a poker article to you guys, but I have a thought that’s been kickin around in my head so I thought I’d share it with you.  It’s probably most relevant in HU matches but is definitely still applicable in a 6m setting (possibly even full ring, but [...]
