A New Convert

OMG, what have I been missing all of these years!

I've always been a live specialist, with Internet play being a second best thing for me. Part of this is the limited ability to get personal reads on players, which I excel at. Of course, I did all of my Internet play with no supporting software, no HUD, just me and the computer.

This week, after a long, horrible run where I saw my online roll whither away to next-to-nothing, I bit the bullet, and got Poker Manager. Now I have a ton of tracking information and a workable HUD. I have been banging my head in disgust at myself ever since. Why didn't I do this sooner? Now I have clear reads on who is TAG preflop but passive postflop - who over-steal the blinds - who tends to overbet on the river or will call too many CBets with soft holdings.

And my online play has rocketed off as I have been able to use this information profitably in the games.

Sometimes I am just flat out stupid. Fortunately, I do get it right eventually. most of the time.

Gtta go, got some money to make at Poker Stars!

Doyle's Supersystem

I saw this listing on Amazon. The supersystem is the book that really introduced me to poker strategy.

Love it when I play idiots

Just a quick note. I'm sitting in a food court playing on Poker Stars ($0.50/$1). Raise in MP w/ QQ. Called by SB. Flop is 4JQ two hearts. SB goes AI, I happily call. The turn gives me Quads!
SB has ...

63 off.

Well, if you are going to donate, might as well against Quads!
