Bill Rini again provides a provocative look at the online poker business. Well, provocative may overstate. But, Bill’s voice is rather unique. It comes as a tangent from the business side of poker. We players avoid that for the most part. Riggstad recognizes the business aspect. But, most posts about it are intermittent – save Bill’s blog. Read more…
Well, it is a topic that just won’t go away. Poker players know risk:reward either well or in a way that puts their sign in Pisces with Pluto ascending their leg – the dog and not the former planet. The site I’m going to leave nameless disclosed their “security alert” for UB. They found the same on Cake. It is a BFD only in their SEO directed minds. That seems a vested interest. Read more…
Well, gardening for some is different than gardening for others. Case in point is Bill Rini who watered and fertilized for Party Poker’s site. Being retired/burned-out/ExPated allows less cryptic posting of insider thought. His ongoing theme has been how to “keep/attract fish” and, like his counterparts, he does and doesn’t get it.

Sir Waffles gently chided me – well, for Waffles very, very gently. He was parroting common opinion about Ultimate Bet. I have no argument against his accuracy or castigation. The end result being an admonishment for playing there. Read more…
No, not those. Neither is it about it. I was cured of the latter in freshman football. Barely hairing, a fellow freshman walked to the showers and put every swinging soul in the school on defense. And, I've never seen the likes since — even sharing the showers with any number of black guys. In poker, sizing is a constant argument playing no limit. You’d think most of that would go away when the game is limit. Not true. Read more…
Not a lot to report. I’ve been playing a little and it I suck. As the saga has been told, I’m playing on UB – avoiding giving FT my rake. There aren’t as many tables to choose from. There are/were more Stud8 games for some reason. It is also true that more women are playing them, Anyway. I’ve been playing the S8b tournament (3.30) to try to build some S8b chops. Read more…
Well, you got your limit grinders. You’ve got Euro facing Pot Limit. And, of course, TV’s favorite No Limit. But, there is another form spread in many casinos that isn’t even a gleam in the eyes of the sites.
Well, can’t complete that biblical reference. And there was???? Give me a break. Regular readers will recall my past bits of enjoyable exchange with poker support groups. Today’s comes compliments of Ultimate Bet. Read more…
I know I’ve discussed this already. But, this morning I read a similar horror story in a whole other area. It wasn’t the story as much as the considered responses.
I’m back to playing a bit at Ultimate Bet. Quite a bit of change. When I started playing again with the $$$ transfer from Mojo, they gave me Legend status for some weird reason. That’s their next to the top level. It isn’t a problem getting level II but III at the levels I play at are harder since they made the points harder — FT level or slightly easier. It really used to be unbelievably soft playing ante games. I could sell back more points than they’d gotten in rake. Read more…
