Wam – Bam

August 31st, 2010 5 comments

Against my better judgment, I played the Bammer. It had been a while since I’d played over on FT. It is one of those 8 P. M. blogger thingies that I try to avoid. The only one I play in often is Linda’s little HORSE one and I am truly beholding to that lovely lady.  She plays online poker Read more…

That little stud8 tourney

August 19th, 2010 1 comment

OK, maybe luckboxing it but I had this one coming.  The last week or so I'd get to the final table or two and then spew chips like a drunken blogger.  Rivers were particularly nasty during that time.  So, it was my turn to get hit over the head with the deck.  Sue me.

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.

The Play’s the Thing

It is why I play poker, anyway. Not sure how useful it solving the murder of kings. And who needs more loose cannon Danes at the table. I played Linda’s little HORSE extravaganza this evening. Sadly, in retrospect, I got some good cards, made some good read and played fairly well. Read more…
