Poker Perambulation

In a Land Far Away…

No, this hasn’t turned into a Star Wars blog … yet …

I am being about as historic though. I’m talking about my transitions in my poker play. (more…)

My latest Stud book is by Ray Zee. (Won’t destroy its dignity by naming the other two.) I’ve been struggling over how to play Stud as you are all too aware. I supposedly see too many flops and am not aggressive enough. That has been something I’ve fought over everything from MMT’s on down or up – however, you wish to frame it.
