Poker Perambulation

Maybe we need one of those guidebooks to ID players. It might be more interesting/useful than some of the poker books for sale on Amazon. My one for birds doesn’t work for poker. I’ve never seen a Ruby Throated Hummer at the tables. (more…)

On FullTilt, you’ll often see the high limit PLO table is red. It indicates that the pros are having another wizzing contest. David Benyamine is often in the group and always one of the more aggressive players at the table. Tournaments require more aggression but that’d be hard for David or a Viking to pull off. (more…)

Linda and Glenda wax poetic over Donkeys. That may be valid or not. Here, I’m not always sure. We three tend toward the 7 card games and early aggression often prices in drawing hands. And decent hands can also backdoor a longshot. But, I think the ladies aren’t ignoring that. (more…)

That’d probably mean you’re sitting on a bluff. Yes, I do that on occasion too. Unlike some though, I don’t try to make it a livelihood. It a selective, situational activity. The goal isn’t to outjism the other guy. The goal is to keep people a bit more honest and try to compensate a bit for the blinds and antes. (more…)

and it is a big three day one with Indy in the mix. I’ve gone to time trials and race. It is an experience you should have once. Especially the race. It is an all night party in the street alongside the track. Lot of good old boys, trucks with a stock tank full of cold beer on the back, and food stands along the street’s edge. (more…)

Linda said to answer in the blog. I got to thinking about all she’s putting out there – combined with some of the stuff already in her Chris Forum. I thought the thing had grown to the point of a blog with some extra comments in the forum thrown in. (more…)

$mokkee is a blogger and also an article writer here called smokkee. We aren’t as hip as those who can make use of the full ASCII font set. (more…)

Not in my soup; at my tables. If Captain Spaulding showed up, he’d be the sane one. (more…)

We’d all like it. It sometimes even seems it is there. But, even then, we may be simply restating the obvious with our play. You make a good read and it looks like one. Then you blow it and look like Fido’s backside using the same solution process. (more…)

Over in the forums there a thread about favorite sites. When, I contributed it made me think a bit about sites and why or when I played them before the UIGEA. Things have changed. DUH! (more…)
