Poker Perambulation

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…)

Glenda already outed herself and I can’t come up with an appropriate fake last name for her as easily – Glenda GetsItInRight is too entendre and lacks flow. Go read Glenda’s latest. The second paragraph saved me the search. She reports that Chris roll at this point in the proceeding was a whopping 7-bucks. (more…)

Admit it. We’ve all played it at times. It can even win some huge pots. I remember a bubble hand where I held a set and the only card that could beat me was a 4.

It isn’t something we always have a handle on. That’s especially true in the cheaper seats; but it doesn’t get any better higher up. Reads are often damn easy on most of those cheaper tables; higher does get a bit foggier. Of course, capitalizing on them is another discussion. I browse the net for a topic.
