I recently decided I’m going to stop including my photography in every post.  Instead I will be, for the most part, keeping hold ‘em and photography posts separate.  I’m doing this for a few reasons, but mainly because my web … Continue reading →

Lions and Poker and Xbox, oh my!

Posted on Sunday, December 28, 2008 by Jim

Today is my last of a 5 day weekend, and what a great 5 days it’s been.  I think I’ll even get to see history today.  I don’t see anyway the Detroit Lions (0-15) get a win on the road … Continue reading →

Posted on Thursday, December 25, 2008 by Jim

I played hold ‘em again tonight for the first time in a week.  I only played for about 30 minutes and won $9 bringing the bankroll up to $278, which ties my all time high (knock on wood).  It’s been … Continue reading →

Posted on Sunday, December 14, 2008 by Jim

Just a quick update here.  I played two days last week and won $25 getting me back up to $260.  I’ve played some today though and am down $10, but it was much worse than that at one point, so … Continue reading →

Move down to $5NL, win $20, move up to $10NL.

Posted on Tuesday, December 9, 2008 by Jim

Does that sound like the grind of a hold ‘em player or what!?  My goal was to move up to $10NL at $250, which I did.  At $278 the losing commenced all the way down to $235.  I decided to … Continue reading →

Posted on Sunday, December 7, 2008 by Jim

Moving down a limit. Again.

Posted on Saturday, December 6, 2008 by Jim

My rise up the ladder at $10 NL didn’t last long.  After moving up when my bankroll reached $250, I had a few good sessions bringing me up to $278 (the highest my bankroll has ever been).  The fun ended … Continue reading →

Posted on Wednesday, December 3, 2008 by Jim

We all want to be professional poker players, right?  Just say yes.  Well now is your chance (as long as you know I am using the term “professional” loosely).  Anyway…If you play poker online, then chances are you play at … Continue reading →
