I don’t think that is a coincidence. I’m lucky my brother is into holdem as much (more) as me. We tend to talk about holdem regularly and throw ideas, strategies, and suggestions around. These talks are helpful because often I don’t readily see errors in the way I am playing, or bad […]

I was aggressive at holdem, and I won.
27-Jun-08First back to back holdem losses.
26-Jun-08I had another rough night at the holdem tables last night. I noticed that was my first back to back losses since I started tracking certain stats on 12/6/07- when my bankroll was only $17.95 (now $125.89). Funny thing is, I made a late comeback and lost very little. It felt like […]
Worst holdem session in 2.5 months.
25-Jun-08That sounds much worse then it really is. I only lost about $5.50, but I’ve had a steady 2.5 months, so that is the most I’ve lost in one session in that span. 2.5 months ago my Bankroll was only $42 when I lost about $9.00. I even expected a night like […]
$5NL Holdem session from 6/23/08.
24-Jun-08I played $5NL for the first time in 10 days on Pokerstars last night. I got a much later start then I wanted, 10:30pm, and only played for an hour. It turned out to be a good session though, winning about $6 and upping my bankroll to $131.02 (goal is $200, then up […]
Hole 14, The Natural golf course. Gaylord, Michigan.
It’s been a busy 10 days, and that’s exactly how long since I’ve played holdem online at Pokerstars. Five of those days were spent up north in Gaylord, Michigan on our annual golf trip. 12 of us played 135 holes in 5 days (should […]
Turbulent! We even had to land at a different airport, refuel and fly around the massive severe storm that prevented our first attempt at landing. The pilot tried to land but pulled up just before because of severe wind sheer. One person was so hysterical and afraid that she got off the […]
Played my first session after moving up to $0.02/$0.05 no limit holdem, all things considered I think it went well. I started out a bit apprehensive, just getting a feel for the flow, but it didn’t take me long to just play my game. I was afraid I might let the larger pot […]
Made my first goal, bankroll is at $100.
31-May-08Around September of 2007 I won $2.00 in a freeroll on Pokerstars, last night my bankroll went over $100 without ever putting any of my own money in. It’s been a grind, but that $100 was my first goal, and now I will be moving up to $0.02/$0.05 no limit holdem. I’m a […]
All-in preflop with pocket Aces.
29-May-08I can’t think of a better hand to get all-in preflop with than Aces, except maybe A3 suited. You know where this is going, don’t you? So I get dealt AA and get a big bet in front of me, I think it was $0.84 if I remember correctly, which is almost a […]
Best online poker session to date.
25-May-08I played online for about 45 minutes yesterday and upped my bankroll to $87.18 from $74.21. That’s the most money I’ve made in one session since starting this journey after winning $2.00 in a free roll. Not bad for playing just 3 tables at $0.01/$0.02 no limit. Planning on playing a […]
