So kudos to Full Tilt Poker for signing up with a true heavyweight boxing contender, Audley Harrison. And he’s no fluke. No novice to poker tournaments. The dude is damned good. The [...]

Alcohol and a side game

This Thursday I took a few rough beats to get knocked out of the tournament (KK to 88 – they hit a straight, and JJ to 1010 – 10 on the river), and went back to the room to drown my sorrows in a few good games of beer pong. Needless to say by the [...]

A night of poker

Tonight I went out to an American Legion game with Ben (www.college-startup.com), and after being ripped off by a taxi driver who went quite the roundabout way to get to the legion, we played some poker. The game was a $40 freezeout (no rebuys), and after the taxi ride ($30) I was looking to climb [...]

No respect … how I like it

Sometimes a table is just too juicy to leave – even if you’re starving! PartyPoker recently gave me $30 to play with online and I’ve been playing the $0.10/$0.25 NL ring games and doing well. I sat down at the table with $20 and my own ‘strategy.’ The idea I play ring games with is [...]
