Madden? Excuse Me?

John Madden will be moving from ABC to NBC after this year.

John Madden is the best analyst in the history of the National Football League and, in my opinion, the best analyst of any kind in sports television history.

Lost and Found

Any regular readers (are there actually any?) would now that I haven’t posted much over the last month and a half. I started to feel as if I was lost when I played poker. Limit was becoming too much of a grind and it was getting extremely boring. I was still playing, just not having much fun when I did. As a result I wasn’t playing as well as I know I can.

During this time I’ve experimented with different games and I’ve actually had some some pretty good success in a few areas. I’ve tried playing a few more tournaments, even making some small cashes in a few. I’ve played some $3/6 and I even play $5/10 6-max at my new favorite site. Yes, the games are this soft! No, I will not tell you where. There aren’t many players at this site and I don’t need 50 poker bloggers (so maybe 2 bloggers actually read me) taking over my cash cow. I’ve tilted away $600 in two hours, then went to hit golf balls to cool off. When I came back to play, I won it all back and then some more. My 6-max game has improved quite a bit. I’ve also jumped into some of the lower no-limit tables to spice things up. I’ve been winning there. Not a whole lot, but I’m winning.

Recently I’ve also jumped into heads up SNGs and I just love them! I’ve played somewhere between 15 to 20 and have only lost 3 or 4. Again, the players at this site are pretty weak. Just the other day I won 8 HU SNGs in a row. I started out playing for $20 and worked my way up to $100. It was a nice $600+ day for my bankroll. Not only are these challenging and good for your no-limit game, but they are a blast to play. When I’m playing one, I don’t play any other games and my attention is entirely on the other player. It’s pretty easy to push people around. Sooner or later they’ll get sick of you continuously betting/raising and they’ll bluff with garbage at the wrong time.

So, to sum it up, I’m back on track. My bankroll is doing great and I’m having fun playing poker again. I might have to start taking paydays out of my poker winnings.

Another Dr. Visit

Over a month ago I was pretty sick for about a week. Everything got better, but I have a cough that never went away. Last night I finally decided to go back to the Doc. This time he gave me a different antibiotic and some cough syrup with Codeine. It better work, because it’s starting […]

Bonus Stars

Throughout the week Poker Stars is giving double FPP during from 3-4 and 10-11 each night. Just a week or two ago, I received a $120 deposit bonus and figured this would be a perfect time to work it off. I played 5 tables for an hour last night, ranging from $2/4 down to $0.50/1. Basically just trying to play as many hands as possible for the free cash. I cleared 1/3 of the required FPP and made about $20 at the tables as well. Should have been more, but I took some bluffs too far. My current bankroll is over $4,100 and since I started keeping track in September, I’ve pulled in about $6,000 from poker. I love the Internet!
