My greatest fear was my parents reaction but wow, what a crazy turn of events. I finally got the balls to tell them straight up and they seemed pretty calm about, even supportive. Not to say that my parents are Nazi's but they usually give a huge angry lecture after every stupid move...

It has been going okay, I have plenty of leaks I have to fix. I've been going back down to 10NL after I'm feeling a little spewy to gain confidence and de-tilt. The biggest problem I have so far is with the short stacks. I give them absolutely no respect and try to "outplay" them by 3betting and whatnot. Simply put...

Machines that can trim your stomach line with vibration, yeah right. The P90X advertisement has been no stranger to my television set but there was never any interest in it. One day I was discussing work outs with a friend that was prepping for the army. I mentioned my lackluster style of exercise which included b...

What a freaking cooler, my parents are going to murder me. Double cooler because I'm Asian FUUUUUUUUCK! So I have one year to work and do whatever, I'm guessing it's going to be poker. By this rate, I'll be done undergrad when I'm 24/25, fucking disgusting. If I go for my masters, 29 is when I ...

My skill level is so low that 10NL seems like this horrible mountain I can't climb. I approached poker like I would any game, trying to give myself an advantage at the start through this website and other resources. Unfortunately, it hasn't been working out. Am I destined to be a bad poker player? Maybe, but I haven't reached breaking point yet. I WILL SUCCEED DAMNIT, DID...

Emerson So its been about three weeks or so since I started playing poker seriously and the results have been good. I've passed 2NL and i'll have to say that it was very, very tedious. However, the benefits gained from the limit made it worth every hour played. I've logged over sixty hours and i'm pretty proud of that. My BR was...

So my friends wanted to hit the casino today so I checked out the website and found that they did have no limit tables. Excited to try poker live, I called them up and reserved some seats (2.5hr wait, yuck long weekend) and made our way there. Having read Myth's articles about live hold em, I didn't feel hopeless because I knew there must be some players worse than ...

What interested me the most was that he said the strategic elements of poker were akin to high-level video gaming. The words of a gambling addict or a wise sage? I soon found out. Remember the scene in the Matrix where Neo takes the red pill and life as he knows it changes? It... Thu, 15 May 2008 19:27:06 -0500 http://www.liquidpoker.net/blog/viewblog.php?id=476452
