Playing at UB again…

February 27th, 2005

Well, I started playing at UB again. Bodog was good while it lasted and I’ll probably go back there some time, but for now, I’ve got money in UB and it’s the only place where I’ve consistenly made money. Not sure if you any of you are into sportsbetting, but here’s an NCAA basketball trend [...]

$1/$2 no limit ring game…

February 24th, 2005

Played in $1/$2 no limit ring game last night. Buy-in was a max of $100 and if you got below that point at any time, then you can buy back up to $100. Now, I’m not a very good no limit player, but I’ve been trying to hone my game as it seems this is [...]

$20 buy-in no limit tourney…

February 21st, 2005

So, I played in a $20 buy-in tourney yesterday. The field consisted of 26 players. We started with 2000 chips, and it was unlimited rebuys for the first hour of play. The blinds started at 25/50 increasing every 20 minutes. The payout schedule was as follows: 1st – $300 2nd – $200 3rd – $100 [...]

My last hand at bodog…

February 20th, 2005

After dropping about half my profits at the $5/$10 limit tables in a ridiculously crazy run of hands, I started playing some $1/$2 no limit. Here’s my last hand of the night: I have KK in early position. With one limper before me, I make it $8 to go. The BB calls and the early [...]

It happened…

February 19th, 2005

Yup…the string of bad cards came, just like I was anticipating. I wasn’t hoping for it, but I had a feeling that it’d come. Oh well, maybe it’s time to go back to UB? It was a nice run at Bodog, while it lasted. Can’t complain, still made some nice chump change. I played some [...]

bodog’s my new site…

February 11th, 2005

Another few days of playing at bodog and another nice profit. I must say, this is by far the fairest poker room out there. I haven’t experienced any of those ridiculous streaks of bad beats that I’ve experienced over and over at those other poker sites…especially at UB, where the streaks are pretty much predictible [...]

bodog poker…

February 10th, 2005

Well, I finally decided to fund my bodog account just to see what the fuss was all about. I’m impressed. The interface is pretty clean and the games are pretty fast paced. You can multi-table and it’s never hard to find a game…at any limit. In my opinion, the competition is definitely softer than at [...]

$60 no limit tourney…

February 6th, 2005

I played in a $60 no limit tourney this Friday night. 23 players total. The pot would be split amongst the top 3 finishers: 65%, 20%, 15%. Everyone started with 20,000 in chips with the blinds starting at 100/200, doubling every 30 minutes. Obviously, anything short of a victory would be a disappointment. Since I [...]
