Playing at Bodog again…

April 27th, 2005

Been playing at Bodog again. They have an unlimited 20% deposit bonus. All you have to do is earn 300 bodog points per $100 in bonus money or wager 5 times the deposit amount in the sportsbook. The sportsbook route is pretty tough because if you deposit $1000, you would have to wager $6000 in [...]

BOOM….not quite…

April 21st, 2005

Alright, so I won. But only $90. I was up about $350 at one point. I was playing my “A” game the entire time, until I decided to try to muscle a few people around. That’s when I ran into some trouble. That’s when I always run into some trouble. If I could just stick [...]

I just read Daniel Negreanu’s blog for April 19th. Negreanu’s Blog He’s playing in the $25,000 buy-in tourney at the Bellagio…the WPT Championship event.

After his one hour speal, a few friends and myself started playing in this free no limit hold’em tournament that so many bars seem to have these days. They uses these tournaments as a crutch [...]

April 8th, 2005

I’m not sure why, but I haven’t really felt like playing poker over the past few days. I played a little bit online, but I really didn’t feel like playing…it was just force of habit to play online when I’m watching TV. Maybe I just need to take a little break from poker, so that [...]

Slow weekend…

April 4th, 2005

It’s been a slow poker weekend for me. I played a little online at UB and Absolute, but not much. I must say that Absolute is taking great strides to become one of the leaders out there. Their interface is great, however it’s still not as fast as UB’s is. As a matter of fact, [...]
