Atlantic City – Day 3

November 30th, 2005

Just played in a marathon session at the $2/$5 NL table. I started playing at 2pm Tuesday and didn’t get back to my room until 11am this morning. In those 21 hours, I learned a lot about no limit hold’em. First of all, I don’t think I’ll ever go back to playing limit hold’em because [...]

Atlantic City – Day 1

November 28th, 2005

Arrived in AC at 9:30am. It took about 3.5 hours to get here. I was asleep the whole way, since I never went to bed the night before. Anyways, I took a mini-nap in my room at the Borgata just before the 12:00pm $300+$40 NL tourney at the Showboat. I wanted to get refreshed, so [...]

True Life: A week in the life of a poker pro

November 26th, 2005

Alright…I got crushed on the Thanksgiving day NFL games. I knew they were both traps. I took Detroit +3.5 and Dallas +2. That Dallas game was such a sucker bet. It went from -2 dallas to +3 Dallas. A 5 point move from the opening line!! I took the bait anyways…And then, the first quarter [...]

$900 win at Full Tilt; Poker tourneys coming up…

November 23rd, 2005

UB wasn’t treating me well and I had some money at Full Tilt, so I decided to play a little bit there. I started out playing $5/$10, but I wasn’t getting anywhere. Then, I accidentally stumbled into a $5/$10 NL game. I started with my usual $200 bankroll, then after about 5 or 6 hands, [...]

I couldn’t find any NBA picks, so here are some hockey picks for tonight: Carolina -160 Boston -125 They both fall into my “system”. Made a good amount back today in the stock market with CBJ. The whole gold sector is making a run and with volume, so if you’re not on board yet, it’s [...]

bad day all around…

November 16th, 2005

The market gave me a beating today. That’s what I get for going against the flow on options expiration week. I’ll never do that again. Always stick with the trend and keep tight stops. The cardinal rules of daytrading. I broke both of those today. I have no time to sulk though. The market made [...]

More gambling…

November 14th, 2005

Let’s see…what kind of gambling trouble did I get into this weekend? I went buckwild on the sportsbetting again.

If it weren’t for those halftime bets [...]
