Fast Structure Equals Less Fun for Me

I grew up playing tournaments with fast structures. It was fun for me as a kid, just playing was enjoyable so I didn't mind playing in tournaments with 20 minute levels and huge jumps. I'm not a kid anymore, though, and I find fast paced structures to get boring very quickly. I simply...

Playing EPT PCA Tuesday

I've changed my starting day from today to tomorrow. I'll be at table 19 Seat 8. Anyone interested in following the tournament should note that Nassau is on Eastern Standard Time. SS

It's only a week away

That's right; the Aussie Millions is only a week away. Less actually, five days if we must get super technical. As I've mentioned somewhere in the area of infinity times, the Aussie Millions is my absolute favorite tournament series of the year. It's a great three weeks because on top...

BEHIND THE SCENES ON THE TOURNAMENT TRAIL

Meet the Cordi Family

The poker world begins 2009 in either the Bahamas or Australia next week, after a fortnight where poker tournaments around the world grinded to a halt as players returned home to spend time with their families. Since the holidays are a time of year when families come together, this is a great...

DOYLISM OF THE DAY: "Life is one sweet song. Enjoy the music."

DOYLISM OF THE DAY: "Life is one sweet song. Enjoy the music." I hope this football season gets through soon. I only leave my desk and TV to go play poker when there is a game. I thought I had the football needle out of my arm but it's so much fun to bet and watch, I can't help...

Game and Opponent Selection

This is an article I recently wrote for a UK or European magazine (sadly I don't know which) called Inside Poker. I'm not really sure how I thought of the analogy but I think it's fitting. Hope you enjoy! Game and Opponent Selection I am frequently asked by my peers, and students as...

Better Poker in 2009

Russ Scott, who writes the syndicated Lucky Dog Poker column, asked several poker pros their advice on how to improve your results in 2009. I was happy to be one of the half-dozen he asked, along with Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, Greg Raymer, Chris Moneymaker, Jennifer Harman, and Tuan Lam....

Misclicking for Fun and Profit

note: cross posted from Andrew's blog at http://www.thinkingpoker.net/Blog/ It never ceases to amuse me when my mistakes make me money. Here I meant to bet $99 on the river and accidentally bet $9. The result was inducing a huge check-raise bluff from a hand that almost certainly would have...

ROY "THE ORACLE" WINSTON

Picking a WSOP Event

Well, I survived Toronto, which was really quite nice, and am back in NY City through New Year's. I have been playing online at FullTilt lately. In chatting with players and railbirds I have been asked to comment on a variety of topics. One topic that seems to come up often is questions about...

Funds from my AP account magically gone

So just as a heads up to everyone else. I attempted to make a $6,000 transfer on AP right before they moved to Cereus. I am certain of this. However, after a couple weeks now I went to check in on it and there is no record of the request or the transfer and the other player didnt get it. So I...

Fédération Internationale de Football Association, sucks.

Another non poker entry today. I love watching professional sports. Without question, my favorite sport to watch is soccer. This is also without having any natural loyalty to any team. I watch several European soccer games each week, and not because I support any team really, but just because I...

Red Pro gets KO

I just watched Mike Swick, who is a poker player and a friend of Full Tilt, knock his opponent out in tonights UFC, which was a benifit to help soldiers returning from war with serious brain problems. It was good to see the UFC bringing awareness to this cause and there have been and will be many...

BZZZZZZ (Taser bet); $450,000 in one day, Phillies, Leinart, London

Posted: December 03, 2008 04:53 PM OK, I woke up Friday at 10:00 am (ouch!), and hopped in my white stretch limo at 10:30 am. Then my limo driver Singh drove up the runway right to my private jet ride at the San Jose airport. Tom Smith is one of the two brother Founders of "Taser"-along...

Payback's a Bitch

A few weeks ago I got a phone call at five in the morning from Stormin' Norman. For years, Norman drove a bus by day and played poker all night, which is why I always take taxis. They might all be at it. I figured it couldn't be good news so I went on the attack with a "Do you know...
