I turned 30 today. Whether or not I would make it this long was not always clear, which makes me particularly thankful. Most people come into this world kicking and screaming. This is the natural way of things, and is generally considered a good sign for the health of a child. I, (being someone who [...]

So Australian players can now play on Lock Poker and get 36% rakeback. Pretty awesome. For those who don’t follow the online poker politics, about a month ago a press release sent by Lock Poker advised the poker community, “Lock is in the process of acquiring assets from Cake and will be re-branding the Cake [...]

Woke up this morning, and made $50 before even starting my poker session! As I’ve mentioned before, most of my time online is spent on 888 Poker these days, along with playing some of the tournaments on PartyPoker.

These are the guys I’ve started accounts with, because sometimes they have different odds, so I can always go with whoever has the best deal on a particular game. For the Australian bets [...]

I’ve been playing a lot of live poker over the last week or so, and you sure do meet some interesting people that way. On the weekend I was at what is affectionately known as the “Leb Game”, which is a sort of private poker club for people who have no interest in poker unless [...]

It’s been an extremely enjoyable few weeks. So many cool things going on I hardly know where to begin. First the basics: I’ve been coaching a couple of moderately new players on the basics of poker strategy, and they are coming along really well. Still at early stages of their development as players, but so [...]
