I’ve mostly been playing sit’n’gos lately, and I’ve been doing ok, but not great. The swings have been pretty big. One day I’ll win 20k and the next day I’ll lose 15. February has been a lot better than January was, so I guess I’m doing ok. After having some severe bad luck, I finally managed to win a seat on the Party Cruise. I was playing the single table $1900 sngs that pay one seat. I had gotten heads up with a significant chip lead and lost three times. Anyway, I locked up the seat on the very last day ...

So far the year hasn’t treated me very well. January was my worst month ever. I don’t really care to discuss how much I lost in my blog, but it was rough. However, I should mention that I ran so unbelievably well from September to December that I really have no reason to be discouraged. Things are just evening out a little bit, and that’s poker. I’m still playing my A game, and that’s what matters. Despite my recent downswing, life is good. I recently set aside a large sum of money to invest in stocks and funds, and since I ...

Sorry for the lack of updates, but there hasn’t been too much to report. I’ve mostly been playing 10/20 NL on Party lately (and a LOT of it). I’m trying to keep my identity there secret for as long as I can, so I don’t want to say too much. I’ve been winning, but not at a rate I’m happy with. I think I’m running pretty badly, but it’s hard to say. I’ll have to get used to the pace of this game. MrSmokey1 ran a private tourney the other day on Stars. It was a $500+30 buyin and 27 people ...

There’s a scammer out there that I want to expose. His name is Steve Da Pimp. He pretends to be poker players like myself and asks to borrow money from people. He has several AIM screen names including Stevedapimp 17, Twin Caracas, RobDaPimp15420, spoony1350, curzdog19, TheRealZeeJustin and JustinBonomo. He also has gone to several poker sites including Full Tilt and made screen names like Curzdog and ZeeJustin (I think support gave that account name to me now). He’s supposedly a 17 year old kid from West Virginia. In his most recent scam, he has been using the screen name JustinBonomo on ...

I was going to start a “Hand of the Week” type thing, but then I realized how lazy I am, and I don’t want to commit to having to do this every week just yet. So for now, I’m just going to call this, “Dissecting a Hand”. To me this first hand is pretty straight forward. Although it’s definitely a tough decision, the pros and cons seemed obvious to me. I then saw the hand posted on a couple of various poker forums around the internet, and was in shock at how wrong some people were about the hand. I realized ...

Sorry for the lack of updates lately, but I had some trouble with internet access while in the Bahamas, and didn’t really care enough to fix them. After all, I was in the Bahamas. This is a double update. I posted Update #1 with the date Jan 6, because that’s when I wrote it (even though it wasn’t posted until today.) Make sure you read that blog before this one. On Saturday I finally made it out to the beach. I met up with Brandon Schaefer, and Carl Olson (I became friends with those guys when all three of us made the ...

I flew into the Bahamas for the WPT on Wednesday, and Gavin Griffin was on the same plane as me. We didn’t feel like waiting through the huge taxi line at the airport, so we arrived at the Atlantis Resort with style – in a limo. I ran into 1,000 poker players I knew before I had even finished checking in. That’s one thing I love about these live tourneys. The high-level poker community is very small and you end up seeing the same faces over and over. It does get to be a pain in this place sometimes. The ...
