$61 Sunday DeepStack

Posted by Assistanc3 On January - 25 - 2009

This game was …well I can’t say broadcast as there was no coverage of the actually game, but khayless has made his way back onto the air, not short of insults towards me either.  Dunno why he apologies after every time he does it.  I  just ignored it as usual, what is humors is that other people find his childish behavior funny.

At the start of this game, I was in another game, which I ended up taking 4th just playing basic ABC poker.  Just playing the cards and the board.  I guess I got lucky in one hand¿  As a player called my all-in with pocket 2’s¿ that let me double up and cruise into the money.

$51 Fri Night Live

Posted by Assistanc3 On January - 24 - 2009

Its Friday Night Live on Players Cardroom.
$10 buyin paying the top 3, as there was 23 entrants tonight.

Two days after blogging about Letting Myself Down, I had to get my mind back on track with a solid game.  Wasn’t so much about winning, more geared towards the focus.  Once I know my mind was focused on playing well, winning just follows….but I didn’t win tonight.

Reading the Flop Omaha

Posted by Assistanc3 On January - 22 - 2009

After the pre flop round of betting, the flop in Omaha is the next most important part to learn because it is usually where the weaker poker player loses money.

Once you know of what hands are easy to let go and which have value to continue is when you will start to consistently profit playing Omaha.

Omaha Hi Lo So Easy

Posted by Assistanc3 On January - 16 - 2009

After the League Game last night I made a blog about it of course, and finished the results post and updated the Leader Board.  Good friend Corey was already playing at a cash table so I hit the waiting list.  Wow that is something I could never do, honestly I am patient when it comes to cards, but waiting for a seat? No way.

$47 4-Bounty Win

Posted by Assistanc3 On January - 10 - 2009

So I got off to a nice start, well decent start in the Saturday Bounty Challenge,
broadcast by Holdem Radio Live, played on Cake Poker..

After chipping up early, but not getting any bounties I was starting to struggle, hmm maybe mid way thru the game.  My chip stack started to dwindle down a bit, and wow blinds and antes are eating me alive.  Not to mention TEAM2WIN sitting over on my right.
