Recently there has been a spur of discussion over the possibility of adding additional PLO tournaments to the regular schedule on PokerStars. That makes this as good a time as any to chime in with my thoughts on the matter. Firstly, I am in full support of more tournaments with greater ranges of buyins and … Read more →

I want to talk a bit about the benefits of having an online presence. I use the term “online presence” extraordinarily loosely: I doubt I could properly define exactly what I mean by it. I imagine it encompasses anything and everything that is attached to “you” online. Whether it’s your real name, a screen name … Read more →

You’re tired, so you put it off until tomorrow. Oops. You forgot that you have a jam packed schedule and will be out of the house all day. It’s now the third day and having been postponed twice already another day doesn’t seem too bad. From there it gets increasingly easier to put it off. … Read more →

I’m rounding the 700,000 VPP corner and the end is in sight. Well almost. Actually no not really. There’s still a long, uphill battle ahead. I’m on track to make it by the 20th of December assuming maintaining a 10k per day average. Yesterday Puneet and I booked our flights to India leaving on the … Read more →

I’m not going to lie, life is hectic at the moment. I haven’t given up trying to get SNE and I don’t intend to – but it has been a rough start (or re-start rather). I go back and forth between playing a max of 12-15 tables and attempting to play up to 21 tables … Read more →

Questionable Hamlet paraphrasing aside, I have been debating back and forth in my mind for some time now whether or not I should try and make SNE this year. It had been established as essentially a sure fire thing until a recent bout of travelling + live tournaments. Due to a one-year-only rule in Stars … Read more →

Ask someone in Australia what they think of when September rolls around and they may say the end of winter and beginning of spring. Ask an American and they may tell you it is the end of summer and beginning of autumn (or fall, if you will). Ask an online poker player and they will … Read more →

It’s been a strange couple of weeks. Strange in that there has been an enormous abundance (comparative to recent times) for me of live poker, no limit hold’em and tournament poker and contrasty a stark lack of online poker, cash games and pot limit omaha. The second bit of strangeness comes from the fact that I have … Read more →

I wrote the below thoughts down a few days ago and was tossing up between keeping it to myself or sharing it. It was written for personal use and I had to change the writing from first to second person but I decided to share it not only because sharing is caring (oh you better … Read more →
