Antonio Esfandiari Scoops $600,000 Pot on High Stakes Poker
Monday, March 7th, 2011Saturday night’s episode of the GSN cash game series “High Stakes Poker” featured the largest pot by far of Season 7, which is now just two hours old. Last week, two $400,000 pots were played and, this week, Victory Poker pro Antonio Esfandiari scooped one worth $593,000. Former “Saturday Night Live” funny man Norm Macdonald [...]
Erik Seidel wins the 2011 NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship!
Monday, March 7th, 2011What can we say about Erik Seidel that hasn’t already been said — in the last two months? Seidel is having a monster 2011. At the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure in January, Seidel finished 3rd in a $5,000 6-max event ($46,560) and 4th in the $25,000 High Roller event ($295,960). He then shifted locations to Australia, [...]
Swingy
Tuesday, March 18th, 2008Yesterday was a swingy day. Started off bad, was down around 2 buy ins, but by the end of the session I was up almost 2 buy ins, not bad going really. I just seem to be getting raped by chasers at the moment. Every time I’m in a relatively big pot, I always seem [...]
NL10
Tuesday, March 11th, 2008So I took the plunge with NL10 finally. Its just as bad as NL4 if not maybe even a little worse. People are happy to stack off with top pair, or call off there whole stack chasing the nut flush draw. Provided you can avoid to many suckouts you really cant fail to make money [...]
Ugh….
Monday, March 3rd, 2008I really fucking HATE downswings. I can’t win a race to save my life, I can’t flop a set and then when I do everyone insta-folds to my bet. Then when I finally get a hand some fucking idiot calling with a piss poor hand hits his fucking 3 outer. It annoys me so fucking [...]
Moving up?
Tuesday, February 26th, 2008So, after depositing a mere $50 back on January 2nd and playing only NL4 I find myself currently at just over $200, not a bad return in around 7 weeks. Which begs the question, is it time to move up to NL10? Possibly yes, part of me wants to stay at NL4 until I hit [...]
Quote of the day
Thursday, February 21st, 2008So I get AA and raise to 24c (NL4) all folds around to SB who pushes for $3 and then the BB calls, obv I call. BB has KK and the SB has 55!!!!!!!. Of course the 55 guy hits quads and when someone questions his push he justifies it by saying it was a [...]
NL4 = $$$$$$$
Tuesday, February 19th, 2008No Limit 4 is quite simply insane. There are so many bad players that you cannot fail to make money if you play sensibly. People seem to just want throw money away. I have seen people open push for over $5 with junk like KQo or 44. Provided that you can avoid too many bad [...]
Argh
Tuesday, February 12th, 2008So yesterday I had a great day poker wise, I ended up at +$30 at NL4 (big stakes I know) but then today just seemed to be punishment for winning the day before. First I had KK run into AA and then 15 minutes later the exact same thing happened again while at the same [...]
