The Good NewsI checked out the new microlimit tables offered at places like Interpoker and William Hill. If you aren't ready or comfortable playing the 1/2 limits, this is a great addition for you. The blinds are 15 and 25 cents and have plenty of players. The pot doesn't hit the $5 mark as often to count toward your raked hands. And these limit players will play a touch slower than at the 1/

The first weekend of the new month is here. It's time to hit those reloads. I think I'll be working on the easy ones first so that I can have my cash ready in my Neteller account for the larger ones that will pop up as the month goes along. So the game plan looks like this:William Hill - 5 GBP per hour for 5 hours.I'll clear this playing two tables for 2.5 hours quickly. I received an email

If you have the discipline to be a winning poker player, then you should also be taking advantage of the casino bonuses that are out there. It's just more free money but easier to attain. There's no thinking required. You just follow the appropriate strategy card at Wizard of Odds and click click click.If you've never played online casinos before, here are a couple easy bonuses to get you

You may give some thought to this as you navigate between games like 1/2 or 2/4 Limit-Hold-Em down to the .50/1 tables while you are clearing a bonus. You'll wonder if your play is too tight as you fold hand after hand waiting for one that you can play. You'll wonder if that, once you do get a hand, if you fold it too easily to any strength shown by other players. Did that other guy bet

Anyone who gets frustrated at suck-outs like I do should really give 6-max tables a try. It won't be A-B-C poker. But if you can play short-handed and pay attention to your position, you'll probably do well in the micro-limits (from 1/2 limit on down). I think you'll find that your starting hands hold up better because they're often playing against less hands. Straights and flushes don't have

No one's play is perfect. We all have leaks. One of the things that seperates the -EV from the +EV players is their ability to take a hard look at their play and admit that they don't get bad beats. Leaks are called leaks because in the moment they might look like the right play, but over time you are just throwing away a little bit of money each time you play that decision.So I'm down 40BB in

I originally signed up at Bet365 because they offered a $50 bonus for a $50 deposit and it only took 250 raked hands. That's a pretty good deal on its face. It's a Prima skin and I seem to do pretty well on their network. 250 hands is only 5 hours of single table play. So you're looking at your normal earning plus $10 an hour on top of that. Add a second table and double that.The bad news

Gawd I totally forgot what playing .50/1 on a party skin was like. I haven't played since the beginning of last month. But this rakeback deal and bonus I got from Jessica at RaketheRake.com got me to play there this weekend. It's the best deal I've seen for PokerNow. (or any party skin, for that matter) You need to play through 1200 raked hands. But multitabling at party is a snap. It's

If you do, you should check out the PokerTracker Guide. It's a new ebook created by two veteran internet poker players, HDouble and Iggy.I couldn't begin to tell you all of the valuable information I've gleaned from reading their blogs, posts, and articles. So just check out the link and read about it yourself. It's +EV.

I'm in the big blind and have been playing two really good tables for quite some time now. I was going to check my 45s. The text in the Prima skin mini-view is getting kinda hard to read. So I didn't see the raise and reraise and ended up cold-calling a raise and reraise. I was chastizing myself profanely till I saw the flop. Talk about being a lucky bastard. I knew the guy in the SB, so we

I was still pretty wary of playing in a real cardroom so I drove way the hell out to Temecula and the Pechanga casino. (this was before the built the new casino) I didn't want to play at more famous places in Commerce or LA since I KNEW there would be some scary people there. I figured the one and a half hour drive would reduce that number a little bit.Two years later..Poker can be fickle and

I've been playing since my teenage years in the garage of one of my buddies where we''d split a gallon of vodka between 6 or 8 of us and play every game you've heard of and some you haven't. Believe it or not, I did pretty well. In my drunken haze, my competive nature still ruled me and helped me to learn to beat each game and all my friends. I'd almost always came out ahead.Fast forward to

It only just hit me the other day that they can't really email you a steak dinner when you play in a virtual casino. I mean those little fake drinks you can order in some poker rooms that sit next to your character are cute but they don't get the job done.So I figured I'd start a blog to share my finds and maybe a little of my poker play so everyone else can benefit without searching tons of
