Funny the way it is...

Midway through my Sunday grind, I saw Ryan watching a YouTube video about a new poker reality show. I hadn’t heard anything about it until that moment, and I laughed a lot while watching it. Later in the day my twitter feed became a discussion forum for how awful the show, the concept and the … Read more →

In the last week or two, I started getting back to the poker grind.  Am at 196k VPPs on the year, will get to that $2600 bonus in the next few days….oh what to buy?!?!  I would still like to be able to hit 250k VPPs as a personal high and to check off a … Read more →

If you were missing my blog during WCOOP, I decided to compile all my videos here.  It was a lot of fun playing from the iPad (and sometimes my phone) during September, but am happy to be back on my usual computers. The mobile app is great, it is straightforward and easy to use.  I … Read more →

The summer has blown by us and here we are back in September.  It has been a hectic three months since we moved into the new house, busy with home renovations, gardening (aka weeding), painting and hosting family and friends!  We can certainly feel a chill in the air, especially at night time.  Our most … Read more →

As I have mentioned before, one of the highlights of my trip to the PCA earlier this year was getting to meet most of Team Online. Without Team Online, I likely would never have met Grzegorz (we called him Warsaw or Greg), and without having met DaWarsaw my trip to PCA certainly would have been … Read more →

I have been touring around wine country in between grinding sessions and can hardly believe that MicroMillions is back on PokerStars.  Our friends who live out here love playing these events, and crush them too.  James finished in the top 200 in the anniversary Sunday Storm, so hopefully he will finish strong in one of … Read more →

I have often thought that the month of May is when we should celebrate New Years. It seems a bit dreary to celebrate that in the middle of winter, in the depths of the shortened and often frozen days. Spring time just seems to embody the New Year, and I am always so invigorated when … Read more →

Black Friday was an awful day for the poker community. I remember coming home from work on the train, very confused by the frenzy that I was following on my twitter feed.  I wound up chatting with a few American pro friends, and can only remember the uncertainty and fear they all shared.  I am … Read more →

A couple days ago PokerStars launched a tournament series for with low stakes buy ins, the MicroMillions.  This tournament is running until the 25th, but if you can only pick a couple events to play in, be sure to make it tomorrow’s event #34, starts at 1700 EST and is a $5.50 NL Hold’em Knockout … Read more →

Some of the best people I know are poker players or work in the business of poker. Sadly, there are some awful scumbags too.  I do believe they are the minority.  It is emotionally and mentally exhausting for me to continue to read about the fraud and malevolent behaviours of some,while the true professionals go … Read more →
