Let the online play begin! from tommytwotoes by tommytwotoes

So this weekend I finally ran out of my "fun" money and on Monday I deposited from my official bankroll. So Far I have limited myself to very short sessions about 30 minutes a pop playing 50 cent $1 NL Holdem. Things have gone well as each time i have profited about $60-70, so I cant complain. I wil...

I just don't have time right now. My plan will be to publish all three articles next week, probably on the 26th, 27th, and 28th. Read More >

WCOOP from thejimsheet by thejim

WCOOP stands for World Championship of Online Poker.   It's an annual (as opposed to monthly, like FTOPS) tourney hosted on PokerStars.   I don't know if I played in the Razz event a couple years ago, or not.   I don't think so.   Off the top of my head, I have never played a WCOOP event. ...

My delayed BARGE trip report, which most of you won't "get" anyways... from thejimsheet by thejim

I was a virgin in 2005. I wasn't on the list pre-BARGE, so I didn't know of any virgin status or class or activities, but my impression after the fact was that there wasn't much. I found the group to be clique-y, but also open, and I had a great time. I came back in 2006. I found the group ... Read More >

Month #1 Summary from tommytwotoes by tommytwotoes

Well it was a rocky start on my first month of the 10k Challenge, But the last week or two was good to me. One of the local card rooms provided me with most of my profit. Winstar to my surprise was a losing proposition. And another place in town was a break even spot. $23 an Hour was my pay rate, wh... Read More >

Online NLHE from thejimsheet by thejim

After taking a cashout to cover some expenses, I left myself with a hundred online. I hovered around that level playing a little high (technically, although I don't worry too much since I would just reload) at TD, I booked a loss that left me with only about fifty left. So, I've been dabbling in... Read More >

fuckity fuck fuck from thejimsheet by thejim

I just wrote about a gazillion fucking words previewing the NFL, and now it's gone because my goddamn tokens timed out.    I don't even know what the fuck that means.    Lesson learned, I guess.   Shortened version coming tomorrow.   I'm done for now. Read More >

Lock It Up! from tommytwotoes by tommytwotoes

Well like most Tuesday's now a days I spent it at a certain poker room in town. I made a decent score(+$760). There was one hand in particular that created the lion's share of the profit. I had Pocket jacks,was in early position and raised to $17. I get 5 callers. Right before the flop the new wa... Read More >

Baseball from thejimsheet by thejim

I have been convinced, since well before the season started, that this was not to be the Red Sox year. At this point, it looks like our main competition for the wildcard will come from the Central instead of the Yankees. But, I'm starting to get the feeling that if we can sneak in, anything can ...

I flopped Quads! from tommytwotoes by tommytwotoes

So late on Saturday I went to Winstar. I sat down at a table of relatively tight players, and nothing much happened. I lost with a flopped straight to a guy with a higher flopped straight(me:5-2 him:5-7 flop: 346). Luckily he didn't have much in the way of chips, he tried to justify why he was in th... Read More >
