Poker is human

Banned like a dirty dog from a catholic church
This blog is an honest one. It stems from a personal impulse to communicate to others my experience of online poker. There is no ads and there will never be. I don’t sell anything, or promote any gimmick. The only money I make is at poker sites (0.08$ yesterday at Everest).

Da weekend, da poker, da moron
Jeridyah was not on my side this weekend, or at least partially.
Down, down, down, down, down.
And then down. To 40$. Slaughter.
Then up and up and up, to 180$. This is more like jitterbug than swing.
Then I opened up a new account at Everest.
My very first hand ever at Everest (limit SnG, a [...]
Swings
Well, got to have some of them.
Minus 100, plus 80, minus 10: minus 30 total for the time being.
Swings are a direct consequence of other players betting style.
It’s like a boat on a choppy sea and one navigating a pond. You may get seasick or bored respectively.
I wasn’t bored this time.
Another factor: as I [...]
Double or nothing, mostly double
Let’s talk briefly about a quick way to make money, by doubling up most of the times.
The most boring games in all the online poker sites offerings must be the Double-or-Nothing SnGs. I say boring, because most poker players would rather take a shot at the top than be as good as half the players [...]
Reconciliation
Poker is a game of asserting, one card at a time, the intentions of others. Reading a blog, on the other hand, should not be a guessing game.
Why do I write this blog?
RECONCILIATION
You cannot play well if you hate the game, or your opponents, or if your general disposition toward people, after you played a [...]
The empathy of the poker player
I have looked into a particular mental ailment for some time now, since I do believe to suffer from a mild version of it: autism.
Autism prevents its sufferers from normal contact with the rest of human kind. It’s as if the autistic lives in a bubble, outside the reach of fellow humans: conversation and [...]
Jeridyah, please keep the pot boiling
No poetic justice today: no draws, brick after brick on big cards, bad beats galore:
Hero (all-in post flop)
3h|3d
Vilain
6s|Tc
Flop:
3d|Th|Td|Jd:click|Jh:click
What can you do?
I’ll try later on to write something about the motivations of poker players.
I’m aiming for a full fledge taxonomy of players. The «loose», «tight», «aggressive», «passive» classification does not categorize well enough the players in [...]
Thank you Jesus, one gets a break
Three days ago, I started off by emptying all my accounts at Full Tilt, Party Poker and Poker Stars. I left 12 cents in FT: seemed like a comfortable buffer at the time. Absolute zero, at least in physics terminology, is matter without a trace of movement, vibration or change: death.
On the 22nd, I played [...]
Money is free
Very soon, read about the ups and downs of a freeroller in the world wide tangled poker web of false hopes and true joys.
See you soon!
