Oscar, Oscar
Of course, since I was watching the Oscars, I decided I should play some more poker, when I couldn't devote my full attention. I figured the servers would stil

15 seconds of poker
It's hardly even worth posting about, but since I've given up on poker for the day, I decided to keep my promise and make a poker post. Immediately after my pr
15 seconds of fame
I just got back from visiting some friends in Cambridge and instead of taking the nap I meant to, I took a quick shower and sat down at my computer. First thin
Another abbreviated night
Again tonight I only sat down at the tables briefly, but I had some decent cards that held up that I played for maximum value and managed to walk away from the
Back on track
I stole a little time at the poker table and was running very lucky. Unfortunately Empire is still being rather flaky, so it was too painful to play for very l
New Horizons
Well, I've taken a bit of a break from poker playing - and keeping up with my blog, apparently. After the weekend, I was under the 300$ mark, giving me a loss
Live Hold'em
Friday night was the third EPT 20$ buy-in pot limit Texas Hold'em tournament that I've organized. We had 13 people show up, which is a new record. But I think
Curling

One last tournament
I had told myself I was going to call it a night, but after a bit more tidying up, I ended up back at the tables for another 10+1 LHE SNG. I figured I had to m
Ugh
Just busted out in 5th at the tournament. Some bad plays were the main reason. I just need to find some more patience playing in these tournaments.
Bad beat
Just finished a 10+1 LHE SNG. Things started well as I slowly pulled the occasional pot to climb into the chip lead with 3000 in chips. I was able to coast to
SNG success
I just installed the new Pokertracker patch and finally got my tournament from last night successfully imported. At the 5+1 limit SNGs at Party and Empire, I'v
Upward swing
Sat down at a 5+1 SNG tonight to try to bring myself up past a 200$ bankroll at Party Poker again. Made some good and some bad plays in the early rounds as I t
Positively what?
The strangest thing happened tonight. A few weeks back I order a copy of Positively Fifth Street, and it was shipped on Monday and showed up at the office toda
First post
Just bought a new domain (www.provick.ca, should be propagated over the next couple days) and some web hosting services. An hour later I had server access. 15
