May recap
Well, May is over (at least there'll be no more poker in the next hour) and it has been a good month. My first four months of poker officially ended in the se

Free money
Now, I've done a fair amount of bonus hopping in my time as an online poker player, but I've never received money that was quite this "free". This morning when
Sunday afternoon at the tables
Same old, same old at the tables this afternoon, but that's not a bad thing. Played a little 4-table 25PL at Party this afternoon. Started off badly slow-pla
Intertops $1500 freeroll
Well, this post will be much shorter than yesterday's. The tournament had 218 entries, but I think just about half of them were no-shows and were slowly blinde
Congrats Fossilman
My lord I can be long-winded, can't I. I apologize to anyone who read my monster tournament report from last night. But the one important thing I did forget
Intertops $3000 freeroll
Well, tonight was the night for the $3000 freeroll at Intertops I qualified for by playing 1500+ raked hands in the past month. Not that difficult when 1050 of
Dave Scharf at the Big One
I discovered pokerforum.ca last night through an ad in Canadian Poker Player and was happy to find a nice Canada-focused poker forum. Still not firm info on so
Not-so ultimate ultimate
I managed to make my second ultimate game tonight (third game for the team) and I was to make another decent showing for myself. I had heard rumours that our c
Pokerstars simulcast
Pokerstars is apparently hosting a simulcast of the WSOP final table today. Sounds like they are plugging in the hands to a special tournament table so that me
WSOP Final Table Start
I don't know about the rest of you, but I've been sitting at the Pokerstars "simulcast" table for the past 45 minutes waiting to see the results of the first ha
First foray in 2-4
Wednesday means volleyball and unfortunately I missed out on an online tournament I was invited to play in so that I could knock the ball around. At least the
Tuesday Meltdown
Well, I knew it was bound to happen. If you don't count the 20+2 buy-in to the WBT3, I had been on a winning streak going back over a month. Not one losing se
Long weekend
This weekend is a long weekend in Canada (Monday is Victoria's Day) and I managed to book Friday off, so I was able to get a much needed break from work. I dec
Volleyball
Wednesday night means beach volleyball again. After our good showing last week in the ranking games, we actually ended up placed in the Competitive division in
Monday night's alright for poker
There's something about a Monday night at the poker tables that is good for my bankroll. It could be because that is the only night I've really had to spend in
Tournament Poker
Two weeks have gone by since my last home hold'em tourney so this Friday it was time for the next one. It's just a basic $20 pot-limit hold'em tournament, with
Choice Poker stole my money
I'm taking a page from Tao of Poker and recounting my own experience with Choice Poker (not going to bother linking it, as no one should be giving them money at

Fifteen minutes until this week's poker blogger tournament, organized by the poker blogfather himself. When I logged into Pacific Poker, where the tournament i
Sportscentre
Well, I've been busy, busy, busy. Haven't had the time to keep up with blogs let alone post to my own. Spring sports season started this week and I had my fir
Monday at the tables
I'm back with another time delayed post, this time from Monday. Had another great night at the pot-limit tables. I finally got around to opening an Intertops
Art shows
I had been getting back in swing of regular posts last week until work came back and kicked me in the ass. I did have a few half written posts that I didn't ha
Thursday night poker
After the art shows, I managed to get a little bit of poker in. The PL25 tables have been treating me well for the past while so I was wondering how long I cou
Bad calls
What is it that causes us to make a call when we know that we are beat? We are virtually certain we are behind in the hand and our outs of so few, they might a

Go Flames!
What a hockey game! Almost worth staying up until two in the morning to finish watching. Unfortunately, my poker play was not quite as exciting, unless you

This news story gave me a much needed laugh in an otherwise frustrating day. Hopefully it may do the same for you. Party Barge Flips Over Near State's Only
PL craziness
I just sat down at a $25PL at Empire to break another long streak away from the table. I throw 50 cents in to sit and get dealt 43 of hearts. No one raises an
