The wide world of Java

Poker first, I finally broke the $100 mark playing $0.50/$1. I am undecided if I want to repeat this goal and continue at $0.50/$1 for the $200 mark, or if I want to go back to $1/$2 short handed. I only played a total of 63 minutes this week, pulling in $51 to [...]

A frustrating grind ended well

After playing almost 4 hours today, and never being up more than $10, my last three hands of the evening brought in $18, which sadly, only left me up about $17 for the day. I am still working on my $100 goal for $.50/$1, and unless I start playing more, its going to take [...]

$100 goal

I just finished Internet Texas Hold’em: Winning Strategies from an Internet Pro by Matthew Hilger. Hilger gets credit for this goal, and the goal is to rack up $100 net winnings at $.50/$1. This post is a little late, since I started the goal last weekend, but I have learned a few things [...]

Waiting for the blinds, don’t do it.

Why is it, when you need to stop, and you wait for the blinds to come back around, you only loose money during that time. My new rule is, if I am up and I need to leave, then I will get up immediately. Two of the three sessions I have played yesterday [...]

Study Study

I have been studying during the week, as planned. Party has another bonus going on that I found out about today, and I signed up, of course, but only for half of it, so 700 hands to clear. That should be much less stressful and much more profitable. 107 hands down, and [...]

Hitting the books

It amazes me that I have advanced to the point where poker is profitable, but still answer the hand quizes wrong more than 50% of the time. There are a lot of bookmarks in the middle of poker books sitting on my desk and its about time that is corrected.
I have played [...]

Someone reads my blog

Thanks for signing up to party under my bonus code. I thought only 3 people read my blog, and none of them had signed up for Party yet. Of course, it could also be a fluke, and someone just signed up with bonus code QUINN to see if it worked. That would [...]

Neteller Nebank update

You can fund your Party account with IGMPAY from your Netbank account and then fund your Neteller account from Party. This takes about a week if you deposit into a dry Party account and withdraw the same day. Of course, if you already have cleared funds in your Party account, this process should [...]

Netbank Neteller update

Transfering from Netbank to Party via IGMPAY and then from Party to Neteller works. They don’t recognize your initial deposit, since it is not really a deposit, so you have to call customer service, they then do the phone verification and activate your account. Since there is no bank account linked to my [...]

Is this a turning point?

I have two winning days this week and two loosing days this week. Three winning sessions, and four loosing sessions. I am even making above minimum wage right now in my 3 hours 22 minutes of poker play.
I might not be on the road to profitability yet, but things are starting [...]
