IT Executive learning poker online as a hobby. Hope to be able to supplement my income with some fun money from the felt. Been playing casually since 2007, didn't really get into online poker until May of 2010. Tripped across Outstanding Poker while off work on a medical leave. Needed something to do for 9 weeks while I healed up. Love what I have learned, have been able to directly apply the skills in live home games. Only thing that is missing are the big bubbles over peoples heads with their stats...

Wow, finished my second session in two days; got myself on rakeback which has motivated me to start playing again, and with golf season wrapping up, the home games are back in full swing. Have 2 scheduled this month already, woohoo! live poker, beer, pizza and general rudeness...
Anyway, apparently I am an idiot, some jackass sitting to my left didn't like my play on a couple of hands and had assumed I am a moron. I will let the two hands speak for themselves, as such all
Read more...Continuing my time away from the tables, I am currently reading Stu Ungers biography. It is a very cool read, remarkable story of the guys life, connections to the mob, getting into poker, estimated winnings of 30 million through his life and then dying with $800 in his poket.
Fantastic read if you want a top to bottom story of a wild gambler and arguably the best poker player in history.

Decided to play a bit this morning when I was up at a quarter to hell in the morning. Damn dogs are like having permanent 3 year olds, they are however, the BEST alarm clock on the planet. This particular clock doesn't care if it is Saturday or Sunday, it goes off at the same time every morning...anyway, I ramble on

Read more...Been a while since I have visited the OP site - since getting cleared from my surgeon, I have been playing a lot of golf and now that I am back to work, once again, life seems to be getting in the way of my online poker adventures. To top it all off last week, my freaking laptop battery failed, I have been horiffically corded to the wall and essentially tethered to the basement if I want to use my computer.
Anyway, I imagine my opportunity to play online will become more likely
Read more...Interesting hand in a live home game on Saturday night, the conversation in the forum about Coolers triggered me to post this hand for the world to see.
We are playing a $50NL home game, most pots build up to about $20 a hand, lots of limpers, lots of raiser/re-raisers AND we were short handed Saturday, only 5 of us playing.
Table was pretty tilted one way, our host (relatively good player in my opinion) was our big stack, I was #2 and had made back a buy-in I lost when big st
