Tip Of The Month

Ok so Merge has on the last Sunday of every month freerolls you can play depending on how many vip's you have earned. So I have earned enough to enter the $2,000 which doesn't require you to use the vip points on them to enter so wont effect your Rakeback manager. So I came in 6th place out of 358 players and won $80.00 weee 1st place paid $500.00 . Here are the Last Sunday of the month Tourneys

Also on Sat they have the 150 Seats they give away for the $109.00 $150,000 gurantee tourney
I'm not much of a tourney player anymore but what I am trying to say is take advantage of things like these. Also if your trying to start out with a small bankroll play those Fun steps you can play 10 of the #1s a day and you should prob be able to make $15.00 or so a month playing them. If your a member Of Cardschat which is free to register go here and I posted how I would play them http://www.cardschat.com/f57/fun-steps-209221/#post1899105 by the way your step #2 and #3 tickets expire in 7 days when you save them  .look for Good Rake also when joining a site . Anyway most of you know these things already but every extra little tip can help us out in the long run trying to build a bankroll at poker . Ok I am off to go grind thanks for reading Chris

 Anyone can win at anything if they try hard enough

I had to pay a Life long Fee to a Poker Player

                                                         "Click it for Charity"

So Last night I was doing a little skyping with one of the Top 25NL & 50NL winners. I actually met him well I was playing online . I seen that he was a very good player and winner so I started chatting with him at the online tables . Yes, he responded when I asked if he would coach , he gave me his Skype name So we have talked a few times but last night he was going over some hands I had played and told me how he would have played them. I think like out of about ten hands only one he said well done lol . And gave me some other pointers , then later on he said he has coached friends and sweated them and they do so well when he is there telling them how he would play the hands then after he leaves they start playing horrible again .He says he feels like hes not helping anyone. Well I feel like when you teach a dog to catch a frisbee he doesn't catch it on the first time, it takes a while for him to catch on . Yes I will catch on :) .
So after we get all done like at 3:45am,  I told him I would pay him for sweats or coaching , he says nah man something else. What something else? He said  It will be " Your Lifelong fee to me" so he told me to go to
"Click to give" I look at it and say to him ? You want me to give them $35.00 ? he says nah man it's free . You register, then register for the Reminder so you can click on them once a day. He says they send an email so every morning he gets up checks email clicks on them  and that's it. I said what about all the ads below they send me crap? He said nah man only one email that's it. So If you guys are reading this it only takes a few minutes to sign up for it , it's free , and gives us poker players a good feeling for doing our tiny part in helping people out. Takes like 30 seconds of your life every day when you open your email to click on them. What I am really impressed with is, he's a 26 year old guy with a girlfriend that cares about things like this. I might be more impressed about this than how good of a poker player he is lol . Ok so sorry I hate writing long Blogs because most people wont read the whole thing but Thanks for reading if you did .

Got A Ticket Dammm

So I won a ticket today finally , well I think I have played about 6-7 of them so far but this is the first time I came in 150 or better to win a $109.00 ticket to enter the $150,000.00 Sunday Guarantee . I think 1st place is like $60.000.00 that would be sweet but I will prob be lucky to just sqooze into the money. I have some things to do tomorrow so prob enter in it next week .
And other than that, it has been fair at the  cash tables , I did have a two day span where I had 3 losing sessions in a row total of -$219.82 loss between 25nl and 50nl . Which kinda hurt but when playing 50nl you could lose $200.00 pretty dam fast . That is why having a somewhat good bankroll is important or at least the sense to stop and move down limits until you grind some of it back is so important. I  got it all back  and then some in the last 10 sessions so I feel good about that. That's about it , $109.00 ticket wee it will be my biggest by-in Tourney yet online . Should be fun  . Also here is a  Free video by Al Sousa   http://www.texasholdempoker-stats.com/html/vid_discipline.html   " Fuzzypup " Which is a little different because he talks more about eating good to help the body and mind feel more focused while playing at the tables , saying to eat lots of whole grain products and beans for nutrition . Boy I don't know about the part on not eating Pizza cuz I love pizza yummmmmm . alright I hope you enjoy it and may you " Play your Best and your cards hold up" thanks again for reading.

Taking a shot at 50nl

So I have been tiptoeing and taking little shots at the 50nl tables this month. Just to get my feet wet and see what type of players are sitting at the tables . I think at certain times of the day you get lots of recreational players they really don't know the difference it's only a Quarter or Fifty cents why not sit down and play there . So you will find a lot of half stacks, guys that come in with $25.00 and sit down . The game seems to play out like 25nl so far. I have only put in 999 hands and have run really well so I expect the worse to come shortly lol as typical for me. And i am happy to say they have the Quadrabunga promo this month . I have flopped quads three times so far but all small ones , no face cards yet . 8888 for $10.00  , 3333 for $5.00 and 3333 again lol for $5.00 I'm not going to complain I love this promo .. Here are my sessions so far at 50nl lucky like I said so far.


Some day I will grow up and be like "Rosh" I hope , anyhow all is well and we are starting to get nice weather here so happy,happy,happy take care and thanks for reading . Chris
