I’m running cold. In the last 3 days I’ve had a guy pull a ONE-OUTER on me to make a STRAIGHT FLUSH against my nut flush. I’ve lost flush over flush big pots twice with a jack high flush and a queen high flush, twice with only 3 flushcards on the board. Lost set over [...]

I’ll give you the rundown of a hand I almost cried about.
I have AK suited under the gun and I raise 4BB. I flop the nuts with QJT with two of my suit too so I’m on the royal draw on a jellyroll. I bet out knowing one guy behind me is a [...]
Twice a month I sit down in the restaurant of the casino I usually play at with a friend I met at the blackjack tables and now plays in the same poker room on a regular basis to talk poker. We discuss our results and talk about key losing and winning hands and about how [...]
Like every poker player, I dread the days on which I know I play bad, or on which I realize afterwards I was tilting without actually realizing it, thus losing way too much money due to donkeyplay.
Anyway, last night was such a night. Playing $2/$5, luckily, so only losing about $200 in the process. A [...]
I ate a steak at the poker table today, and I wish I hadn’t. Let me tell you a painful story:

Pokernews always picks the right players to interview. This talk they’ve had with Liz Lieu, “The Poker Diva”, on a break of the APPT. She makes sense, talking about tightening up as a relative shortstack close to the bubble…
I know theory says to play aggressive when people tighten up close to the money, but I [...]
The art of (semi-professional) poker playing isn’t just playing your game right – it’s also finding the juicy games, with players willing to donk off large amounts of cash. The world is filled with juicy games – but it’s not always simple to find them… With years of experience looking for poker rooms all over [...]
This is a sickening story, and it’s been told before — so I’m going to point to the original authors here:

The final hand — ten high calldown wtf?

I just won twice with kings vs. aces — pre-flop all-ins. I mean — I’m HOT.
I feel bad too — same opponent saw his aces get cracked in about two hours twice, by the same player…
I called his all-in with a “I sure hope you don’t have them this time”… He did have [...]
