I host a poker tournament at my house every other month. Including last night, I have won 3 of the last 4 times I have hosted. I am not complaining. I like winning and I have no qualms taking money from my guests.
Lately, I've been playing in two regular games: ...

I'm not sure why I'm awake. My sleep schedule is totally out of whack. I was on a good roll and feeling really good. I think most of that was due in large part to the boot camp exercise class I was taking. When the 8-week session ended, I decided ...

I had an interesting hand in the $0.25/$0.50 cash game I played after the tournament finished last night. I was dealt K9 in the big blind. There were a few limpers and I checked my option.
The flop comes [6 6 9]. I bet about half the pot and everyone folds ...

The host would be me.
I had poker at my house last night. We had a good crowd; 17 people showed. There weren't a lot of memorable hands for me, which hopefully means that I played solid poker. I'm just glad I won. I had a rough couple of days playing ...

There were 6 players. The blinds were 300/600. I had about 6500 in chips. There were two people with shorter stacks ...

There's a guy I play poker with who likes to point out people's physical tells. But, he doesn't do it at the table. At the table, he'll tell you that later, in private, he'll tell you, so he doesn't give away your "secret" to anyone.
To be honest, if I picked ...

For the past 8 months or so, I've been hosting poker regularly on the first Thursday of every other month, which was last night. When I first started playing poker semi-regularly, my poker group consisted entirely of my co-workers. When I say "semi-regularly", I mean "semi-regularly". Someone would decide to ...

So, I sold my Van Halen tickets and opted to play poker instead. I'm glad I did because I won! It was a smaller than normal game with only 10 people and I walked away with about $130 profit. I don't think I've cashed in a home tourney in about ...
