In The Land Of The Blind...: May 2011
http://hoopie1-inthelandoftheblind.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
In The Land Of The Blind. Poker, football and whatever else is on my tiny mind. Monday, 16 May 2011. If you can’t be good…. I remember looking back a couple of years ago at a post on Clarkatroid’s blog that said that when people convert from tournaments to cash (as many do), it is important that they run well, as many run bad, will simply think that they suck at cash games and quit them, without ever having the opportunity to discover whether they were winning or not. Full Tilt provided another update.

Quantitative Poker: 20 thoughts on skill vs. chance in poker, part 10: Games of skill vs. "involving skills"
http://www.quantitativepoker.com/2012/09/20-thoughts-on-skill-vs-chance-part-10.html
Math beyond the odds. Saturday, September 15, 2012. 20 thoughts on skill vs. chance in poker, part 10: Games of skill vs. "involving skills". Poker is a game of skill. Poker involves skills to play. The landmark U.S. vs. DiCristina case. Similarly, other card games commonly considered gambling, such as blackjack, demand talents similar to those employed in poker, requiring skilled players to take advantage of known odds. While Weinstein disagrees with this argument, going on to make some observations as ...

Quantitative Poker: 20 thoughts on skill vs. chance in poker, part 9: Common intuitive proxies for skill and chance in games
http://www.quantitativepoker.com/2012/09/20-thoughts-on-skill-vs-chance-part-9.html
Math beyond the odds. Friday, September 14, 2012. 20 thoughts on skill vs. chance in poker, part 9: Common intuitive proxies for skill and chance in games. In the last thought, we've seen that there's not a good basis for developing formal, quantitative measures of comparison of skill and chance between games. Slipping away from the abstract and back into the real world, however, there are plenty of ways to draw practical comparisons between poker and games considered not to be games of chance. The sampl...

Just the facts... a low stakes poker blog: Interesting "reg" hand from 'Shoe - what would you do?
http://lowstakeshands.blogspot.com/2015/07/interesting-reg-hand-from-shoe-what.html
Monday, July 20, 2015. Interesting "reg" hand from 'Shoe - what would you do? I'm settled into a nice session, around $800 deep at $1/3, playing against two regs with $300 each. These are competent, thinking regs. Tight reg 1 in EP raises to $15, gets called by thinking reg 2 and me (5h4h), in addition to 3 other players - we see a Td9dTc flop with $90 in the pot. Click to see results. Posted by The Poker Meister. What would you do? July 20, 2015 at 10:04 AM. July 20, 2015 at 10:17 AM. I guess it serves ...

http://lowstakeshands.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 30, 2015. Again trying new things at the table. I've been posting some oddities / things I'm doing off-norm to experiment with live play and see where it takes me. Last week, I posted a hand where I decided to flop / squeeze a wet board with blanks. Into what seemed like a weak cbet, scared of flopped trips. It backfired in my face :-). However, I did get a cool comment out of it: I have "balls of steel." Nice! Anyway, your hero joins the fracas this week with a hand from last night:.

Just the facts... a low stakes poker blog: March 2015
http://lowstakeshands.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 30, 2015. A session recap from Baltimore Horeshoe. My initial observation was that the table was tight - I considered asking for a table change, but figured I'd give it a few orbits. Turns out that there was an ABC player, a grinder or two, two tourists who were scared of their own shadows, and an extra / actor who played a part in season 5 of The Wire. There were 2 hands of note, both involving said actor above:. Am I missing value by checking through? Second hand involves a button straddl...

Just the facts... a low stakes poker blog: A Tale of Two Regs
http://lowstakeshands.blogspot.com/2015/08/a-tale-of-two-regs.html
Monday, August 10, 2015. A Tale of Two Regs. Do you fancy yourself a pro? As I alluded to in last week's post. Is she uncomfortable with the amount of money on the table? Does he want the social aspect of the game? Look, you consider yourself a pro. If you work at a professional job, do you drink on the job? Then why are you drinking at the table? If you work at a professional job, do you play on your cell phone in between answering emails of phone calls? Just some thoughts I wanted to put down. Anonymou...

Just the facts... a low stakes poker blog: Thursday's session summary
http://lowstakeshands.blogspot.com/2015/06/thursdays-session-summary.html
Monday, June 1, 2015. Nothing much to talk about from last week's session. I was playing well, but variance was certainly my enemy. I had a bunch of stupid hands where they should have held and / or won, but suckouts got the better of me. I'm going to post them as whining, just to get them off my chest. Hand 3: Limps 8-way around to me in the BB and I look down at JJ. I raise to $30. UTG calls ($12 behind - yes $12! Behind), folds around to another shorty who calls ($35 behind - yes $35! FWIW, I folded.
