Dealing with Aggressive Poker Players Out of Position, -4BI Day
Aggressive players with position against me hurt my winrate during yesterday’s play at 50NL poker tables. I lost almost 4 buy-ins in Expected Value by not playing well and trying to recoup my losses. At one point I managed to show a profit, but quickly gave it back and decided it would be a 3-hour [...]
43 Dollars per Hour at Poker Micro Stakes, +7BI Day
A quick post of yesterday’s +7 buy-ins day at $50NL, including some hopefully interesting poker stats. Friday has been the fourth winning day in a row this month playing at micro stakes. I ran at 16bb/100 or 8BB/100, although the W$SD% stat was disappointing at just 46%, hurting my overall W$SD% that is one of [...]
Two Poker Leaks at HUD that Cost Money, +8BI Day
Net won figure of yesterday’s poker performance reads $740 at $50NL tables but the EV adjusted winnings were 8 buy-ins, ranking the day as the most profitable one, since I began posting again about poker.

Catching River Bluffs and Thin Value Bets, +3BI Day
Catching a river bluff and a thin value bet are two poker hands of my yesterday’s session that helped me win 3 buy-ins at $50NL PokerStars tables. Once again I’m talking about the EV adjusted winnings and not the actual ones, since I’d be bragging about a 7-buyin day! I also noticed that the poker [...]
5 Buy-in Downswing in Micro Stakes, Tens vs Queens Hand Analysis
Murphy’s law states that by publishing your poker winnings, a downswing is expected in the near future. Since my poker start over at micro stakes went public on Monday, I suffered a 5 buy-in downswing during yesterday’s 6-hour poker session. It was actually three 2-hour sessions for 6 hours of total play, as breaks are [...]
Starting over from Micro Stakes Poker, Moving Up to $50NL
You might remember me playing poker at high stakes, winning $17K pots and losing 30 grand in one day! Those poker days have come and gone. Poker hasn’t been exactly my favorite hobby during the past months, focusing on trading and website development instead. Reasons include Black Friday events and consequences, law changes in many [...]
