The End.
June 25, 2008
After two and a half years of blogging for CardsChat.com, it is time for me to move on.

It was a disagreement between myself and making a blogging commitment. At […]
June Half-time - Vacation!
June 14, 2008
I only mentioned in passing how poker has been going in the last post, so this time I figured I’d give you one of them graphs you’re all so fond of. June first through present. Enjoy!

May 31, 2008
So one month and 15k hands at 50NL :
If I look at how I’ve changed my game this month, it’s primarily become more aggressive and I’ve loosened up quite a lot in position. The last week of May, I played a 22/18/2 style, and the first week of May it was 18/13/2.7. That’s actually a […]
