Review of Bahamas Part II & III

Part II – Cash Games
With only one cash in live tournament play in the Bahamas, I had to focus some attention on the big cash games at the Atlantis.
I initially started out playing $10/$25 NL and was doing pretty well. But right after my 8 Game final table, I was still feeling [...]

Remembering the Bahamas

Spring is almost here. The Bahamas in January seems so long ago now but it sure was a nice start to 2010. It is always one of my favorite stops each year on tour and I look forward to it.
Overall, I ended up breaking about even on the trip. I [...]

The Commerce Spa

I woke up early this morning to get some work done and then sat down in my usual NLH cash game. I played for about 6 hours and broke dead even, I was starting to get tired and it wasn’t a great game anyway so I decided to take a break. They just …

UBOC Recap

UB came out with a great schedule of tournaments this year for UBOC 4. I decided this year I was going to jump in with both feet and play as many tournaments as I could stand for the 11 days. My tournament volume had not been very high for quite some time. I turned away [...]

Recent Online Play Success

I mentioned in my previous blog that I have been staying home and playing a ton online at UltimateBet.com. My play really hasn’t consisted of any cash game play, however. I have played some SNGs, but really I have focused only on the scheduled tournaments.
Last week, I decided that I wanted to win the Weekly [...]

UB on the Brain…

Its true — its almost 4 am, I’m sitting here catching up on my Los Angeles-based TiVo (as opposed to the shows on my Vegas DVR) and of course grinding away at some low-stakes Omaha 8-or-better action on the all-new UB.com!  I realize that over the past year or so, I’ve gradually begun to incorporate [...]

A working weekend

I didn’t do much of anything besides play poker and magic this weekend. 
Saturday I played the Bellagio $1k, event #2 of the Five Diamond series.  I bluffed off half my stack to an old man, and I knew absolutely 100% what he had.  I thought he could fold it, but I was wrong.  He limped [...]

New UB

What’s up new and improved UB’ers! Digging the new look of the site? I am.
New look, new features, UB onwards and upwards!
Now let’s get the Mac client equal to (or better than!) the Windows client and I will be a very happy man.
I am such a weirdo that I’ve only been playing the Mac client [...]
