Pushing Another Milestone 2007-12-09 14:45:00 After having said about the coming New Year in a post below, improving on my blog is part of the things i've been working on. Seeing that the New Year will be coming very soon, i will be putting up a series on the type of poker games labelled under "POKER GAME BASICS".For easy browsing it will be available under 'categories' on the sidebar. Everyone is free to comment. I will edit it accordingly. This will be something to start the year with.It won't be something that hard to do and not something that you probably don't know about if you are a hardcore player. If you share the same interests and passion for the game, feel free to check it out.p.s: Artwork by baron crovax from life's little procrastinations at baroncrovax.blogspot.com ...

The Year That Was And A New Hope 2007-12-08 17:45:00 The month of November has passed and the year-end of 2007 is approaching. With it comes, Christmas and New Year celebrations. Shopping centres already geared up with those occasions firstly with Christmas now and later on definitely with welcoming New Year 2008!If you have been playing poker at most online poker rooms, you would've been receiving email newsletters on new bonuses.Putting that aside, so what plan do you have for in year 2008? Better yet, how was year 2007? Great - Fantastic - Amazing? Entering into year 2007 was rough for me. Having lost a job and scurrying to find another while not forgetting the troublesome times in between, it sucks real bad. Got a job and started playing poker some 6 months ago or so. What do you know, playing poker is cool.For that i am grateful to one person.Pretty much the same for this blog, i played from ground zero. Started from one place and later to two sites, now i have spread the seed to multiple sites. But only two dominant accounts. Yo ...

Pokerstars APPT Freeroll 2007-12-02 16:11:00 I have previously mentioned about Pokerstars APPT. APPT stands for Asia Pacific Poker Tour, simply a poker tournament tour all around Asia. The stopover started from Philippines to Korea to Macau and the last one in Australia. There's been various tournaments unleashed to get the frenzy going.Taking a peek at the recent ended APPT freeroll rd2, there are 233 qualifiers from rd1 and only the winner takes all (that's right winner goes to Australia).In rd2, a big chunk of the players came from the Philippines followed by Japan and China. Other countries in it; Malaysia (4), Singapore (11), Korea (17) as well as some from Thailand, India, Hong Kong, Taiwan..(you can only assume they entered correctly the details corresponding from where they came from).When looking at the list of players and their cities one by one, you began exclaiming to yourself, "wah, not another filipino city again!". You will tend to learn more new filipino cities than cities from other countries. Their people numb ...

The Hidden 5,000 Buddha Palm Poker Manual 2007-11-23 06:36:00 Ya man, not that it really exist. But what is true is that this blog is closing in 6 months of age. It ages as the journey continues. In hope of obtaining the holy grail a lot of dedication been put in. Changes been made here and there.Finally, the google search box been replaced with a better one from Lijit. It is free for all. It is very easy to use, install and customize to the theme of this blog. You can change the size to your liking. Besides able to do search for relevant keywords from the blog it also extends to web searches also.From what i can see, it seems to be using google engine only not google. But there's actually more benefits, you'll have to search it up Lijit site to find out don't you.Poker wise, have not been playing as much for the week as it seems my mind just shut down and wandered off elsewhere. Played at Pokerstars APPT freeroll. Often times, i would register for the game and later be sitting out as i fell asleep. Oh well, hope to recharge and get back in f ...

Aggressivo : Can You Explain Them? 2007-11-18 23:38:00 So, you play aggressive poker huh?. The general perception that aggressiveness equates masculinity stands tall. If you are small in size, you are weak. If you are big, you are strong.Yin and Yang, everyone? So why do they play that way? Is it possible to understand them? Or they are just weird creature roaming around naked with their long tentacles, i mean leg.It is a meaty subject.With this, i leave you with a quote from someone special. It will be a mystery until i reveal it next week. Actually it refers to some other matter. With some imagination, you can get the picture."They are very clever, brave and have an insatiable curiosity... unfortunately the are also very greedy and like to take forcibly territories and rights of other people." ...

Bankroll Management : A Failed Experiment 2007-11-18 03:30:00 Was trying out this experiment that i had in mind to see how it goes. Well, it is just one of the many places that i have been playing. So i was saying to myself, let's put it all into an experiment. Afterall, it was not the site where i was trying to concentrate on. Just for a little variety, you know.The experiment took about a week long but in actual only a few days when i played it during my off-days. The idea was to take the small sum i have from their tournament and play in the lowest possible limit games. And once in a while i played it at the turbo sngs.It went alright. What i couldn't make it in the sngs, i would recover back from the limit games. All in all, it would just get back even. The day came when there's really opportunity to play more and longer.You see the occasional ups and downs. The longer the games, the longer i really want to get it over with. The thing is, after playing a few hours i was already playing in default mode. My mind was not there anymore and i c ...

The Much Anticipated Malaysia Poker Tournament In Casino De Genting 2007-11-11 19:10:00 I have got my Genting WorldCard. It has finally arrived. Last week actually. I was ecstatic as i took it directly from my postman's hands after 2-3 weeks wait. I would not have bothered to apply it if not for the much anticipated Malaysia's first freeroll poker tournament.I have previously posted about the poker tournament in my previous post Malaysia casino redux. I was also asking on the type of Genting WorldCard needed to qualify as there are different statuses to each WorldCard. However as new information surfaced, i am not that happy anymore.One of the pokermalaysia forum members personally uncovers the details to the Malaysia poker tournament:----------Genting Poker ChallengeDate: 7 - 9 December 2007Time: 8.00pm onwardsVenue: Casino De GentingPrize money: RM 50,000Entry fee: 1 (one) Genting PointMembers Card Type: Green and SilverGenting Premier Poker TournamentDate: 14 - 16 December 2007Time: 8.00pm onwardsVenue: Casino De GentingPrize money: RM 150,000Entry fee: 5 (five) Gent ...

Google Practices Double Standards On Poker Ads 2007-11-10 04:12:00 My mistake, their Adsense i mean. Well, it is not for everyone. I quote partially from their program policies that, "Sites displaying Google ads may not include:Violent content, racial intolerance, or advocacy against any individual, group, or organization Pornography, adult, or mature content Hacking/cracking content Illicit drugs and drug paraphernalia Excessive profanity Gambling or casino-related content.....Another 10 points more not included here"However, if you frequent other poker blog besides this, you will notice some able to display google ads such as billrini.com. His blog probably rake in traffic by the thousands or maybe x10 per month.I have asked google support, why. They replied and answered that they cannot disclose whatever relationship they may have. Fine. I'll just not use your product then in my future blogging endeavours.IE might not work well here. The fonts might look out of place sometimes. Have been aware about it. Please consider using mozilla for browsing. ... Google
