Feeling The Pinch From Playing Too Long Online 2007-11-08 08:03:00 So what they say is true, the common ailments from working in front of computers for too long. I have been getting shoulder and neck aches and lately burning sensation on the eyeballs. Trying to be a better poker player and better blogger seem a little too much a feat to do.Finally bought this Ammeltz YokoYoko~for stiff shoulder and muscular aches after seeing a colleague using one. At least it saves me a few trips in advance from the massage parlor, for the moment.A trip of live games doesn't help relieve the ache either. Damnit. There is no shame in playing low levels. Playing levels above your own is not good. Ambitious for me perhaps. Because it is just reality. Crap. ...

A Business Point Of View On Playing Poker: An Orthodox Methodology 2007-11-02 03:52:00 came to me one day that you can see poker as a business entity or something similar to doing trading stocks/shares online. It all has its own share of risks and rewards. With bigger stakes, comes greater responsibilities to the investments you made. Most people will see this is where the excitements comes in.Well i have been experimenting with ring games which is where the enlightenment comes. I consider that at this stage i am a micro level player. If you know me well, i played more tournaments than i can count those ring games.Main ThoughtsInevitably, you will lose money playing poker. Yes, if you play poker you will lose money. If you have looked at a graph plotting your progress, you will realise the common ups and downs. Even looking at other player's graph, you will see again the up and down spikes.When starting to play poker, it's all good and all about chasing the money. To be one of those to reach that destination. To be in the selectable group where poker gods and goddess ...

WBCOOP 2007 Revisited 2007-10-15 07:26:00 "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" A few hands after the first break, i have fallen. With slightly less than 1400 brave men to begin, everyone was given 10,000 chips to start.The blind structure was 15mins per level. You can expect to slug it out for 4-6hrs to make it to the bubble. I was battling on another front at the same time when this started. It was promising over there and i did make it to their curry puffs.While the battle was marching on at Pokerstars, i didn't really make much play and in the end was overwhelmed. The journey to my quest soon ended. ...

Malaysia Casino Redux 2007-10-11 14:36:00 There has been too much poker tournament going on. In fact it is hard for the eye to stay glued for long because there will always be something coming up.

A Malaysia Poker Dream 2007-10-04 12:33:00 When you think of poker what would come to mind? Casino, cigarette smokes, fat people. I am developing a flabby belly now due to sitting for too long. In Malaysia, there is only one casino but it doesn't have poker game. The casino sits on a hill and provides a theme park but no poker game. It is a sad case. I do not know when this can change. I do not know when poker players here can play a game in a valid casino or card room like in the Philippines.Somehow met a blogger from Brisbane that took up my idea to put a post on casino in Brisbane in his blog. From what i was told there are lots of no money prize tournaments around the city run mainly by bars. Interesting, perhaps i should move there and start blogging from there.On another note, i came to this clip that was circling around the net of a professor giving his last lecture. A 47-year old dying professor giving a talk in his university on his childhood dreams. It is slightly less than 2 hours. I enjoyed watching it. What do yo ...

Be A Poker Blogger And Get A Job 2007-10-01 12:09:00 I know i am guilty of not being really a conversationalist here at my blog. But this is because i am trying to put up a post that is value for time of visitors and readers that came here. I will try to get better myself as i go on.Well i've been meaning to post this up for some time. Recently, i saw this call for poker bloggers on the job board at Problogger.net.

In analogy to that it would be a poker player turn professional.His blog is good. I read his blog and try to learn something from time to time.

The Meaning Of Donk Explained 2007-09-28 17:28:00 I am no expert with words so i am going to draw several explanations from the respectable online urbandictionary.com which contains all the definitions to slangs. It even have the meaning to the famous Australian slang "crikey!". If you want to find out what it means, you can copy that word/slang and search it there.The SlangsFrom the urban dictionary;DonkA donk simply means a bad poker player.DonkamentsHere i briefly sum it up; "A donkament is a poker game/tournament mainly consisted of a large pool of unskilled players.From there you can add something along the line like, donk fest, donkalicious, donkarama, and lately bodonkey (bodog donkament). Well mostly the tournaments were organised by bloggers and sometimes with a unique password that you can get a kick laughing at it. Since i started blogging not too long ago, might as well find out what bloggers mostly do.Donkey TestMoving right along, besides tournament there is also a test that you might need to take to gauge on your poker ...

Predictions For Online Poker Jottings 2007-09-26 17:06:00 I have recently looked up the pagerank for this blog and it was predicted it would have a pagerank of 2. After 3 months i thought the best i could hope for would be (if it's even possible) to just get 1. I thank those who helped me directly or indirectly along the way.I know there are lots of blogs started out the same way and just faded after sometime. I do not know how far this blog will go but i hope it can continue to go as far as possible. There are plenty of 'how-to' or 'bad beat' blogs that this one just shouldn't be adding to the clutter.All in all, i am quite satisfied it is where it is. I am still awed how those people generate hits. After all hits equate revenue, comments, readership, opportunities, and many other little things. But does it really matter?*Somehow after this post was made, my pagerank fell back to 0. :(Technorati Tags: pagerank ...
