Today’s Poker Adventure
So, I got off of work and decided to play a few hands on FT. After watching the number of players at my tables dwindle, I decided that I should just bite the bullet and join Party Poker. After a visit to Neteller, and a withdrawal from by bank account, it was time to [...]

Taking The Plunge
I did it. I took $50 and paid into Poker Stars.
I’ve become something of a poker junkie lately, and between Celebrity Poker Showdown and the World Poker Tour I’ve started to get a good feel for the game. Books have been read, and I know that the best thing to do is play [...]
