I stumbled across a nice poem written by the father of a professional poker player that is a friend of a friend that sums up my beliefs. I hope you enjoy it! The Universe Conspired to Help The man had a dream He knew what he wanted, it seems Once he was sure in his heart this was it He vowed someday that he would achieve it He wasn’t quite ready to do his...

I was playing the $200 – $500 No Limit Hold ‘Em game at MGM Grand Detroit the other night. Seat 1 is a loose player and makes it $25 to go pre-flop. Seat 3 had not played a hand in two hours. He min-raises to $50. Getting two-to-one on my money, I call from seat 9. Pre-flop, I put seat 1 on nothing significant and seat 3 on A-Q. I have 4-5 off on the...

I am in seat 9 listening to seat 7 and seat 10 talk about how you need to have quads or better to win at this table because of the sick one and two-outers this guy is hitting on the river. Sure enough, for the next two hours, his chip stack doubles – all...

I was involved in the largest pot of the night in my last session. Unfortunately. There was a tight, experienced player at the table that stayed out of my pots for several hours. We played together before, and I think there was mutual respect. Besides, I had position on him. All of a sudden, he moves to an open seat that gave him position on me. I figured he was...
