Hey guys,
I was about to take the dog for a talk but it started to rain so I thought I'd write a blog. The last few weeks have been awesome. I've been on a sick heater and I don't think I've had a losing day in that time period. Along ...<< MORE >>

What's up guys..
Sorry for the lack of updates I've been pretty busy the last couple days. With the Full Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS) starting this week I thought it would be fun to play some tournaments and maybe break through in a big one. I think I've played 3 ...<< MORE >>

No Complaints
Things are still going good and I'm playing some of my best poker at the moment. I know thats easy to say when you're winning, but I feel like I'm playing my 'A' game a majority of the time. The last couple days I've played a lot of heads-up. Both ...<< MORE >>
Good end to October, Welcome November..
The other night it was like 12:45am I was watching TV and couldn't sleep. I was going to start shooting but I didn't feel like getting stuck and having to stay up super late to get it back. So I started to glance through the tournament section and saw a ...<< MORE >>
Shoot loose
Had an interesting session today. I was losing some pretty gross hands, getting it all in with significant equity and getting sucked out on. But those hands really didn't bother me at all. I think this capped game has helped me control my emotions a bit in all-in pots. You ...<< MORE >>
Sick session
I just finished an absolutely crazy session. Its about 2:30am, I haven't played this late in a while, but the games were so good I just couldn't get up. I've been sticking with the 2/4nl cap games because they are just loaded with fish. I honestly can't believe good regulars ...<< MORE >>
Most Exciting Night of My Life..
The following events take place in chronological order….
It’s Saturday night around 5:30pm and I’m chilling in my boxers watching TV and surfing useless shit on the internet. I clicked ignore on the eight stupid Facebook invitations to clubs I’ve never heard of and caught up on the latest MMA news. ...<< MORE >>

Weekly Update
What's up guys,
Things have been going pretty decent for me lately. I've been crushing the 2/4nl cap game, up around 14 buy-ins. Had a shitty day today, but it was just some short term variance. I'm not too worried. Unfortunately these tables don't run that often and there are only ...<< MORE >>

Recap of last hand
"Chantro wrote:
Fold to J 10"
- This is definitely a possibility and did enter my mind on the river. The only thing though is that this player was pretty snug preflop, only raising 14% of his hands. If he were to raise 10,J preflop ...<< MORE >>
Help
Ok guys I just played an interesting hand and I'm having trouble wrappinng my head around it. I'm going to post the hand and please comment on what you would do and why. I have to post the hand in text form because I don't want to show what I ...<< MORE >>
?
Things have turned around a bit in the 2/4NL cap games I was talking about in my last blog. The last 1500 hands I've managed to win like 7 buy-ins which is nice. I had a bit of a lazy weekend and didn't play too much, but I was able ...<< MORE >>
Chop chop chop
No, I don't mean chopping in tournaments... My last 3 or 4 all-ins in a cash game as resulted in a chop. And not because we've had the same hands, but because the board keeps running out to chop. Before I show you the hands I'll let you know these ...<< MORE >>
Happy Thanksgiving
Hey Guys.. Sorry for the lack of updates, but to be honest there wasn't too much to write about. I was home all weekend for Thanksgiving and wasn't able to play a whole lot. I did manage to sneak in a few thousand hands and ran pretty decent, but other ...<< MORE >>
Need to work harder..
My title kinda says it all. I really need to work harder and log in more hours. I know I sound like a broken record, but this time I'm going to stick with it. I need to be putting in at least twice as many hands and twice as many ...<< MORE >>
Huh
I had a very unorthodox session today. I sat down and started to open up all my poker programs and scoped out the 1/2NL games. As I was doing that I saw a fish I have tagged sitting by himself with a stack at a 8/16 limit Horse table. I ...<< MORE >>
Today
I took the weekend off from playing after my last session. Well I didn't play any cash games, I did mess around in some sit and go's while I watched some TV. I gave myself a new sit and go challenge for the next few months. Whenever I don't feel like ...<< MORE >>
Dooms Day
Man oh man.. Right when things are going well someone turns on the shit switch and I get crushed today. The best part about it, is that I only played like 600 hands.. thats maybe an hour tops. I even chased some fish up to 2/4NL today and get cold decked ...<< MORE >>

Another Week, Another Hand..
Got back to the grind yesterday and things are continueing to go well. Was able to win like 5-6 buy ins and I feel like I'm making good decisions. I've tweaked a few things in my game after watching a really good video by cardrunners pro Brian Hastings. I was ...<< MORE >>
Heater
Its funny, when I'm on a losing streak I feel like I need to write blogs and vent out my frustration and complain about running bad. But when I'm winning the last thing on my mind
is writing a blog. Needless to say I've been on a sick heater the ...<< MORE >>
Crazy Session
Well I just had a pretty insane 1500 hand session this afternoon. Before playing I decided I was going to play a lower variance style and tighten up a touch. Not because I think its a better way to play, but because the way things have been going lately, I ...<< MORE >>
Hands from the Week
Keeping pace on the month, my sessions have still been extremely swingy. At the end of the weekend and beginning of this week, things pretty solid and I booked some decent wins. Then yesterday came around and I lost pretty much every big pot I played. Ill post the hands later in ...<< MORE >>
Get up you son of a bitch..
Well... Chuck got his ass knocked out. I've been having mixed emotions about it, mostly just pretty sad for the guy. I'm not a huge Chuck fan or anything, but I've been following and cheering for him for years now. And to see him get knocked out by a cocky ...<< MORE >>
Untilted
Ok I'm officially off tilt from my last blog. Its not that poker has gotten that much better, but I regained my common sense and have gone back to rolling with the punches. I have played quite a bit the last couple days and its still been extremely swingy. I'm ...<< MORE >>
Horse shit
Alright, its time for me to cry, bitch and moan about how horrible I'm running and all the bad beats/coolers I'm taking. If you don't feel like listening to me whine like a little bitch, I suggest you skip over this blog. I am aware bad beats/coolers happen to everyone ...<< MORE >>

To be continued...
The last 7000-8000 hands I've played have been annoying and very swingy. I play a somewhat tight aggressive style (tag) more leaning towards a loose aggro style (lag), but by being a little tighter I don't usually have swings live I've been having. Its been insane, one second I'll be stuck ...<< MORE >>
Mid Month Update
We're almost at the middle of the month so I figured I'd update my progress. Overall things are going ok, like I mentioned in my last blog I still haven't played enough hands. The last couple days I was able to get in some long sessions which will help my ...<< MORE >>

Cap it
Me and Eskal were chillin yesterday and both had the itch to shoot some live poker. We've had some pretty epic live sessions together at either Fallsview, Brantford or Port Perry. We decided to shoot some limit to mix things up. Years ago I actually started playing only limit. Back when ...<< MORE >>
Good Start
I've had a decent start to the month and I'm really happy with my play. I've been able to stay focused and play good poker. Although I have made some retarded mistakes where I spewed my chips where I shouldn't have. But I'm not too angry about it, I was ...<< MORE >>
August Goals
Alright after my last blog I sat back and thought of goals I wanted to set for myself during the month of August. I usually don't do things like this but I want to mix things up to try and shake off this downswing. I'm going to make sure all ...<< MORE >>
Frustrating
I just had a ridiculously frustrating day at the tables today. I jumped back up to 200nl as I finished playing my 10k hands at 100nl and I fell right into a shit fan. I played relatively well only making two real mistakes.. but just couldn't win flip situations whatsoever. ...<< MORE >>
Mixing it up
I sat down to start a session and when I started to look at the 6 max No limit holdem tables I had zero desire to start playing. Playing holdem ALL the time can get a bit tiresom and boring when you play it all day everyday. I've always enjoyed ...<< MORE >>
New Responsibility
Whats up guys,
Sorry for the lack of blogs the last week or so, I've been extremely busy and not from poker. Julie and I got ourselves a new puppy and she's been quite the handful. She's a tiny puppy about 1.1lbs right now and will get to be around 3-5lbs. ...<< MORE >>

Weekend Session
I very rarely play poker on weekends, I usually play Monday to Friday and take the weekends off. But this weekend Julie was going away to a cottage with her girlfriends so I had
the condo to myself to play some cards. I debated on going home to Guelph and ...<< MORE >>
Learn Learn Learn
I took off playing today because I wanted to work on some things in my game by reading some poker forums and poker articles written by great players. I haven't been completely satisfied with my game as of late. I've been playing ok, not amazing but not bad by any ...<< MORE >>
Upswing
The cards have been treating me real well so far this month. To tell you the truth, almost a little too well, I haven't had a losing day yet in the month of June. Which gets
a little scary, because poker is a game of swings and when you win ...<< MORE >>
Late Night
So the hockey game is about to go into the 3rd period and I can barely keep my eyes open. I know its not even that late, its like 12:30ish but I've been on a good sleeping
schedule since I moved into my new place and I'm usually sleeping right ...<< MORE >>
Swings
Sorry for the lack of updates, but poker has been absolutely horrible lately and I haven't felt like writing any blogs. Before I started writing this blog I was wondering what I

MMA
So this summer me and my buddy eskal decided we'd look into training mixed martial arts. I've always been a big fan of the UFC and MMA in general and always thought it would be
cool to take some classes. We found a pretty sick school called Toronto BJJ which ...<< MORE >>
Gross
I seriously just had the worst 15 minute session I've ever had. Yes I said 15 minutes, after all these coolers happened I just closed the lid on my laptop because I was about to be sick. I've encountered all kinds of coolers and setups but never like this in ...<< MORE >>
Live One
I started my session earlier today and it was a pretty boring one. I couldn't get shit going, wasn't picking up or making big hands. Just pretty blah. Got into a
couple interesting spots but nothing too excited. I was just about to call it quits for the day till ...<< MORE >>
My Poker Setups (pics)
I've mentioned in my previous blogs that I moved into a new condo downtown with my girlfriend Julie. In my old place I wasn't completely satisfied with my computer poker setup so

Settling In
Well I'm officially moved in to my new place and getting things in order. Thank god. Honestly I hate moving and packing more then anything in the world, its so brutal and
tortorous. I honestly would pay a stupid amount of money to get someone to do it for me ...<< MORE >>
Packing/Moving
Haven't played a lick of poker lately because I'm been packing non-stop for the past 3-4 days. I was also in Owen Sound for my little cousin's confirmation then in Guelph and
haven't even had the chance to be on a computer. I'm actually about to pack this thing up ...<< MORE >>
Moving up
Been getting in a lot of hours at the tables lately and things have really turned around since that shitty weekend in Guelph. I've steadily playing 1/2NL($200) and been running
pretty good. The last week I've been really focusing on fixing some of my leaks so I cut down to ...<< MORE >>
