For my first hand, I post out of position and am dealt A7o. When the flop comes A77, it looks like I’m in for a good night! http://www.stealtheblinds.net/2008/11/06/a-new-start/feed/ http://www.stealtheblinds.net/2008/11/06/a-new-start/ http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/StealTheBlinds/~3/412238101/ http://www.stealtheblinds.net/2008/10/05/do-not-use-nationwide-relocation/#comments Sun, 05 Oct 2008 22:39:59 +0000 Beck http://www.stealtheblinds.net/?p=329 The movers picked up my things on August 26. They delivered them on September 25. I’m finally moved in and back online, and apologies for the long silence after all the hundred-thousand-hands-hype, but things have not exactly been smooth on my side of the keyboard. Major moving bad beat. For your [...] http://www.stealtheblinds.net/2008/10/05/do-not-use-nationwide-relocation/feed/ http://www.stealtheblinds.net/2008/10/05/do-not-use-nationwide-relocation/ http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/StealTheBlinds/~3/374002902/ http://www.stealtheblinds.net/2008/08/25/100000-hands-of-online-poker/#comments Mon, 25 Aug 2008 06:03:40 +0000 Beck http://www.stealtheblinds.net/?p=328 So Belize was great. Scuba diving, Mayan ruins, waterfalls, swimming, hammocks, snorkeling, manatees. Also, bugs. And tropical cocktails and Belizian beer (Belikin–good stuff). And lots and lots of sun. Packing up the home has been less fun. On the upside, I could build a really awesome fort out of all the [...] http://www.stealtheblinds.net/2008/08/25/100000-hands-of-online-poker/feed/ http://www.stealtheblinds.net/2008/08/25/100000-hands-of-online-poker/ http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/StealTheBlinds/~3/357716846/ http://www.stealtheblinds.net/2008/08/06/something-else-ive-somehow-never-seen/#comments Wed, 06 Aug 2008 20:05:53 +0000 Beck http://www.stealtheblinds.net/?p=327 Where’s a bad beat jackpot when you need one? http://www.stealtheblinds.net/2008/08/06/something-else-ive-somehow-never-seen/feed/ http://www.stealtheblinds.net/2008/08/06/something-else-ive-somehow-never-seen/ http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/StealTheBlinds/~3/356808506/ http://www.stealtheblinds.net/2008/08/05/the-long-awaited-match-up/#comments Tue, 05 Aug 2008 22:50:11 +0000 Beck http://www.stealtheblinds.net/?p=325 As much as poker bloggers love talking about the hammer (yes, I know, the hammer was soooo 2005), I’d never actually seen someone run 7-2 offsuit into aces before. And now I have. And I have the screenshot to show you. Incidentally, the pot WAS raised preflop. The names have been blacked out to [...] http://www.stealtheblinds.net/2008/08/05/the-long-awaited-match-up/feed/ http://www.stealtheblinds.net/2008/08/05/the-long-awaited-match-up/ http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/StealTheBlinds/~3/353650677/ http://www.stealtheblinds.net/2008/08/02/the-future-plans-timelines-and-an-interesting-hand/#comments Sat, 02 Aug 2008 15:59:53 +0000 Beck http://www.stealtheblinds.net/?p=324 This coming Friday (08/08/08) I’m getting married. Two days after that, I leave for my honeymoon in Belize. I return some time around the 18th, but then on the 25th, I’m moving to California (any readers in the Berkeley/Oakland area feel free to drop me an email/comment/whatever).

I have no idea how many people read this site via other feeds (or whether feed burner actually captures that number already), or how many people just go directly to the page.

They remember the bad luck and forget the good. They usually require at least more than 10 seconds to forget the one for the other though. Planing in an online NLHE game, I limped on the button behind several [...] http://www.stealtheblinds.net/2008/07/23/blinders/feed/ http://www.stealtheblinds.net/2008/07/23/blinders/ http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/StealTheBlinds/~3/342924492/ http://www.stealtheblinds.net/2008/07/22/poker-ponderings-12/#comments Tue, 22 Jul 2008 21:37:09 +0000 Beck http://www.stealtheblinds.net/?p=320 A lot of people hate pocket jacks. I love ‘em. I think they’re pretty easy to play. They’re a good excuse to re-raise preflop so as to keep pressure on your opponents. They’re easy to get away from when over cards come and an opponent gets stubborn. If you’re not [...] http://www.stealtheblinds.net/2008/07/22/poker-ponderings-12/feed/ http://www.stealtheblinds.net/2008/07/22/poker-ponderings-12/
