Summer Poker Review While passing the halfway point of the 2019 Slow Play Saloon season, I thought we should revisit our beloved blog in an attempt to rile up the masses. 5 Games Left and some of you are still continuing to embarrass yourselves with sub par play or missing tournaments altogether. I thought if I associated players with a famous person this might drive home

Millers new apartment complex As you all know we lost one of our regulars when Mark Miller moved to Florida to become a Scientologist. The pictures below are a small reminder on how much we really wanted him to move away years ago. Sure we will miss his periodic text shares of naked wife or the almost monthly guarantee of him drinking 8 oz Heineken's just so his hands didn't

2016 Slow Play Saloon Year end awards As we look ahead to the 2017 season at the slow play saloon I thought it might be nice to recognize some accomplishments, embarrassments and overall rankings from this past season. After compiling info and stats from countless contributors, websites and ranking services we here at the uptheodds.com poker academy  proudly present

As Summer ends, vacations wrap up, we get the kids back to school and football season starts, We all seem to find ourselves looking for a more ways to get in some poker. Whether its a $1-$2 cash game or a WSOP Circuit event, the action keeps us all coming back in hopes of the heater of all heaters. I though it would be nice to take a closer look at some of our local players. People

As we look to this Fridays game (offsite again) due to Javiers Cheese consumption back at the April Tourney we have been watching from afar the 2015 WSOP. Sadly there have been literally no players from Connecticut making deep runs let alone winning Bracelets. Reviewing some of the people I play poker with monthly I think I understand why Connecticut fairs so poorly. Here is a few

RICOLAAAA! Its official.... you were all told so many times. All the talk of "there's plenty of games left" or "I have lots of time to get points" We all talked about this 10 months ago.

Event #3 November is here. Thanksgiving is a few weeks away. Christmas is soon after. But tonight is the 3rd chance out of 10 for points. Everyone came into the league thinking this was their year. They were going to make the deep runs necessary to lock up a seat in the 2015 WSOP main Event and represent the rest of this group in Vegas. Standings John Stratton 36 Mike White 31

While most that don't make it clearly do not deserve to be there, there are a few people that are in the top 10 that also have played well above their pay grade. With only 9 players confirmed for Friday you have to ask yourself if the 10 players

In January we all had the same thought "Get the points needed to make the December tournament of champions early in the year so not to be desperate come the fall" Well its fall and you can smell the desperation. While poker studs like myself and Javier along with some lucky players like Miller, Greg and Willey have a seat locked up there are many of you that have a job to do come

July.....Tournament #7 of 11 As the summer slowly wears away and we start looking forward to the start of the NFL season (hopefully) we should take a count of our poker status at the SPS. While a few things are almost certain there are a few that i think we are apt to see before the final regular tourney of the year in November. Lets take a look at some of these  items

The snow keeps coming and Rafael keeps winning.After an amazing end to 2010, Rafael made a statement in January. Announcing to the league that his back to back tournament of champions wins were no fluke.He's for real. Coached by one of the best in the game, he is the man to beat in 2011. Taking the January tournament does not lock up his seat for a run at a three-peat but as of right now he is
