First, our producer, Mark Siebert, is presently in negotiations with a potential new sponsor (yes it’s always boils down to the $$$) and in this struggling economy, it’s difficult. I do believe we will be back on the air this summer. We will probably have a new time slot, a somewhat new format, but the same old co-hosts… me and Charlie. Sorry to say, Fred will not be joining us this time, but Bob will be.

I’ve been doing a bunch of traveling since our break. Been to Horseshoe in Southern Indiana for Circuit events, Tulsa for the State Championships, West Virginia for a tourney series, Atlantic City (just to play) and I will be heading out to the WSOP, June5th for a week and then back again the beginning of July… if I win a seat in the Main Event!!!!

I’ve had no big “scores” to report on in the tourneys, but cash games have been going pretty well. I’d like to be running good at both at the same time… but you know how that goes.

Got to go, will keep you posted as soon as we have news of our return. Thanks, as always, for all your support and kind e-mails.

I was on the button with a Jd/Qd. There was one limper and a player in mid-position raised making it $20 to go. The next player called, a couple folded and I called as did both the BB and the limper. There were five of us in and the pot was $102.

The flop was 9d/Jc/Kd. This was an interesting flop; the kind I’m thinking is going to double me up or send me to the cage for more chips.

Anyway, the BB checked, the limper checked and the original raiser bet out $150. The next player folded and it was up to me. This was an odd bet. Did he miss the flop and was trying to buy this with this large bet? Did he hit, but didn’t like the straight and flush draw? Do I put him to the test? I’ve got to act… What would you do?

The general limit was $1/2. I had just done well in the Razz and Stud H/L, sat out on the Stud High (which I can’t stand), and was into the NL Hold’em. This was a very active table and most of us had about $50 to $120 in front of us. Granted, this was low compared to the cash games I play in, but I treat on-line differently.

I was on the button with pocket tens, 10h/10c. Not great, but not bad either. The blinds were 25c/50c. The UTG came in with a raise to $3. The next two players called, I called as did both the SB and BB. Now this was a family pot…six-way, with $18 in the pot.

The flop was 7s/8c/9c, which was pretty nice. The SB and BB checked, UTG bet out $12 and I was pretty sure I was looking at something between pocket Queens on up, but I had a lot of outs. The next two folded and I just called. Both SB and BB folded. Now it was me and the UTG, heads up.

The turn was the 10/s. My opponent immediately pushed all-in for $68 and had me covered (I had about $50 left). Did I read his play wrong? I had some thinking to do now… What would you do?
