It's been a very busy week of poker, and in particular some long term poker planning.

How to play an STT - by Anthony Fish

Fri, 13 Mar 2009 00:51:29 +0000

One piece of advice I was given quite early on in my poker career was to try and get into the mind of my opponents. Here I try to get into the mind of a very weak STT player.

I had $94 in my account, so I thought I'd have a game - a $50 STT looked good, and if I could win that I thought I might play a bigger one.

Limp Callers

I'm writing this on the back of a warm glow of winning back to back sit and go games, and my bankroll is currently sitting at its peak.

Sit and go and and a bit of snow

Sun, 08 Feb 2009 22:57:00 +0000

After a bad few days at the cash tables, I was feeling a little low about my game, and was lacking in confidence, so I retreated back to my safe haven of the sit and go tournament tables for a bit of variety.

The dizzy heights of NL20

Fri, 23 Jan 2009 08:20:19 +0000

I reached the target I had set myself, and I was moving up to the dizzy heights of NL20. It had taken some serious grinding, and I had reached $480 from nothing playing NL10 - so I was ready to embark on the next stage of my journey.

Playing cash on Betfair

Wed, 14 Jan 2009 14:29:14 +0000

I had just watched a video on Deuces Cracked so I decided to take what I had learnt to the Betfair $NL20 tables. These tables can be pretty weak, but there are a few regulars who you don't want to tangle with.

Monday poker

I started keeping records last Monday.
It was a bad day to start keeping records - as I lost last Monday.

Scared of Two Plus Two

Mon, 05 Jan 2009 23:10:00 +0000

Yep.
I am.
Not in a cowering behind the sofa (why does nobody use the word couch anymore??) kind of way - but intellectually scared.

Poker and life aims for 2009

2009 is nearly upon us, so I thought it time to set some poker and non-poker goals for 2009.

Man Flu and Poker

Mon, 22 Dec 2008 14:07:51 +0000

First things first.

I've had the flu. And being a man, everyone automatically says that I have "man flu" - which is the same as saying "a slight cold". But I have been genuinely ill...you know how I can tell? I haven't played hardly any poker. And that says a lot.

The Live John Crawley Charity Game

I played in the "John Crawley Benefit" poker game at the Empire, Leicester Square the other week.

Bert and Ernie play the Sunday Million

Bert and Ernie are sitting in the living room, and Bert is playing the Sunday Million on Pokerstars on his laptop.

Switching from tournaments to cash

Fri, 05 Dec 2008 09:20:27 +0000

I recently made the transition from playing tournament poker exclusively to playing cash poker whenever I hit the tables. And this has been an eye-opener - and has bought with it a complete change of mindset.

Live poker novice flattened by moustache

I don't often play live poker, but last year I played in a live game - and I managed to get a nice read on an opponent.

Cloud Poker - The First Blog

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 09:54:25 +0000

Hi and welcome to my new home on the net!

So first I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Nick, but in poker circles everybody knows me as "Cloud" (struggling to come up with an original poker name, I happened to be looking out of the window...).
