Milestone Hand

I have been playing regular tables this week hoping to get dealt a Milestone hand. That happened rather unexpectedly today. I made dinner for my family most days of the week. However, today my daughter had a school assignment to make a 3 course dinner. This allowed me to sneak in a half hour at the tables while waiting for dinner to be served.

I was 4 tabling 25NL 6-Max when this message appeared on my table:

There was a few minutes of waiting before the hand got dealt. This built up the excitement especially since I already knew my holecards. Thanks to some luck and some good PSO karma from a few members who were railing, I won the hand and a nice bonus from Pokerstars!

I have always these Milestone hand promos, but this was the first time I have ever been dealt one. This made for a profitable 30 minute session. Thanks Pokerstars! Although two of the players were sitting out at the time and didn't win anything. That must be frustrating.

The guy in the UTG position actually limp-folded?! If you ever get dealt a Milestone hand, don't fold! Jam your chips in the middle no matter what. You earn more money no matter what happens and may just win the hand.

GL at the tables!

March Update: Learning to 4-Bet

My March Update is now out over at PSO. I talk about expanding my 4-bet range, adding 50NL 6-Max to my sessions and continuing to get coached. There have been loads of changes to my game the last two months. I am quite happy with how things are progressing.

GL and have fun at the tables!

February Update: Getting Coached

My February update is now posted over at PokerSchoolOnline.

I've finally taken an important step forward and have gotten a coach. Rather than double posting, just follow the link above. If you are not a member of PSO already, sign up while you are there. It is Pokerstars own school. It is the best. And, it is free.

GL and have fun at the tables!

25NL 6-max Zoom Recording

Here is a short 25NL session recording. I wanted to learn how to create and embed videos. This is a first attempt and no sound, but thought it still may be of interest.

Rungood Results in MTT Win!

I had some rungood over the weekend taking down an MTT for a $395 cash! Since MTT wins are few and far between for me, I couldn’t resist the urge to talk about it. It was a $1.10 rebuy turbo MTT with 2000 chip starting stacks. There were 689 players and a prize pool of $2150. The tourney only lasted  208 hands, and even with the one hour rebuy period, it played out quite similar to the 180 man turbos I’m used to. I started the tourney with a double buyin and never looked back except for taking the addon. This made for a great return on a three buck investment!

Rather than double posting, you can read the rest of the story over at my blog on PSO.
