Another night another bubbling of a final Razz table. It's all good being I had a winning MTT night with 3 cashes out of 6 tournaments. Tony

Cash Razz

Been doing well in Cash Razz games this week on Stars. I have stopped the bleeding at Rush Poker but I still am not winning much at it. Anything is better than losing 3-5 Buy ins every night! Can't seem to win all in pre-flop coins flips playing it. Also can't figure out how to get my A-K or A-Q hands to beat Ace-Rag all in pre-flop either. Hopefully it will turn around soon. Thanks for reading and good luck at the tables. Tony

Finally an MTT Cash! My 3 week long drought has ended. It's Donkday so don't be afraid to call all in light. The play today is at a new low point. Happy Donkday. Tony

P.S. - My Tournament Leader Board quest on Stars is alive once again. I may put more time and energy into improving on my 28,000 place position for the year.

Rush Poker

Wow Rush Poker has been kicking my ass all week. How many times can I get all in pre-flop with Kings and be vs. Aces? How many times can I lose a buy in with Aces vs. a shitty small pair that flops a set? Maybe I should fold my Aces on a flop of 7-4-2 rainbow every time, hmm… Problem is I play at 40BBs or less at Rush Poker. So after the flop I make my C-bet and when someone shoves it’s hard to fold at that point. Math wise against their range I need to call there almost every time or am I missing something. Obviously if I get 3-bet pre-flop I have an easy shove and then there aren’t any more decisions to make. I would love to read some opinions on the best play in this situation playing Rush Poker. Remember my stack is always 40BBs or less. (I play a rat-hole strategy, usually when I win a pot I leave and rebuy for 40BBs.) I haven’t crossed over into being comfortable in a deep stack cash game situation yet. Maybe I am just on the wrong side of variance right now. Please leave me some comments about this, I need some help. Thanks for reading and good luck at the tables. Tony

Tao of Poker: Lost Vegas: Reviews and Beach Discount: "By Pauly Berkeley, CA Thanks to a few folks who have written extremely nice things about Lost Vegas: The Redneck Riviera, Existentialist C..." I recommend buying the Doctos's book. It's well worth the purchase price! If you like his BLOG you will love the book even more. I got to meet him at this year's WSOP, super nice guy. Keep up the good work. Tony

Cash RAZZ Games

The cash RAZZ games on Stars have been going great for me this week. As for Rush Poker I am on the bad side if it's sick variance once again! How many coin flips in a row can I lose in Rush? Also keep shoving Queens and Kings into Aces, so sick. This weekend I plan on a sick volume of MTTs so hope to have some scores to post about. Good luck at the tables. Tony
