I’m going to climb my soap-box, and shout the virtues of recreational poker players today. It is about time that someone did. I have nothing against ‘grinders and pros’ (or of course beginners). It is just that the ‘recreationals’ make up a big chunk of players online, and contribute a lot to the poker economy [...]

Update: Well, that idea went down like the proverbial lead balloon! No problem, my view is that if I never try things which do not work out… then I have not tried enough things. Going to add one article over there first (well, link to it from there) today. Then time for a ’social media [...]

Took it upon myself to have a look at the 180 player SNGs over at Pokerstars yesterday evening. Though I have played the occasional game, usually when tired at the end of an evening working, I had done nothing to compare the levels or games.
So, 3 hours, 4 games played and several dozen more observed [...]

Got a few links to share today. Should do more posts like this really, after all it is too easy to live within your own little website bubble. All of these are SNG themed, including a mobile tool created by a reader and 2 interesting 2+2 threads which I had lurking in my bookmarks.

Having a day off from the music festival in town today and in the mood for some blogging. I will attempt to join up a short playing anecdote with a little inspiration from a non-poker blog which I randomly came across following links from Hacker News… and then tie both into a light hearted look [...]
