Part III Rampaging Short Stack Strategy

This is the third and last installment on strategies for short stacking. This one is called rampaging, something there is not much information out there on. From what I can tell you start out at the 25NL, double up your 5.00 and then take 10.00 to the 50NL, double up and take 20.00 to the […]

Okay, this one has been on my mind for a few days, so I guess I’ll go ahead and spill it here. I have a buddy who is a great player, I mean great. I’ve never seen a time where he couldn’t take down a table any time he’s chosen to. In Colorado when the […]

Disappointment

So upset. Stars had an update yesterday. I have never had a problem with HEM before when stars updated. This time all the hands stopped importing. It so happens, that I had decided to play a few hours without HEM. So just PS was open, and I figure it will upload into HEM later when […]

24 Tabling….12.5 hands Every Minute

It was quite amazing. 4,493 hands in 6 hours, that equates to 2.00 for every 10 minutes. Most players at my level have no clue as to what the “Gap Concept” is. I see Dead People, I mean Dead money. Here are a few of the beautiful hands. If you wanna see more hands, I […]
