<title>To Fish or not to Fish</title>

<description><![CDATA[
Last Friday has been a rather weird poker night for me as I was playing with my friends. Believe it or not, for approx 80% of the hands I played, I flopped some kind of big draw; open-ended straight draw, nut flush draw, straight flush draw.. and yes, a royal flush draw which finally killed my bankroll.
At the beginning, I tried to avoid fishing too much. Most of the guys played aggressively so I had to be conservative and fold several drawing hands. To my disgust, running cards would have made...

<title>My S&G performance</title>
<link>http://www.mypokeracademy.com/blog/derinfish/2008/10/10/My-SG-performance/</link>
<description><![CDATA[
Altough I did not get organised in noting my results of the tournaments I play, from time to time I like to sit down and take a look at my perfomance over a particular time.
Naturally, this curiosity mostly arises when I suddenly realise that either my bankroll has shrinked almost to nothing or as happened this time, my bankroll grew fatter.
The S&amp;amp;G I like to play are at the majority $5 Buyin 6 seater, however noted down here are some exceptions:
September 1st - 30th (S&amp;amp;G profit = $50...

<title>The Poker Donkey Spell</title>
<link>http://www.mypokeracademy.com/blog/derinfish/2008/09/25/The-Poker-Donkey-Spell/</link>
<description><![CDATA[
Nothing is more frustrated in poker then to have to leave the table because of a donkey.
It seems like the donkey spell is working magics on me, because this is happening more and more often. Let me explain myself.
I find myself with a massive hand, something like pocket rockets, K K or AK. I love to play these hands aggresively as I tend to be very selective especially in S&amp;amp;G tournaments. At the exact same time, I find out that a 'donkey' in my table is practicing his newly developed styl...

Barry Greenstein said in his book Ace on the River:
&quot;I wasn't the best player on the tables. The only difference between me and the others was, that while men used to come and play poker and have a drink after a day of work, I was sleeping all day. And that was the reason why I was winning.&quot;
I never had the chance to analyse this statement, until now. As from two months ago, I started an experiment, which confirms what Barry Greenstein explains in his book.
Having started my summer holidays, ...

<title>The bad beat Season</title>

<description><![CDATA[
I registered to the MPA Freeroll Launch&amp;nbsp;Tournament with excitement. I have been playing live and online poker for some time now, but was never really into a particular event. I wanted to be there at the Academy's Launch.
Being exited, doesn't mean I was feeling I\'m going to win. To be honest, after a long and wealhty run,&amp;nbsp;this week&amp;nbsp;I feel I\'m the abyss again. A 'bad-beat' seaon I\'m calling it. A run where I'm loosing lots of chips by holding the second nuts. It happened to me ...
