When you're signing up for new online poker accounts I recommend checking out Poker Source Online. PSO was founded in 2004 and they've given out millions in free gifts and free poker money. If you'd like, you can also get rakeback at PSO. PSO is arguably the most trusted affiliate in online poker and they support all the major poker rooms including Party Poker, Poker Stars, Full Tilt Poker, etc.

I was thinking about my recent poker decisions and play after having a poor month, and was brought back to this concept. Focusing on what’s important and the macro elements is the primary thing to have in check before the minute details.Log hands. Base your play off of a solid game. Ask yourself if you are a winner in the games you are playing and what you are doing accomplishes. Look at the entire situation and consider your game plan when it’s relevant and how you are setting yourself up to be a long-term successful player, not just a brief evaluation of potential lines in one hand. A skill that is important, but that even very good players make the mistake of overlooking. You are creating a winning strategy, not just analyzing one game.The same applies to health and fitness. Most of the people reading this are lazy poker players. It’s a fairly simple process even for a sedentary person to make healthier decisions that will improve their quality of life.The key is just doing something instead of nothing. Start now.And someone remind me to bug Nat to help me figure out how to use pictures on here! -JeffEDIT- PCA pics are linked in the PCA post now.

I just got back from a great trip to the Caribbean. I stayed for 9 days in a suite in the Cove with my good friends Leo Wolpert and Adam Junglen. The trip was awesome and I had a ton of fun.
I played the $10k main event and $5k side tournament with no luck. I took two very bad beats in the $5k to lose, but I don’t even remember what happened in the main event. It was such a fun trip it was hard to think about poker.
The jet skis are very overpriced and shoddy but still easily worth it. I ended up paying $300 for 3.5 hours total on the trip. For anyone whose been, there’s an island to the far right from the jet ski area. The back of it has bigger waves and you can circle the entire thing in less than an hour. A group of us went and did that and also found a cool lighthouse worth checking out. I wish I had my camera because there was an amazing view, riding back right into the sunset to the shadow of Atlantis miles away reflected on the ocean.
The Cove itself was great. The room is normally $1k/night but I got a special deal and it averaged out to around 550, which is pretty cheap for a very nice 700-800 sq ft. room split a few ways. The Atlantis resort is greatly improved from two years ago. It’s no Crown Casino but I found the water rides and other features very relaxing and fun. Definitely recommended. The room was very big with a great view. If I find my camera adapter and figure out how to use the image option on here I will upload some pictures from the trip and put them here.
edit- I made this album viewable to the public. 2009, and then two years ago in 2007. Unfortunately I don’t know how to host here and didn’t get many pics outside of scenery, but enjoy!:

The action online has been bad. I can’t get any games in HU NLHE and 6-max is never running. Only a handful of the best players want to play anyone but a fish it seems, and even then it is relative. There are one or two weaker players who are continuing to give me some action so I will have some games and hopefully that will continue. I always stop loss, and don’t log long sessions or big losing sessions or play more than 1 table most of the time (except perhaps against a fishy opponent), so hopefully some of my short sessions will go well this year. Although I feel I may have to look for profits at higher stakes or in live tournament action since it is pretty likely a lot of these players will go broke or drop down pretty fast. Man the games are terrible now.
I don’t know what the next live tournament will be but my schedule is limited because of school.

I’ve decided to start my blog up again for the hell of it. I’m working on getting my old posts from over a year ago moved, not sure how big a problem that’s going to be.
For those unfamiliar with me, I’m a 19 year old high school graduate. I’ve lived all over the country and have lived in MA for the past four years. I’m a professional poker player who is taking time off between high school and college to travel the world and play poker.
I’m going to try to update this blog regularly with pictures, graphs, and non poker related stuff too. I quit my last blog over a year ago and have hundreds of pictures from my poker trips since, so I’ll write some short trip reports and get those up. There should be plenty of poker content and hand histories and analysis and updates on my poker results and business ventures.
