Dec 19 2009 Christmas Poker Challenge

December 20th, 2009 -- Posted in EthanCainePoker.com News, Poker Challenges | No Comments »

Just reporting in.  I have been faithfully playing 5cent/10cent tables and not playing over my bankroll which was my downfall before.  I have managed to climb back up from $40 dollars to a balance of $89.

$54.11 Up So Far

I attribute this steady climb too all of the studying I have been doing is actually starting to show in my play.  My sessions are still relatively short for some reason but I am visiting my parents and they see poker as a gambling demon so I play in a really small window on my desktop over my email screen.

Anyway I will keep you guys updated.

Slow Play Quads vs Top Pair

Checked To The End..then BAM, Barbara Ann

Checked To The End..then BAM, Barbara Ann

Flopped Quads, checked all the way to the River where a K appeared and the AK guy kind of blew his load and went all in  which I obviously called.  The moral of the story is if you have the nuts simply check to the end hoping they bet so you can re-raise.

Just thought I would share this cause it was epic.
