Poker Night in America Day 1
I recently had the awesome experience of playing $25/$50 for about 15 hours on Poker Night in America at Choctaw Casino in Oklahoma. It was a ton of fun and it ended up going quite well for me. That is lucky!
I will likely make a more concise video blog in the future, but for now, check out the entire first day of play below. Unfortunately there was a problem with the footage from the second day and as far as I know, it is not available. If you want to discuss any hands, feel free to mention the time they took place and ask your questions in the comment section below. …

Extracting Full Value
I was recently told about a hand from a $240 buy-in live poker tournament that illustrates a key error that many amateur players commit on a regular basis. Early in the tournament with blinds at 100/200 with 15,000 effective stacks, a somewhat tight player limped (called the big blind) from first position, the player in second position called and then our Hero called from middle position with Tc-9s. …
