It's been a while since my last post due to a period of illness which lead to a massive reduction in the amount of poker I was playing and my involvment with the PokerGrapher project.
In my abscense, CudjoeBill has taken up the reigns of developing PokerGrapher and seems to be doing a fine job. Hopefully, I'll be able to start contributing again in the very near future.
My illness also gave me time to do an assessment of my poker playing and what my hopes and aims are. My main poker game is limit Hold'em but since UIGEA, and most of the major online poker rooms closing their doors to US players, the number of 'juicy' games has dropped significantly. The games I seeing on the Stars and Crypto were getting very tight indeed which was not fun at all. Meanwhile, the number of no-limit games was ever increasing. So I've decided to make the jump over to No Limit. And I'm starting at the ground level.
What helped in my decision was coming across the PokerStrategy.org.uk website.
Basically, you register with them, open up an account at PartyPoker through them, read some learning material, pass a quiz and they give you $50. Yip, simple as that. You then get a Party bonus of $100 once you played 5000 raked hands. So in total, you can get $150 dollars free. And that's not all.
They have lots of strategy articles, starting at the beginner level and working up. They have a forum for discussing hands and they like. But what I love about the site is the live coaching sessions. The coach plays a few tables at Party and comments about what he is doing as he plays. You listen to the coach using PokerStrategy's TeamSpeak server and you observe the tables that he is playing at. It is the best learning method I've came across. It's fantastic.
Check it out. And don't forget to put SwingSwingSwing in the "Advertised field" when you sign up.
