Two river payoffs (hands of the day — as promised) 1

Posted by Entity on June 06, 2007

I won one and lost the other, and I’m not sure about whether I played all streets properly in either case.  Both will be on the latest Road to Robusto video, which I’ll be posting tomorrow, most likely.

Someday I’ll get the hang of this blogging thing

Posted by Entity on June 02, 2007

I know, I know, the point of blogging is to update y’all more frequently in a non-centralized fashion, but what can I say…I’ve been busy. Since moving into the new office I haven’t played a ton (about 13k hands) and I’ve been working on a lot of aspects of our site, getting ready for a few big launches (one small one is the Deuces Cracked Hand Converter which I hope you all start using and beta testing sooooon). I actually tried to play a Road to Robusto session today on Full Tilt, but the software wouldn’t connect to the network for me. Go figure.

In the next week I’ll see if I can get a new idea or two launched — I’m going to try to start doing a “hand of the day” to post both here and at DeucesCracked, and I’ll post all of my thoughts/answers to the questions there for those who may be interested. I really strongly encourage anyone who hasn’t already to sign up for an account there — even the free resources (of which there will soon be more!)…and of course, you can always get an account for free by hitting $500 in MGR at DeucesCrackedRakeback or RakeTracker. We’ve still got a promo going as well where if you hit $100 in MGR (a fairly easy target) on a site where you don’t already have an account with us, you’ll get a free month as well, which means access to over 70 videos and tons of other resources.

Ok, enough shilling. I will play next week and have more interesting things to talk about, I promise. Will be in Vegas soon, then back home again, then in Vegas again for a while — first for bachelor party stuff for a friend, then for the WSOP. Here’s to running good at 30/60.
