It was a weird tournament this week. In less than 5 hands we had some of the toughest poker players already busted out and watching from the rail.

The very first hand at my table, Bob makes a healthy raise from middle position only to be re-raised all in by the button. Bob thinks for a while and decides to gamble and calls!

Bob turns over (virtually speaking) pocket 9's and see's that he is in a coin flip against Big Slick. Big slick hits an Ace on the flop and wins the coin flip. Bob's night is over before it even began.

Less than two hands later I hear that both the Joelarbear and Fuller are also now sitting on the virtual rail, at the other table when KK went up against JJ and 44.

Joelearbear, with Kings, raises pre-flop and is called by 44, Fuller is sitting on a pair of hooks and re-raises all in.

Of course Joe calls and now the pot is so huge that the 44 decides to risk it and calls. His gamble paid off and hit a set on the flop, busting both Joe and Fuller and three of the toughest players are already out.

As most of you guys know I'm a pretty big fan of online poker. I've been playing online for over 2 years and have consistently won at lower stakes online poker. I'm going to start giving a report of my weekly win or loss rate.

New - We've re-designed the Online Poker Room Guides!

My Favorite Site: Bodog Poker Read the Review
My second favorite site: FullTilt Read the Review

I played a little 1/2 shorthand at Empire for an overall loss, although I had a few modest winning sessions. Many times I will have built my $50 buyin to over $65 in a 1/2 limit ring game only to lose it down to $53 or $54 bucks before getting up with my modest profit.

I took some very bad beats with players hitting longshot draws against me numerous times but I know that I'll go through swings like that.

I played some NL Ring at at Bodog and also lost a little bit. No Limit is a different animal than limit in my opinion. You have to get paid when you make a big hand and avoid paying off other players with 2nd best hands.

I can't complain though, because the time before I made a huge chunk of profit 1 hand where I flopped a set, turned a boat and then checked the river because I thought my opponent was on a Flush Draw and missed.

Here is how it went down. I hold TT and make a 3-4x raise pre-flop with 2 callers. I flop my set with two clubs on the board and I make a slightly less than half pot sized bet to see what i'm up against. I get 1 caller.

The turn pairs the board and I hit a boat. I make another moderate bet and am quickly called. I'm assuming this guy is on a flush draw but I'm not sure. The river is a blank and I decide to check it.

Now, I check here for a couple of reasons. If he was on a flush draw, he missed and he isn't going to call any real bet from me. Since I put him on the flush draw I thought I would give him the opportunity to bluff at the pot.

He might think I'm betting my flush draw and I've missed, or he might think that my check on the river seems weak and might make a bet at the pot.

So I check and he bets out about $25, which is half of his remaining stack. I push all in and get called. GG, thank you for the money!

I busted out fairly early in the Sunday night league tournament when Lee made a great call when I re-raised him all in with 2nd pair on the river. He called with 2nd pair himself and he had me outkicked. I had the King, he had the Ace. Lee took home the $15 bounty and got to cheer his lady on to win 1st place.
