Breaking down the A9 call of Russell Thomas

October 30, 2012 | 4:35 am | Derk

I have been working with Russell Thomas the past couple of months on short stack play and ICM issues.  I am doing an entire series of videos about my work with him over on PokerVT.com where I make poker training videos. You can also check out more of his training he did with Jason [...]

2009-2011 : a retrospective photoblog

December 3, 2011 | 10:58 am | JCarver

The past three years I’ve been very lucky to have visited a ton of cool places with a lot of awesome people.  Browsing through some of my old folders, inspired by BJ Nemeth’s awesome photography work, I felt like it would be cool to share some of my personal photos and memories in a [...]

dallas trip report and some news

April 6, 2011 | 2:40 am | JCarver

The last few months have been pretty unusual.  Typically, I fill my time with poker, both online cash and live tournaments – but this hasn’t been the case at all in 2011.  Since PCA, I haven’t played much poker or traveled, staying outside the whole poker scene in general.  I needed a break after the [...]

Vegas pics

OK here are some pics of the kitchen/living room area and my view from my place at Panorama Towers.  Not pictured: bedrooms or bathrooms. Forgive my hand being in the shot on the first two, oops.

WSOP trip report

July 12, 2009 | 4:42 am | Derk

I’m back from the WSOP so I figured I’d write up a trip report.  No pictures though because my digital camera, which is now 4 years old, has some problems and my phone’s camera kinda sucks too.  Time to upgrade.
I got in on the evening of June 8th and promptly got lost getting to my [...]

monte carlo trip report

May 7, 2009 | 4:21 pm | JCarver

I haven’t really written too much in awhile.  As typical with me, my standard super hot/cold on ideas/activities has kind of taken me away from writing, but I’m getting back into it again and the overdue trip report for EPT Monte Carlo seems like a good place to start.
I haven’t really been doing too much [...]

$25k WPT Championship recap

April 24, 2009 | 1:14 am | steveodwyer

It’s been a while since I’ve made any sort of poker-related update with substantial content, so I figured I’d write up a quick trip report from the WPT Championship.
My day 1 table had some really tough competition but I had one of the best seats at the table so for me personally it wasn’t that [...]

a blog wholly about POKER what?!?!?

March 23, 2009 | 5:44 am | JCarver

I haven’t forgotten that I have not one, but two “TO BE CONTINUED” posts below this one.  Well, this isn’t THE STUNNING CONCLUSION to either (but hopefully it won’t be a start of a new one), but I do have 3 rather long theory posts in various states of completion sitting waiting for me to [...]

pca post-mortem

January 12, 2009 | 2:47 am | JCarver

I got back from Atlantis on Saturday afternoon. It was an extremely fun week or so spent amongst friends in a pretty awesome resort. It was my first time there, as I did Aussie Millions last year instead, so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but it’s a pretty sweet place and [...]
