Updates on my poker life

It's been awhile since I've posted on this thing. But there are a few exciting new things that have happened recently to me. I'm going to go overseas for summer break, so I figured I should learn how to play online poker well. And thus begins my Frodo-esque journey leaving the Shire of live poker to delve into the world of online cash game poker. I recently gave up playing single table tournaments, mostly because I got tired of pushing all in w/ A-8. I plan on chronicling my journey of online poker in this blog. I will be playing low stakes (I don't have much money online and Abe says bankroll management...blah blah blah....) shorthanded no limit on Poker Stars. I'll need to adjust quite a bit since I play significantly higher stakes live. I've booked two sessions and I've been two-outed a six times. Whee!

More to come later.

Also! Had a trip to Turning Stone. Two 30+ hour sessions of poker, two 15+ hours of sleep sessions, and drinking Canadian beer in the room. I'll write up a more detailed trip report later.

And one more thing: I'm a poker player. I attend college as an English major. I'm dedicated to the game. So, the only logical job prospect for me would be to get a job working at Cardplayer college. any help from my readers would be nice.

Noted Poker Authority

Ed Miller was a young poker player in Las Vegas and got the nickname "Noted Poker Authority" --- before he really became one.

His three (so far) books are generally considered the best in their field for specific audiences:

Small Stakes Hold'em --coauthored with Sklansky and Malmuth in 2004 is the best limit holdem book for playing in loose games.

Getting Started in Hold'em -- written in 2005 is the best beginner book for Holdem. It covers basics, limit, NL, and tourneys.

No Limit Hold'em Theory and Practice --coauthored with Sklansky in 2006. An excellent book stressing NL concepts and containing a heavy math approach.

Also in 2006, he issued Ed Miller's Limit Hold'em. This is a 4 DVD set that covers limit holdem concepts and skills in an explanatory fashion.

Due out later this year is his first of two books covering NL Holdem cash games.

Ed used to be a prolific poster on 2+2 and his contributions were superb. He now has his own website where he writes great columns and discusses hands, etc.
