This website and my two blogs are being created to document my life and provide a place to collect poker news and stories. Here I will parse out my daily array of feelings ... You may read about my joy, pain, anxiety, love, frustation, peace of mind, patience or lack thereof, acts of kindness, acts of goodness, trust, humility, self control, anger, sadness, depression, fears, apathy, pride, hate, forgiveness or lack thereof, resentment, jealousy, worthless thoughts, anxiety, worry, happiness, rejection, hurt, insecurities or lack thereof, shame, doubts, distrusts, guilt or lack of guilt, positive attitudes for the future or hopelessness. Well maybe some of these feelings will pop up from time to time, but mostly I will try to document what is transpiring from day to day.

When we left you last time the blinds were $1,000-$2,000, the average stack was $80,000, 15 people remained in the tourney, you were on the button with $20,000, and we talked about the need for you to assess your opponents before making a decision.
But how do your opponents assess your game? Do they think you're playing well, on tilt, or are a guy who is about to make a last stand with almost any two cards? Maybe you've been short stacked for a while and you believe they think you are incredibly patient, and that when you do play a pot under these conditions, you are likely to have the big hand you've been waiting for.
Regardless of how they perceive you, you can't wait around for pocket aces, kings, or queens, before making your move. If you are dealt A-K or A-Q it's time to put your tournament life on the line and go all-in. While you'd like to pick up the blinds, it's not such a bad deal even if you're called. If you win the race, you'll double through ... Continue reading Short Stacked Play: Part 2
Poker's expansion in East Coast casinos is expected to continue this summer when Delaware's three casinos add table games, including an option for poker, to their gambling offerings. The change comes after a bill legalizing table games was passed in late January and quickly signed into law by Delaware Governor Jack Markell. Delaware will join neighboring state Pennsylvania in offering poker and other table games, which is expected to put even more stress on the economically beleaguered stalwart of East Coast gambling, New Jersey's Atlantic City. Another mid-Atlantic state, Maryland, is considering a similar expansion.

Lee Patitz, a 73-year-old electrical generating plant control room operator from Hastings, Nebraska, won the $300 no-limit hold 'em opening event at the Horseshoe Council Bluffs WSOP circuit tour stop. Victory brought him $27,332 and a handsome gold-and-diamond trophy ring.
Patitz, who comes to town once a month to play a tournament and made three final tables and won another $300 no-limit event at last year's Circuit, described his victory as 'Fun, fun, and more fun.'
Patitz, who says he plays erratically to keep players from figuring him out, characterized his final table style as 'semi-conservative,' adding that he was '...waiting until the hot shots got out.'
The opening event drew 303 players and offered a prize pool of $88,173. When the final table was whittled down to four, and blinds at 12,000-24,000 with 3,000 antes, Kevin Parmely went out holding A-7. He was up against Shaun Barnett, who had K-10 and made a runner-runner straight w... Continue reading Midwestern Revelation: 73-Year-Old Lee Patitz Wins Iowa Circuit Opener
Atlantic City, NJ - To win, all poker players must pay a price. More often than not, the price of victory is not measured by the size of the entry fee or the expenses of entering a poker tournament. For many poker players, the much greater sacrifice is the accompanying disappointment that comes with playing tournament poker full time. In between extraordinary moments of fulfillment manifested in tournament triumphs are torturous moments of defeat, disappointment, and despair.
Roland Isra, a 52 year old professional poker player from New York City, knows the perils of poker all too well. He has come to the threshold of a major tournament victory numerous times. But each and every prior occasion when it seemed that Isra might finally win big tournament, he suffered a bad bet or was the victim of some cruel misfortune. Nevertheless, Isra endured over the years and to his credit, finally earned a major breakthrough victory at the most recent World Series of Poker C...

I have been on television playing poker on several occasions. The 1st time was when I made the final table at a World Series of Poker $10,000 event held in March 2005, in San Diego, California. The second time was in November 2005 when I finished 14th in a super tough field of 114 champions at the invitational only, World Series of Poker Tournament of Champions, held at Caesars Las Vegas... I lost when my back pocket nines ran into a button raise by Phil Hellmuth having red pocket tens. In the next 5 minutes Johnny Chan was out in 13th p-lace when he ran pocket 4's into pocket 8's. Doyle Brunson finished 10th and we all three recieved ZERO NADA ZILCH BUPCUS. That's tournament poker and why I am looking for a better sponsor. To see a compilation of my television appearances you can click on the heading above.
