Poker, musings and basics

A Bold Bluff

Offered by PokerAnon, poker philosopher/shrink.


A three year veteran in the world of casual on-line poker play, I've been writing about poker since I started playing in an attempt to remember the things that I learned in hopes that I might actually use them while playing. Over time the writings have taken on a philosophical/psychological bent, and hopefully the strategy and thinking has become a little more sophisticated.

But I've never been a heavy grinder, someone who logs multiple hours a day playing poker. I've probably spent as much time thinking and writing about poker as actually playing it.

Check out some of the basics of poker, or see what I've been up to lately.
