		<title>Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lately I&#8217;ve been playing pretty tight at the tables.  I&#8217;ve hit a pretty bad run of cards and if I&#8217;m being honest with myself have begun to play a bit scared.  Never a good feeling.  I try not to watch hands where I&#8217;ve already folded but I simply cannot do it.  I watch every hand [...]]]></description>

		<title>All In Or Fold&#8230; I Did Neither</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Heads up for the title and I&#8217;m out chipped by about 10:1.  We&#8217;ve been playing heads up for about 20 minutes at this point and I&#8217;m hanging tight.  I&#8217;ve moved in a couple of times and he&#8217;s folded.  I&#8217;m to the point that I really can&#8217;t call a raise so he&#8217;s moving me all in [...]]]></description>

		<title>What&#8217;s A Guy To Do???</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Early in the tournament and I look down at wired tens.  I raise to 3 times the big blind and I get called by the button and we&#8217;re off to the flop.
   Talk about a beautiful flop for a pair of tens.  I put in a standard continuation bet hoping he&#8217;s got something [...]]]></description>

		<title>First Game After A Long Layoff</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This past weekend we had the championship game for Season V of the Cleveland Poker League.  For a variety of reasons it had been quite a long time since the final game of the regular season and due to some real life considerations I hadn&#8217;t played one single hand in the time between those two [...]]]></description>

		<title>Out Before I Even Had A Chance To Get Going</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had a Cleveland Poker League game this past weekend (the last of the season) and as I&#8217;m sure you can tell by the title of this post it didn&#8217;t go well.  On a positive note I really do think I was playing pretty well (good reads, some good folds, etc.)  For what seemed like [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Kind Of Hands That Make You Want To Stop Playing Online</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I hear people complain all the time about how online poker is &#8220;rigged&#8221;.  My standard response to this is &#8220;If you think you&#8217;re being cheated &#8211; don&#8217;t play.&#8221;  This happens to be my stance for a live game as well.  I&#8217;m a firm believer that online sites simply CANNOT allow their players to be cheated [...]]]></description>

		<title>Luck, Skill &amp; Superstition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Luck and skill.  You&#8217;ve got to have both to be successful at the poker table.  You can play your cards &#8220;perfectly&#8221; and have no success.  You can play your cards poorly and win every pot you&#8217;re in.  The best you can do is get your money in good and pray to the poker gods.  In [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Peril Of Short-Handed Play</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I got back to the tables this weekend with our monthly Cleveland Poker League game.  With it being Memorial Day weekend we had a smaller game (11 players) but the action was no less intense.  We always have a final table of 8 so we started the afternoon with a table of 6 and a [...]]]></description>
