Thoughts of a Microstakes Grinder: February Review
http://microstakesgrinder.blogspot.com/2013/03/february-review.html
Thoughts of a Microstakes Grinder. JH1's poker, politics, and life blog. Sunday, 3 March 2013. February continued to work out very well for me. I'm not entirely sure anymore if it was just the super soft site I was/am playing on or something I changed in my game while simultaneously switching sites. I've put in some hours at Stars and FTP again when my fishy Euro site was down or low on traffic without any difference in winrate. 34 buyins 16k hands 21 bb/100*. 44 buyins 32k hands 14 bb/100. Eureka Kid - ...

Thoughts of a Microstakes Grinder: Stars 'Monopoly'
http://microstakesgrinder.blogspot.com/2012/04/i-just-wanted-to-address-some-of.html
Thoughts of a Microstakes Grinder. JH1's poker, politics, and life blog. Wednesday, 25 April 2012. I just wanted to address some of the 'monopoly' talk going on since the jaw dropping news came out about a potential Stars purchase of FTP. There's a lot of worry out there about what Stars would do with an outright monopoly on the online poker industry. After thinking about this for a while here's some of my thoughts. The industry, but what does that mean in terms of how far they can push the envelope?

Thoughts of a Microstakes Grinder: Back to Stars and Stars 2013 Changes
http://microstakesgrinder.blogspot.com/2012/12/back-to-stars-and-stars-2013-changes.html
Thoughts of a Microstakes Grinder. JH1's poker, politics, and life blog. Monday, 3 December 2012. Back to Stars and Stars 2013 Changes. I managed to clear out about 1/3 of my Deal Me In bonus on Full Tilt before it expired. I took another week off during that promotion to work on some other things I'm enjoying like my self-paced programming courses. The old me would have played 24/7 to get that free money. The new me still couldn't care less about anything volume related. Live at the Amsterdam VIP Party ...

Thoughts of a Microstakes Grinder: I'm back
http://microstakesgrinder.blogspot.com/2012/10/im-back.html
Thoughts of a Microstakes Grinder. JH1's poker, politics, and life blog. Sunday, 21 October 2012. I almost threw in the towel. People seem to blog less when they are losing. I'm no exception. Over the summer I had a couple of my best months this year followed by my two worst months ever. There were two main problems with my game. I was happy again. No stress. The weight of Supernova off my shoulders. I could do whatever I wanted instead of being chained to my desk. But after two weeks, I ...Not the stres...

Thoughts of a Microstakes Grinder: HH Review: Min 3-Bet Pot Mistake
http://microstakesgrinder.blogspot.com/2013/02/hh-min-3-bet-pot-mistake.html
Thoughts of a Microstakes Grinder. JH1's poker, politics, and life blog. Monday, 18 February 2013. HH Review: Min 3-Bet Pot Mistake. Something I never did on Stars was mix stakes. I just found it too confusing. With the lack of traffic on my new site, I'm finding it's much better for my winrate if I do mix in three or even four stakes for the highest fish ratio. It's interesting how I've started thinking more in terms of SPR than in $ or even in bb. 010/$0.25 No Limit Hold'em - 5 players. These likely sh...

Thoughts of a Microstakes Grinder: Poker: Luck vs Skill
http://microstakesgrinder.blogspot.com/2013/03/poker-luck-vs-skill.html
Thoughts of a Microstakes Grinder. JH1's poker, politics, and life blog. Tuesday, 12 March 2013. Poker: Luck vs Skill. For as long as I've been playing poker, I've obviously been on the side of the game being skill based. However, after thinking about it over the past week, I think it's much more cut and dried than simply being based. On skill or being majority. Skill It's 100% skill. Exactly like chess. There is no luck involved. Here's why:. The ability to do something well; expertise. We've all heard ...

Thoughts of a Microstakes Grinder: Thoughts on the Existence of the WSOP Ladies Event
http://microstakesgrinder.blogspot.com/2012/06/thoughts-on-existence-of-wsop-ladies.html
Thoughts of a Microstakes Grinder. JH1's poker, politics, and life blog. Saturday, 30 June 2012. Thoughts on the Existence of the WSOP Ladies Event. I'm definitely on the "equal" should. So it's entirely expected that a gender specific annual event is going to draw the ire of part of the poker community - it's hard to consolidate emotion and principal with reason in this case. Lets take a look at three discriminatory analogies:. 1) The harm one to benefit another discrimination. Steve: Well there's not m...

Thoughts of a Microstakes Grinder: My take on the gun control debate
http://microstakesgrinder.blogspot.com/2013/01/my-take-on-gun-control-debate.html
Thoughts of a Microstakes Grinder. JH1's poker, politics, and life blog. Thursday, 17 January 2013. My take on the gun control debate. I infrequently dive into the political spectrum, and I know a lot of Americans still read my blog when I do post. Given this debate is so extreme and has even taken over the national news in Canada, I thought I'd offer up my thoughts. That's because this entire debate is absolutely pointless. That's the equivalent of 3 Aurora incidents. Every day. But everyday new...There...

Thoughts of a Microstakes Grinder: Updated: Nate Silver and the Election
http://microstakesgrinder.blogspot.com/2012/11/nate-silver-and-election.html
Thoughts of a Microstakes Grinder. JH1's poker, politics, and life blog. Tuesday, 6 November 2012. Updated: Nate Silver and the Election. Update - Nov 7: Results posted below. I've been following Nate Silver's numbers on the 2012 US presidential election. Simply fascinating. If he's right, and I'm led to believe his predictions are scary-accurate, this is not a race at all despite how badly the news wants to portray it as one. They have all the predictions posted on FiveThirtyEight. Fascinating following...
