I need a break
Over the next few days (or weeks) I’ll be taking a break from the online poker tables to play one of the most anticipated games ever. I’ve had my copy of Halo 2 on pre-order for 6 months now and have been waiting for the game for almost two years. If you’re interested, read some of the online reviews. I’ll be picking up my copy tomorrow during lunch!
New View
I just took my original starting bankroll of $300 and bought a 17 inch flat panel monitor. So now my poker bankroll is all winnings! Couldn’t beat the deal with $110 back in rebates.

Poker Tracker Update
Version 2.05.00p of Poker Tracker has been released. No longer a beta version.
Texas Hold’em Odds
I found a very useful pre-flop calculator to see what your chances are with particular hands. The same site also provides a very detailed odds chart which is useful for comparing to pot odds. I think this chart will be my new study guide. Any poker player who wants to be serious should memorize these odds up to 7 or 8 outs. When you get beyond that, the pot is almost always laying you the correct odds for a call.

Party Poker and Poker Tracker
With my recent switch to Party Poker, I decided to give Poker Tracker a try. Let me tell you…it’s one fine piece of software for the online poker player. The program allows you to import your hand histories from a number of online poker sites. It stores everything in a database and gives you so many statistics about how you play it’ll blow your mind. In the next few days I’ll be making the $55 purchase to register the software. I get to import 1000 hands to try it out, but that won’t last long.
Earlier in the week I made the switch to Party Poker because I’ve heard such great things about the games there. I’ve been reading Small Stakes Hold ‘em: Winning Big With Expert Play and Party Poker has all the fish, so I figured it would be a good site to work on my poker game. So far in three sessions of play I’m averaging 20 BB/hr, so there definitely is money to be made. I know that rate won’t last long, but it sure feels good now!
For other beginners out there trying Poker Tracker, I found a page explaining how to track your progress.
