It’s only about 5 more weeks until Season Five of High Stakes Poker. Evidently, Barry took a bit of a beating this time. As a reminder, even if you don’t get GSN, the show is uploaded to YouTube in 4 separate 15-minute increments shortly after each airing.

I finally got off my ass on the ball and dowloaded Poker Tracker. It’s pretty damn cool. I am still figuring out all the bells and whistles, but here’s 3 neat things:

 

1. I learned that I am paying just south of $9 per “hour” in rake at $3-$6 NLHE. When I play two tables at once, I pay $18 per hour. Seems steep.

 

2. I definitely don’t have enough hand history, as demonstrated by what hand is my third most profitable starting hand (sample of 3 times I was dealt). 

3. You can run neat graphs on how you did each day. This is today.

I’m sold.

When the Dallas media takes a break

When the Dallas media takes a break from covering the Cowboys, they occasionally cover something that I find interesting. Today’s paper had an article on poker.

It mainly covers the underground scene, but it also makes brief mention of the bill proposed last session by Rep. Jose Menendez, D-San Antonio.

Maybe the economic downturn will force the state to look for new sources of revenue. I think we’ll get it some day, but probably not soon.
