  1. The Most Important Info

    05/08/09 22:28:55 | 0 Comments

    In all the various forms of spiritual/religious belief and expression, there is one simple thing everyone needs to know. It's the one thing that if you know it, really know it, all the rest is pretty much commentary. That one thing is simply that your life is eternal. Not after you die, not if you behave yourself, not in some far-flung resurrection you wait for in a cosmic coma, but right now, and before and after and always.

    No one ever really figures out much about The Way...
  2. Changing Gears: Why I Stopped Writing for 2+2 - What Comes Next

    04/04/09 21:41:57 | 0 Comments

    This April's article on Heads-up Razz will be my last for the foreseeable future and I didn't give much notice to anyone but Dynasty. I didn't even give him that much. So while it seems sudden, it's actually been in the works for a while. I had loosely planned in the "sorta-kinda-see-what-happens" way to write two more articles and have June 1 be my stop date. But a few things happened, one of which was the SCOOP.

    I know I've spoken briefly about the...

    Now that I've cleared a lot of time, let's see if playing more equals making more.

    MARCH: 4060 hands in Razz made $212.19 4.32 BB/100
    (This is mostly at .50/1 - my actual WR/HR was $4.90 with some higher limits mixed in)
    I started with the basic $60 (enough for .10/.20) and now have $332.44. In March I earned an old reload bonus of $62.50 and made a tiny bit of microHORSE money and also $22 from a tournament (well - it was a sat to the $22 SCOOP and I was...
  5. The Razz the Hand Rating System

    If you don't know the difference between Absolute and Relative Hand Value, go to the blog and read this. Links to the original Razzmath articles are in the 2+2 Articles Forum.

    Absolute:
    A-5 = 2 pts each 1 pt bonus...
  6. Full Tilt microRazz Bankroll Challenge

    03/17/09 11:50:01 | 0 Comments

    Here's the blog post - and here's the deal:

    For Getting Started in Razz, I really want to do a series on bankroll building. When Full Tilt recently introduced new minmicro limits, I decided to repeat the Stars challenge (found around here someplace) and write up guidelines for play and taking shots and controlling loss. It will...
  7. Lis' Personal Blog - Jan 2009

    01/01/09 14:57:03 | 0 Comments

    The January issue of 2+2 went up today with the next Razzmath article: Playing a Brick for Fun and Profit. Thing is, I screwed it up. Just before the magazine is published, all the authors get an email and a link to check their articles before publication for errors. This came in the middle of the night and I did that and found a few errors I asked Kiera to fix, she is just the best. So she does, and I go reread it and realize my "fix"...
  8. Getting Started in Razz - Introduction

    11/21/08 13:19:15 | 0 Comments

    I'm going to be putting another "introductory" article on the blog for this, so there is info in both places. Soon as I get that up I'll link it here. This is going to be my project for the next few weeks.

    I believe this kind of information will be as valuable to the high stakes winning player as the micro/low stakes newbie. A lot of the issues with starting Razz have to do with the fact that 99.9% of all exclusive Razz is played online, and 90% of all players new...
  9. About Listening (me!)

    08/30/08 21:25:53 | 0 Comments

    I really will have to put some stuff in here to let the YUKU community know what this forum is about.

    I'm the admin, this is my forum. I am "listening" which is my poker handle on Poker Stars. I play Razz, that's a variant of poker, a Stud variant and it's the only game I play right now. I play anyplace from micro to 10/20, but usually 2/4, 3/6 are my most common limits. Like a lot of people, I'm still building my bankroll.

    I write a...
