Scott talks about his life and what it's like being a poker player.

Finding the best poker game on the web

One aspect of playing poker is to find a game you can beat. Throughout my poker career, I looked for poker games that are easy action. For example, there are some really easy games in New Mexico at the Sandia Indian Casino. Everyone calls, the games are very high action and are very good.  Sadly, [...]



How to play poker at the major online poker sites and still live in the U.S.

IMAG0006

Because of the recent ban on US players on many of the popular online poker sites, a friend recently asked me if I could think of anyway that US players could get around this and continue to play. I think there is. WARNING – Before attempting this please note, none of this has been tested, so proceed [...]



Funding confusion at AbsolutePoker.com

I recently opened an account with AsolutePoker.com because I was thinking about funding my account. These fucking ding-dongs! Read the response I get after emailing them. I am not sure what happened but, half of the email seems to be from UB, and the other is absolutepoker.com Dear Mr, Asher. Thank you for your email. For your [...]



Cheating at Ameristar Black Hawk – Colorado

I recently visited the Ameristar in Black Hawk Colorado to play a little poker. A few days ago I was in a hand that I believe was collusion. I had been watching a few players on the table. The game was little wild, so it was hard to really put your finger on anything. A short time later [...]

Want to become a Pro-Poker player?

Learn to lose, this  is the downfall of so many players. Many poker players will chase their losses in the pit. Some poker players look at this as their idea of gambling. Being in action is part of the game. I think, learning to lose in a manner that minimizes the damage to your bankroll is more important that winning [...]



Biggest weakness in my poker game

There is little doubt in my mind that I am one of the better card players out there. But only because of my unquenchable thirst to take my game to the next level. Right now, I only feel like I have short periods where I really feel challenged. Other weakness: One thing I still find [...]



Ideas for poker websites

(With poker websites being very over done right now) At one point, I wanted to make a poker website that would prove or disprove if someone was a winning poker player. Following a poker player for 30-90 days, tracking wins and losses and analyzing his play. I think in the future some interesting stories will start [...]



Limits and poker games around the country I like to play

$9-$18 - Game at the Commerce in LA with 3 dollar chips. Very fun game, lots of action, massive pots! $15-$30 – With a half/kill and the $5-$5-$10 Pot Limit hold’em game at the Sandia in New Mexico. $20-$40 - Limit Hold’em in Mississippi. $15-$30 - Hawaiian Gardens. $10-$20 – Game in Deadwood (weekends only) $10-$20 – Stud [...]



Poker on T.V.

I am not impressed with poker on tv. I do however like High Stakes Poker on GSN. I wish they would have let them continue with the props. But who cares! You are the one that wanted to film poker players. This was an extra layer that I feel was adding to the raw look [...]



How I feel about poker

I don’t feel that the game of professional poker has progressed in a sustainable way. I think many people start playing poker without a full understanding of the game. They see it on TV and think “oh, I could do that.” So they start playing and get lost in it until they feel the need [...]
