The Basics of Competitive Poker
January 20th, 2011 1 Comment
Around 4 years ago, I picked up the game (Texas Hold ‘em) and have been hooked since. And yup, poker’s real hot here in the country. You see it in TV and everyone wants to emulate their pro idols. I’m not an expert or a pro. But after picking up some basics online and practicing with my buddies during home games, I’m getting there.
When I have the time, I also visit poker houses in the metro and practice online poker. My biggest achievement was having to play with real pros last year in the $1M APPT here in Manila. I didn’t cash, but it was one helluva experience.
Meanwhile, here are a few tips that I’d like to share if you’d like to become better at poker.

TV: The Walking Dead
December 14th, 2010 5 Comments
Being a Zombie buff (and yes, I hereby declare the year 2010 as The Year of the Zombies), I’m currently addicted to the new US TV series, The Walking Dead. Based on a comic book by Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore, the TV series is a good adaptation… with a lot of tweaks and edits to make the pacing and action stand out on TV.
I just finished watching Episode 6, which is my favorite so far. We’re just a couple of days behind the US showing. If you have cable, The Walking Dead is shown on Fox (check your cable’s TV scheds for local showings).
More of the Walking Dead (plot summary, stills and a trailer) after the jump…
