New Home

Welcome to my new blog!  With the recent developments pertaining to online poker in this country, I’ve decided to move my blog to a new home.  When online poker does or if it ever comes back I will be playing under the name “JPFelder” (or JPFelderr if the former is already taken).  No real reason for the change of name, but just thought it was time to reintroduce myself to the online poker world when the time comes.  Although the URL has changed, the content will still be pretty much of the same.  But the frequency of posting will increase.  This is a promise.

Not much has happened since the last time I posted.  I made a deposit of $200 on Bodog back in July and was able to run it up to a little over $5k by September. I went on a little downswing, cashed $4700 of it out, then decided to take a break for most of September and beginning of October.  I really wanted to move to a different site that offered PLO & PLO8 tournaments but it seemed very difficult to find.  My prayers were answered when the Merge network re-opened there sites to U.S. players so I just deposited a $100 and plan to make a similar run on this site.  My preliminary thoughts on the site are good.  A lot more PLO cash game tables, the layout and graphics are pretty good, and the tournaments get decent turnouts.  I mean nothing like the fields from the Stars and FTP days but they’ll do.  Plus I also have the chance to earn rakeback, which is just huge for a full time player, so definitely looking forward to taking advantage of that.  Don’t know how the support is or what the average wait time for check withdrawals are so that will definitely be something I find out soon.

Now that I’ve graduated from college, I no longer have an excuse to not update this blog regularly so this is a promise.  The blog will be updated at LEAST once every two weeks and most likely once a week so check back regularly.  Also you can follow me on twitter “@JPFelderr”.   I’ll be tweeting everyday bankroll, tourney results and other useless benign observations so don’t forget to click that follow button.  For those that don’t have/want to get a twitter account, I’ll be setting up a twitter feed on this page soon so you can just check this page to get those updates as well. Aight well thats whats new for now.  Time to get in a couple of cash game sessions before tourneys start. Shipshape.
