Internet Poker Indictments: Enabling Comments to Allow Questions

Previously, because I was getting mainly spam comments, I have had comments disabled on this page. I’m going to enable comments on my substantive posts, and ask that you only post questions as comments. I’ll answer the questions in subsequent posts.

Premium Paid Content is Going Up!

This is a pretty exciting step in the evolution of mpethypoker.com. Today, I put up the first of what I hope will be an extensive library of paid content aimed at helping you do your own leak finding in Hold Em Manager and Poker Tracker 3.

In the usual 2 hour coaching session I do for NL $50 and $25 players, I intentionally focus the effort in plugging the major leaks in a player’s game. Necessarily, we don’t spend the time required to plug all leaks.

The paid content on this site will close that gap. For a modest price, you’ll receive access to step-by-step leak finding worksheets on a variety of different poker situations so you can analyze your own game.

The first of these worksheets deals with isolating limpers. It is never a major leak in a player’s game, but it is very often a minor leak. So it was a good place to start the paid content. For only $7.00 and about two hours of your own time, you’ll be able to identify and start the process of plugging the five or six different types of leaks that show up in the isolation games of even some of the best micro and small stakes grinders.

If you apply the advice in the article and identify your existing isolation play leaks, it’ll easily pay for itself in your next session. To buy the article, just go to the Poker Articles (Not So Free) page and click on the Paypal checkout button.

I’ll be adding more premium content in the near future, so check back often.

Hey, you. I’m talking to you.

I signed up for a Google Analytics account. Among all of the interesting information that Google provides was the fact that one lone visitor to my web site is using a dial up connection. Yep; a dial up connection.

I’m trying to remember the last time I used a dial up connection, and I am drawing a blank. I know I was using dial-up at home back when I lived in Blacksburg, Virginia, which would have been in the ’95-’99 time frame.  But I can’t recall when I made the switch to DSL–I’m thinking it was in ’01 or so, but I’m not sure.

So to that one person out there using dial up: There has got to be a story there, and I’d be interested to hear it. If you want to stay anonymous, then just know you have my sympathy.

I Still Hate WordPress, But I Love WordPress Plug-Ins

The day before yesterday, I would not have been able to give you a good definition of a plug-in. I’d heard of them, of course, but I never installed one that wasn’t a media player of some kind, and I had never spent any time looking into what they were, how they worked or anything like that.

InMotion Hosting Support Rocks!

I first put this web site up on August 4, and people started looking at it on the fifth. After it was up just a day or two, I decided I didn’t like the way it looked, and wanted a more modern-looking theme. Some of the folks in the uFR chat thread suggested I use WordPress, so I planned to switch over from the site builder that came with my hosting package to a WordPress-based site.

I had no idea how hard it is to remove a web site, especially, when, like me, you have no clue what you are doing. Needless to say, I messed things up pretty badly. I had two problems: Continue reading

Two “Home” Links in Header

If anybody can post a comment explaining (in simple words a n00b can understand) how to remove one of the two “Home” links in the header, I will owe you one.

Test Post

I hate WordPress. I have had this garbage software installed on my computer now for less than 48 hours, and I am as pissed off as I can remember being recently. The number of things that I want to be able to do and can’t has already topped at least 20. And here I am writing a test post to find out which page of my web site this crap software is going to publish this to. I’m betting it lands on the home page, because I checked the box to make my front page a static web page, and it would just be a miracle if something actually went as planned.
