Trip Report: Analyzing My Play at WPT Montreal
Created By: Courtney Gee Posted in: Courtney Gee Poker Blog
Editor's note: Get up to speed with Part 1 of this trip report here.
Day 2 of WPT Montreal started with 302 players remaining. 73 players were scheduled to cash and I thought there was a chance the bubble would happen before the day was over, so I was hoping for another long session of poker.
My table was tougher than the table I left at the end of Day 1. I had a couple large stacks to my left, and there was someone I knew to be an online pro to my right.
It wasn’t an extremely tough table, but there weren’t any blatant donators like there had been at my first table.

Trip Report: R&R and Poker at WPT Montreal Part 1
Created By: Courtney Gee Posted in: Courtney Gee Poker Blog, Tournament Trail
When I made the decision to postpone Malta, I started looking into alternate smaller trips I could take in the spring or summer.
I found out about WPT Montreal, a $3.3k tournament at Playground Poker, and it seemed like a slam dunk. People always say that May is a great time to go out East, and I’d never been to Montreal before.
It was also just a 5 hour flight to get there, which seemed perfect for a short vacation without too much hassle.

Poker Gym Offers Interactive Poker Training for Cheap
Created By: Arthur Crowson Posted in: Positively Nerd Street, Poker Gadgets and Technology
Poker Gym is a straightforward poker-training app that caught our eye earlier this year.
We played around with the software (which is entirely in-browser, btw) for a few hours this week and really liked what the Poker Gym team was bringing to the table.
Poker Gym emphasizes fundamentals and gives players a chance to practice their newfound knowledge on a simulated table.
The training program is broken down into six major components: Counting Odds, Break-even Pot Size, Hand Equity Concept, Combos, Preflop Hand Equity Values and Flop Statistics.
Counting Odds and Break-even Pot Size are free while the other four components cost from $.99 to $2.99 a piece. We tried out the two free components as well as the $2.99 Hand Equity Concept in our review.
Each component has a learning session, which explains concepts and a practice session where you put the concepts into use at the poker table by completing a quiz. A Poker Gym, so to speak.

Battle for the Ages: The Isildur1 vs. Bttech86 Graph
Created By: Arthur Crowson Posted in: Positively Nerd Street, Poker Gadgets and Technology
To say Viktor “Isildur1” Blom vs. Ben “Bttech86” Tollerene has captured the interest of high-stakes poker fans would be a bit of an understatement.
Tollerene and Blom, two of the biggest winners in the nosebleeds on Full Tilt this year, have been locked in an epic heads-up battle for the last month and it seems like the match will only end when one of them is busto.
It makes the durrrr Challenge look like a senior citizen’s game that occurs once every couple months.
Bttech86 vs. Isildur1 features multi-million dollar swings at some of the highest stakes ever played online. It’s the must-see TV of the online world.
Although it doesn’t seem like Bttech86 will stop playing Isildur1 anytime soon, we thought it would be a good time to look at the numbers between both players this year in a special ThingLink graph below.

Poker Notes Live Brings Online Style Notes to Real World
Created By: Arthur Crowson Posted in: Positively Nerd Street, Poker Gadgets and Technology
Online poker players have been able to take advanced notes for years but new Android App Poker Notes Live attempts to bring that functionality to live poker.
It’s common to see the occasional poker player jotting down notes using a piece of paper or even making quick audio notes using a tape recorder but Poker Notes Live streamlines the process with a graphical representation of your table.
Similar to online poker, you can click an opponent and write down notes about them. Those notes stay around for as long as you want them. You can also assign players names and chip counts.
Taking up just 2.4mb, Poker Notes Live also offers some self-tracking functionality including win-loss ratio per session, buy-in and tips given. You can then email your notes to your desktop computer.
We had a quick whirl with the app and liked how it was implemented but you definitely need some discipline to keep entering meticulous notes, which is how the Poker Notes Live app becomes really useful.

Poker is a Horrible Form of Income for Planning Anything
Created By: Courtney Gee Posted in: Courtney Gee Poker Blog, The Online Grind
Last time I talked about earning money for a three-month trip to Malta. Because I wanted to give notice to my landlords at the end of the month, I had to make all the money necessary for the trip in March.
The pressure was on.
I’m not saying it’s Murphy’s Law or anything, but let’s just say that March did not go well.
