OK, so not much activity for a while but that will be changing.
If you haven't already found this great new site, check it out. I was like, yeah ok, i'll give it a try but my mates insisted....and it just rock!
It's still a relatively new site, they only started taking real money a few days ago, but i've been beta testing for a while now and highly recommend it.

I'll be recording a new show at the weekend...but if you fancy a try, please click using the above or below links..

See you on the tables......

Small stakes update

2005-11-22T13:26:00.000-08:00

jeez has it been that long......so much for my getting a show out 'next week'

the good news is that I haven't had to put any further money into my ladbrokes account, so my original 15 or 20 quid (there or there abouts) has enabled me to play numerous tourneys and ladders and turbos over the past 3 months.

Those turbos's rule!

Think i'm about ready for another podcast.

Thanks to all the new subscribers recently, sorry that nothing new has held your interest but stick with me.....

as usual, comments or suggestions, but no spam please, to pokerpodcast@gmail.com

Episode #4 available

2005-08-03T09:42:00.000-07:00

recorded a new episode last night whilst playing a real money $5 tournament on ladbrokespoker.com
My pokerstars accounts is running low and have found that I can do instantaneous transfers using my switch card to this one....could be dangerous.

Don't want to give too much away, suffice to say that I'm dissapointed with the end result, although I have some interesting hands to reflect on.

Intro music provided by music.podshow.com (On the Sixth Day Marriott Jazz Quintet)
Various podcasts mentioned, the usual (pokerdiagram, cardclub, fivehundybymidnight and a new one radioopensource.org who has a great show about poker couple of weeks ago)

What's in a name?

2005-06-21T10:05:00.000-07:00

So I must be the only person that hasn't realised that my podcast name is the equivalent to
C.C .Chapman calling the accident hash podcast the 'podsafe music podcast'.
Poker podcast is a good domain to have, but thats about it.

So I'm asking listeners to suggest any names that they think appropriate (any names greatly appreciated, even sarcastic ones would be of interest) as I have no idea what to call it.

I'm thinking something like "The Sit & Go weekly podcast" (should of course be bi-monthly, but sounds better weekly)

Many thanks in advance

$25 poorer!

2005-06-12T14:00:00.000-07:00

Its official, I am dead money!

A few turbo $6 dollar tournaments later and all I have to show for them is the $1.43 that I haven't bet with yet.

Okay so I had a few bad beats, but the last one I'm so annoyed with myself for doing.....it went something like this....

*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Nik_Burns [6c 7c]
Incline: calls 30
Nik_Burns: calls 30
ThePlate: raises 90 to 120
OneTopDog: folds
eiflow: folds
dewajudi: folds
KaaapX: calls 105
tally1028: folds
Incline: calls 90
Nik_Burns: calls 90
*** FLOP *** [6s 7h 2s]
KaaapX: checks
Incline: checks
Nik_Burns: bets 1020
ThePlate: calls 1020
KaaapX: folds
Incline: folds
*** TURN *** [6s 7h 2s] [3c]
Nik_Burns: bets 310 and is all-in
ThePlate: calls 310
*** RIVER *** [6s 7h 2s 3c] [Qd]
*** SHOW DOWN ***
Nik_Burns: shows [6c 7c] (two pair, Sevens and Sixes)
ThePlate: shows [Qh Qs] (three of a kind, Queens)
ThePlate collected 3170 from pot

The above is a straight pokerstars hand history email.

I'd played a few pots before this one quite aggressively with strong cards and was in a gambling mood.
Now I think that had I bet all in after the flop instead of just betting 75% of my stack I think that I would have had a better chance of taking down the pot. I'm pretty sure that my weakness of not doing that enduced the call.

But I would love to hear anyones comments on the above.

The only good news out of all this fiasco is that I now have 10 frequent player points to enter a sit&go that could potentially enter me into the WSOP, but I tell you, after my recent newbie play I think I have a long way to go yet.

Comments please to pokerpodcast@gmail.com

$5 Richer!!!

2005-06-08T14:08:00.000-07:00

So I've finally taken the plunge into real gambling and invested 17 earth pounds to transfer into my new neteller account.
I put $25 into my pokerstars.com accounts and played my first money game tonight.
Of course I completely forgot to record anything but none the less after about 45 mins of playing at a 1c/2c No Limit table I find myself $5 dollars up!
The last hand I played had me on a straight flush draw (I'd already made the flush) and that hand alone made me $3.
Not a lot you might be saying, but its only the beginning.

I'll be recording something over the weekend when I try and 'live the dream' by putting all my hopes into the 'it could be me' mentality when I start on my quest to win a free wsop $10k prize package.
So watch this space......and don't forget to subscribe. (its the little xml icon on the right that you need to put into your aggregator, see ipodder.org for instructions if you are new to podcasting)

Comments on a postcard please...

2005-06-02T08:52:00.000-07:00

Hello listener(s), I'm once again trying to find time this weekend to record another show but I was hoping that those who have listened to the show could send me some comments (constructive criticism appreciated). I'll do what I can to reduce the annoying high pitch squeeks that pokerstars makes (just going to rename the relevant .wav) and hopefully the comments will be of interest, but as I don't know if anyone has actually listened to this I can't be sure.

Thanks

Nik

Show #2

2005-05-21T11:11:00.000-07:00

Finally, I get chance to record a second show. Just putting the finishing touches to it (well, trying to figure out how to add an intro to make it sound just a tad more professional)
Should be available on your ipodder by tomorrow night.

Nik

Thankyou archive.org

2005-05-19T05:26:00.000-07:00

bandwidth issues seem to have been fixed, ipodders should be able to download once again, I hope it doesn't download again for everyone, if it does, my apologies, the name had to be changed slightly to conform to archive.org's standards.

Nik

Bandwidth!

2005-05-17T22:54:00.000-07:00

well who would have thought it......my isp has suspended by website for bandwidth abuse! apparently loads of people tried to download the show last night and that closed my account. So I'm currently in the process of migrating to another host provider (which will probably be archive.org)
will keep you posted.

Nik

Update - 9am GMT rss feed changed to reflect archive.org directory structure, just awaiting confirmation that its been accepted. Should be this afternoon UK time

Delays......

2005-05-17T01:31:00.000-07:00

okay, okay, so I've been trying to do the second show for a while now, but having a young family is the priority, so good weather means much swings and roundabouts at the park and tropical garden tours.....

please bare with me, it should be recorded and posted this week....

Nik

Next installment.......

2005-05-10T14:18:00.000-07:00

Had some great ideas today for the next episode, will definitely be recording it this weekend, and going to try and get my brother involved on the commentary via skype (if he's available), also less of the 'whats happening' as oppose to whats going on in my head.............

Quid-pro-Quo

2005-05-06T04:45:00.000-07:00

seeing as the chaps over at www.pokerdiagram.com were nice enough to mention my podcast, I thought i'd better do the same.

I'm looking forward to their next installment.

my setup

2005-05-03T04:59:00.000-07:00

for the curious out there, my only setup requirement for recording this podcast was a £4 gaming mic form game.com and a copy of Audacity. I recorded both the mic and system sounds as they were produced and compressed using the lame codec at 128kbs.
If anyone can shed any light on how to adjust the recording levels so I don't get too many annoying beeps when I have '60 seconds to call that would be great. The only thing I did post-production was normalise the audio to limit the maximum -dB, as it was really squeeky beforehand.

I would also welcome any feedback from those that have taken the time to listen to this production, I'm aware that it needs a lot of work but its my first attempt I wanted to get it out there as is, worts n' all!. pokerpodcast@gmail.com

Nik

Until next time.........

2005-04-30T08:50:00.000-07:00

I'm pretty sure that most people that come to this site are already playing poker of one form or another and that they have an opinion on the way I played the hands on the podcast. I just wanted to try something and see if it worked, I have to say that it was more difficult that I expected. (next time you play online, just try and comment on every hand in detail)
so I think for my next 'session' I'll try and slow down the play and really talk about my reasoning for the plays that I do make, at least then it will be easier to follow, for having listened to it the other day on the way to work sometimes I lost what was going on (and I played the hands for gods sake!)

Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated and I hope to add more listeners soon.

Cheers

Nik

Now, for those of you who play poker, I apologise. I've been thinking of doing something like this for a while, as I haven't found anyone else doing it. - Edit, although I heard something on Lord Admiral that someone is also doing something similiar but for real money....

I hope some people get something out of it, I've been playing for fun online for a few years now and I like to think that I play to a good standard, but I'm by no means an expert....

Enjoy and feedback welcome at pokerpodcast@gmail.com

Cheers

Update

2005-04-20T11:41:00.000-07:00

Nearly ready to start recording, just need to find a spare hour to go through an online sit&go tournamen........
