One of a Kind: The Rise and Fall of Stuey ',The Kid', Ungar, The World's Greatest Poker Player
No strategy here but, a very entertaining read. It's similiar to Mike Matusow's story except Matusow cleaned up his life. Stuey Unger never got off drugs and this is what led to his demise. Unger was obviously the best poker player of his time and some say maybe the best ever. Follow his story from his upbringing of mafia like childhood to poker champion and his downfall related to drugs. He was close friends with alot of the famous poker players known today like Mike Sexton. Alot of his friends say he would have been great for poker television today because of his agressive style of play and his chatter at the tables. Check this one out definitely.

First run at the $12s
I've been gettin my butt kicked at the $12s. I've been running bad too. I don't think I want to destroy my bankroll. If things don't get any better, I'll go back down to the $6.50s and work on my game before I go back to the $12s. I'll wait to see how it plays out. My bankroll has been as high as $1359 but, I'm down to $1214 right now.

Mike Matusow: Check-Raising the Devil
This was a really great read. You won't find much strategy here but, it's very entertaining. I had no idea Matusow went through so much. He's lead a very colorful life from a poor upbringing, drugs, jail, dealing poker, high stakes poker, and a champion many times over. I remember seeing him for the first time on a WSOP episode. It was the year Raymer won. I thought Matusow was such an asshole and I remember saying, It's like he's on drugs or something. Well, he was. He suffers from depression and other things. Basically, he self medicated himself before seeking professional help. I won't go into any more detail because I don't want to ruin a good read. Check this one out and you won't be displeased.

Hands Free Poker
Personally, I wouldn't buy this because it seems like my voice would give out after awhile. Also, it's a little slow and I could get alot more accomplished faster with a mouse or Xbox 360 controller. I think this is for someone who doesn't play long sessions or they have carpal tunnel syndrome and this is the only way for them to play. However, it looks really cool and would be a neat toy to have. It's an interesting idea. If you have a game controller, they have software you can purchase. Enjoy the video.
The Micros
Holiday Special
I missed this one. Not as good as the first one but, still good. The end with Erik Seidel was funny.

Poker Leaderboard
I finished 2010 with a goal accomplished. I'm #12 on the Sharkscope Leaderboard for NLHE Turbo 9 Man $2 or less. It's only the micros but, I've always wanted a star on Sharkscope. TBH I never thought I could do something like that. I played just over 2000 tournaments at this level with a 9% ROI. I think that's good especially considereing the rake at these low levels. 20% rake for the $1s and 12.5% rake for the $2s. I'll be looking forward to the $6s because the rake is just under 9%. My bankroll is at $1051. I'm way overrolled for the $6s but, I'm working my way up the limits. Just hope the $6s treat me as well as the micros.
