Party Poker Hand Histories

Part of the purpose of the Party Poker Hand History Replayer is to let you view your own histories and histories on the forums with greater ease. The other purpose of the replayer is to give you a first person perspective of poker from an expert player's point of view. I have always been a hands-on learner myself and think that learning by example is very useful. Of course, I have my poker pages on internet poker strategies and poker traps that cover somewhat advanced strategies, but to me, reading is just not the same.

As a result, I've also decided to upload and comment on my own poker games from time to time. So most all of these Party Poker histories here (unless noted otherwise) contain commentaries from me that explain most of my strategies and why I play the way I do. These are geared toward the beginning or intermediate internet poker player who is familiar with general poker strategy but want to see how to analyze various situations.

As a disclaimer, I want to say that I'm not a poker professional and don't play for a living. That said, I regularly win at $30 buy-in single table tournaments, NL/PL 50 ring games and am slowly moving may way to $50 SnG games - both limit and no limit.

So, enjoy the histories - please post in the forums if you have any problems with them. Thanks!

This is a series of $10+1 STT games that I made for the rapid attack tournament, playing 28 games in 4 hours through 6-tabling.
