A Word about Quickies

I enjoy playing no-limit Texas Hold’em and consider myself a professional amateur (just as I consider myself a professional amateur trader). Paradise runs tournaments named “Quickies,” so called because the levels last only six minutes. When the blinds double that quickly, luck plays a larger role than usual; if you don’t make a move early on, you’re not going to do well.

Patience is a virtue in poker, but not in a Quickie tournament. Nevertheless, I still like competing in the low stakes ($3, $5, $7) 50 and 100 player games.

    howard: I cropped the screenshot of the Tournament results window. It would be nice if someone would make a widget that would monitor the upcoming poker tournaments across all the main poker sites.
