Going into week twelve of the Monday night game, the points standings are as follows: Me (71 pts) Chip (62 pts) Marc (60 pts) Chris (52 pts) Lee (47 pts) Dale (38 pts)
I'm a poker player trying to improve his game. I've played for a few years and tracked my results, and I'm a consistent winner at small stakes. I'd like to move up and begin playing at casino limits, as I'm mostly a home-game player playing $10-$50 buy-in games. Ideally, this blog will allow me to discuss the game with other people and get some insight on better play.

What is a railbird?
Here are how some poker authors have defined it:
Railbird: chattering spectator (from Positively Fifth Street by Jim McManus)
Railbird: a non-playing spectator or kibitzer, often used of a broke ex-player. (from Big Deal by Tony Holden)
Rail: The place from which spectators and losers watch the action. "When Brad made his flush at the river to beat my set of aces, I was forced to join the other losers on the rail." (from No Limit Texas Hold'em by Brad Dougherty & Tom McEvoy)
