- Returning to the Scene of the Crime
If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!Looks like I’ll be back in Sin City for the July 4th weekend. My buddy Michael twisted my arm pretty hard so I broke down and booked a room at the Monte Carlo. Should be interesting to see [...]
- OddJack City
I’m not quite sure what I think of OddJack yet. At times it can be amusing but does the world really need a smarmy take on gaming? Perhaps Nick Denton’s other blogs like Gawker play to a different crowd of people who like to belittle the non-accomplishments of Manhattan’s elite but the entire [...]
- Poker Jumps the Shark (Again)
Now with Party as a public company, the mainstream press is starting to take a more serious look at the economics of the industry rather than focusing on college kids making $90,000. The latest mainstream press publication to get in on the act was The Economist which asks if online gaming is a blue-chip [...]
- Content Thief Mad His Content Is Stolen
This thread at PartyRiches.com is so rich. A guy goes on there complaining that some Google-Rank whore has stolen content from his website. Then someone reminds him that he had ripped off content from someone else on the message board just a few months ago and got caught. Here’s his well reasoned [...]
- I Have a New Poker Nemesis
Played in the weekly blogger tournament at HDouble’s pad last night. It was HDouble, Mrs. HDouble, Franklin, Chris the Geek, Lance (of the infamous home game fame), Full Tilt Chris, Ryan and moi.
We started off playing a little Stud Hi-Lo to mix things up a bit. Pretty normal. Nothing too [...]

- WPBT - Oct / Vegas?
Well, that looks like what the voters want. I had a conversation with the Prof about possible locations but he’s a little tied up covering some other rinky-dink tournament going on in Vegas right now. I’ve also had some conversations with unnamed sources about some cool stuff we might be able to pull [...]
- The Futility of Affiliate Programs for Poker Bloggers
I’ve had more than a few conversations about affiliate programs with my fellow bloggers and I’m becoming more and more convinced that any attempt to generate significant income via these programs is an exercise in futility. I know, I can already hear the gasps out there but let me explain.
The typical affiliate program pays [...]
- Sklansky and the Hammer
Yes, it’s true that a raise might win the pot instantly often enough to make it worth doing. If so, go ahead and do it with seven-deuce, not ace-queen suited. Either way you will have to fold if reraised. But if you do it with ace-queen, you have in fact, made it [...]
- Condolences
Unfortunately Charlie Tuttle lost his battle with cancer Tuesday evening. Condolences go out to his family and to his go-the-extra-mile buddy, Spaceman. Pauly’s piece over at FoxSports tells the story pretty well.
