January 13, 2012 Online Poker

I just got done reading Nathan BlackRain79 Williams’ new eBook, “Crushing the Microstakes” and thought I would do a quick post to let people know about it.

Poker Chip Cuff Links from Cuffitt

January 11, 2012 Poker

Seeing as how away from the office I normally just wear t-shirts or polo shirts, it might come as a surprise that I do have a decent collection of dress shirts. Most I had custom tailored in Thailand and just a little less than half I had made with French cuffs. So when Noah, from [...]

Reviewing Tri “Slowhabit” Nguyen’s “How I Made My First Million from Poker”

December 1, 2011 Online Poker

I just got done reading a pre-release copy of Tri “Slowhabit” Nguyen’s “How I Made My First Million from Poker.”  It’s definitely not your typical poker book and if you’ve read some of Nguyen’s previous books on poker strategy this is an entirely new look at the game.

Review: The Mental Game of Poker

May 30, 2011 Online Poker

Barry Carter was kind enough to send me over a copy of the book he and Jared Tendler wrote, The Mental Game of Poker.
