Guaranteed Solution To Stop Sharks From Eating Sports Book Fish

January 30, 2012 Online Poker

The Fallout From The Full Tilt / PokerStars Pullout

April 16, 2011 Is Online Poker Legal?

I said I was going to cover what this all means on a few topics when I got home and as I start to write this it’s 6:07am and I’ve just spent a sleepless night on the bus from Phetchabun so I’ll probably just do a quick draft and finish up after I get a [...]

June 15, 2010 Poker

“A Mexican, a Jew and a colored fellow walk into a bar… The bartender looks up and says… Get the f*** out of here.” Some of you might recognize that as one of the many racist comments made by Clint Eastwood’s character in the film Grand Torino. It is also what Victory Poker pro player [...]

July 25, 2009 Poker

Recently Pokerati Dan posted the following on Twitter: @Pokerati: the (temporary) lack of inspiration and passion in poker media’s coverage of late (guilty) makes me giggle.

Slow News Day at Bluff

July 4, 2009 Poker

The World Series of Poker Bores Me

July 12, 2008 Poker

I was reading this post from super poker affiliate Jeremy Enke about the fact that your average affiliate stands to gain more from his affiliate related activities than he does from playing poker. I’m not sure I completely agree with that but he said something that got my big old head nodding in agreement. I [...]
