Poker. Travel. Repeat.
As a very avid poker player then I obviously read or make it my goal to read as much as possible. I do this for numerous reasons, firstly I love poker, secondly I want to educate myself and thirdly…….well thirdly I have no life. However post 2006 and the UIGEA then I decided to go…
In case you haven’t heard, Phil Hellmuth captured his 13 WSOP bracelet the other week in Cannes. It was his second bracelet of the year after taking down the $2500 Razz event in Las Vegas earlier this summer. This WSOPE title makes Hellmuth the only person to have won both a WSOP and WSOP Main…

First off, I would just like to say thanks to Bill for allowing me the chance to write for his site. I have been a regular reader off and on for a while after discovering that his was one of the highest read blogs around at this time. So when you hear something like that…
While the impact on poker players and poker operators has been well documented not only in the poker community but also in the mainstream media, not a lot has been said about how affiliates were impacted.

I say painful because between the PokerNews interview and this, I’ve endured 6.5 hours of this story. A story where only about 1…
I think this sums up my reactions to various Howard Lederer statements made in Part I of the Parvis interview.
If you felt like the Lederer Files left a lot unanswered, take a stroll down memory lane with Howard as he I don’t know’s it through the interview.
Just got done watching parts 5, 6, and 7 and it’s just more of Howard seeming a bit out of touch. Howard laments the fact that people didn’t seem to be working towards resolution and people like Ivey put their own interests before the players’. Phil Ivey’s Betrayal Ever since this first began I have…
I’ve watched the first four episodes of the Howard Lederer interviews multiple times since they were released. I’ve read and re-read Andy Bloch’s interview with Diamond Flush. I’ve begun to write a post about both several times. Because both are so lengthy and cover so much ground, it’s difficult to find a concise way to…
Anybody who has been reading this site for a while may remember that I’ve written about Zynga real money poker in the past. Originally, I wanted to dispel the idea that Zynga was guaranteed to become the next PokerStars due to their size and player base. At the time, I noted that Zynga had failed…
