Ok, so I am guest blogging for Blake. We’ll keep it light hearted for the first post.
Blake had previously mentioned his disdain for poker commercials which I think most of us agree are pretty bad.
Full Tilt has a few that are actually funny but I have not seen on TV. Check them out.

One more post before Mr. Dean steps in:
I had a dream last night where I was on High Stakes Poker. I had a crapload of money that I somehow knew was everything I’ve made and will make in the future all in front of me. I knew if I lost I would never have another […]

If you read the comments section of this blog you no doubt have seen Jereme’s great thoughts on the game, and I’m excited to […]

Daniel Negreanu is indeed one of the best readers in the game, at least the TV would make you think. I wonder how many times he called out what other players had incorrectly, and then they just picked where he got it right and they made him look this good. But still, it’s pretty impressive.

Has anybody ever been in on a bad beat jackpot? I’ve met a few old guys who say they have, and I know they happen. That must be the best feeling in the world. The whole poker room on fire and newly gambling with their free money. Either that or they clear out to go […]

I’ve always wanted to […]

1. My hand, many times, several of which my whole arm went numb for 20-30 minutes, and I felt afraid I’d really messed something up.
2. The arm on my rolling desk chair (this took many months of beating it, but it’s totally loose now and flapping like a wing).
3. My old computer monitor: one […]

Pretty decent article by lesser known pro Ben Roberts over at Full Tilt’s weekly-ish pro columns
Here’s a good excerpt: “Look at how you approach a coin flip situation. If you’re winning at the time you’re faced with a coin flip, you’re going to be more hesitant to take that chance because you don’t want to […]

I wonder how many pornos have poker scenes in them. I wonder how many big ol’ boys who could sit at a table for six years as long as you brought them lasagna and stew and PBR have gotten randy over such scenes, even more so because it’s poker related than because of the girls. […]
