Poker Mood

I haven’t been playing much lately. At most once a week and some days a few sit n go tournaments. I feel better about the game when I have a while to relax on it. I’d been playing too much and got too wrapped up in the day to day, and as a result started […]

NBC Heads up Poker Championship List

The full roster of the NBC Heads up Poker Championship has now been announced. I’d like to take a little look at this list and see how well they did. Some are pretty obvious. Others, less so:
1. Alexander, Jason: I guess you have to get some celebs to boost non-poker players’ interest? Meh.
2. Antonius, Patrik
3. […]

Top 10 Things I Like About the Gold Strike in Tunica MS

10. The buffet, no matter how many times I eat it and am disappointed, always seems like the best damn idea on earth.
9. Poker room rates: $30 a night on weekdays, $50 on weekends, if you play just 8 hours a day. Nice deal.
8. The locals: you’ve never seen so many elderly rednecks who will […]

Another Poker Movie

On March 21st, there’s a new poker movie coming out: THE GRAND. Strange thing is: it actually sounds good. It’s an improv comedy, almost entirely unscripted, about 6 players who make their way to the final table of a $10 million first prize poker tournament.
The cast has some pretty decent folks in it: Woody Harrelson […]

Making Huge Hands

Last night at our local homegame, I made a natural royal flush: AJ suited in diamonds flopped the flush draw, and filled in with the Q of diamonds on the river. The turn had paired the board and gave another player trips, but as with most cases where you make a hand of this caliber, […]

Poker Fratboy

Gotta love it when the fratboy sits down at the table. Situates his cell phone. Puts on his glasses and flips his collar.
I remember sitting at a table in Tunica once when a guy who was so fratted out that even the dealer had to comment. Something like “Nice Travel Channel glasses.”
Strange too how […]

Congrats on a Fine Job

What do people do with themselves?
How do you play poker?
What is a job and where do the jobs go?
What is eaten from a tray?
Every card is a little window and people with beer guts are sitting in them.
They scratch themselves in certain places.
The Beer Nuts are to the left of the TV.
I have a small […]

A Live Hand (hosted by Party Poker)

This hand, from a Party Poker live event, plays pretty much exactly like most of the hands you see online several times an hour. It’s almost like they reenacted one of any of a billion hands I’ve seen online in the past few weeks. Though live, it’s a little more ridiculous seeming:

I love the Party […]
