I BET YOU

from Jereme Dean:
You can now watch Antonio Esfandiari and Phil Laak’s TV show I BET YOU online now. It basically entails them running around making prop bets with one another over stuff like ‘can you get that guy to give you his cowboy hat’ or other random stuff. It’s pretty entertaining, if you have nothing […]

$750k Pot: Antonious vs Gold

If you never saw this hand between Patrick Antonious and Jamie Gold on High Stakes Poker, it’s a wild one. Supposedly the highest hand they’ve had on there (though I think there may have been another after it with Doyle that passed it), but this one’s worth $750,000 grand and contains some nastiness.

WPT Texas Hold Em on a Cell Phone

Gus Blog: Bluffing

Gus Hansen’s blog is off to a pretty good start: he has a new post up now that contains a couple of scenarios where he discusses the thinking behind firing with nothing in a couple of specific hands, which is interesting to kind of get behind his mind on the subject.

Doyle’s Blog

Doyle Brunson, in a stroke of showing that old folks really can learn new new fangled technologies, now has a blog for CardPlayer magazine.
