Poker Revenue from Legalized Online Gambling

From cardplayer.com:
“A Price Waterhouse Coopers (PWC) study revealed that the United States has the potential to collect at least $8.7 billion and up to $17.6 billion in the next 10 years if it would tax and regulate online gambling, including poker. And those figures don’t include potential sports wagers.”

Poker Girls

I like how a lot of poker advertising, particularly online, has so much in common with the ads in muscle car magazines.

Only In a Casino

I once knocked out a champion prizefighter with a pair of threes in the hole.
I’ve had a pony-tailed Italian with a Hawaiian shirt flush with chest-hair sit and whisper in my ear about his years of running coke from Austin to L.A., while I played cards and ordered another bottled water from the waitress. [...]

Online Railbirds

It can be interesting sometimes to go watch pros play at Full Tilt or wherever. I used to keep a table open with, say, Gus Hansen or John Juanda or Eric Seidel while I was playing my own tables, just to have something to watch while I waited between hands. I guess you could think [...]

Where do you play?

Massive thanks again to Jereme for taking up the slack in my absence.
Thinking about some new places to play online, to see how they match up with Full Tilt’s seemingly grandiose pots. Anybody play at some of the smaller, lesser known sites and enjoy? Thoughts on where to buy in next would be awesome.
Where do [...]
