Best Damn Poker Show Auditions

Oh man, I just found some gold.
I looked up Annie Duke youtube for a video to post of her in gear being the most annoying presence in poker.
Instead I found a whole slew of audition videos people had cut trying to get on the Best Damn Poker Show.
Dudes in their Full Tilt Caps holding chips […]

Catgirl Poker

If you missed, this, you might want to have another look.
I always wondered when they’d start incorporating strip poker into this whole poker boom thing.
Could be worse.

Jordan Morgan on Big Stacks

Decent article by Jordan Morgan this week at Full Tilt on how to play big stacks at a final table.
I like watching Morgan play. He has a good mind for cards I think. I like ‘thinking players.’
Here’s an excerpt:
When there’s a log-jam of players who all have about equal size stacks, I’m willing to play […]

Backgammon Anyone?

Watching this video made me remember that I’ve always wanted to dig into backgammon as an alternative to poker. I’m a little poker bored, it seems, and I remember from playing backgammon when I was much younger that it was fun and interesting. Another kind of strategy.

Childhood Sports

Here at the b5media sports channel, we were asked to post a memory about sports from our childhood. I think I missed the post timeline, but I figured I should still go ahead and jump on board. I never was that athletic of a kid. I was too engrossed in reading and making crap up […]

Why Allen Cunningham is a Killer

Here’s a hand between Phil Ivey and Allen Cunningham in a live No limit hold em cash game via Full Tilt Poker.

Love Cunningham’s play on this hand. Not raising the flop with crap on board. Just calling the turn. Laying down to the obvious value bet on the river. So many other players, I think […]

Gus Hansen’s Book is Out

Gus Hansen’s EVERY HAND REVEALED is now out. You can get it for 33% off at Amazon, though I’m probably supposed to tell you to support an independent press or a local independent bookstore.
I can’t help it, Amazon is always cheapest.

I am totally stoked about this book. Just from Gus’s recent posts on his blog, […]

From regular commenter Jason, a list of his top 5 women player, as synthesized in many commenters’ mutual disgust for Annie Duke:
I think coming up with a Top 10 isn’t easy, but I’ll give it a whirl….

Phil Ivey is a Nasty Man

tipped off by Jereme Dean: Phil Ivey’s million dollar bluff

Yeah, this video just proves more than most any other I’ve seen even of him that Phil Ivey is one gross gross poker player. Raising all-in to the second reraise just because you are sure your opponent wouldn’t make the play with a monster is beyond […]
