WSOP Bracelets are mostly Men’s

Overheard tonight on the 2007 WSOP Main event, from an amateur and rather rugged-looked long-haired player late in the game after getting busted in a huge pot by Scotty Nguyen:
“Gitchee another bracelet.”
Only in poker or trailer park honeymoons does it come out quite like that.

Pros Killing the 2008 WSOP So Far

If the current results are any kind of indicator, it looks like 2008 could be the year a pro finally sneaks the World Series of Poker main event bracelet back from the long line of amateurs and no names that have conquered the majority of this decade.
As of the past week or so, we’ve seen […]

Erick Lindgren Wins His 1st WSOP Bracelet

Erick Lindgren has probably been at the top of the list of pros who hadn’t won a bracelet yet who needed to for a while now. Anytime he got into an interview about it you could tell it was driving him insane. He’d done too much in poker not to do the big one.
Now […]

WSOP Final Table

Watched the last two hours of the final table of 2007 WSOP last night. I must say, it was probably the most boring and routine televised poker event I’ve ever seen. And to know that it was all changed by what’s his name folding QQ after the flop of 3 5 8 to the most […]

Daniel Negreanu on WSOP change of events

I read an article in CardPlayer not too long ago where Daniel Negreanu had a column about how he thought the World Series of Poker should be reorganized. His argument was that people like to see big name players on TV and that big name players should have a better chance to win, so he […]

More notes on WSOP 2007, tonight’s episode

Hevad Khan seems annoying, but when he’s not freaking out, he seems like an okay player. It’s probably just an act to get more action, from people wanting to come after him for being such a goober.
I’ve had a lot of fun utilizing this kind of tactic when playing both live and online. There’s a […]

Notes while watching WSOP 2007 Main Event

Sully Erna is rather nauseating.
I can’t imaging Gus Hansen listening to his mini-tapes. Is that really efficient? He needs to write a poker book.
Scott Nguyen’s hair this year is really phenomenal. With the leather jacket and the white shirt white pants, his family should be proud. Though the ‘baby’ thing is almost as bad […]
