Marathon Online Poker Session at PokerStars

I haven't done anything like in ages. I'm sitting on my couch playing $200-$400 HORSE on PokerStars and have spent the entire day doing that. I got up at close to 1:00pm and logged on immediately and sat down. It's 11:15pm right now and I have not sat out for even one hand! I got a...

BZZZZZZ (Taser bet); $450,000 in one day, Phillies, Leinart, London

Posted: December 03, 2008 04:53 PM OK, I woke up Friday at 10:00 am (ouch!), and hopped in my white stretch limo at 10:30 am. Then my limo driver Singh drove up the runway right to my private jet ride at the San Jose airport. Tom Smith is one of the two brother Founders of "Taser"-along...

Picking a Good Game

So I received some interesting feedback about my "Rotten Apple" blog. I am somewhat surprised by the passion on both sides. I was just sitting in an airport lounge trying to get some things sorted out on my MacBook and I was underwhelmed, so out it came. Perhaps I was hoping someone...

Payback's a Bitch

A few weeks ago I got a phone call at five in the morning from Stormin' Norman. For years, Norman drove a bus by day and played poker all night, which is why I always take taxis. They might all be at it. I figured it couldn't be good news so I went on the attack with a "Do you know...

APPT Sydney TR Part 2, Insomnia

I wake up at 9:45am to get ready for the seminar which starts at 10:30. I wasn't able to fall asleep until 4am like normal, so the wake up process is pretty painful. I throw on my casual suit and walk over to the casino after stopping off for a 'Redbull' at the corner convenience...

Alabama 36, Auburn 0

The weekend was a lottttttttttt of fun. Alabama played mostly perfect and made easy work of rival Auburn University. We opened up the first half 10-0 but posted 26 in second half. I saw a lot of old faces, so that was pretty cool. I drank entirely too much, as is the case every football game...

Poker Tournament Trends (11/24 - 11/30)

A Little Fall of Rain...

"So what did you do last night?" She asked as more of an automatic or generic response rather than a measure of curiosity. "You really want to know?" "Of course. I haven't talked to you for three months. Fill me in on what's been going on." "If you...

BEHIND THE SCENES ON THE TOURNAMENT TRAIL

Main Event Pros and Cons

Whatever the World Series of Poker decides to do next year, or all the years after that, 2008 will stand out uniquely in poker history as the first November Nine experiment. It is a benchmark that the game of poker is growing and evolving with the modern world. A good example to relate it to is...

DOYLISM OF THE DAY: "Poker is not a game where the meek shall inherit the earth."

DOYLISM OF THE DAY: "Poker is not a game where the meek shall inherit the earth." Congratulations to my pal Daniel Negreanu for winning the B.C. Poker Championship. Maybe he can't play golf so well but he is really performing well in the poker tournaments. I used to laugh at...

Tribute to the Greatest Production of the Visual Media

I haven't made a post in a while, I know, I apologize. I'll make a post detailing my euro trip and the hands I played in the tournaments there, but for now I want to take a break from writing about poker, and talk about the greatest television show in the history of the universe. The...

Implementing the UIGEA

note: cross posted from Andrew's blog at http://www.thinkingpoker.net/Blog/ It's been nearly two years since the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act snuck its way through Congress as a rider on a port security bill. The UIGEA criminalized not the gambling itself but the...
