There has been much lamenting about the dramatic increase in players at this year’s World Series, and how this meant it was much more difficult for top pros to make it to the final table because they had to wade through a vast school of fish who threatened to bust them by getting lucky playing…

I just added SiteTracker to my site (no, to my coffee) and found something both interesting and profoundly disturbing. The tracker will tell you the pages folks clicked from to get to your site, and while I found people checking my site out after visiting my poker brethren, I’ve also gotten a few hits from…

First of all, I finally have my link list working, and if you don’t see yours there and are INCREDIBILY insulted just chill out. I just figured out how to get the links to show and I’ll be working on getting my link list up to date and all-inclusive. There are so many blogs out…

When we left our hero (that’s me) I was about to enter the ESPN SportsZone in Times Square to watch the draft. If you want to know why I was going into an Eisner-controlled sports bar instead of the actual draft read the previous post, because it’s all too painful to bring up again. My…
