If you take a close look at the pokerblogging community you’ll find an astonishing array of talents. Coming up with April Fool’s Jokes, alas, is apparently not one of them. It isn’t even April Fool’s Day yet and we’ve had a handful of aborted attempts. Then again, maybe I should keep my mouth shut until…

I go a week without posting and life seemingly goes on without missing a step. I’m actually a bit insulted. I keep hitting refresh on CNN–nothing. Not a peep. Been writing a ton, perhaps too much, I’m sort of all over the place right now. In the next few days I’ll be sharing a monster…

If you read any of the blogs to your left you know that several lucky, lucky, lucky bastards are going to be doing something poker-related at the Playboy Mansion. I don’t even recall if there’s a tournament or whatever, my mind blocked out everything but the “Playboy Mansion” part of it. BG, JoeSpeaker, Pauly, CJ,…

The featured “Blog of Note” at Blogger right now is the PokerStarsBlog blog. Did I use the word “blog” enough in that sentence? Screw you. Otis, that bastard, is in Monte Carlo doing his thing during the EPT Championships. Isabelle Mercier made it to the second day, only to have aces cracked TWICE and finally…

Wow. This post is going to sound silly to those of you who play for big stakes, but I just won the single biggest pot of my life. I’ve been trying to bust out my meager bankroll on Stars so I can take a hiatus from poker and do stuff that I need to do….

Very good opening episode of the WPT. Chris Bell, keep that man away from the sharp objects. Ted Forrest? Spooky. I don’t even like having the guy looking at me through the TV set, it’s like he’s reading my thoughts through the screen. Gavin Smith? Big shirt. Very big shirt. Courtney Friel? Uh, she didn’t…
