It Must be April 1st Somewhere in the Time-Space Continuum

Jokers Wild
Remember playing poker with wild cards? Yeah, me too. Nickle and dime poker with names like’chase the queen’ and ‘iron cross’. They were goofy make-em-up gambling games that rewarded bluffs and random runs of luck. They were mostly just a reason to hang out with friends.
Now no-limit Texas Hold Em’ rules everything. The premier poker [...]

Meet the New Boss, Same as the Old Boss
Wow! Can anyone stop StB in the WPBT-POY race?
Well, yes.
Badblood can.
StB came to the final table with a massive chip stack in Sunday’s WPBT-POY FatStacks Event at Full Tilt. It looked like StB was going take his lead far, far away but Blood had other ideas and proceeded to put on a clinic. Blood [...]

One of These Satellites Has to Have My Name On It..
I played in the first blogger WSOP satellite last night.
Sigh.
I was cursed with great starting hands that got cracked and massive draws that missed. I had pocket kings *twice* in the first orbit, and had them cracked both times. Once by C.J.’s AK (I laid them down on the flop when he raised my probe [...]

SNAP SNAP
Ever walk down Las Vegas Boulevard on a Friday night? Porn slappers are the crickets of sin city.
Sign up! The WPBT WSOP satellite *will* count for POY points, as per the usual formula. There can be only 1 winner, so (half of) the rest of us might as well move up the [...]

Who’s Your DADI?
It’s a feeling I haven’t had in a while – the satisfaction of winning a tourney. I’d registered for this 6-max NLHE event the night before because I knew it would be a crunch getting home from work by 6PM. I arrived to the tourney a few orbits late at a table featuring Drizztdj who [...]
