5 is Not the Magic Number
Fifth in the Hoy on Monday and then fifth in the Bodog blogger tourney on Tuesday. I was the bubble bubbler in both (that is to say, I was one way from being the bubble). At least in the Bodog blogger tourney I picked up a T10 credit making it a freeroll for my effort. [...]

Do You Have Gamble?
This is a sponsored post.
Doyle Brunson could well be considered the godfather of poker. He’s got 10 World Series bracelets and he literally wrote the book on poker. His poker feats are legendary – he won back to back world series titles with what many would be considered to be an unplayable hand: [...]

House-Bound
It has been a while for my faithful readers. I hear your lamentations and I am not indifferent to them.
Not much poker for me lately – but then again not much of anything else.
