Boycott Daniel Negreanu?

Date: Tue, Aug 31, 2010

Earlier this month Gambling 911 ran a story titled, “Negreanu Poker Website Needs to be Boycotted.” The reason for the author, Jagajeet Chiba, to call for a boycott was because Daniel Negreanu called Annie Duke a “f*cking c*nt.” The quote was from an interview he gave and he complained about the fact that Annie Duke [...]

Screen Names for Donation to the Wanphen Family

Date: Sun, Aug 22, 2010

Someone rightly pointed out that it would be easier if I just posted my Stars and Tilt screen names. Considering that my Stars screen name is billrini and I’m not fooling anyone I figured what the heck. So if you would like to make a contribution to Wanphen’s family on either Stars or Tilt the [...]

Fund Raiser for the Family of Wanphen Pienjai

Date: Wed, Aug 18, 2010

I recently wrote about Ron Fanelli, The MadYank, and how he has admitted to stabbing and murdering a local Thai woman, Wanphen Pienjai, here in Thailand [view his confession]. The thing that really disturbed me about this whole incident was how Wanphen’s family was being impacted. In Thailand there is no real social safety-net. There [...]

One of the reporters from the Phuket Gazette sent me video of the press conference where Ron Fanelli, the MadYank, confesses to the media that he killed Wanphen Pienjai.

Why Won’t They Just Let 3D Poker Die An Honorable Death?

Date: Tue, Aug 17, 2010

In what I can only imagine is was an attempt to put me on tilt, 888 has proudly announced the release of a 3D client. Sorry, this is one of my pet peeve topics so I’m going to rant a bit here. 3D poker has never taken off. Never. Ladbrokes launched their 3d client sometime [...]

Make Matusow Wins Florida State Poker Championship

Date: Sat, Aug 14, 2010

Looks like Mike “The Mouth” Matusow has earned a little money to help pay off his $2 million weight loss prop bet with Ted Forrest. Now he’s just $1,900,000 short. Not according to Mike though: So, I guess Mike is saying that he’s already paid off Forrest. True? Hard to say based on a single [...]

Mainstream Media Backing Legal Online Gambling?

Date: Fri, Aug 13, 2010

I’ve seen a few sights link to the LA Times op ed piece about why online poker should be legalized and regulated but I also ran across a similar point of view from Forbes. Increasingly it seems that the mainstream media is taking the industry’s side in this debate. In many cases, such as in [...]

Matusow Can’t Pay Prop Bet?

Date: Thu, Aug 12, 2010

One of the things that I’ve really begun to dislike about the WSOP is the constant barrage of silly prop bets. To me it seems as if people are saying, “Hey, I haven’t done anything noteworthy at the tables and I know the poker media are starving for a story so let me make a [...]
