Negreanu’s Sick Reads

Date: Wed, May 21, 2008

A montage of some sick, sick reads Negreanu makes on his opponents. My favorite is when Negreanu puts a kid on pocket aces on the flop and he freaks the guy out so much that he ends up checking the turn and river.

High Stakes Poker Canned?

Date: Mon, May 19, 2008

Hookers and Midgets

Date: Thu, May 15, 2008

Sorry, I had to pass this one along and although it has no poker info in it, it’s on Gambling911 so it is semi-gambling related.  Enter 13-year old Ralph Hardy of Newark, Texas.  Seems he used Dad’s credit card to purchase hookers - a grand total of $30,000!  He paid prostitutes to spend the evening [...]

I was riding the BTS to Siam station and when I got off the train I had a gaggle of Westerners in front of me.  There were three girls and a guy and they sounded US to me.  In fact, it’s funny because one was Asian so to hear an Asian with an American accent [...]

Eyes Wide Shut

Date: Tue, Mar 4, 2008

Some friends of mine had a party in Duquesa to celebrate dual birthdays. The theme for the evening was the film Eyes Wide Shut except without the sucky parts like Tom Cruise. I guess the only way this is poker related is that we played a tournament back in our hotel room before [...]
