Date: Wed, Sep 10, 2008 Internet

While Jen was slaving away covering the WCOOP on the PokerStarsBlog this weekend, I was extremely busy playing in a $1,000 freeroll on PokerStars (12 players max).

The Life & Death of Brandi Hawbaker: Personal Thoughts

Date: Fri, Apr 25, 2008 Internet

I feel a sincere need to speak on this. For the first time, I listened to the NWP Radio show last night because it was a tribute to Brandi Hawbaker. Her suicide has deeply affected me, and I hoped to hear some interesting perspective on her life and death. Almost two hours into the show, I [...]
