NCAA: Online Poker Perfectly Legal and DandyNot the same as sports betting

Date: Mon, Nov 17, 2008

Nick Calathes lost lots of money playing online poker because he just couldn’t lay down his beloved pocket 3s. Online poker found itself in another brouhaha in the non-poker press last week — in Florida, where UF’s star point guard Nick Calathes (and prospective NBA first-round draft pick) was under investigation for NCAA violations over a [...]

RE: Clonie vs. Full Tilt Fake Lederer Responds, Real Negreanu Chimes in

Date: Mon, Nov 17, 2008

I’m still thinking settlement … but maybe not, as Howard Lederer has responded publicly (odd that any attorney would encourage this) saying, basically, bring it on, let’s open it up … we’re all-in, ho-bitch!

Scenes from (the Outskirts of) the Final Table:Dennis Phillips’ All-American victory party at McFadden’s

Date: Sun, Nov 16, 2008

Dennis Phillips was the chip leader for four months — possibly the longest time anyone in the history of poker has held onto the biggest stack.

More from the Final Table: Banner-ish Year

Date: Sun, Nov 16, 2008

Mr. Peanut demanded too much money to call the opening cards in the air, so the WSOP got Michael Buffer instead. As the 2008 WSOP was coming to a close a few days ago, Pauly and I couldn’t help but notice that there seemed to be no new sponsors that weren’t already around for in the [...]

WSOP Addenda: Tao of Hooker Bar (feat. Otis and Howard)

Date: Sun, Nov 16, 2008

Your WSOP Experience is hardly complete without a drink or seven at the notorious Rio hooker bar … and while I skipped out early on post-coronation festivities, Pauly stuck around to yuk it up with Otis and Howard (from PokerStarsBlog.com, and England). Frightening observations of obese depravity lead to existential musings on the pathetic existence [...]

Clonie vs. Full Tilt

Date: Sat, Nov 15, 2008

Chewed up, spit out? Clonie Gowen is challenging the most fearsome of Full Tilt avatars in Clark County Court. We all knew something fishy was going on with Clonie and Full Tilt, right?

If you haven’t voted a few times already, there’s a poll right over there ( –> ) asking you what’s your favorite poker blog by a bona fide poker pro. Daniel Negreanu is running away with it, as he probably should be. My personal fave: Doyle Brunson’s blog. Not only do I enjoy the Doylism [...]

Street Report: UB Refunds Showing Up

Date: Fri, Nov 14, 2008

If there seems to be a little more action than usual on Ultimate Bet these days, it’s because a lot of players have been given new cash with the promise “this time we won’t cheat you out of it.” Donkey Bomber got a rebate of about $1,400 — see, Tom, the economy is already looking [...]

An Early Idea for the 2009 WSOP

Date: Fri, Nov 14, 2008

Now that we’ve finished with the 2008 WSOP, and made our various criticisms of the November Nine, it’s time to plan for next year’s WSOP. Most people who watched the final table found it a bit lacking, especially the heads-up play between Peter Eastgate and Ivan Demidov, as 105 hands of headsup play lasted [...]

Date: Fri, Nov 14, 2008

Daniel Negreanu has a new PSA seeking support for HRs 2046 and 2610 … and also, double-dipping for some PokerVT added value, gives you some tips on effective bluffing: Good stuff via the PPA … the question, of course, will be whether or not this message can reach the ever-important non-poker masses. You’ll also notice Negreanu’s [...]
