Portugal Observations

• So I’m out of the tournament. I was card dead throughout, but still got up to 60,000 before losing them all in level 7. I thought I played pretty good and got bluffed by a Tiger Woods look a like. I posted two pics of him on twitter www.twitter.com/RealKidPoker
  He [...]

Leaving Las Vegas

• We filmed another successful season of The Million Dollar Challenge which will start airing on Sept 19th I believe and it will make for some entertaining television as we ended up with another colorful cast of characters. I can’t reveal any results, so you’ll have to tune into FOX to [...]

The Calm Before the Storm

• I’ve had a bit of time to myself since the WSOP. Outside of shooting the Million Dollar Challenge, the only work I’ve done has been playing online and that’s gone incredibly well. I’m on a bit of a heater winning 8 straight sessions for $454.836.50 over just 1870 hands. [...]

I’ve hit 10,000 hands at $100-$200 on PokerStars

• As promised, after the WSOP I said I’d be playing more NLH online and working on improving. Over a small sample size I’ve been up, down, up, down, and back to even again. Most of the people who critique my play mostly say that you need to have at least [...]

I dun’ been Readin’ + RawVegas

• I’ll try to keep this relatively short otherwise it will turn into a book. I’ve been reading an interesting book recently and I haven’t put it down. It made me reflect on family, and how much your childhood shapes you into the person you become.
  It made me think of my [...]

My WSOP Main Event Day Two

  HAND 1:
  A player limps for 400 under the gun, everyone else folds and I check my option in the big blind with AQ. The flop comes Q 9 4 rainbow. I checked and [...]

The Best Female Poker Player in the World? Reallly

• Ok, so I said I wasn’t going to talk about the ladies event anymore because I’ve said my piece on the issue and I’m confident that the majority of people get why this event should be left alone. I do want to call out Annie Duke, though, for dodging the pressing [...]

Sticking Up for the Ladies One More Time

• I spent the day vegging at home and reading random blogs, many of which discussed the ladies event stuff. Dusty Schmidt wrote one I agreed with, and Annie Duke wrote one I didn’t agree with.
  I guess what puzzles me the most about Annie Duke’s position is that she appears [...]

Men Playing in Ladies Events

• Poker has come along way from the days it was played in the back of smoke filled pool rooms where the only women you’d see were the cocktail waitress, wives, girlfriends, or even mistresses hanging out.
  More and more women have shown an interest in poker, and for many women, the most special [...]
