I just finished watching Allen Kessler's interview with QuadJacks at the 2012 World Series of Poker about poker players who smoke weed during the breaks of poker tournaments. The video is at the bottom of this post for those that haven't seen it yet. I must admit that I totally side with Allen on this matter and it does indeed boggle my mind that many young poker players go out of their way to smoke weed on breaks. I know some of you think that it helps you play better, but as Allen says, it does not.

Since we are entering the final week of 2010, it is time for me to be a lemming and do my year in review posts like every other poker blogger and writer in the poker media.  However, you all know I love to put my own opinion on this, so over the next couple of days, I will give you MY Top 10 Poker Moments of 2010. *#10 - Annie Duke Wins NBC National Heads-Up Championship* * * **** * * Annie Duke does not play the same schedule as many other pros due to her family.   As such, she really has to try and take advantage of the live events she plays in.

Day 30 of the 2010 World Series of Poker is nearly in the books. Another $1,000 NL Holdem Event kicked off today as well as the $2,500 Mixed Game. The $5,000 Omaha Hi-Lo is playing to the money, but not likely the final table. The same applies to the $1,500 NL in Day 2 play.

Today is a slow one at the World Series of Poker.   Theres not too many people around and history could be made!  Phil Hellmuth is sitting at the final table of the $1,500 Omaha Hi-Lo hoping to win his 12th bracelet.   Someone who is hoping to win thier 1st bracelet and has had a great 2010 WSOP is Allen Kessler.  He has 5 cashes in 5 different events and is sitting with chips in the 10k H.

Day 22 of the 2010 World Series of Poker is underway and both the Pavilion and the Amazon Room are hopping today. The Seniors Event kicked off at noon and has pretty much overpowered both rooms. In addition, we had Day 2 of both the $5,000 NL Six-Handed and ½ PL Holdem ½ PL Omaha Event grinding away. The final two tables are working towards a bracelet and the $1,500 H.

It is yet another late night here at the Rio. The Six-handed NL Holdem event is plugging right along and Day 2 of the $1,000 NL is down to about 13 tables at the time of this writing. Andy Black, Will Failla, and Victor Ramdin are all deep in that one. The NL 2-7 Event just finished with Yan Chen taking the bracelet.
