Hot Redhead of the Month - Miss January
Anyone that knows me or that has followed my blog for the
past two years knows my love of redheads. Â Well, it looks
like PokerJunkie likes my taste in women as they have asked
me to start bringing you a monthly redhead for your viewing
and "poker" pleasure. This month's redhead I ran across while doing a piece
involving Jennifer Tilly. Â As you can see, she has a
spinner's body with a set of hips that don't make you feel
you are going to break her.

Friedman a UB Pro? Maybe He Should Reconsider
Unless you have been living under a rock, or trapped in an
airport over the holidays, you know that Annie Duke and Phil
Hellmuth have both left UB. Â When Hellmuth's departure
was announced on December 30th, UB also hinted that new pros
would be added to the roster. Â Later that night, Allen
Kessler pointed out on twitter that Annie Duke's bio page
now had Prahlad's Friedman's name on it. Â Here is a shot
of the page:
With that, everyone has assumed that Friedman has indeed
signed a deal with UB.

Annie Duke Leaves UB
I was awakened earlier today by a text message from
@merchdawg stating the following:
"Annie leaving UB. "
I then logged onto twitter and saw the tweet from Annie
herself saying that she was leaving UB and that she had
posted a new blog. Â I logged on and the first line said
it all:
"Itâs bittersweet, but Iâve decided to leave UB. "
Annie Duke leaves UB to "explore and pursue other business
opportunities on a full-time basis.

The 2011 WSOP Main Event Will Be Won by a PokerStars Player
I have noticed an interesting, but odd trend at the WSOP
Main Event Final Table. Â Since 2003, 6 of the 8 Main
Event Champions were PokerStars players / patched by
PokerStars. Â While it is true that PokerStars sends more
Main Event players than any other site, you would think that
there would have been more than 1 Main Event Champ from Full
Tilt in the last 8 years. The only two Main Event winners since 2003 that were not
with PokerStars were Jerry Yang and Jamie Gold.

Top 10 Moments in Poker for 2010 - Part 2
In yesterday's blog, I started counting down my list of the
Top 10 Poker Moments of 2010 by giving you #10 through
#6. Â Today, I will give you the my top five moments. *#5 - Phil Ivey Wins 8th Bracelet*
*
**

Many of you would figure that Ivey's 8th bracelet win would
be the #1 moment in poker for me this year, but I expect him
to win every year, so this was not a surprise. Â However,
the way he came back against Bill Chen was definitely news
worthy.

Top 10 Moments in Poker for 2010 - Part 1
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. Â 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. Â As such, she really has to try
and take advantage of the live events she plays in.
