The first ever WSOP themed event just concluded at the

event in Africa. It was going to be the WSOP Africa.

Poker Needs More Hot Redheads
I was up late, as usual, and I got to thinking about how
that poker could be made better. Knowing me, it only took 45

First WSOP Circuit Regional Championship Kicks Off Monday
Monday will kick off the first ever Regional Championship in
WSOP Circuit history. For those of you that don't know, the
WSOP Circuit has revamped itself this year and players at
each stop have a chance to win their way into a
season-ending National Championship event that even awards a
WSOP bracelet. Now, I applaud the WSOP for revamping their circuit events. The buzz around them has been great and the $10,000 Event
Monday should draw a strong crowd.

Too Many "Big Pot" Recaps
Is it me, or does there seem to be a lot more articles
talking about this player or that player taking down a big
pot or they won a couple hundred thousand, etc. Â Â Now,
I understand some of the articles that are involving big
time players like Daniel Negreanu winning a decent amount on
a Televised poker show. Â That is more or less a show
review with an angle. Â However, what is up with telling
us about xyz player winning a 100k pot on PokerStars or Full
Tilt.

Don't Be a Lemming in the Upcoming Election
The Poker Player's Alliance put out a list of 58 candidates
that they support in the upcoming election in November. I
was looking at the list and the candidate they support in my
area is by far one that is not well supported, especially
after his voting record the last two years over major
issues. I don't normally get into politics that much or speak my
mind on it because it is usually a battle of people who
think they cannot be wrong. But in this case, the PPA is
trying to get you to go out and vote on the basis of one
issue.
