The World Series of Poker Begins Tomorrow!
The World Series of Poker is just ONE DAY AWAY! Players
from all over are already beginning to descend upon Vegas
and beginning their pre-WSOP preparations. Â The poker
media is in town having their pre-WSOP meetings and
Harrahâs has been in meetings for the last couple of
days in preparation. What have I been doing? Playing video poker and watching
Doctor Who mostly. Â While that may not be the most
exciting preparation for the WSOP, we have a long six weeks
ahead of us.

Tzvetkoff Taking a Beating for Poker
Australian internet tycoon Daniel Tzvetkoff has decided to
plead not guilty of having transmitted funds to illegal
online gamling. Heâs taking the position that poker is not gambling, a
truth that Iâve claimed in a previous blog
post[[sitetree_link,id=904]]. While other gambling CEOs have chosen to bargain their way
out of messy legal situations, Tzvetkoffâs decision to
call down the DOJs aggressive play will force them to show
their cards. Tzvetkoff is playing a high stakes game, to say
the least.
Godzilla Attacks the 2010 World Series of Poker
I have some bad news to report. Unfortunately, the
âPoker Junkie Monkeyâ will not be making its way
to the 2010 World Series of Poker. For some reason, I was
unable to locate the monkey before coming out here. As such,
I now have a new mascot for the 2010 WSOP.

Poker2Nite Cancelled
It appears the Poker2Nite is no more, or at least according
to the twitterâs of Joe Sebok and Scott Huff. Poker2Nite was a poker news program that started on Fox
Sports Net and then moved to Versus for season 2. The
program was cancelled due to sponsors not renewing according
to a twitter from Huff. I wish I could say that this was shocking.

Daniel Negreanu and Poker's Best Interest
Daniel Negreanu in his recent blog talked a bit about things
that are in the âbest interest of poker. â He goes
over several things that he said are in the best interest of
poker. The first was the continued elimination of WSOP rebuy
events. He says that the events skew history and give guys
like him the advantage of being able to get deep in the
events.

The Origins of Poker: Myths and Facts (Part II)
You have probably been waiting for the follow-up on my
revolutionary study aimed at shedding light on the mysteries
surrounding pokerâs early days. Today I proudly present
to you the second part in this very long, multi-part essay. Part I of The Origins of Poker[[sitetree_link,id=1645]] left
off after the sacking of Babylon. A tribe of traveling
hippies on a pilgrimage to central Asia in honor of Ma Gu,
the goddess of Hemp, saved the knowledge of Poker from being
lost forever.
