Doyle Brunson Going For 11th Bracelet
I wanted to wait until the money was actually reached before
I said anything about Doyle's performance at the WSOP
Europe. However, now that they are in the money and he has
almost 250,000 in chips, it's time to give him some props. Yes, Doyle is among the greatest of all-time, but it still
is amazing to watch that man go as he gets older. I am also
glad to see that he is still in the hunt for this title.

All Hail Hellmuth!
" Iâve always liked Phil Helmuth and have defended his
tantrums because that is Phil being Phil, but these grand
entrances he makes are too much! He came to my table dressed
as Julius Caesar along with trumpets and scantily clad
girls. It embarrassed me just being there. I would have
liked to applied for the role of Brutus. I am a poker purist
and stuff like that detracts too much from what a great game
poker is.

Anyone Up For Positive Slavery?
Lady Junkie said that she is in favor of positive
discrimination when it comes to poker tournaments. Positive
discrimination? Why? Poker is not Affirmative Action. Poker
is supposed to be open to all players, regardless of race,
color, creed, etc. Why does there need to be positive
discrimination? Hasn't there been enough AA in this country?
In so many businesses, Affirmative Action has resulted in
the "token minority.

Howard Lederer Has Become Relevant Again
Up until around 2004, Howard Lederer was one of the big
forces on the poker circuit. Known as "The Professor", he
won two WPT titles as well as two WSOP bracelets. Making the
final table was as common as making a check-raise is to you
or I. Then the poker boom hit and Lederer decided to focus
more on his poker related businesses and Full Tilt Poker.
Women Will Never Be Equal in Poker
Lady Junkie said something in her blog that struck me as
odd. She said that maybe her ranting would give readers a
taste of what women had to put up with during the years of
inequality. That assumes that women are considered equals at
the poker table. I'm sorry to tell this to you ladies, but
the years of inequality are still going on.
How can you even tell it’s a man?
Allegedly a man took part in a women only poker tournament
and won. The casino couldnât prevent him and a few
other men from playing, with reference to the casino law. Fine with me. But how can you tell this is really a man? Has he gone
through some kind of chromosome tests before or during the
tournament? As far as I know this person doesnât even
have a beard.
Jeff Shulman Actually Does Something Smart - Ivey Still Unphased
The announcement was made this week that Jeff Shulman has
hired Phil Hellmuth as his poker coach for the final table
of the World Series of Poker in November. When, I first hear
this, the first thing I thought was "I thought you wanted to
throw the bracelet in the trash. " But it appears he has
changed his mind and is touting this as a big deal. It makes sense that Shulman would pick Hellmuth to coach
him.
