Matt Matros is one of the poker writers I enjoy reading the most. His recent analysis of why you should push in with a pair of Queens early on in the tournament against someone holding Ace-King is smart. Here’s the gist:You wade through all the railbirds and all the media and finally locate your seat.…
I’m on the ‘damn early train’ from Washington to New York today. Although there is a train called the ‘Empire Builder’, that’s not the one I’m on. A shame really, as we’re in a period of tremendous growth at Mindshare. We’re all busting tail and growing the firm as fast as possible. Hence the fact…
Another card club was raided, this time in Philly: Operating in a dusty warehouse in Port Richmond, the Philadelphia Players Club officially went out of business Thursday night, when police raided the casino, arrested five employees and hauled off a truckload of poker tables and other gaming gear. Authorities anticipate arresting at least four more…
Tropicana $7.50/$15 "pink chip" gameOur game of choice on this trip was the pink chip game at the Trop. The Tropicana poker room has printed up special pink chips that are worth $2.50 each. The game is limit hold’em, stakes are $7.50/$15. Because $7.50 is a mere three pink chips, people tend to bet without…
Most of what I did on day two was hit some tournaments. Here’s the writeup. Caeser’s Poker Palace $80+$15 No limit hold’emI played the 3pm poker tournament on Friday. I played it well until right after the first break I pushed a kid around who had limped into the pot under the gun. I was…

6 Weeks Ago T-42 days It’s my dream. Sarah needed to go see her elder grandmother and she gave me a pass to go play poker in Atlantic City for 3 days. I’ve logged enough time in the Tropicana poker room under my Poker Card that I now can call and get a room…
I was playing poker the other night at a short handed table for about 4 hours and had a great time. Someone I hadn’t played with for literally years invited me over and it was just him and one other guy, both of them decent players. My edge in such a game was very slight,…
I was hunting for "lesbian gang signs" on Google the other morning. I was bored, and had a few hours to kill before my plane and didn’t want to wake up any of the actual lesbians I knew to ask. When I couldn’t find any, I just searched on "gang signs" and found this collection…
The robberies on these games started a few months ago, right after it started to become normal to have Fairfax County bust the games themselves. I find it ironic that the District of Columbia regards private poker games as legal. I’ve got to look into that. 🙂 In the meantime, you’ll see me in Atlantic…
