This was the kind of tournament poker that I enjoyed playing. Managing a big stack, being active, picking up small pots, losing some small pots, getting paid in big pots. Until very late in a tournament, that is the payoff for being aggressive. It isn’t the bluffs or the steals, but the presumption that I can’t have it if I am playing so many hands. I have to keep control by picking my spots and managing the hands in which it does NOT work out, but it’s beautiful when I’m in the flow.

You know what I would really get a kick out of doing? I sometimes imagine that I have the power, charisma, trust, and ability to accomplish unusual challenges, and it would be awesome to arrange a meeting between the world’s most successful gambler and the world’s most successful businessman. I know what you’re thinking: Geez, Craig, is your ego big enough? Do you think the world revolves around you and that you also control the tides? But think about what it would be like if such a meeting did occur?

The only time I doubt my love for poker is when I doubt poker loves me.

When I trudged to my computer on October 1 just after dawn – okay, it was really 1pm – it was as much out of habit and duty as love.

The third World Series of Poker-Europe is now history. Congratulations to WSOP-Europe Champion Barry Shulman and everyone who turned in a great performance in London. I’m disappointed that I missed the action because it sounded fun and exciting. (Thanks to WSOP Media Director Nolan Dalla and Pokernews for updates.) From my remote location in Scottsdale, Arizona, my favorite story of the Series – though Barry Shulman’s victory was plenty exciting – was Howard Lederer’s close call for his third bracelet.
