I know I just used this image in the previous Blog, but this is where it REALLY fits. At the left, there’s Grinder and John Racener, posing for a picture. Tom Dwan is in the center. In the foreground, Joseph Cheong is being interviewed. At the right, mostly out of frame, I’m chatting with John Dolan and Mike Wynn, Joseph Cheong’s good friend.

The Team Full Tilt media event was my first opportunity to see any of my poker friends since the World Series ended. Howard Lederer was there. I took the opportunity to chat up Ivey and Durrrr, hopefully paving the way to get some more content about them in the future. I spent a lot of time with Chris Ferguson – more on that later. And I talked for a bit with Andy Bloch.

On Thursday, September 30, Full Tilt announced a long-anticipated improvement to its rewards program named Black Card. There is plenty of information available about the new program on the web site , and a lengthy explanation of the new program and other changes in the software (with answers to over 50 questions) on the Full Tilt Forum by a member of the Poker Room.

In an Open Letter to the Commerce Casino posted today on Players Before Profits, numerous influential poker players called out the Commerce for its hypocritical testimony before the US House of Representatives in opposition to federal regulation of online poker. I signed the Open Letter and, though I am used to casinos opposing online poker, the testimony by Commerce Vice Chairman Tom Malkasian reached a new level of duplicity.

This Sunday at 18:00 ET, just as the $750,000 Guarantee is starting, Full Tilt is holding a private tournament that I encourage you to join. A few years back, a young boy named Shaun Doss was in an automobile accident that left him paralyzed from the chest down. The tournament is called “Shaun Doss Miracle” and can be found in the private tournament lobby or by pressing Control-t from the Main Lobby and entering tournament # 177449229. The password for the $5 + $5 tournament is “shaun”.

It’s difficult for me to write about the nice things that many of my friends at Full Tilt do with their time and money. Because I work for Full Tilt and this Blog appears on is site I worry that readers presume that I have to write these stories, or a purpose of the Blog is to make the site and its representatives look like upstanding citizens.

One of my challenges during a reporting assignment like the World Series of Poker – or the NBC Heads-Up Championship in March, or the World Series of Poker-Europe on which I’ll be embarking in 2 ½ weeks – is resolving the conflict between gathering information and reporting information. I accomplished the “gathering” at the World Series by watching updates online, hanging out at the Full Tilt suite, visiting with Harrah’s personnel, playing tournaments and satellites, wandering the Final Table areas, trading stories with my colleagues in the media, watching tournaments in which I wasn’t playing or had busted, striking up conversations with pros, etc. etc. etc.
