Ah, Reader Mail – it’s where common sense comes to die. Today is a very special “theme” edition of the mailbag, with all of the questions relating to specific poker hands. I know, talking about poker on a poker blog – unheard of! But I shall try my best to guide all of my minions through this dangerous minefield of a game that we call No-Limit Hold ‘em. Email us at pokerfromtherail@fulltiltpoker.com with any comments, questions, or stories ending with the sentence: “and then I threw my laptop out the window.” Let’s get it on:

Welcome back to another round of the crazy circus we like to call Reader Mail. Thanks again to The All-In-Uit for taking over last week – she did one hell of a job filling in for me (not to mention putting me in my place − that was the pwning of a lifetime). Anyway, I can guarantee you that this week’s Reader Mail will not feature any questions from Russians trying to sell me Viagra (insert four-hour erection joke here) – everything else is fair game. Email us at pokerfromtherail@fulltiltpoker.com with any questions, comments, or cool anecdotes about that time you saw Phil Hellmuth make a complete ass-hat of himself. And yes, all that was just an excuse for me to say ass-hat – on to the show:

Welcome to yet another week of what we here like to call Reader Mail. I apologize for One Angry Monkey’s absence, the last time I saw him he picked up a trash can, threw it through the office window and ran away screaming – it’s a damn shame our office is on the third floor. The only clue to his actions was the glimpse of an open email from someone called “The Chi” on his monitor before it strangely melted into oblivion. If you would like to extend get-well wishes, or ask some real questions now that you have the opportunity, send an email to pokerfromtherail@fulltiltpoker.com.

Email us at pokerfromtherail@fulltiltpoker.com with any comments, questions, or recipes for a nice Haggis – because sometimes you just have to eat a sheep’s stomach. On to the show…

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a Panamanian bloodsucking grill-toothed wombat? No, wait. It’s just some good old-fashioned Reader Mail. We apologize to anyone who was looking forward to petting the wombat, but what the hell were you expecting? Go visit a fucking zoo. At any rate, on to the madness – email us at pokerfromtherail@fulltiltpoker.com with any questions, comments, or funny animal names that you’ve made up yourself.

Alright folks, no big intro this week – we’ll save the fancy word play for another time. In the words of Al Green, “Let’s get it on.” No, it’s not an invitation for unbridled sexual ecstasy; it’s just a little bit of Reader Mail. Contact us at pokerfromtherail@fulltiltpoker.com with any questions, comments, or recipes for making whoopee (or, as the kids call it, “bumping uglies”). Let the sexual healing begin:

So we meet again, my friends. Hence forth, we shall sail down the river that is Reader Mail. Hopefully we won’t drown this time, but everyone should wear their life vests nonetheless. Email us at pokerfromtherail@fulltiltpoker.com if you’d like to comment, ask a question, or threaten us with bodily harm. Without further ado, it’s time to float the boat:

Welcome back to another round of Reader Mail, where we answer your complaints about things that we have absolutely no control over. But we try anyway, because why the hell not? We’ve got nothing better to do, and we always love to feel important (rather than our usual state of impotence). You can contact us with your questions, complaints, insane ramblings, and medical inquiries (because I also happen to moonlight as a doctor) at pokerfromtherail@fulltiltpoker.com and we’ll be sure to get back to you at some point – please leave a message after the beep. On to the show:
