“Tools of Craig” Photo credit: Dr. Pauly I shot the above photo at the 2006 WSOP. It is a perfect representation of the items that Michael Craig brings to the table. I’ve known Craig for several years and you will almost never find him without an elegant pen and some sort of notebook. Like a [...]

This weekend was already destined to have more huge action then usual with the $25k Heads-Up PLO World Championship running in addition to the regular slate of Sunday Majors. On top of all the scheduled action, most of the poker world now knows about the spectacle going down on the HIGH limit cash tables on [...]

Big Money Sunday – October 18th

AlCantHang — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 21:08:58 +0000

It was one of the rare Big Money Sundays where the blog post almost writes itself. This week brought the monthly upgrade from the $750 Guarantee to the cool $1 Million Guarantee with a slightly smaller field and hugely larger prizepool. Big names were running deep all across the major tournaments and my little laptop [...]

AlCantHang — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 14:42:05 +0000

And that blogger would not be me. We almost had special day for the Full Tilt blogging team here in Vegas. The writing team consists of two people, myself and Michael Craig. Two basic differences between us, Michael can write and play poker. I’m a keyboard hack and boardline grinder. Michael made his third WSOP [...]

2009 World Series of Poker Day 29 – Day of the Blogger?

AlCantHang — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 14:51:59 +0000

It’s been a crazy few days with so many chances for Team Full Tilt to add to their riches. Last night was Jon “Pearljammer” Turner’s chance in the $2,500 Mixed Event but fell short in 5th place. Combined with Vitaly Lunkin finishing second in the $10,000 Pot Limit Omaha final table and several Tilters just [...]

2009 World Series of Poker – The Week in Pictures

AlCantHang — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 20:03:38 +0000

In my other life as a completely unprofessional blogger (I am semi-pro at best in this space), I always take the stand that posting nothing but pictures on your site is just the crutch of a weak blogger. Words are hard, pretty picture keep the masses coming back. However, pictures can have the great effect [...]

MiniFTOPS Event #1 – My Recap

AlCantHang — Thu, 07 May 2009 12:40:30 +0000

Alternate Title: How 6-max and flat-callers tilted me Michael Craig claims that FTOPS acts as a vampire to his bankroll, after one MiniFTOPS I’m almost willing to put that claim down. My performance certainly was not outstanding and in the end I just tilted off my chips in a way I haven’t done in quite [...]

Goatttt Challenge Terms are Set

AlCantHang — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 13:58:46 +0000

A few weeks ago, our guest blogger Julius_Goat issued a challenge to fellow Full Tilt blogger Michael Craig similar to the durrrr Challenge. Except it would be micro-limit, far fewer hands and nothing major at stake. But completely the same other than that. Well Mr. Craig responded and now Julius_Goat offers up his end of [...]

Guest Post – Drizztdj – Chatting for Profit

AlCantHang — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 01:38:21 +0000

The Battle of the Blogger Tournaments 4 started up this weekend with a great showing. Bloggers/readers and a few big name online pros made their appearance in the first few events. These are not your average smaller buyin events, the play is a little tougher than you would expect at these levels. Not unexpected with [...]
