Poker From The Rail
a Poker Blog brought to you by Full Tilt Poker
Posted by AlCantHang | Filed under Bloggers on the Rail
It’s been a crazy week in exhile where internet access has been sketchy, travel situations bordering on unbelievable, and my final destination which might prove harmful to my mental health. But that doesn’t mean things have ground to a halt in the poker world.
Since my sudden disappearance fromn the online world we’ve seen Huck Seed win the NBC Heads-Up Poker Championship (continuing the domination of Full Tilt pros in the event), the Battle of the Bloggers 4 rolls along like a beast, Big Money Sunday continues to draw huge numbers for the guarantee events and the Full Tilt Poker Academy is really taking off.

The durrrr Challenge continues to run on Full Tilt between Tom “durrrr” Dwan and Patrik Antonius. When they kick off their 4 tables of Pot Limit Omaha, word spreads quickly and the railbirds come out to watch. They are just shy of 4,000 hands in their Heads Up battle with Dwan holding close to a $150,000 lead. But there is a long way to go and the lead swings between the two.
Full Tilt has put together a page which can help you track the progress of the challenge. The durrrr vs Antonius stats tracker is the only resource that is pulling data directly from the game in real time. There is about a minute lag between the time a hand is complete and the page is updated. The data and graphing are as accurate as you can find on the internet and certainly quicker. No other website has this capability.
You can also use this page to check if they have resumed playing more of the required 50,000 hands. The box in the top right corner will tell you if they are sitting down at the “durrrr Challenge” tables set up specifically for these two players. If they are playing, simply click the link. It will fire up your FTP software and take you directly to the tables.
Feel free to join along the rail and watch two of the top players in the world battle against each other.

We usually have a blogger-iffic rant to present to you every Friday, but I’m really not in a ranting kind of mood today. Instead, I feel like it’s been a while since we’ve really clued you all in to what’s going around here at Full Tilt Poker. Blame the WSOP, blame Tiffany Michelle’s breasts, blame us for not doing our jobs properly. Hell, blame Canada if you want. Whatever the case may be, you guys deserve better. So here’s a quick rundown of what’s going on around these parts, plus a little teaser of great things to come:

It’s been a busy week here at Full Tilt Poker, with our pros (now hovering somewhere around the 2,000 mark) winning about one out of every four World Series events. I’ve been handed the monumental task of taking over for Big Donkey this week, as he’s busy taking care of press releases for each of WSOP winners from the weekend, so let’s hope I don’t screw this one up too badly. Without further ado, let’s get this party started:

We’re only a few days into the World Series of Poker, and Full Tilt Poker is already lighting the poker world on fire. We’ve just signed uber-hunk (and The All-In-Uit fave) Patrik Antonius to Team Full Tilt, we’ve had more than a few of our pros reach final tables in the first couple of events, and we even had the first bracelet winner of 2008 in Nenad Medic. Expect all this and more to be fodder in this week’s edition of Reader Mail. Email us at pokerfromtherail@fulltiltpoker.com with any comments, questions, or non-sexually explicit fantasies about the poker playing hottie of your choice. On to the show:

When my fellow Poker From the Rail bloggers were trying to encourage me to write my first post (under the guise of lessening their workload) one of the things they said to nudge me along was that it would be nice to have “a different point of view”.
This got me thinking – just because I’m a girl, is my view of the poker world really that at odds with my fellow bloggers? Of course men and women are different – I obviously don’t use those “differences” to type but God, it would be fun to try and I’d probably get a mention on Wicked Chops…. Anyways I digress…
