Big Money Sunday and the World Series of Poker Europe

AlCantHang — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 22:59:52 +0000

I promised a fun weekend in the poker world and it delivered. Between the World Series of Poker Europe, the regular Big Money Sunday games, and some other tiny gathering of online poker players, there was plenty of opportunities to see something interesting. First up across the pond was the start of the WSOP Europe [...]

Poker News for Saturday, September 25th

AlCantHang — Sat, 25 Sep 2010 23:07:59 +0000

There is never a dull moment around the poker world and this week was no different. I suppose right now the only “dull” place in poker would be in Las Vegas since most of top players have run away to the east, top worldly destinations like London, Paris, and Atlantic City. That last one is [...]

Shark Week 2010

AlCantHang — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 21:11:35 +0000

It’s Shark Week on the Discovery Channel here in the states (I’m too lazy to see if the Discovery Channel and Shark Week are available outside the lower 48) and appropriately enough the huge cash games on Full Tilt Poker began hitting up at the same time. The “durrrr” Challenge resumed after a summer hiatus, [...]

2010 World Series of Poker: Top Main Event Bad Beats

AlCantHang — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 03:56:28 +0000

Bad beats suck. It’s just the nature of the game. Unless you have your opponent drawing completely dead, you have a chance to be on the ugly side of a slim draw. Spending the last few years around both live and online poker games, I have seen my fair share of just incredibly horrible beats. [...]
