“Guinness and Poker is the Rosetta stone of poker blogs, the gateway. Thanks to Iggy, we’ve seen the drunkest minds of our generation destroyed by bad beats, hammer plays, hysterical …
UpForPoker features some of the top writing in the business, a perspective on an oft-thriving local poker scene, and an actual box made out of pure luck. Attempts to open the box of luck have resulted in Raiders-Of-The-Lost-Ark face melting, also suckouts so brutal that they make Condoleeza Rice grab her testicles in sympathy pain.”
Two of the top poker blogs recently hit their 5 year anniversary posting about every aspect of this silly game of poker. UpForPoker as well as Guinness and Poker both started putting their thoughts out on the internet in September 2003. I would say that poker blogs have never been the same since but they were two of the originals. Fantastic writers and content that jumps from trip reports to tales of the table to all the poker news that you need. These two sites were instrumental in growing numbers of players using the blogging format to document their treks around the world from casino to casino and putting their stories out for the masses to read. What follows is my homage to the two great sites including quotes from some bloggers they’ve influenced. For better or worse.
