“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.

For 5 weeks we ran a Brit Blogger Challenge to award two players a trip to London to watch the Million Dollar Cash Game. The Challenge drew players from throughout the United Kingdom and the play was entertaining. In the end, blogger Acornman and reader BURNLEY FC BB10 (Bullmeister) outlasted the field and earned their way to mingle with the big names and watch the high stakes action.
Acornman forwarded on his trip report and it he had a great time.
For more Million Dollar Cash Game coverage from Germany and London, check out Michael Craig’s blog as he followed along with all the action.

“So you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.”
–Harvey Dent
When I think about the entry I wrote last night I think it’s important to elaborate on a few things, especially the continuing to unfold Cornell Fiji story.
I failed to mention that Steve had a considerable hand in creating the TJ Cookier comic (though it was addressed in the post.) I originally wrote the script while relaxing in Macau then sent it off to Steve to get his input, additions, and editing. This was roughly a week before the drama began to unfold. When the thread went up and began exploding with views Steve sent me (as well as his backers) a private message doing his best to explain himself and everything that happened. I agreed not to share the exact contents of that message, though a considerable bit of it was made public with his approval.

The Million Dollar Cash Game is taking place right now in London, and our brother in Full Tilt Poker blogging Michael Craig is there now live blogging the action on his Full Tilt Poker Blog. I’d suggest that all you high-stakes poker fans out there go check out Michael’s posts and get a taste of the action for yourselves. I personally enjoyed this post on Phil Ivey basically pwning Mike Matusow’s soul. Poor Mikey, you were running so good during the Series and then this had to happen. We feel for you buddy, but you can’t let Ivey into your head like that.
For those of you who live in Europe, you’ll be able to watch the Million Dollar Cash Game on Sky Sports starting next January, so keep an eye out for that. As for the rest of you, well, this is why YouTube was invented…
