Life in Vegas Can Be Awesome!
This week has been an amazing adventure into the saga of a normal dude like me living in Vegas. I have to warn you though, because I’m in Phoenix/Scottsdale/Ft. McDowell Indian Casino neighborhood, had a few too many tonight, and can’t really type 65 words a minute like usual. I ...

“Whew! P2N in the Books”
First episodes of “Poker2Nite” is in the books, and man, was it stressful. I pride myself on always forcing myself into new situations, and often ones where I have zero experience, but they can be seriously tough for a bit when you get there. We went in for filming early Tuesday ...

Is it Worth it to Go Nuts With Ace-King?
Tournament poker can be volatile to say the least. One second you can have a ton of chips and the next be walking your way out of the door. So often, I see people busting with Ace-King in situations where they severely have over player their hand. During my recent trip to the UltimateBet.com ...

Transitions…
There have been so many transitions the last two weeks around here. Obviously, the main transition as far as UB is concerned is the big rebranding. Ultimatebet.com is now UB.com and that is really exciting…mainly because everyone always called Ultimate Bet UB anyway and, honestly, there are ...

Who is Isildur1?
During the WSOP Main Event we learned that eventual-runner-up Darvin Moon had never played online poker. Did not, in fact, even have an email address. And many people treated this news with the same amount of incredulity as they would if Darvin said he lived, well, on the Moon. We live in a ...

NYC, Boston and Foxwoods
Well Foxwoods is over and no WPT title for me this time but it was a lot of fun. My first day I had Lee Markholt to my right along with Ted Ely, Terrance Chan who were also on my table. I lost a big pot very early on to Terrance with 88s where I bluffed one too many streets but made it back to ...

Poker is a game of skill, a game of strategy, patience and controlled aggression, a game where you must exploit your opponents weaknesses and make sure ... (more) The New UB – Raise. Stack. Own.
Always be thinking one step ahead
Recently while playing in a WPT event, the World Poker Finals at Foxwoods, I came across a very interesting scenario. The blinds were 100 200 with a 25 ante at a full table of 9 players. The starting stack was 30,000 chips and by this level (level 2) I had managed to increase my stack to around ...

The Ultimate Work In Progress
UltimateBet has been dominating the poker scene for over a decade. When we first started dealing digital cards, the internet was a vastly different place. It was all about 56K modems, Windows 98, and something called a Pentium. Since then the internet has been moving at light speed. Could ...

GG, Jeffrey Pollack
It seems with poker that every time we get good news it’s countered with some bad news as well. And that happened this week as well–just a few days we all tuned in to ESPN to watch Joe Cada win the Main Event WSOP Commissioner Jeffrey Pollack announced that he was stepping down . ...

Sharks and Fish
Hello all, I just got back from one of the most amazing trips of my life. My brother and I went diving with great white sharks and fishing for tuna about 200 miles off the coast of Mexico. We had to skip the WPT at Foxwoods, but wow was it worth it. We met our fellow travelers on Wednesday ...

Congrats Joe Cada!
This weekend the WSOP main event final table went down here in Vegas and obviously the weekend revolved around that. Saturday I wasn’t terribly interested in going early as I knew that it’d be going late, and by the end of the night I ended up not going. I was called in to do ...
