2 New Books
A couple of new books came in from Amazon today…
- High-Low-Split Poker, Seven-Card Stud and Omaha Eight-or-better for Advan (Advance Player)
- Harrington on Hold\’em Expert Strategy for No Limit Tournaments: Endgame, 2
I’ve been enjoying tournaments lately so HOH2 was a no brainer buy, especially after I liked Volume I so much. Hold’em gets boring at times so I figured I’d try to learn a little O8 on the side. Al, the expert O8 blogger told me HLSP was the bible, so that’s what I bought.
Thanks for the Links
I want to say a great big THANKS! to everyone who has linked to Poker Chip Tricks at one time or another. Google finally took notice in their recent updates and PCT is now the first result when you search for “poker chip tricks”.
Stay tuned for a new site that should be ready over the weekend.
Triple Take
Seven and a half months after hitting three royal flushes in 2 days and I finally received the hats from Party Poker. So much for 6-8 weeks!
A-Rod Playing Poker in Illegal Card Rooms?
ESPN reports that the Yankees have warned Alex Rodriguez about playing poker in illegal clubs. Some of these pro sports teams need to mind their own business.
Poker Podcasts
On my rides to and from work each day I’ve been listening to poker podcasts. Listening to poker discussions keep my mind off the traffic. In the mornings the poker talk gets my mind thinking and after work it helps to relax me after a long day.
My favorite poker podcast without a doubt is Card Club on Lord Admiral Radio. Cincinnati Sean, Brent Stacks, and everyone else who contribute to the show to an excellent job. Congrats on your 1 year anniversary guys!
Another poker podcast I started listening to is Rounders. It’s actually a poker radio show that they turn into a podcast. The radio station is Team 1040 AM out of Vancouver, Canada. My favorite part of the show has been the interviews with some of the top names from the poker world.
What do you know…my two favorite poker podcasts are both from Canada…eh! As a lifetime Michiganer I’m glad to finally find something good to come from our friends across the lake.
Another popular poker podcast is Poker Diagram by Henry and Zog. It comes all the way from London. Each week they play some kind of online poker and discuss their play and other things poker. I listened to a couple of episodes and it was put together well.
I’m sure there are many other podcasts out there related to poker. Do you have some I didn’t mention? Leave a comment because I’d love to check them out.
Taking a Break
Lately I have been taking a break from all types of poker, online, casino, everything. The only poker in my life as of now is the WSOP on ESPN. Even though I already know what happens and who makes it how far, I still need to watch and enjoy the plays being made. I’m sure poker will be coming back into my life very soon, but for now, there isn’t much going on.
