LaB in Print!

Wednesday, February 7th, 2007

I am a little late on reporting this but check out the current issue of American Poker Player Magazine. On page 18 you notice something familiar. That’s right, Life’s A Bluff is now in print! Another major milestone for us and I am very proud it.

SITE NEWS:

You probably noticed right away that I changed up the site a little. Refresh your browsers if you do not see a new button layout. Nobody liked the purple buttons…myself included. I hope the black buttons are easier on the eyes.

AND!! A new column writer to the site… Please welcome Robert Yocum aka Rodukan from the boards. He will join the growing LaB crew and we are glad to have his point of view.

Check out his first article, 3 Simple Questions.

While I am relatively new to poker, about 4 years now, cards and competition go way back in my family. I grew up playing euchre and gin rummy. In my family at the card table we pulled no punches and gave no quarter. You were taught the rules and you had to figure out the rest by yourself. You quickly learn to play tactically and to win.

NOTE: Robert didn’t send me a pic yet so I had to improvise. I don’t know what he looks like so I took a guess. I am probably way off. ;)
