Tournament Poker

The pros are cleaning house at this year’s World Series of Poker and I think it is awesome.   It is really good to see skill triumph.  It would be really cool if one walks away world champ.  I was even thinking about putting a 20 spot on a couple people I am rooting for.

After Rob Hollink’s win in event #30, the tally according to the Nolan Dalla media email is;

Professionals – 23 wins
Amateurs — 4 wins
Semi-Pros — 2 wins

Go Pros!

Lee may not know much about poker but his skill with the ladies is unmatched.  Hopefully he can steer Charlie in the right direction.

One day left on our Nintendo Wii ebay auction.  Go bid on it!

Can you spot the tool?

That would be the online poker poster boy for integrity,  Mark Seif.

This photo was taken in the Amazon room at this year’s WSOP by Wicked Chops.   It seems as if the 60 minutes crew was there to interview various pros in regards to the Absolute Poker cheating scandal.  The shill felt like this was a perfect time to be a walking billboard for a site that admitted to robbing its customers blind.   What a tool. I guess he along with Raymer, Linda Johnson, Mike Sexton, & some others were interviewed for what is predicted to be a “hatchet job” on the industry.   I am really interested to hear what “the shill” ended up feeding them.

Absolute Poker must be paying him a lot.  I just wonder what kind of number a man puts on his integrity or at the very least his public persona.  I guess he needs to hold onto whatever he can get while he can get it.

I have said it before and it is worth saying again,  those that play on or represent Absolute Poker (or Ultimate Bet) are no different than the person who crosses a picket line.  If you don’t understand that comparison than you are definitely part of the problem.   And if you are Mark Seif, you only exacerbate the problem.   It’s clear though that he doesn’t care what the public thinks of him.  Personality, its not what he is or will ever be known for.   Outside of the Absolute Poker freeroll bobblehead winners, I doubt many of you know who he is anyway.

Money obviously talks and there are just some who will sell their soul to get it.

It’s sick.

I am glad the only participation I have with online poker these days is this website.  I will stick to the the live games.  I like to look the scumbag in the face.

You know… at first I thought that the recent PPA statement was genuine but after this one yesterday from Kahnawake I am convinced it is all just pre-60 minutes damage control.   Everyone now appears to be running around with their heads cut off distancing themselves from what most think will be a scathing report about the online game.

Where were these people months ago when I was screaming FOUL at the top of my lungs?

I guess it won’t be too long before the shills at Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet start releasing their distancing statements.  Seif?  Hellmuth?

Speaking of FOUL.   It seems Poker”News” no longer hosts ads for UB or AP and is now running headline stories on the scandals.     Where were they months ago when it was oh I dunno…. News?

All of a sudden they are crying “ethics” over this Tiffany Michelle fiasco. HILL-LAIR-REE-OUS

It’s like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife…

Speaking of hilarious..   Have you seen the attack ads McCain has launched?  One in particular was so outrageous that I was convinced that it was from a 3rd party until I heard….  “I’m John McCain, and I approved this message.”

You heard it right folks….   Obama is to blame for high gas prices.

The old man is really reaching huh?

McCain is a buffoon.

What is this world coming to!
