That’s right, and there is no type-o in that blog title.

I am extremely excited to announce the signing of one of professional poker’s most recognizable players, there is no one quite like him, the Unabomber - Phil Laak!

Phil’s unique style and persona is a perfect fit for a comic like Life’s A Bluff. He is going to lend some of his creativity and insight to a new LaB series called Laak and Loaded. It will be an action packed, poker filled, hilarious, strategic, look at one of the world’s finest players…….and his friends… and you can only find it HERE on Lifesabluff.com!

So the other day when I said, webcomics will never be the same… I meant it!

Again starting October 1st, we will be bringing you 3 LaB comic strips a week minimum on a Monday, Wednesday, Friday update schedule. One of those days being the L&L comic series…

Today is a big day for everyone involved and we are all proud to be a part of the NEW and IMPROVED Life’s a Bluff.

To our new readers: Please take a second to come introduce yourself in our reader forums. Hang out, get some poker advice, discuss past comics, interact with LaB members, etc. You never know…. Phil just might show up.

Yep… that’s Jose Canseco, former professional baseball player, steroid abuser, wife beater, world class punk, & now poker “pro?” sitting in on last weeks California State Poker Championship LADIES No Limit Hold’em poker tournament that was held at the Commerce Casino. You heard me… the LADIES ONLY event. It seems that Josy and 5 other morons decided to break ettiqute (at the very least) and show what kind of men they really are by enforcing the “no descrimination” policy that casinos must abide by.

Look at that dumb smirk on that idiot’s face…..

Dear Hose Hay Canseco and 5 other clowns who imposed, what the hell is wrong with you?

I would say shame on you…. but you sir have no shame.

LOVELINE!

Phil Laak & Antonio Esfandiari were on LoveLine with Dr. Drew the other night and it was a great show! Head over to the LoveLine show archives and listen to them have a ball.

Life’s A Bluff got a nice big fat plug thanks to Laak and Stryker. So for any new readers that found us through the show, Welcome!

By the way, for those of you that don’t know, Phil & Antonio both blog over at AlwaysBluff.com. Be sure and add that site to your daily morning stops…

Another site worth checking out again is Poker Listings. Read about Roy Winston winning the Borgata open the other day.

PHOTOSHOP CONTEST

Ok I got this idea from Scott over at Extra Life. He runs this contest every week or so where he will pick a random image and have his readers submit their photoshop creations. I think it is a good idea. So it is your turn….

Speaking of Scott… Check out “The Poker Geek”, it is part of his upcoming 56 geeks poster. I was going to order one anyway but now it is a MUST!

You know you want one too.

Ok, rules of the contest are real simple….

Photoshop the Phil Laak image below and the funniest or most creative submission will win a deck of Copag Cards.

Deadline is 1 week - Sunday the 30th. Email your submissions to with the subject :

“Phil Laak Photoshop contest”

Image borrowed from the MOJO Network and I Bet You.

Have Fun! I can’t wait to see what you guys come up with.

EDIT: Each person may submit up to 2 entries.

BTW.. My birthday was yesterday…. Thanks to those that remembered!

I am getting old…
