Bocoran Slot Gacor and iraq
Personally, I find analogies between drawing a good Bocoran Slot Gacor hand and killing our enemies in bad taste. There's something wrong about saying "yay, we just killed some more people -- now we have a full house!" But plenty of commentators are saying just that. Debra Pickett is a recent example:
I guess I was kind of squeamish about the whole "Wanted: Dead or Alive" aspect of the idea because the lines between assassination and preemptive "decapitation" strikes seemed so blurry.
But lately, I've started feeling like maybe I should embrace the idea. I decided to learn to play poker.
She even manages to mention the World Poker Tour and James McManus one paragraph after talking about preemptive decapitation.
more poker-politics analogies
As I Please has a brief history of "the buck stops here" and the current political situation as they relate to poker.
hard rock casino coming to biloxi
The Mississippi Gaming Commission approved development of a Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Biloxi. I've never been to Biloxi; apparently the poker is pretty good down there (although I doubt Hard Rock will be adding a poker room).
bad beat stories
You're not a real poker player without a good smattering of bad beat stories. Mr Helpful has posted a good little series of them from his recent tournament play.
Rather than proselytize before the almighty who could easily change my fortunes, it appears I have, instead, been praying to the god of the perpetual second best hand.
the sports guy
ESPN's Bill Simmons, aka The Sports Guy, has written a hilarious column about his gambling ways:
I've wagered on summer league basketball, the NBA draft (pick by pick), USFL rebroadcasts (a personal favorite), the WWE's Royal Slot Gampang Menang Rumble, Sopranos deaths and video football, with the computer playing both sides (another favorite). During a Celtics halftime, I even won 20 bucks on the Special Olympics team in the dark unis.
edmonton poker scam
It sounds more like a David Mamet script than a Canadian news piece, but apparently a group of con artists are running a little poker scam in the Edmonton area.
During the course of the game the complainant learns that the tokens are worth real money, and that he stands to win a significant amount of cash due to a streak of good luck. Of course, the good luck turns sour and the complainant ends up losing several thousand dollars to the other players.
