swedish slot online humor from flickr
I *think* this is Swedish for "who wants a beating" or "who wants a beating from me". I'm sure all the Swedish slot online players who read this will find it hilarious anyway.
biggest gambling bust in austin history
This week, police made raids in what is the biggest gambling bust in Austin history.
More than 700 gambling machines known as 8-liners, a type of slot machine, were confiscated into moving trucks; 76 from one location alone.
wsop notes
The main event is well underway; blog highlights:
Pauly continues with his excellent real-time coverage
Flip Chip continues to post some excellent photos and coverage of the event. Man, Dutch Boyd and Penn Jillette are looking rough. Evelyn Ng is definitely not though.
Wil Wheaton is busted out
Head on over to Poker Nation for not only a pretty solid blog, but also some good pictures of Pauly's much-lauded bad beat that he handed to Shannon Elizabeth.
not WSOP related, but the over-under is set at 50 for the number of hot dogs Kobayashi will eat at next year's hot dog eating contest. I'm calling it: bet the under like there's no tomorrow.
A few other random notes -- as promised, my sidebar now is linked to my bloglines account, which means the links you see there are the actual blogs I read.
I've been enjoying the Flickr Poker feed, slot online which shows the latest poker photos that have been added. Apparently there are no Flickr users at the WSOP, because there have been almost no good WSOP photos lately. But I did find this one:
I came across a nifty little site called 43things and was surprised to see that only 12 people want to win the WSOP, making it a less popular goal than winning any poker tournament (18) or playing strip poker (14), and a drop in the pond compared to losing weight (1,845). Go figure.
As for me, winning the main event would be great but I've got my sights on a bracelet from a two-day event first.
blog recommendations
My reading of RSS feeds in general, and poker blogs in particular, had really tapered off over the past few months, mainly due to having a lot of other things going on and not a lot of spare reading time.
I've recently gotten my blog reading list back in order, thanks largely to biting the bullet and switching from a desktop RSS reader to the excellent Bloglines service. Bloglines is a web newsreader, which also happens to have a lot of nice features like a mobile lightweight interface, and some little widgets for blogs as well. The mobile interface is huge for me as I travel a fair bit and use my Sidekick for casual reading. Being able to have my blog subscriptions up-to-date no matter where I'm reading from is a nice plus.
As a side effect of getting this stuff back in order, I was pleasantly surprised to find some interesting new blogs on the block.
My local recommendation is fellow Austinite Mike K, who I've known for a few years from various local games. Mike has written some great insights into his poker experiences, and has a great sense of humor and some interesting stories.
Eric, another local, has recently decided to move to Vegas and go back to playing poker for a living. Good luck, Eric, and I look forward to reading about your experiences. I gotta say I don't envy you, playing pro poker is definitely not for everyone.
I still haven't made up my mind whether or not I like Oddjack. It's a little high-volume and off-topic for me, but I find it a lot more readable than the other Gawker blogs.
Dan continues his good WSOP-and-beyond coverage with a great little exchange overheard at the series.
I forgot to add mine, from when I played. At the table next to me was Men "The Master" Nguyen and Antonio "The Magician" Esfandiari. They had just gotten seated.
Antonio: Men "The Master" Nguyen. Men "The Master".
Men (happily): Hi, how are you doing.
Antonio: How does a guy get to be named "The Master" anyway? Did your parents name you Men "The Master"?
It sure cracked me up at the time.
By the way, with 10 million blogs now in the world, and seemingly half of them about poker, I get a lot of requests every week to do a link exchange or writeup of someone's new blog. I'm going to change my sidebar soon so it links directly to my subscription list on Bloglines, which means that the only way to get linked from this site is to get me to read your blog. My advice to you is to write to me after you've been at it for at least a month, and write about something beyond whether you won or lost today.
