all's fair in
pursuing the biggest round of applause in the history of applause since 1976
gambling poker, tv, and travel

World Poker Tour is going to be on TV starting in March! I'm really excited that poker is starting to get regular TV coverage. ESPN has been showing weekly poker. I don't especially like 1 and 2 hour timeslots for poker -- it's hard to really get into the action -- but I recognize they're a hard necessity for poker to make it to any sort of "real" TV channel.

Last year, pokerpages.com did truly excellent full-length internet broadcasts of all the World Series of Poker tournaments. Hopefully they'll keep that up this year. And hopefully you'll be able to see me on one of them this year... I'm emboldened after one of my regular local game players, Doug Kim, made it to a final table last year.

In other news, two of the famous tiltboys (check out that link for some of the funniest gambling stories on the net) are embarking on what may be the coolest roadtrip of all time. I am definitely going to be issuing a challenge to these guys. Maybe a $1,000 RPS challenge or something along those lines. Also, they're coming to Barton Springs golf course... I'm going to try to convince my buddy/golfing badass Hong to challenge them to a match. Link

This year millions of viewers tuned in to watch the World Poker Tour on the Travel channel and the broadcast of the 2003 World Series of Poker on ESPN. Those of you who enjoyed seeing the pros play on the World Poker Tour show may be interested to see how some of Hollywood’s Celebrities play the game.
“Celebrity Poker Showdown” is produced by Picture This Television in association with Bravo. It should prove to be a very entertaining series for poker players and the general viewing audience alike. Don’t forget to mark your calendar for the premiere episode December 2nd at 9pm EST. On a personal note; I was proud to have my book, Get the Edge at Low Limit Texas Hold’em included in the packet that was sent the celebrities before the tournament to help them learn the game.

That makes two of us. Prior to the showing proper, I was excited too. But it is WSOP that I really prioritize. Not earthquake, not typhoon, not Hurricane Katrina Part Two could unglue me from my TV set when the coverage is on.

Oh, by the way, yes, I'll be checking out your tiltboys site very soon. Looks amusing.

Wow, it's hard to remember this more innocent time when poker was barely in the nation's pop culture.

There was a time when World Series of Poker wasn't on ESPN, Travel Channel, Bravo, etc 24/7.

Not that I'm complaniing, however. The more new players means more fishes for the old timers!

Not only do men report amazing increases in penis health and stamina, but also they are equally delighted by the sheer intensity and concentrated power of their orgasms.

This will increase with regular exercise and the recommended dosage of the penis enlargement pills.

Many men everywhere suffer from feelings of inadequacy resulting from their penis. A small or average penis can affect a man in numerous ways.
