Comedy Gold! Lederer Discussing Business Ethics

Date: Thu, Apr 26, 2012

One thing that we’re all acutely aware of in the poker world is that we only have our good name. And you can’t borrow a bunch of money and then say, “Oops, sorry, I don’t have any money.

Is the Poker Media Allowing Another Black Friday to Happen?

Date: Thu, Apr 19, 2012

I’m not going to pretend I saw Black Friday coming but PokerStars and FullTilt were on a path where I’m not entirely surprised at the outcome.  Going back to the passage of the UIGEA I’ve been dismissive of their legal arguments about poker being a game of skill.  I even predicted that their demise in [...] Related posts:

The Nearly Infallible Under-Over Line for No-Limit Hold’em by Tommy Angelo

Date: Wed, Mar 14, 2012

The Nearly Infallible Under-Over Line for No-Limit Hold’em At sports betting, there’s this thing called an over-under line. One feature of betting the “over” at sports is that if the game goes over, it’s over. You won your bet, and the rest of the game doesn’t matter. At no-limit hold’em, I have this thing I [...] Related posts:

Reviewing Tri “Slowhabit” Nguyen’s “How I Made My First Million from Poker”

Date: Thu, Dec 1, 2011

I just got done reading a pre-release copy of Tri “Slowhabit” Nguyen’s “How I Made My First Million from Poker.”  It’s definitely not your typical poker book and if you’ve read some of Nguyen’s previous books on poker strategy this is an entirely new look at the game. In many ways it will remind you [...]

What is a Professional Poker Player?

Date: Tue, Nov 22, 2011

I’ve been doing a lot of light reading lately and nearly every poker magazine article is written by “a professional poker player.”  Likewise, watching many of the televised poker events the commentators will often identify a player as a “professional poker player.” But just what the heck is a professional poker player? Is it someone [...]

The Changing Business Model in Poker Media

Date: Wed, Nov 16, 2011

Funny enough Hard Boiled Poker covered a topic I was pondering a blog post about.  I’ve written in the past about the poker media and how the fact that they derived a large percentage of their revenue from the very poker sites that they were covering tainted their motivation to dig too deep or ask [...]
