The key to good poker coverage: More underwear

by , Jul 25, 2006 | 6:34 pm

LAS VEGAS–Thum is griping that Pokerati’s not keeping up with the WSOP news. (I miss you, too, Tummy!) What he says couldn’t be further from fiction. You see, I’ve become rather busy here at the World Series. What started out as a simplish gig doing the PartyPoker corporate blog has transformed into spearheading a new project called PokerBlog.com. Go there for a little more thorough coverage. Or at least more regular coverage …

But with his tactful reminder, I feel like I do need to give a little something more to the readers. So here’s a recap of what’s going on right now at the Rio: lots and lots of poker. But no cash games — all tourney tables today.

Oops, my camera accidentally went off here.

Not enough? OK, I think I can find something here in the lost archives … ah, yes, here it is. There’s been much talk about Clonie’s sexy Maxim photo shoot this year. But did you know she did a lingerie photo shoot a while back with Pokerati? Sure, she may have been a little drinky at the time, and possibly unaware that the shoot was going on … but that didn’t stop the good times at last year’s La Riata in Dallas.


Oops, this time my zoom lens accidentally went off.


I don’t think I was the only one who noticed.


  • Tulsa

    I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: Dan is the most genius retard I will ever know.

  • The Big Question

    How long befoe Clonie stops talking to you?

  • Scott and Shane

    He’s not a ‘tard, he’s “special”, Tulsa.

    I didn’t quite catch the color, was it black or blue?

    Maybe I should ask David Williams.

  • Gonz

    The fact that Clonie hasn’t taken out a restraining order on Dan is beyond my comprehension.

  • Thum

    Not a gripe at all. Just surprised since pokerati are usually on top of things, like what thong Clonie is wearing. Please don’t ask me to read another poker blog though. Do miss our heads up matches.
