  Spanish tax schemes, legalizing Australians, Grippo's SCOOP savvy, S&G mania, and top marks for PokerStars.

  A wise person once said, “money is very important in poker.” That was me. I said that. You might have thought, with your steam-powered brain, that this nugget concerned only towers of plastic chips being shuffled around in a million simultaneous cash games. Simpleton! Even away from the felt, fiscal forces buffet the poker industry, as [...]

  New poker ideas, Bulgarian tax cuts, Belgium hosts online poker, Bwin.Party see poker drop, and new poker ideas.

  Today I would like to debut a new profession: Zournalism. If you’ve ever tried journalism before, then you will recognize a few similarities. For example, all of its constituent parts, practices, and disciplines are the same. Anyone who reads or undertakes journalism should be able to transition to Zournalism without noticing any difference, other than [...]

  While we’re all on tenterhooks over the mooted Stars/Tilt deal, the poker world refused to wait quietly. The felt globe kept on spinning and all sorts of interesting goings on have been flung into the ether. From my secret moon base, I have collected the facts and figures in a giant space-net, filtering out all [...]

  Poker Parties, Holdem with Holden, Manila Millions, Euro Manifesto, and a new Full Tilt Hearing.

  20 Apr 2012

  This week I’ve been living under a fluorescent cloud of disease. My ragged immune system fights off the invading malady with slow, but inevitable success, yet despite my ailing health the poker world has rudely continued to turn. I’ve done everything I can to ensure that this news isn’t infectious, but you might want to [...]

  Jobs at Full Tilt, Isildur's Winnings, Nordica Dies, LIVE in Ireland, and Russian Politics.

  I hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend. Whether or not you believe in the divinity of Nazareth’s most famous failed carpenter, there’s nothing like a holiday. For other people, that is. While everyone else was outside enjoying the sunshine I remained chained to my laptop, rearranging this jumble of letters until they coalesced [...]

  It’s fine guys, really, it’s fine. You can all come out and admit it. In between pots, poker players can’t resist chewing on some weeds and rolling up a whiskey joint. I’m very knowledgeable on the subject and I know that substance abuse is an inevitable result of playing online poker. Don’t believe me? Check [...]

  Black Friday informer, UK Chancellor gambles, Bwin stutter, Alderney celebrate, and the iSeries lives.

  Today my mum phoned to explain how important it was that I go outside to get some sunshine. I had to tell her: So committed am I to gathering up the choicest morsels of news-meat that I will heedlessly flout my body’s basic Vitamin D requirements. Noble reader, if you find me sprawled in bed [...]

  Spain and Bulgaria get legal, Italians play, Haxton triumphs, Partouche expands, and Full Tilt negotiate.

  16 Mar 2012

  Isn’t the media weird? This week, my Prime Minister was left to wander the United States being posh. Luckily Barack caught up with him before he ensnared any commoners and the pair seem to have had a jolly old time. Most notably, watching basketball games while manoeuvring disturbingly yellow hot dogs into their faces. In [...]

• Wider World of Poker

  Worldwide money, Asian money, Full Tilt money, Isildur's money, ShuffleMaster's money, and the WSOPE

  09 Mar 2012

  Money money money. It makes the world go round. Without it there would be no trees or air, all pigs would immediately expire, and tomatoes would turn blue. I think that’s right. Anyway, if you’re a fan of money, keep your eyes glued to this webpage because there’s a lot it floating about. Worldwide Gambling [...]

  888 how rude, Chili + Bally = gaming love, WSOP-Southern hemisphere, Wisdom of Ryan, and the elderly grind

  02 Mar 2012

  After quite rightly ruffling a few feathers earlier this week, I’m retreating into my castle of news. Drawbridge raised, I shall load the catapult with facts and pelt all onlookers with interesting tit-bits from the wider world of poker. Prepare the boiling oil! Sexy 888 If there’s one thing that inspires people to get into [...]
