Yeesh, you go AWOL for just a blip, and suddenly everyone thinks you\’ve pulled a Mike Matusow. En route to the Bahamas, the Tao of Pokerati\’s favorite Frenchman, Benjo, stopped off in Pauly\’s New York hood for some All-American New Years Eve shenanigans (Benjo\’s version here and, even funnier, here), and in the process they turned to stimulating discussion of playing poker in prison (tight is right!), the best French players in 2008 (David Benyamine and Bertrand \”Elky\” Grospellier), what Frenchie players are and are not broke, Benjo\’s love for keno and Marrakech hookers, the \”Budapest Incident\” turned Lesbian Vomit Show … all capped off with a how-to on ordering from the international buffet of Gotham prostitutes. Tao of Pokerati at its finest — always the case when Benjo\’s in town!

UPDATE: Benjo nails another French claim to greatness, as ElkY took down PokerStars $25k \”High Roller\” event in the Bahamas yesterday. Clearly the only \”best\” French poker analyst in the biz.
