Tao of Pokerati: Coup d’ Benjo

by , May 31, 2009 | 2:58 am

Benjo is back, just in time for the first ever “brasslet” ceremony, which raises a burning new question of poker etiquette that players never before had to consider: To stand or not to stand for the national anthem when you’re in the middle of a hand? Pauly and the Angry Frenchman also speculate on which will be the first non-American nation to book a WSOP win. I show up for the night shift, of course — just in time for hand-for-hand in the $40k — only to have Pauly fill me in on everything I missed between my arrival and my last reading of the Tao.

    yeah, he really does bridge the gap between old-poker and new-poker … and online and live. i really like the brawl that’s shaping up between him and bonomo.
