The Zynga Pokercon is underway at the Palms. Right now some 500 people are packed in to an upstairs ballroom attending \”Zynga U\” — a mini poker boot camp for Zynga players — with Annie Duke as the lead professor. I think they\’re at the part where she teaches them why Q4 is a bad starting hand against a raise and a re-raise in early position.
Perfect time for me to \”work the hallways\” … also perfect time to kick off my experimental \”Pokerati Mincast\” — a super-short audio and/or video taste of what this weekend is all about.
Sure enough, I found this lovely lady (I thought she was selling cigarettes) who was kind enough to explain to me one of the \”games\” they have here for players this weekend.
