Mid-Term Elections And Poker

This is a pretty good good article on what the Mid-Term Elections mean for online poker legalization.

I for one think there is a long road to hoe for this to ever get done if for no other reason than our country has a ton of other more meaningful problems...

November Nine 2010 is Set

7,319 entries started this year's WSOP Main Event and it is now down to the November Nine. Pretty amazing one of these guys is going walk away with close to 9 million in cash.

The only guy I'm familiar with is Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi.

Good luck! Maybe one day I'll get out there again. It's been 4 years now since my WSOP experience. Sigh...

Leaving Hosting With Blogger

I have decided to simply leave my hosting with Blogger after seeing the issues that surround doing the Custom Domains thing with my hosting provider. Not one right now to cause any undue pain for myself as I have little time to mess with website technical issues I've decided to simply link to Blogger from my main page and let Blogger host it all.

So from now on you can find me at http://huntsvegaspoker.blogspot.com/

Thanks and stay tuned...

Blogger Ending SFTP Publishing

Blogger will be ending SFTP Publishing on May 1. As such it gives me the opportunity to make a clean break from using Blogger's services for my poker blog and all corresponding Huntsvegas Poker League blogs.

Please stay tuned because I am going to leave this blog as is and simply migrate to a new blog format soon. I've been wanting to do this for a while now so I don't have to depend on someone's service to update my pages.

I will most likely decide to leave things as is here and then have a blog archive link back from the new page to this one.

I haven't decided yet but that is what it looks like I am going to do.

Until next time...

Roll Tide Roll!

HPL Musings And WBCOOP

The home game is coming up on the end of the ninth season. We started the Huntsvegas Poker League back in the summer of 2004. Then we were playing in my garage and have since migrated to a buddy's house.

It's been a blast and I am looking forward to many more. I'd like to do something special for the tenth season but am running out of ideas. We've done a pure NLHE league a number of times (one with a WSOP Main Event format final), a mixed games league, a HORSE league, and mixed Omaha league.

For anyone out there paying attention. What do you think we should run for the tenth iteration of the Huntsvegas Poker League?

Bueller... Bueller...?

P.S. >> Looking forward to the WBCOOP that PokerStars is putting on soon. Big props to one of the best online poker rooms out there.

PokerStars WBCOOP 2010

The WSOP finally got exciting at the end and I enjoyed the coverage once it got to the final 27. Hated that Darvin Moon didn't pull it out. Would've been a great story.

Not a whole lot on the poker front with me. Been playing almost exclusively in home games with a few SNGs online but can't remember the last time I played online.

Looking forward to the big NLHE Christmas tournament that we run every year that sees about 50 or so people with about a $2500 prize pool.

Roll Tide!!!

ESPN WSOP Main Event Coverage

Is anyone else finding the coverage that ESPN is doing of the WSOP Main Event is lacking in some form?

I can't put my finger on it but I find that I am not liking it that much for one reason or another.

It seems like they are only showing celebs and personal stories of players playing way too much instead of actual hands.

What do you think?
