The Poker Road

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

It is the Greenstein — Sebok — and a cast of thousands dozens several. One of the several that I respect is Bart Hanson who did the commentary at the now defunct “Live at the Bike” webcasts. How it will make money is pending. But, Barry isn’t a welfare queen; so it should be able to continue until the ads appear. In the meantime, enjoy the banner free atmosphere (more…)

Conspiracy Theories

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

Well, there is the grassy knoll. Then, there’s Area 51 and Roswell. According to some Internet sources, we can throw in online poker. The net is full of all kinds of possibilities that give the theorist fertile ground. (more…)

A Rare Hand History

Monday, October 29th, 2007

The Friday blog talked about snow blind play. It is play where you ignore the odds and the danger. There were 2-3 players that were snow blind through various parts of the hand. (more…)

WHEN the frost is on the punkin and the fodder’s in the shock,
And you hear the kyouck and gobble of the struttin’ turkey-cock,

Snow Blind

Saturday, October 27th, 2007

That is getting closer and closer to a possibility in the area I live in. We’re in the first serious cold snap which is still autumn-like but moves your attention toward the white stuff. In the stud games I’ve been playing, snow has been around even through the July hot spells. (more…)

Absolutely the End

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

I am done with this fiasco. And that is the only term that can be used. Conspiracies fail when they can’t keep the story straight. They aren’t able to do that because of all the convoluted actions and the head counts. It appears we’ve gotten there with the Absolute Poker allegations. If you are still playing there, you deserve what you get in all respects. (more…)

Absolutely an Insider

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

We’ve a great article by G.L. Hodges about just who Joe Norton is. Joe isn’t your average Grand Chief of the Mohawks. The article details his somewhat painted history.

Absolute Hogwash

Monday, October 22nd, 2007

Well, that overstates it but not by much. To mix the ol’ metaphors, the firemen slid down their pole at Absolute Poker and their original stone wall got blown to smithereens. The news/forum/blog crowd keep leaking and peaking. (more…)

Last of the Mohican

Friday, October 19th, 2007

Cooper’s Leather Stocking Tales dealt with the Mohawks — who were going under that name at the time. They are part of the Iroquois Confederation. They resided in upstate New York and up into Canada. The Kahnawake branch operates the server farm and licenses many of the poker sites still servicing U.S. Clients.
