"IMHO Sprinkled With a Few Facts" invites you into an arena of exploration. Never make book that what you read on any one website is the absolute bottom line, it's usually someone's point of view/opinion sprinkled with a few facts - jaded to say the least because the object of most websites is to SELL - SELL - SELL! While PokerWorks is in a very competitive business and also trying to bring in a few bucks for our next online poker tournament buy-in, the writers behind the face also have opinions and years of first hand knowledge about many things - we really want to shove them down your throat in this series and see if we can open your thoughts by sharing our special, JADED, point of view and opinion. Welcome to the game!
