Pope John XXIII

My humble apologies for the lack of posts - work has been especially hectic this week. What little free time I had could either be spent on a post or actually playing. Because I've been running so well on Party, it's an easy choice.

Fast Eddie Felson

Thanks for reading! I've dug up plenty of interesting, random poker stuff today, and perhaps a rant or two. Enjoy.

Howard Lederer

There's something about a midwest winter that makes any particular day seem an awful lot like all the others around it.

"At that point I ought to have gone away, but a strange sensation rose up in me, a sort of defiance of fate, a desire to challenge it, to put out my tongue at it. I laid down the largest stake allowed - four thousand gulden - and lost it. Then, getting hot, I pulled out all I had left, staked it on the same number, and lost again, after which I walked away from

Captain Renault, Casablanca

Oh joy! SuperBowl Sunday!
For the record, this year's TV ads sucked. But the game was fantastic.

I truly enjoyed my first ever World Poker Tour broadcast today on NBC. Unfortunately, no Party Poker ads, but the poker exposure is a great thing. Because of the
