saints win Mucking Pic the Saints on Sunday!

Call us what you want, but we’re betting on the underdog New Orleans Saints to win the Super Bowl. Maybe we mucking like the idea of a Hollywood ending too much, maybe it’s because our 44th President (Obama) picked New Orleans, or maybe it’s fate as the Saints, a franchise that came into existence 44 years ago, will make their first appearance in the 44th Super Bowl.

Besides all that mucking folklore here is the science behind our pick.

The third best player on the field (after Peyton Manning and Drew Brees) is the Colts DE Dwight Freeney who is a constant threat on the pass rush. Fortunately for the Saints, Mr. Freeney mucking F’d up his ankle against the Jet’s 2 weeks ago and is uncertain if he will play. And even if he does, we don’t think he’ll be mucking affective.

The Saints had the number 1 ranked offense and they did this with many weapons, from talented wide receivers and Reggie Bush out of the backfield. The Colts on the other hand lack any backfield as they ranked last in rushing this season. So if the Saints can do a good job of shutting down Colt’s receiver Dallas Clark and sack Manning a few times then the game is theirs.

Finally, they are the underdog, sure the Colt’s have been to the Super Bowl pretty recently and won, but they are the favorites. All that expectation has got to add unneeded stress. So the Saints have the advantage since they got nothing to loose.

Bottom line, both teams have lack luster defenses and can score very quickly on offense so look for a high scoring game. However, the Saints will win because they want to prove something, to do something for the city of New Orleans, where their franchise has helped the recovering city more than anything since that mucking b#$! Katrina. To them, it’s mucking personal!

2010 all star1 Betting on the 2010 NBA All Star Game

The 2010 NBA All-Star Break is nearly upon us! And we’re taking bets to see if Kobe and the West will defeat Lebron and the East for the 2nd year in a row.

Now, when thinking about such a bet its important to break it down and know the odds, just like in poker. But how different is basketball from poker? We dare ask the question and find many, many similarities in the betting mind set?

1. What is the strongest pair? If your holding a Kobe High Card with a Carmelo Anthony kicker is that better than a Lebron-Dwayne Wade pair?

2. Which is the better conference? If Las Vegas is the West and Atlantic City is the East which has the most talent?

3. What are your chances of catching a clutch river to stay alive? Is Kobe or Lebron the better clutch river?

4. What is the better hand? Would you rather have Kobe and Melo in your hand and the board read Nash, Stoudemire, and Duncan or have A.I. and Lebron in your hand with the board reading Howard, Garnett, and Wade?

5. In a heads up match who is the better player? Who has the most skill and patients to go all in and take it hole when it counts? Is it Kobe or is it Lebron?

These are the questions one must ask themselves when making bets this year. And until we shuffle up and tip off and see who bust out first, our bets on KOBE!

joe cada Down and Dirty with Joe Cada!

So I, Debbie Deuce Dallas, had the privilege of sitting down with that mucking cutie Joe Cada. I got down and dirty (in more ways than one) and found out some pretty juicy facts ;) that I didn’t have time (or permission) to post in the video interview.

Some of you may know this juicy stuff already but for those of you who don’t let me give you 5 interesting facts about our super hot World Champion.

#5. Joe Cada is 340 days younger than Peter Eastgate. He told that “old man” Peter that he was going to beat his record on day 3 of the tourney. Peter went “Psha!” and then put up his hand like a little crying Diva…well that is paraphrased.

#4. Cada’s first big cash came from an online tourney where he took home $150,000 when he was just 19. The IRS has recently endited Joe Cada and the PokerStars is seaking rembursement being that he was not legally allowed to gamble at the time…JK

#3. 150 screaming Cada fans can’t be wrong. Even when their flabby and bare skinned with Body Paint…eew flabby!

#2. Cada has 1 girlfriend, and after his $8,574,649 win he now has 1 girlfriend and 39 hoochie mama mistresses that are willing to do what ever to him…ME INCLUDED!

#1. By age 19 Cada was able to purchase a house with his poker winnings, which is good cause he’s going to need a place to stash away all those hoochies and do all the dirty little things when he goes all in! OO LALA!

Kiss

poker room reviews  Labor Day 2009 Muckin Madness   Vegas Poker Tournament Reviews

What’s Up Poker People!

We just got back from Labor Day in Vegas and have a fresh new batch of Tourney Reviews.

This time we played tribute to all of the station casinos off the strip and you know we cashed with the Locals! Cha Ching!

Sam’s Town
Time: Dailey 10 AM
Buy In: $23
Starting Chip Stack: 500
Starting Blinds: 5/10
Blind Periods: 20 Min
Re-entries: No
Players: Average of 3 tables for 25 players
Dealers: Friendly to the locals but didn’t give a muck about the Mucksters!
Poker Room: Nice but nothing spectacular.
Tourney Notes: The first hour of play was LIMIT HOLD’EM before they switched to NL. Not a big fan of the Limit as it allowed many players to play their hand all the way to the river witch allowed for many chances to suck out! Once the NL kicked in we did much better. In addition the crowed of this tourney had local senor citizen written all over it not to mention that old folks home soup smell.
Final Thoughts: Don’t go to this casino if your looking for a young crowd or many donks as all of these veteran players must have more experince than we have been alive. However, if your looking for a cheap way to get some Limit hold’em tourney experience this is the place!

Jokers Wild Casino
Time: Daily 2PM and 6:30PM
Buy In: $38.00 ($28.00 + $10 rebuy)
Starting Chip Stack: 5,500 (start with 3,000 + the additional 2,000 rebuy and an additional 500 chip that you get if you register 30 min before the tourney starts with a players card. And the cool thing is you get a free mucking gift for signing up for a players card. Yeah, we got a 6 pack of coke (AKA a mixer for our rum) and the poker room manager didn’t mind that we had to many beers and kept forgetting our coke after each table change. The nice manager kept bringing it over to where we sat.)
Blind Periods: 20 min for the first hour and then 15 minutes after that.
Starting Blinds: 25/50
Re-entries: For the first our.
Players: 20 players, 2-3 tables.
Dealers: Friendly and skillful dealers who have seen it all. They do everything from cracking jokes about how the guy in the 10 seat smells bad to discussing our poker styles after the tourney.
Poker Room: A 4-table room with one of the best poker managers out there. Very friendly.
Tourney Notes: These tourneys are probably the best bang for your buck. At $38 George Washingtons you get a pretty nice chip stack eliminating a chance at a crap shoot! And believe me no one likes to shoot crap!!! But aside from that the crowed was made up of locals who were very familiar with each other. Some were the young gun type who had recently moved to Vegas and others were the Veterans who have been playing poker at least 3 decades before we could utter the word “Muck”. The best part about Joker’s Wild is if you play the 2 PM tourney, make final table, and cash, you still have about a half hour before the next tourney starts so you can take those winnings and mucking do it again!!
Final Thoughts: Just want to say thanks to every one over there at Joker’s Wild! Seriously, this casino is one of the most enjoyable places to play. From their amazing poker room staff to their awesome bar (most economical place to get trashed) and to the knowledgeable locals you meet, this place gives any newbie to the station casino circuit a grand education and warm welcome of what lies off the strip!

Club Fortune Casino
Time: Tues, Wed, Thurs 6PM and Sat 4PM
Buy In: $40
Starting Chip Stack: 3,500
Blind Periods: 15
Starting Blinds: 25/50
Re-entries: No
Players: Limited to 2 tables max.
Dealers: Some of the friendliest dealers and poker room managers. Always called players by their names (even the Mucksters who had just sat down for the first time in this casino)
Poker Room: A brand new poker room with great lighting and a staff that is trying really hard to please every player.
Tourney Notes: If you want a cheap laid back tourney that feels more like a home game this is the place for you. While the crowd is mostly older locals they are all very friendly and are willing to check pots all the way to the river just to keep the conversation going a little longer. However, if your looking for a more competitive experience this may not be the place for you.
Final Thoughts: This casino may be a long ways from the strip and the crowd may be older than the kind you get your noodle wet with at Tao Beach but this casino has gone the extra mile in making you feel welcome and wanting to come back (the Las Vegas Sun agrees). Their rewards program looks like the took the Gold Card brochure and copied it prize for prize that include everything from Wii Fit, Cuisinart Wine Coolers, to brand new slot machines. Not to mention the dealers and the poker room manager go out of their way to call you buy name and when my All-In pocket Aces got cracked by a runner runner the whole room went “Damn Son! That’s a bad beat”. So they gave me a cool consolation prize despite the fact they didn’t have an Aces cracked prize for tourneys.

I’m Out!

Debbie’s Shout Outs
OK, Debbie Deuce Dallas here with a few shout outs for all you hot Young Guns and all my Poker Playdies (what’s a Playdy? Just imagine a sexy poker chick with Beyonce’s Single Ladies song in the background).

Hard Rock Casino is my new favorite place to play! While I busted out early and had to go off and let Vinny Hustle his way into the money, I took a few shots of Patron with one of the many great dealers (Kimmi you rock girl!) Seriously! Any young poker player should check out this room. It’s beautiful, like the dealers (probably hottest dealers in Vegas), and the crowd is full of many young, fun players! Not to mention they’re “Johnny on the spot” with the cocktails and you know we Mucksters totally need our cocktails aka more shots!

Planet Hollywood Casino offers the latest tourney on the strip. 2AM!!! But the party doesn’t stop there. OH NO! This tourney is the closest thing to a drunken hold’em club. With a great combination of inebriated mid 20’s guys and gals it’s the best place to flex your poker skills while the top music is pumping. Seriously! It should be called “Club Hold’em!” It’s got it all! The hotties, the douches, the scantly clad girls, flashy lights, the scandals, and of course the drinks!! And for the $60.00 dollar buy in it sure beats a cover charge! Not to mention my quad kings knocked out a big time shit talker ;)

Jokers Wild has got a great staff and great tourneys! I just want to give the tournament champion (who knocked me out in the #2 spot) Holly, a big shot out! Mad props girl! You were totally were knocking out people left and right and had some great hole cards! With 2 hot chicks finishing 1 and 2 it’s no wonder those boys walked away griping!

KISS

badbeat Bad Beats are a BITCH!

Mucking Eh! Sure those might be the words out of your mouth when you get a bad beat…but I’m sure there is usually one less M and one more F in your vocabulary. Regardless of what words escape from your lips in your moment of complete frustration the point is bad beats are inevitable in poker. You can play the hand perfectly and regardless of what happens your still subject to that degree of luck and that stupid mucker who just happened to suck out!

It’s like Chris Ferguson said in that commercial where he trapped the fish with only 4 outs and on the river that little fishy hit 1 of his 4 outs. “Sometime the right move just isn’t enough”

So in case your on tilt from a bad beat you’ve experienced lately here are my top 5 favorite bad beats that at the end of the day make me feel a little better about myself.


5. 2005 WSOP Main Event, First Hand. Oliver Hudson Heads-Up against Sam Farha.
This one is “disaster movie status” said WSOP announcer Norman Chad. In the very first hand of the 2005 WSOP Farha was dealt Ace, 10 off suit and bet 200 chips. Every one folded except actor Oliver Hudson (son of Goldie Hawn and brother of that smoking hot babe Kate Hudson…mmm Kate Hudson). Any way Hudson, who had pocket 10’s, reraised to 450 chips. Farha called.

The flop came Ace, Ace, 10 giving both players a full house but Farha had the nuttiest of all the nuts! Both players checked slow playing it. A queen came on the turn and Hudson went all in (even though he was drawing dead).Farha immediately called and flipped over his cards leaving Hudson stunned. “He went through 10 Grand in 90 seconds. Those are Paris Hilton numbers,” said Chad as Hudson went adios on the very first hand of the Main Event.


4. 2008 WSOP Main Event, Day 4. Jean Robert Bellande Heads-Up against Sarkis Akopyan
This one is a true bad beat on a 4 outer suck out by Akopyan. But it reminds me that you should be MUCKING cautious going all in pre flop against some one who clearly has you covered. Action was on Akopyan who raised to 16K pre flop with 10, 9 off suit. Bellande who had Ace, Queen off suit moved all in with his last 66K. Akopyan who was the clear under dog in the hand called with only 37% odds of winning the hand, but hey he had him covered so why the MUCK not!

The flop came Ace 2, 8, and Bellande looked as if he was going to double up. “No Jacks or 7’s!” Bellande quickly cried out. The turn was a 6. “That’s the card I’m talking about!” Bellande said as he started his celebration. Not so fast Jean Robert! Akopyan could still hit a 7 the table reminded him. “Bye bye called out Akopyan just before the river and BAM! It’s a mucking 7! Akopyan completed the straight and is either a mind reader/ an Angle Shooter / or one Mucking lucky Russian! Bad beat John Robert, bad beat fo sho!


3. 2005 National Heads-Up Poker Championship, Match #2 of Championship Match, Phil “The Poker Brat” Hellmuth Heads-Up against Chris “Jesus” Ferguson
Sixty-four of the worlds best poker players came to the Golden Nugget in 2005 for the National-Heads Up Poker Championship. After many rounds the final 2 players that remained were Jesus and the Poker Brat! After winning the first match in a best of 3 series, Hellmuth was looking to take the title in 2 straight matches. It didn’t exactly go down that way.

Being dealt Ace, 3 off suit Hellmuth checked. Ferguson assuming Hellmuth was weak raised to 28K (he did this with 9, 2 off suit people! Did Jesus really think he could walk on water?) The flop came deuce, 5, 9 giving Chris a two pair. Perhaps Jesus really was…well…Jesus. However, Hellmuth had a gut shot straight draw. Ferguson raised to 40K and Hellmuth called.

The turn came and it was a 4! Hellmuth hit his gut shot! And what a hidden straight it was. That mucking Brat! Ferguson checked over to Hellmuth who bet 40K. Jesus thinking he had the best hand at this point reraised up to 120K. Hellmuth went all in and Ferguson called. To Ferguson’s shock he realized his 2 pair was second best to Hellmuth’s straight. Only a 2 or a 9 could defeat the 91% odds of Hellmuth winning the hand. And the river…a 9! Jesus walks among us! And Hellmuth hit the floor in a theatrics only the Poker Brat is capable of. The Championship match was all tied up at 2 matches a piece…after 20 minutes of crying like Phil does so well he regained his composure and returned to crucify Jesus, but still what a bad beat on Match #2!


2. 2008 Golden Nugget Satellite for WSOP Main Event Seat
This one comes from our favorite poker playing butcher, cause hey the Mucksters have to eat some times, and when we do we hit up the Bristol Farms market where our favorite poker playing butcher reminds us that even true poker enthusiasts have a day job.

So Debbie had just been eliminated from a tourney at Hollywood Park Casino where a full house (on the river) beat her nut flush and and she was feeling down (this is where you say “awe” cause damn she’s cute when she’s sad). Any way to cheer up she went to the market (she has a thing for markets) and she ran into our favorite poker playing butcher and told him about the bad beat. “HA!” said the butcher, “You think that’s bad” and then he told her about his horrible bad beat.

He was 5 spots away from winning a WSOP Main Event Seat in a satellite at the Golden Nugget. He was short stacked but had pocket aces and the board had Ace, Ace, 10,  (One Ace and the 10 were diamonds). The Butcher, with his Quad aces, checked and the guy on the button raised. Every one folded but our Butcher. He went all in. The Mucker on the button called. He turned his cards over to reveal King and a Queen of Diamonds. Our Butcher was like “Oh ya I’m gonna double up!” The turn came and it was Jack of hearts giving the button guy a straight but not enough to crack the quads. Only 1 out remained, the Jack of diamonds for the Royal Flush…did the button guy hit it?

Well…what do you think? This is a bad beat story after all!


1. 2008 WSOP Main Event, Final Table, Scott Montgomery’s 5th place elimination.
What a horrible place to get a bad beat, at the WSOP Main Event final table. But this one is one I think I will remember for a long time. And maybe that is just me because who really remembers who went out in 5th place. It was all about Peter Eastgate this year so why not remember a major suck out by the 2008 champ!

Eastgate was dealt pocket 6’s and he raised pre flop to 1.25 Million. Dennis Philips with 6, 5 off suit mucked his hand, and action came over to Scott Montgomery who had an Ace and 3 of diamonds. Being short stacked Montgomery went all in and Eastgate called the additional 5.5 Million. They turned their cards over and this is where it got Mucking exciting! OO can you feel the intensity building up…please take a moment to feel the intensity before you continue reading…OK READY!

The flop came Ace, 4, Queen and Montgomery’s fans went ballistic like Iranian missles (seriously they needed riot police to calm the excitement of the fans…J/K).  Philips at this point revealed that he had mucked a 6 and Montgomery cheekily responded “Yeah but it’s just going to be that much uglier when he hits the last 6 on the river.” The turn came and its another Ace! Montgomery with the trips and Eastgate with only a 2% chance of winning the hand. Only 1 out (the 6 of diamonds) could save Peter Eastgate . It looked as if Montgomery was about to double up and he was grinning from ear to ear…and the the 6 of diamonds came on the river whipping that smirk off Montgomery’s face oh so fast! What a suck out! Crazy full house for Eastgate and Montgomery went home…but hey for the baddest of bad beats he still took home over 3 Million George Washingtons so don’t feel that bad for the guy! If only we all could be so lucky with our bad beats!


So clearly Bad Beats are just a part of poker we must all accept. Even the pros accept it. So I leave you with this, do you still consider it a bad beat if looking back you don’t feel you would play the hand any different or do you simply say “That’s poker folks” ?

I’M OUT, No bad beats!

dont mess girls Poker Chicks: The Sharks You Should Fear the Most!

Since we’re well in the money at the 2009 WSOP Main Event I want to give my girl Kara Scott a shout out for being the only woman to cash in both the 2008 and 2009 Main Event.

With that in mind I wonder why women get such a “bad rap” when it comes to our poker skills. I mean I think the real verdict on us, women, is that we’re just smarter with our money so far less of us take to gambling as a serious thing. I mean look at Annette Obrestad, this woman, who was 18 at the time, took top notch at the 2007 WSOP Europe Main Event being the youngest and first woman to win a WSOP Main Event.

That should like totally put all you haters in your place. But if it doesn’t I dare you to tell me tell me Vanessa Roussu or Annie Duke is a chum…I double dare you…cause then I will kick you in the balls and call you a stupid stupid man!

For heavens sake we girls should not be over looked at the tables. On the contrary, we should be your biggest fears. Because when you see a sea of testosterone Moby Dicks wanting to whip it out right there on the felt the first set of T&A should be your wake up call. That little “sweetie” is there to play and may be the one who takes all your cash and your ignorance could be your undoing.

Let’s take STRIP POKER for example. More than likely your going to call an all in from a girl because:

a. She’s a girl and you want to see the goodies.
b. Your an ignorant horny guy who thinks girls are always “bluffin with their muffin”.

So unless you have got the nuts your not going to see any skin because this little lady is using her ASSets and the fact that your male to her advantage . She knows your going to call her all in and is pushing in with the nuts simply because you have nuts. Now hows that for reverse psychology!

Bottom line. Put your egos away! Stop being stupid ignorant horny SOB’s and fear us ladies! Other wise my girls Shannon Elizabeth and Evelyn Ng are going to eat you for lunch! I mean there is a reason some women find all ladies events harder than regular tourneys. It’s because when silly boys aren’t drooling on the felt we actually have to beef up our poker faces.

So next time you see that fine young thang looking all seductive and sexy across from you as she caresses her chips…remember that SHE’S A POKER PLAYER TOO!

KISS

mucksters at wsop Mucksters Reporting Live (actually the moment our hang over lifted) on Poker Palooza, the WSOP Main Event, and a crazy 4th!What’s up all you Mucksters? Vinny Vegas here and we just got back from Vegas and what a mucking awesome 4th of July weekend it was (more like 6 day weekend). It was so sick staying at the Rio with Poker Palooza going down as the WSOP Main Event kicked off. I was in Poker Heaven, taking down pots with the greats and meeting some mucking awesome people, but hey its Vegas so what did you expect.

First off I got to say the 2009 World Series of Poker is one for the books. I’m talking about 57 bracelets in 50 days. And with the main event under way who knows whats gonna happen next. I mean damn this years Main Event is the third largest in the 40 year life span of the WSOP, with a total of 6,494 players creating a prize pool of $61,043,600. And if your in the lucky 10% who make the money then your going to at least double up your investment because the last 648 players at least are taking home $21,365.

But who will be in the 10%? And from where? This year the WSOP has players from 99 different countries. And if your keeping count (which we are) the US has all you other countries owned in terms of bracelets. But your probably asking “how many bracelets has the US won Vinny?”

34 bracelets you Muckers! Next is Canada with 3! So I’m putting my money that its going to be Americans who are the lucky 9 to make the final table and guaranteed a million dollar pay day of at least $1.26 Million.

So get your calenders ready and start counting down 114 days cause that’s how long we got till the Final Table Showdown! And until then we just need to wait 21 days until we get to enjoy the WSOP action on (witch ESPN filmed with 40 mucking cameras WTM! That’s 5 more than this years Super Bowl used!)


Howdy Yall, this be your favorite Cowboy Connor. All I can say is I MUCKING LOVE VEGAS BABY! YEEHA!

I mean hot damn there were some hotties out there, the mucking Milwaukee’s Best babes were flaunting their goodies and the Jack Links Beef Jerky hunnies, well they could of jerked my jerky! WooEE!

All righty, enough about the reasons I wake up with morning glory. I want to take a moment and step back from all the ladies and Main Event Action and really pay tribut (did I spell that right Vin? Get the dictionary…muck it!)…anyway I wanted to pay this tribut thang to Ante Up For Africa.

I mean there’s a whole lota bad business going down in that country of Africa…I mean continent…shit (I told them someone else should of said this crap) But it’s not crap, seriously. A lot of bad shit is happening and this WSOP event is an amazing thang. It brings celebs and pros together for probably my favorite charity event of all time. We should have more crap like this to stop all that crap over ther…at least to make a difference in the lives of some Africans.


OK wow. We like so should not have given Connor the “serious segment” (This is Debbie Deuce Dallas FYI). I’m like so sorry if he offended any one. He meant well…OK enough about Connor, it’s MY TURN!!!!

So yeah we like totally rocked out in Vegas. We were hot (I was at least) and OMG! I got to see Matt Damon!!!!!! Yeah he whispered some inappropriate things in my ear that a lady like me could never type on a blog like this…Oh Matty!

debbiedeuce at wsop1 Mucksters Reporting Live (actually the moment our hang over lifted) on Poker Palooza, the WSOP Main Event, and a crazy 4th!

Oh and did I mention Ben Affleck (oh my god that boy looked fine! Sorry Vinny but I would have so gone back to his room if he asked me to…TEE HEE) So all I can say is yes I agree with Connor, there should be like totally way more of these eye candy…I mean Ante up for Africa events…TOTALLY!

OK, so Lisa Hamilton (this years WSOP Ladies Champion) I have a bone to pick with you. I know going out on day 1 of the Main Event is frustrating but I can’t believe you vowed to never play in a tourney again. I mean damn girl I so like want to throw down with you! And you all ready proved you got what it takes (that bracelet of yours that you didn’t get to long ago should be a nice little reminder). So please please please don’t make good on your vow. Cause this year the Mucksters were out having fun in Vegas but next year look for us in chairs with chips at the WSOP! And hopefully you’ll be right there with us.

miss mike 219x300 Long Live the King of Pop

Vinny and Connor told me to write something about poker…but I’ve been up all night…I watched the Wiz, I brought out all my old Michael Jackson vinyls and you know what, FUCK what Vinny and Connor want.

I want to take this moment to tell the world that I am drinking a 40 at 10 AM (this one’s for Mike).

Sure he wasn’t the most “normal” of celebrities but this man changed Music. He Thrilled us and may have been the greatest entertainer of all time. And even if South Park and so many others made fun of this man, it’s only because he had reached such a state of super stardom that we could make fun these things we never understood. But he lived in a world where he couldn’t step foot outside his house with out being swarmed, he had no real child hood, and if your a true fan then you definitely heard his confession about his father on Oprah, so for what ever reasons he may have, there was nothing “normal” about his life from the get go.

Bottom line Mike, we will miss you. I had my fingers crossed for your up coming London tour and a hopeful glorious comeback, but sadly your legacy remains where it is.

Where ever you are Michael, I’m BETTING your walking on the moon right now and it doesn’t matter if your black or white, cause to me you’ll always be the King of Pop.

So much Love

poker future 300x238 Poker in the Year 2091

With Poker Palooza (formerly known as the Gaming Life Expo) just a few weeks away I started to think about Poker in the future. And then I fell asleep still thinking about poker of the future and had this dream about poker in the year 2091. Here were the top 5 changes to the game.

#5 Robot Dealers
These cybertronic dealers are not all bolts and microchips. Oh No! They’re way more than that. I’m talking about the ability to shuffle 8 decks at once, to deal out the cards in pin point precision, recite the rules at a whim, and the ability to eye the pot and within an instance tell you to the exact chip the value. The only down side was supposedly super hackers could do some sort of wire tap thingy and fix the game. So bottom line, in the future learn to be a hacker first and poker player second.

#4 The Ever-Changing Poker Face Helmet

This thing doesn’t look like a helmet when it’s on. In fact, you wouldn’t even notice some one was wearing it at first because it looks like a normal human face one second, and the next your staring at brontosaurus. That’s right, this futuristic gismo gives the card player the ability to change his face into any shape, form, or image he desires. Be it the head of a great white shark, or a that bright blue face and floppy red hat of Papa Smurf. This sucker is a must have for an armature going up against the big boys.

#3 The Bluff-O reader Sunglasses
We all know that many poker players wear sunglasses to hide their poker faces, but in the future sunglasses do way more than that. WAY MORE! The Bluff-O reader Sunglasses have a built in monitor that recognizes voice signatures and can determine the truthfulness of a players call or raise similar to a police lie detector. A real pro in the future is the one who can bluff the Bluff-O reader.

#2 The Fog Horn
What? A fog horn? Didn’t those things come out in the 20th century? Yes, but for some reason in the future it’s become the fad (a pretty annoying one) to use a fog horn every time a player raises or calls. Sure you don’t get many friends at the table with this vintage device but for some reason no one in the future complains about it, well almost no one, Phil Hellmuth Version 6.72 was programmed to complain non-stop, then again, it’s Phil, so what’s new.

#1 The Invisibility Suit
Supposedly the idea of the invisibility suit started when US soldiers behind enemy lines wanted to play some cards, but it caught on with the pros. There’s nothing more intimidating than being unable to read your opponents Poker Face because all you see is…nothing, well you do see the floating chips when they call or raise but still it’s mucking hard to read these suckers. Nothing creepier than watching your chips float away after you lost a showdown.

All and all I can say that as cool as the future is (minus the Robot girls that give you drinks. Call me old school but I prefer flesh and bones any day) poker in the present is way cooler, except for maybe the Ever-Changing Poker Face Helmet.

bow tie WSOP Has a 30 Way Tie for 1st in $5,000 No Limit Holdem

OMG! 30 players remain in the WSOP Event #41 $5,00 No-Limit Hold’em Shootout and there is a 30 way tie for first!! And i repeat OMG!

Talk about difficulty trying to pick one man to keep ur eye on. I mean when Phil Ivey is tied with 29 others he suddenly isn’t as hott.

Silly tournament structure. Basically every table played down to just 1 player with no rest. So every one came on top (…mm…NVM…) with the same amount of chips. I hope day 2 gets me going cause right now my hormones are all over the place with 30 hotties to root for.

Sigh. Life is hard when you’re a girl.
