PokerMoments transforms into The National Enquirer

Did Nicole Richie get breast augmentation?  What’s the scoop on Clay Aiken’s new hairstyle??  Is Pamela Anderson headed for a breakdown???  Well, we don’t know any of that, but here’s what secret we do know… As a follow up to our review on Bringing Down the House, the exciting book by Ben Mezrich about MIT [...]

Book Review: “Bringing Down the House”

Here’s a good book for gambling fans – perhaps even as a stocking stuffer for your fellow gambling fans… “Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six MIT Students Who Took Vegas for Millions,” by Ben Mezrich.  It’s an exciting read, and gives you some sense from the “inside” of card counting, Vegas and [...]

I was like Lois Lane

I had a weird epistemic thing happen to me on Wednesday as I was coming home from a night of watching my friend play poker at the Borgata in Atlantic City.  As you probably are aware, it’s possible to know an individual under two different descriptions and not realize that the two descriptions pick out the same [...]

When It Rains It Pours at JonWoodGaming

Today was not a good day at JonWoodGaming.  I started the day with around $70 in my account, $5 of which was given last night by the owner of the site to me and all the players who have signed up with JWG.  Thanks again Jon, but I’m afraid I haven’t used this money wisely, because I now have about $10 left [...]
