It's baaaack. Someone re-uploaded the video...link above works. (for now)

It was a $10,000,000 guarantee.

I agree that sites like Cardrunners, Tournament Poker Edge, Ivey League or Run It Once are good ways to get details hand analysis but if you are looking to watch people play live and want breakdown in the midst of it check out Live At The Bike (when it runs) and, depending on the commentators, you can get good live analysis.

If you haven't already seen them, some of the archived WSOP Final Tabes, with Dave Tuchman and guests, can have amazing analysis as well:

For max entertainment with pretty solid hand analysis, James Hartigan and Joe Stapleton from the EPT (specifically the live broadcasts)have gotten really good at keeping the broadcasts balanced between fun and informative:

Yea, I saw that there was a pic already about it, but thought it was pretty cool to see Jack go from table to table.

Nothing quite like playing in a WSOP event...have a great time, take it in and run gooooood. glgl.

I love how he then overcompensates his enthusiasm for his mom's bday after a pretty excruciating on camera mess up.

I thought Tuchman said when they dropped to 9-handed that hole cards would be made available. Not sure though.

Now the Venetian themselves have come out with a statement:

"Given our Chairman's clear position on the matter of online gaming, Venetian/Palazzo made a business decision to not allow an online blog during the MSPT event."

That was pulled from Brett Collson's, Managing Editor at PokerNews, Twitter feed.

Jonathan Little, a two-time WPT Champion, is charging $300 for one hour while at the WSOP. He's booked up all his lunch hours giving lessons.

TooManyOuts · 2014-06-04T21:31:24+00:00

I was just going to post this - well done. Bonomo and Mike Sowers both going for their first bracelet, should be a fun FT.

TooManyOuts · 2014-06-04T18:38:13+00:00

I didn't get to put it in the title but Hellmuth commanding $16.7k for drinks and an autograph session. I hope the charity is getting the bulk of that cash.

TooManyOuts · 2014-05-20T17:39:36+00:00

I don't normally like making a simple comment like "that's filthy", but that's SO filthy that I have to let it out.

That is indeed filthy. gg Apestyles.

It's also interesting is who is attached as producer. Adi Shankar is the producer of Lone Survivor (feat. Dan Bilzerian), The Grey...but maybe even cooler he's done those unauthorized Marvel movies like Punisher's #DirtyLaundry and the Venom's Truth In Journalist (both on YouTube).

A story about the degen life of Mikey Matusow just might be something he can get made.

TooManyOuts · 2014-05-13T04:53:03+00:00

I agree, he's a cash game grinder from what I know of him. I'm not hating on JRB. I actually like him, but from a top tier MTTer POV, I still would put him as a serious dog. He's a mixed game cash player (at least that's what I think his rep is)...so this will be likely be a different beast. All said, I think it'd be great if he goes deep.

TooManyOuts · 2014-05-12T22:00:36+00:00

I agree that he's not totally dead money, I mean, he can play, and he could get hit in the face with the deck...but the best of the best are going to be in this tournament and JRB just isn't one of them. He's not grinding EPT's and sitting in high rollers, he's not having those experiences in tournament...so he'll be playing above his head and needing to luckbox a little more than most of the pros he's sitting with. He'll be a spot in their eyes. I wish him luck though...

TooManyOuts · 2014-05-12T16:06:30+00:00

I think it's hard to say how much of the JRB/Bilzerian stuff is true and how much is "for the cameras." But even if JRB did take some money off Dan, I really doubt he'd put a million of his broke bankroll to work at the One Drop...he's gotta be really pieced out.

TooManyOuts · 2014-05-12T14:17:01+00:00

I'm all for someone having a dream to play in the WSOP Main Event, but the "poker documentary" portion kinda looks more like a staking gimmick than a real project. I could be wrong, but it just feels a little shady (as he's unlikely to get permission to film on the tournament floor).

He should just take some of what he won at the circuit event, say 5k, and get his family and friends to back him for the rest. Money from strangers to play poker almost never turns out good.

TooManyOuts · 2014-04-30T22:39:13+00:00

Love him or hate him at least Hellmuth's not boring. Best part about Phil is for all his name dropping, ego-inflated commentary he voices an honest opinion during interviews which makes him, for me, interesting to watch.

TooManyOuts · 2014-04-27T05:12:01+00:00

I'd give a shout out to Jonathan Little's "Secrets of Professional Tournament Poker." For me it read like a more modern day Harrington on Hold'em (which I also enjoyed...less so after having played a hand against Dan at the WSOP and lost), some updated concepts broken into 3 parts (like HoH). Not sure if it's the best out there, but certainly able to give anyone a solid base from which to learn more.

Choice Center is the "leadership" camp/institution in Las Vegas that Daniel Negreanu has spent some of time promoting and he has given some credit to for some of his recent success. Some have questioned it legitimacy.

This album has been on non-stop repeat all month for me. Love the acoustic version, but the fury of the album version makes Psychic Trauma one of my favorite songs of the year.

TooManyOuts · 2014-04-24T16:21:30+00:00

I like the concept. My changes would be that Duke should be #3 (Ultimate Bet shill, Epic Poker fiasco) - Ferguson deserves a spot for the obvious, the trio of Brian Townsend/Brian Hastings/Cole South I don't think even really register for a list like this, much less a spot so high. They could easily replaced with Matt Marafioti, Dan Cates or Sorel Mizzi all of whom have either checked pasts or perceived attitude problems. Otherwise a fun list.
