Invented by nomadic Druidsin the 3rd Century, its name originally could only be pronounced by a well-squeezed wolf. However, after the “Treat Thy Wolves the Way Thee Would Like to be Treated Act” of early Druid law, the name of the game was changed to “Toth Hoth Thoth” and could be easily spoken by humans, [...]

Badugi is an action game that originated in Asia and is quickly making its way through North America (and into online card rooms.) Badugi is a triple draw lowball game. You’re dealt four cards and you draw three times. Wagering takes place after the initial deal and after each of the three draws. You don't want high cards, you don't want pairs and you don't want matching suits. When you hold four cards...

As BJ Nemeth’s earlier entry mentions, there’s been a few Olympians who’ve played at the World Series of Poker. But none of them would top the credentials of Michael Phelps (from the NY Times:) An avid cards player, Phelps said it would be cool to participate in the World Series of Poker. “My game is [...]

Props to DJ for his great post, I just wanted to add a lengthier biopsy on what exactly happened. We were outplayed. But we did it while creating plays, while moving the ball, while attacking the other team, and while bouncing back from taking our lumps. Tyler Thigpen threw a pick-six in the last three minutes of the game. What did he do after that when he got the ball back? Roll over and die? Hand...

via media.kansascity.com Today, the undefeated Red & Gold (1-0 in preseason play) take on the Arizona Cardinals (0-1). Here I was, hoping we'd get a showdown between two QBs from the 2006 Draft, Brodie Croyle and Matt Leinart. However, there's a nasty rumor out there that Leinart is apparently so awesome, the Cards may be starting Kurt Warner instead. Again, it's because he's so awesome. You don't...

Life as a Vegas poker dealer (Free subscription) | 15/08/2008
It's late in my shift and I'm dealing a $2-4 limit game with five players thinking the game will break at any second. Instead, a couple dealers from next door (the IP) come in and sit in the game. The game eventually filled back up, and with the two dealers in the game it was somewhat loud... The floorperson had on a pink shirt. Normally, this would have nothing to do with our story except that the...

Is Senator Obama “playing the race card”? Or is it Senator McCain who is? Who’s playing the religion card? The war-hero card? The age card? Or is it the youth card? I can't remember. And how many cards are in this deck? OK, so... here: Barack Obama is black, yes, he is. He’s African-American. On his father’s side, that is; his mother is white. He’s Christian. He’s lived in Indonesia and Hawaii. His...

When & what started you playing poker?I started playing poker in its current form a little after I started law school. I remember I was about to head out to meet a friend for some drinks and at 10pm, I saw the WPT on the Travel Channel. I thought to myself, "Who the hell would watch people play cards on the TV?" An hour later, I was running late to the bar so I set up my VCR and taped the second hour....

Torpoint Athletic's 3-1 victory over Elburton Villa, in the Carlsberg South West Peninsula League premier division, will be remembered for the eight yellow and three red cards issued by referee Simon Mann and not the football.
