Ladies Night

Last night had two big firsts for the ladies and i must say I was very happy about both results. Firstly Annie Duke won the NBC Heads-up. Love her or hate her, everyone should be willing to admit that she is one of the very best ambassadors for the …

Annie Duke Wins the NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship!

I’m sorry if you were hoping to avoid news about the NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship (and that event desperately needs a new, shorter name) but when something big happens it’s my sworn duty to report it. And last night was big news indeed–Annie Duke marched through the elite field of 64 players to capture [...]

#979 – 2010 NBC Heads-Up Championship #5 – Annie Duke Has Just Won the Championship

Congratulations to my good friend Annie Duke who just won the NBC National Heads-Up Championship over long-time friend Erik Seidel in two out of three matches. Because of the long friendship of the pair and similar poker views, it wasn’t so much a triumph of one style over another, or one approach over another, as [...]

#977 – 2010 NBC Heads-Up Championship #3 – Annie Duke Rewrites the Story

You will note two interesting things about this picture. First, it was taken before Annie Duke’s first round match with Andy Bloch. That makes it a “before” picture in every sense of the word. Second, the gent with the long sideburns next to Andy’s right shoulder is Paul Wasicka. Please notice, though it is not [...]

#977 – 2010 NBC Heads-Up Championship #3 – Annie Duke Rewrites the Story

Hello fellow UBers

Hello fellow UBers
I recently got back from Las Vegas where Annie Duke, Ali Nejad, Jim Shipley and I all taught at the World Series of Poker Academy. I never would of thought growing up that I would love teaching so much. It’s very rewarding when you see the players really improve their skills. When we [...]

Debo FTW…almost

So I was following along with last night’s UBOC events, hoping to see Gary “debo34″ DeBernardi make the final table in the Stud-8/Omaha-8 tournament. And things were not looking good. With 15 or so players left Debo was down to his last 8,000 chips and needed to do some scooping, fast. And he did win [...]

Role Reversal

Last night’s UBOC Event #4 was another Sniper event, $20 for every player you knocked out. As I followed along one player seemed to be doing more than his fair share of scalp-collecting–HOYAZO, who kept picking up big pairs and getting people to put all their money in drawing very thin. As it turns out [...]

A star-studded lineup for a sick championship

UBOC is like a fine wine, it gets better with time. Looking back, UBOC 1 was like a clumsy baby trying to find his way in a world and wasn’t quite mature enough yet. That child crawled his way to a full upright position. He is no longer a toddler: he now has a personality [...]

EBay…

‘Tis the Season to go on EBay and get pissed off? Seriously. I got the Christmas lists from the kids and there were a few things on there that you couldn’t find just anywhere. They really demanded a trek onto EBay. Now, I have never really shopped on EBay. My ex-husband used to be way [...]
