#978 – 2010 NBC Heads-Up Championship #4 – Day of the Dog, Part II
March 7, 2010 by mcraig Filed under Full Tilt Poker
[This is part of my narrative of the NBC Heads-Up Championship, which this year is not appearing in real time but in serial form, as I write. Although I'm writing quickly, I'm also experiencing it all and trying to give at least a few hours of perspective before writing. Consequently, I'm posting this on Sunday [...]

#975 – 2010 NBC Heads-Up Championship #1 – First on the Bus
March 5, 2010 by mcraig Filed under Full Tilt Poker
Today is Friday, March 5, 2010 and it’s 12:40 PM PST as I write this. I am in the right corner of what is usually the Caesars Poker Tournament Room. It has been converted, identically to 2006-2009, to the studio set for the NBC National Heads-Up Championship. Although I had my moments last night, like [...]

#972 – Allen Cunningham is Funnier Than You Would Imagine
February 24, 2010 by mcraig Filed under Full Tilt Poker
Allen Cunningham hosted the FTOPS XV Main Event last Sunday, so I tuned in for his Pro Chat. Like Erik Seidel, Cunningham is smart and witty, but his reluctance to become a public figure has kept his personality carefully hidden. I know Allen a little, not well, and was curious how he would appear in [...]

#971 – Words of Wisdom from Gavin Smith
February 23, 2010 by mcraig Filed under Full Tilt Poker
I made sure to watch Gavin Smith’s Pro Chat on February 15. As I’ve written before, ANYTHING can come out of Gavin Smith’s mouth. I expected nothing less in the Pro Chat and was not disappointed.
One of the cardinal rules of gambling is that you should never ask a poker player what you should do with [...]

#970 – FTOPs Recap: Two of the Good Guys Won
February 22, 2010 by mcraig Filed under Full Tilt Poker
FTOPS XV is now officially in the books. It was a rare winning series for me, not that I am particularly happy about it. For me, the lingering memory will be busting out of the Main Event after flopping a set, only to lose to a player who flopped a higher set and made quads [...]

#968 – FTOPS XV, Event #1, PART IV – Who Is Anybody?
February 18, 2010 by mcraig Filed under Full Tilt Poker
[This is the conclusion of my cyber-adventures during the first event of FTOPS XV. I have plenty to report on OTHER FTOPS events, but I’m focusing first on the initial event because (a) a lot of interesting things happened, and (b) I still had high hopes for FTOPS, undimmed by actual results.]
THE “F” IN FTOPS [...]

February 17, 2010 by mcraig Filed under Full Tilt Poker
[This is the continuation of my account of Event #1, from Wednesday, February 10. In the first two parts, I provided the traditional “media coverage” angle, letting you know who did what and how. Because I recognize that information is available from other web sites that cover FTOPS, plus in the results themselves, I wanted [...]
