UBOC has started!

I am really excited about the schedule this year because it includes so many mixed games. Mixed games are a big trend in tournament poker right now. All you have to do is glance at The World Series of Poker schedule to see that. But outside of trendiness I think mixed games are really what [...]

Bahamabubble

Hey UB! So I’m here in the Bahamas for the PCA at the ludicrously over-priced but decadent Atlantis resort. I’ve been here for a week and it’s been rather mixed. I got into the main event which was awesome and my day 1 was mixed to say the least. I managed to lose over half [...]

“Sleep Is Your Friend”

We are taking things to new levels of absurdity in terms of running around and trying to get everything packed into one day.  These last few in Vegas have really been setting new records in that category, and I’m wondering just how sane we are for trying to get it all jammed in.
 
Stapes came out [...]

The Poker Brat, 2Nite

It’s Wednesday and that means tonight is Poker2Nite night! That ghastly sentence aside, tonight’s show should be especially interesting because the in-studio guest is one Phil Hellmuth, Jr. Now I know what you’re thinking–is 30 minutes enough time for Phil to be Phil? But it sounds like Joe Sebok and Scott Huff were able to [...]

Busted with Ac-As?

In the WSOP (World Series of Poker) $10,000 buy in main event this year, we had 6,000 entries, of which 648 made the money.  In order to make the money, you had to make it until late in the day on Day Three.  In order to make the final table or the “November Nine” (the [...]

#927 – Friends in High Places, Part 3 – Enter the Teacher

Howard Lederer punctuated his speech at the DEF seminar by telling a Phil Ivey story. A few years back, Phil won a big tournament at Turning Stone. Howard was part of the broadcast team and it was a unique, live broadcast from the final table. Consequently, Ivey and the broadcast team both had plenty of [...]

Poker2Nite, Tonight!

If you missed the first episode of UB’s new show Poker2Nite then you have another reason to be thankful–you can watch the premiere episode right here. And that should put you in the mood for tonight’s installment, with Joe Sebok, Scott Huff and Dana Workman bringing you the latest news from the poker world. I [...]

#920 – Adrift in Vegas, Part IV (Conclusion) – The Last-Chance WPT Keno Satellite

One of the problems of having so much good material is that it’s difficult to post everything in a timely fashion. For instance, I have some phenomenal posts about Phil Ivey that never made it to the Blog because there was so much else going on at the Main Event Final Table. You’re going to [...]

In the XBLINK of an Eye

Over the last few weeks the big news in the online poker world has revolved around the mysterious played named Isildur1, who appeared out of nowhere to sit at the nosebleed tables and crush many of the game’s superstars. Isildur1 beat Tom “durrr” Dwan out of $3 million before you could even say “durrrr” and [...]
