Interview with...
2007-04-07 20:16:00
Ok folk , another archive from The House of Poker Blues...Today we have with us Gary Spitzer who's a 4th generation Texas gambler living, winning and losing in Sin City. His grandfather won over $52,000 dollars shooting dice and playing poker on the ship home from France after WWII and his Dad was a professional gambler and drag boat racer for decades in Texas and the Southwest. Gambling and thrill seeking is a family tradition when it comes to the Spitzer clan .1. How and when did you get your start playing professional poker?My Grandmother taught me to play poker at age 6. I entered my first WSOP in 2001. This was when I came to the realization that my game was good enough to play at a professional level. 2. Hold'em is the favorite these days in the poker world; both online and live. I grew up playing 7-stud and 5 card draw and still have a fondness for draw poker. What did you start off playing and what do you prefer to play ?Five card draw was my first introduction to poker. I...

2007-04-04 10:24:00
Ahhh look it here, you are back! I am so happy to see you cause I do not always have a lot of company.Well you know that if you want anything just run to the kitchen and help yourself. In the mean time I will pick up where we left off about mother.All the women in that old factory were both angry and fed up with the "accidents" that were costing far too many their limbs and some even their lives. It was mother who finally had the courage, born of outrage and absolute sense of right and wrong, to start, what would become a formidable movement, to set things right.The movement began very slow at first. Mother quietly passed the message around for the women to come to her home after work. That first night many of the women showed up but, when they heard what she had to say, you would have thought her words had been the magic that turned them into ghosts because their faces lost every ounce of colour.Mother started off quietly by telling them she was not prepared to see any one else hur...

In Praise of a Woman Part 2 Well hello again; I have to admit it does get lonely for an old lady to just sit here day in and day out, so I am just tickled that ya decided to come back.Ya know before I continue telling you about mother, I sometimes think that many don't come see me no more cause I don't look so "pretty". I have ta tell ya though there was a time when I was considered a very beautiful woman. I will have ta try and remember to go through my pictures tonight and I will show ya on your next visit. 'Sides I was raised that it was not what is on the outside that makes ya pretty, but it seems today many do not think that way.Okay; now where did I leave off yesterday? Oh yes; mother had just found out her pay envelope was going to have less in it cause they all could not do there work plus what was left when a co-worker cut her finger off.Well in the months that followed, there were more and more accidents.

Welcome to My Wonder ful Part of the World !!Partridge Island sits at the mouth of the Saint John River. This little piece of realty contains a fascinating history dating back to the mid 1700's. It was to play an integral part in the European immigration to the New World as well being a major defense post for the eastern part of Canada.Partridge Island was the quarantine station for North America. When boat loads of people travelled to the New World they had to be examined before they could leave the boat or carry on their travel. Any who were sick, along with those who had come into close proximity of the sick, were taken to Partridge Island. They were showered with kerosene and then given a hot bath while all their clothes were steamed cleaned. They had to remain on the island until they were well or until they died. The most tragic episode occurred among the Irish immigrants who were fleeing the great famine. Dr. George Harding wrote of quarantining 2500 immigrants in just one da...

About MommaWell I did say yesterday that I would come back and tell you about Momma.Momma is an older in body but at times juvenial in mind lady with a sense of humour that at times can be seriously weird but totally harmless.She was given the title Momma in the forum at Poker.com I guess because she quickly jumps in when the conversations look like they were taking a nasty turn but she is even quicker to serve up love, praise, support and hugs where ever merited or needed. I think that she has earned her title and I happen to know she loves and is proud of her title.She could barely hurt a fly let alone a fellow player, though of late she has been heard screaming her most dreaded word "DONKEY" at her monitor and *SHUDDER* she has even said it at the table! But what is a gal to do when her allin call with trip aces is matched by buddy with 3 8 soooooooooted and the last thing she hears is "LOL IDIOT" from buddy as he hits a flush!?Ahh but within a second or so Momma is chuckling aga...

Finding a fool leads to gold

Finding a fool leads to goldIf you want to make money playing poker, find a game with a few suckers, fish, donkeys, live ones, or whatever you choose to call a bad player.Just don't let that sucker be you.If you're the sixth-best poker player in the world, but routinely play against the best five, you'd still be the fish at the table, despite the fact that you're an excellent player.When you visit Las Vegas, or California -- the poker capital of the world -- you'll have a wide variety of games to choose from. At a spot like the Commerce Casino in Los Angeles, you'll find a sea of tables with all sorts of betting limits, varieties of poker, and most importantly, players with a wide range of skill levels.Here's how to identify the weakest opponents in the room:Head for the low-limit gamesFor a solid player, low-limit games can often be frustrating to play, but that's where your edge is the greatest. With lots of novice players learning the game, calling too many bets, and maki...

Poker Players Move for Summary Judgment Against The World Poker Tour
2007-03-14 23:24:00
Poker Play ers Move for Summary Judgment Against The World Poker Tour Today, seven of the world's leading professional poker players filed a motion for summary judgment against WPT Enterprises, Inc. ("WPTE") in federal district court in Los Angeles. In their motion for summary judgment, Plaintiffs Chris Ferguson, Andrew Bloch, Annie Duke, Phil Gordon, Joseph Hachem, Howard Lederer, and Greg Raymer have presented undisputed facts which establish that WPTE, which owns the World Poker Tour ("WPT"), has committed multiple violations of federal antitrust laws. Specifically, the Plaintiffs seek a summary declaration by the Court that WPTE and the casinos which host WPT events have unlawfully conspired to force poker players to sign non-negotiable "releases" that require those players to grant WPTE the right to use their valuable names, likenesses, voices and images for zero compensation so that WPTE can exploit these rights to promote its own products and services.

2007-03-11 23:44:00
WHEN IT COMES TO PAIN !From a very early age I have suffered from joint and bone pain in one form or another. Sadly I was also raised in an era when the philosophy that "hard works hurts" OR "no pain no gain" in the exercise arena was the standard.I worked in only physically demanding jobs that involved carrying heavy weighted items because as a rule they were the better paying jobs. When I would come home so sore I could hardly move I thought of the job as being good for my muscles. Never did I ever give thought to the fact that I may be doing damage to my skeleton.At the age of 34 I had my first surgery that should have been a wake up call. In two successive operations I finally got relief from the pain of carpal tunnel syndrome as well as tennis elbow. Not quite two years later I was back in to have three vertebrae in my neck repaired.Six years later I began the best job I had ever had; taking care of the elderly. Though I loved my job and my old people more than almost anything,...

Bill Introduced to Legalize Poker in Texas
2007-03-11 18:03:00
You could soon be able to play poker for real money in Texas bars. State Rep. Jose Menendez from San Antonio has introduced a bill that would regulate poker here. If passed, up to four poker tables would be allowed in certain bars or establishments.?This legislation could raise over a billion dollars over the next biennium for state coffers while bringing the game out of legal limbo and into the light,? said Mike Lavigne, treasurer of the Texas Poker PAC. ?Texas would finally be able to benefit from rise of Texas Hold?em?Charity poker tournaments would also be legal. Supporters say it would raise moneys for state programs.?Charitable poker means more Texans win,? said Lavigne. ?Texas charities are losing out on millions of dollars due to the antiquated laws governing the game.?Despite recent federal attempts to eliminate online poker, the game continues to grow in popularity worldwide. As poker related television programming continues to spread in popularity, so do the many new tour...

They sit there and the only button that they seem to be able to see is ALLIN. So you keep folding while they sit and steal chips from everyone inching their chip total up by the nickle and dime method. Finally you get good pockets and call them; you have the rockets and they have 3 6 soooooted and yeppers the next thing you know you are packing your bags because they flushed you right out the back door!Now the above are maddening to have at your table but the worse and most despicable are the ignorant garbage talk people.(I just cannot bring myself to use the term "player" when I speak of this group- in fact people is a more than generous term for them) Their game strategy is to spew abso...

The Bad Back!!
2007-03-07 15:40:02
I have had a back problem for many years now. At first it wasnt too bad. Just every now and then. When I went to the doctors, after 3 months, he said its due to having children,[ it all started after my second], and would most likely sort it self out. So I carried on but 3 months later it was not any better. So another trip to the doctors. He said if its still painful after 3 months come back. So another 3 months later, yes back to the docs. The doctor I usually see was not there, I saw a locum. He was a bit more helpful, and put me on some mild painkillers.This went on for another 2 years. Going back and forth to doctors, it was getting so frequent the staff answering the phones know my voice. Final a new doctor started and I was luckly to see him. He was amazed that the problem wasnt investigated. Thats when the really fun started.First blood tests then x-rays then more blood tests and even more x-rays.Then after 7 years of tests and seeing several different specialist, it turned ...

Hold'em Omaha high-low Razz (Seven card stud low) Stud (Seven card stud high) Eight-or-better (Seven card stud high-low) The background of HORSEPlaying HORSEHORSE is played as one "round" of each of its component games. It begins with limit hold'em, then limit Omaha high-low, razz (seven card stud low), seven card stud, and finally seven card stud high-low. When the seven-card stud high-low round is complete, the game goes back to limit hold'em, and so on. You can tell which game is being dealt by looking at the top border of the table window.When switching from Omaha high-low to Razz, the button is frozen. That way, when the game switches back to hold'em (after seven card stud high-low), nobody skips blinds or pays extra blinds.All the component games in HORSE areplayed fixed limit - there are no pot-limit or no-limit games. The limits (such as $5-10) are kept throughout the game rotation, and you play $5-10 fixed limit hold'em, $5-10 fixed limit Omaha high-low, etc.SummaryHOR...

A touch of deception can help your game
2007-02-25 21:37:01
The key to becoming a winning poker player is to learn the fundamentals that will make your game consistently strong. Once you do that, and become a winning player in smaller games, you'll need to add some deception to your game in order to compete at higher levels.A straightforward ABC strategy works against average players.
