Newly formed World Amateur Poker League

2007-10-11T21:23:34Z

Got a new one to check out. Wrenegadepoker.com. It's a new website (looks like it's still in BETA). You can find, schedule or organize and host games by city, state, zip code or game style. Pretty cool. Meet, find, locate, organize, host or join games. Totally spam free. Hacker safe. Kind of like Meetup combined with Myspace + Outlook. Personalized calendars. Looks like a cool way to find action. Found two current promotions "2007 Team of the Year" and "2007 College Player of the Year." No online play, but links to home, public, private and casino games. There's even free membership access. Got a press release about a future project -- more tournaments and cash prizes sponsored by the affiliated World Amateur Poker League - 1st event over $1,000,000 at stake – all final tourney action at casinos – invitation only - no online play!

Been watching the site. Looks like lots of people from pretty much all over the US have found it and seem to be diggin’ it. Not too hard to find people or games.

Euker question...

2007-06-22T21:43:19Z

Maybe someone can help me out...
In Euker, when you decide to 'go alone' does your partner get to give you his/her best card from their hand?? I've never played that way, but some people were telling me that's a rule. Thanks!

"19" - a cribbage variant?

2007-05-27T23:26:34Z

We recently had a customer tell us about a version of Cribbage that we had not heard about before. It was called "19." Normally it is not possible to score 19 under the rules of cribbage, but in this version a "nothing hand" that scores no points for any of the normal point earning combinations in Cribbage is worth actually 19 points instead of zero. So if you have a bad hand, one of the strategies is to discard any potentially good cards that you have in hopes of scoring a 19.

SF: Spades Players Wanted

2006-02-02T07:56:40Z

It continually drives me crazy. I love playing spades, but finding three others players who all want to get in on a game is near impossible.

So....Spades anyone? I was thinking once every other week having a game of spades.

Estimation Hearts - review

2005-08-05T04:19:32Z

Hi,

I went on that card game website (http://www.pagat.com) and picked a random game invented or sent it by players. It was Estimation Hearts:

http://www.pagat.com/invented/estimation_hearts.html

Wow, what a fun, but hard game. It is like Oh Hell + Hearts scoring. You have to say how many bids you will take, but additionally get penalized for taking hearts... unless you shoot the moon.

HERES SOME HUMOR FOR YOU ALL

POKER BOBBLE HEADS AND THE FUTURE OF POKER BY GARY J. STONE

I would consider myself to be a very true poker loyalist. But recently I was sent a link to view a new line of poker bobble heads. It was very cute but after it set in. It very much disturbed me. I will further explain. With the increase of the popularity of poker we will see more and more poker related items hit the market. I see this coming next.

POKER ACTION FIGURES

These could be very fun and entertaining but I see problems. I will further explain. Ok, for example lets say a parent buys this action figure for they're daughter or son. We will say Chris 'Jesus" Ferguson. We all know he is a great poker player but I see a mommy that might have had her heart broke or lost her virginity in high school with the neighborhood stoner and try to give him a haircut out of spite. Even worse at Christmas time he would multipurpose in the nativity scene if needed. He would have one special feature though. If you pull his arm back he could throw a plastic playing card and cut into a straw. That's great but children miss use common sense and I see a kid tearing up his sister's toys that would lead to a good ole ass beating.

Then they're would be Daniel Negreanus. His would be a small action figure so it looks like he would be picked on. He would never live up to THE HULK, or THE ROCK. So the problem would be keeping him in one piece. He would be beat up like a school drug nark. He would have an order form for replacement parts cause it would be very much needed.

Then I would like to mention Gus Hanson. You say 'Gary, how in the world would they're be a problem with Gus?" Well, I am here to tell you. Just look at him. He is very bald. Any smart-ass kid with a blue sharpie would make him a member of the BLUE MAN GROUP and I really don't feel Gus has any rhythm.

Then there are the ones that don't sell. They go straight to the .99-cent box or to your neighborhood Big Lots. One person who would lead that race would be Mike 'The Mouth" Matusow. Kids don't want to play with him. Hell, adults don't want to play with him. I do hear they will have a mute feature for the second run. I wish them luck.

Ok, then we would have the Johnny Chan action figure. See he's oriental and as an action figure he might not know that he's a poker player and not a martial artist. So the WWE stars and Japanese anime figures might taunt and tease him and put him on tilt. Now if he could meet up with a Matt Damon action figure he might be able to even the score from the movie Rounders.

Now I wouldn't want to forget the ladies of poker. Lets take Clonie Gowen. She is the most beautiful thing in poker right now. Do you think a 12 yr old bored boy will respect her? I doubt it very much. He will go into his sister's room and take her and lets say the Barbie Ken. Then he will be doing foul things like this. 'Oh Clonie, you like a guy that goes ALL IN…you Skank" or 'You like a guy that has the nuts, well I got a lovely set of coconuts for you bimbo broad". Then there is Annie Duke. We all love Annie, who doesn't? . I see this happening at some trailer park in America. We have this girl that has watched her two parents fight like monkeys throwing feces each other all her life. This little girl will not give Annie the respect she deserves. She will have a tea party and it will go like this. It will be all fine till GI JOE tells Annie to quit playing poker and go do the dishes. Annie being the strong woman will decline and say no. Then the shit hits the fan. GI JOE puts Annie in a kung fu grip and leads her to the plastic pink sink as he downs his last Budwieser from the BOB AND DOUG McKENZIE collection. Annie deserves much better than that people.

Then I hate to say but our guy Phil Ivey that we all admire so much could get with the wrong action figure crowd. If he is subjected to bad action figures it could hurt his poker skills. I love Snoop Dogg but he's no good for Phil as an action figure friend. One toke of Snoops 'Nashizzle Nitro Bong" and he wouldn't be able to play. He would be over at the Raymer table asking Greg if he had any Little Smokies or Bon Bons left. Just say no Phil.

Now I get to my favorite player, Phil Hellmuth Jr. He wouldn't stand a chance. He would have his head ripped off by parents daily. Not just because of Phil poker brat's reputation. It's also because of its features. It would have the 'Instafit" feature. The problem with this feature is…. it never turns off. You hit that button and you're your up all night unless it wins and lowers your self-esteem. We as consumers would not be impressed.

I hope you understand my concern. What's next you ask? Who knows and who cares I say. As long as I don't see a Chris Moneymaker 'Beer Gut" workout tape on the Home Shopping Network or the Sam Farha ' IF YOU NEVER LIGHT IT-YOU WILL NEVER GET HOOKED QUIT SMOKING PLAN" on QVC. I think we will all be fine. My calendar is marked and waiting for this though. It's the Marcel Luske 'Sing-A-Long with the 70s on K-TEL records. Be well and watch those all inn's. .

Just played spades on Pogo. Played 4 games and got my but kicked. Its hard to find a partner to connect with. The last partner kept stepping all over me, and the first three kept going nil and taking books. Very frustating it was. Oh well there are other games and Partners.
