The World Series of Poker According to Sheldon Adelson

I wonder what Sheldon Adelson would do if — in some alternative universe — he was assigned to cover the World Series of Poker.

Imagine the billionaire casino mogul and crackpot conservative standing out on the tournament floor covering the poker action. How would he report on what’s going on? What would be written?

Is Harry Reid the Worst Senate Majority Leader in History?

Over the past year, I’ve written many times that U.S. Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) might be the worst Majority Leader in recent memory.

I respectfully wish to amend my previous statement.

Sen. Harry Reid is the worst Senate Majority Leader in American history.

Period. Exclamation point. End of discussion.

It’s not even close.

Any Poker Player Who Buys a Lottery Ticket is an Idiot!

In response to all the hype about tomorrow’s $500 million jackpot, I have a comment.

Any poker player who buys a lottery ticket is an idiot.

Are Fish and Sharks Swimming in Different Tanks at PartyPoker?

Imagine walking into a live poker room and signing up for a game.

You get asked, “Are you a beginning player or an experienced player?”

You answer, “I’m an experienced player.”

Based solely on that response, your name is placed onto a segregated list containing just the veteran players. Beginning poker players have their own set of tables and games to choose from. It’s like having adult tables and kiddie tables at a picnic.

If you encountered something like this, would you stick around and still play?

This is apparently really happening. And it’s not taking at some tiny cardroom in the middle of nowhere. Based on recent reports, PartyPoker — once the largest online poker site in the world — may very well be quarantining its players based on levels of experience.
