Casino City's Dan Igo, Vin Narayanan and Aaron Todd have finally recovered from their time in Las Vegas covering the World Series of Poker's Main Event. With a week to reflect on what they saw, they present a tag-team effort for the top-10 moments from this year's Main Event, from all four Day 1s to the determination of the November Nine.

Trees came crashing down, many uprooted from the ground, manhole covers sprung up into the streets and dime-sized hail hammered parts of the city Monday night in a sudden and damaging summer storm. In a city budget process that, since 2005, is supposed to look three years out, local officials seem remarkably ill-prepared to ensure core services are protected regardless of gyrating economic circumstances...

My name is Michael Robinson and I work on the poker promotions team for Betfair Poker out in our sunny Malta offices. Following in the footsteps of Richard 'Vegas Veteran' Bloch and Simon 'Vegas Virgin' Zammit, I will be blogging about my exploits in Las Vegas looking after our 65 Betfair qualifiers and bringing you all the news, gossip and updates from Team Betfair at the WSOP 2010.

This is very true, especially for younger people. Texas Hold'em has seen an explosion in its popularity around the world, thanks to poker celebrities like Guus Hansen and Daniel Negreanu touring the Las Vegas poker scene in tournaments like the World Series of Poker, High Stakes Poker and Poker After Dark.

In New Hampshire, for instance, a proposal to legalize video slot machines has been promoted as the best option for balancing the state budget. Yet opponents have so far held off approval, saying that New Hampshire must first establish appropriate gaming rules and a regulatory commission. Maine might be able to learn much from this nearby debate.

Developers and users will now have the ability to run multiple applications at once, and Apple also demonstrated the Skype app running in the background (does that mean the next-gen iPhone will have a forward-facing camera?) as well as streaming audio apps like Pandora and Last.fm. Apple also unveiled folders for the iPhone that makes it easy to organize all your apps into customizable categories.

During the U.S. housing boom, even amateur investors could buy and sell a property within a couple of months and turn a profit. Today there's nothing amateur about house flipping. Homes with punctured walls and missing appliances draw multiple offers from professional investors at auctions in foreclosure-ridden states such as Arizona, California, Florida and Nevada.

Steve and Marie Davis of Tyler decided to spend a romantic Valentine's weekend in the Metroplex this year, a little spur-of-the-moment getaway. On Saturday night they hit Billy Bob's for the Delbert McClinton show, not so much because they were big fans of the Fort Worth blues master as that they had never been to the famed honkytonk.

Omaha. When he's not grinding online, he's competing in the biggest cash games in Las Vegas. Rast sat down with Card Player to discuss a pot-limit Omaha hand he played recently. The GameStakes: $500-$1,000 Game: Pot-limit Omaha Location: Bellagio The Lineup (Stack sizes approximate) Brian Rast Kido Pham - $90,000 - Button Sammy Farha - Unknown - Small blind David Benyamine - $100,000 - Big blind Preflop Action: Rast raises to $3,000 with A J Q 8 .

I don't care about the food. I don't care about the size of the television. I don't care about the booze offered. If you want to have a kick-ass Super Bowl party you need to have one thing kicking: lots and lots of gambling. While the general public still, to a certain extend, frowns upon the idea of legalized gambling and views people like myself as degenerates operating on the fringe of the law, on Super Bowl Sunday its as if every red-blooded, hypocritical American has the green light to get some action down.

Professional poker cheat and casino cheater's thoughts on poker, casinos, gambling and updates from casinos around the world and online gambling websites. Find posts on B&M and online poker cheating. Very interesting stuff, and if I ever do write the sequel to "Dirty Poker," which would of course be called "Dirty Poker 2," I will be asking Devlin for his participation in the chapter on online poker bots.

But could these services soon find themselves in trouble for allowing gambling - and get slapped with large fines or other punishment? The question matters like never before, and the answer's not clear - although from my research, the risk seems relatively low. Some companies, like Zynga Texas Hold 'Em poker.

A mixed metaphor lurks behind the Obama administration's foreign policy. On the one hand, there's Obama's "open hand" approach that rewards the unclenched fist with a handshake. On the other hand there's the other hand, the one that Obama keeps close to his chest. This "hand" is the set of cards that Obama the gambler plays with poker bluff and blackjack daring.

THE two trapped miners were still buried a kilometre under Beaconsfield when the first poison darts hit Bill Shorten. A political blogsite carried a headshot of him with a sneering caption: ''Shorten - ghoulish famewhore?'' Beside it was an item skewering the then Australian Workers Union national secretary for fronting news cameras at the Tasmanian mine where a story that reverberated around the world was unfolding.

WCOOP draws not only top tournament pros and hardcore onliners, but low-stakes satellite winners, part-time players, rookies and high-stakes cash gamers alike. With 45 events, $50 million in prize pools and over 112,000 players participating, WCOOP bracelets are now, more than ever, deserving of being called a "major" poker title, especially given the size and the strength of the fields that materialized this year.

Math is one of the most important aspects of poker. When you think about it, poker is just one big numbers game. It is all about the numbers. Everything from how you decide who wins the hand right down to how much money you win each hand. Along with that, there are very specific odds and probabilities for each hand.

L AS VEGAS - It's back to the buffet, bargains and customer bonuses for Las Vegas casinos. Fast food is up, fine dining tabs are down and hotel rooms are available for less than $50 in a city that has been calling on recession-weary tourists to come back and play the quarter slot machines. Value is the hippest thing on Las Vegas Boulevard this year.

Fifty-seven of the most recognizable faces in poker returned to the Rio to attempt to play all the way down to the final table on Day 2 of Event #23, $10,000 World Championship No-Limit Deuce-to-Seven Draw. They got close to that goal, busting the money bubble late in the evening, but play was finally halted with ten players remaining as the witching hour came and went in the Amazon Room.

I have regained control of my hotmail account. There was 6 guys who answered to the scam proposed by the hacker under my old sn restlys. I have already e-mailed them + e-mail FTP support with these guy's emails and the situation, hopefully nothing happens to them. I want to make something clear to all of you, this is what needed to happen for my hotmail account to be hacked.

The National Heads-Up Poker Championship was in the midst of a six-week run on NBC. I got lucky and beat Mike Sexton when my A-J finished ahead of his pocket queens. Next, I beat amateur qualifier Jeffrey Ishbia. In the Sweet Sixteen, I beat Internet sensation Tom "Durrr" Dwan with a huge bluff to advance to the Elite Eight.

While many in the United States were celebrating the Memorial Day weekend, 63 players took part in the Full Tilt Poker Heads-Up World Championship on Saturday and Sunday. The 63 players involved put up a massive $25,000 buy-in to take part in the tournament, which, as its price tag would suggest, was dotted with professional players and online experts from around the world.

By RON HARRIS - May 6, 2009 ATLANTA (AP) When you're surfing the Web, editing photos, listening to MP3s and tweeting, it's easy to run out of real estate on your computer display. If only you had a little extra screen like a digital kid brother that could show an auxiliary program like a Twitter application.

The confrontation between Joan Rivers and Annie Duke was taken to a new level on this week's episode of NBC's Celebrity Apprentice. Joan's daughter, Melissa Rivers, took the fall as a result of her team's loss, leading the elder Rivers to label all poker players "trash" and call Duke a Nazi in a profanity-laced tirade.

Greg "Fossilman" Raymer was born on July 25th, 1964 in Minot, North Dakota. When Raymer was only a couple of months old, him and his family moved to Lasing, Michigan. At the age of 11, Greg and his family packed their bags once more and moved to St. Louis, where he ended up graduating from high school.

Hey Toby! Hats are for wearing on verrrry coooold days and for avoiding sunburns when you are outside during the day for a long time and for playing some sports. But generally, if you shave that dome to the bone you'll be wantin to go hatless so that ... Hey General! Just go for it. The sooner the better.

This is a place where the WNP crew and anyone else can come to post questions, thoughts, hands, ideas, crap, gossip,beats, brags, results and whatever else about poker and poker related stuff. MB and I just got back from our trek to Palm Desert, a great alternative to Vegas. There are plenty of places to play poker here, the weather is fantastic, the food is great, and for those of you with kids, Palm Desert is way more family friendly than Vegas.

JeffJay Cutler is the starting quarterback of the 2009 Chicago Bears (still fun to write) and one might think there would be an alarming amount of pressure on the self-proclaimed non-savior to make us all forget about Erik Kramer's 3,838 yards in 1995 - the greatest passing season in franchise history.

I read a post this morning by Brian Green talking about casual vs. hardcore games on Facebook. I suppose this could have been a comment on his blog but I felt the urge to respond here. Brian wrote: I had dinner recently with someone that is doing a startup that wants to do smaller-scale games.
