iPhone App Review: Motion X Poker, Texas Hold’em

This past week Apple rolled out the iPhone 2.0 software allowing support for third-party applications. If you already knew this, keep reading. If not, you probably don’t care about today’s post. From here on out, I’m assuming you either have or want an iPhone or iPod Touch. I’ve found a few gems in Apple’s App [...]

Pick of July: Learn Poker From The Joes Podcast

This month I’m going with a podcast to which I have recently started listening. Restarted actually, I gave them a chance early on and lost interest, but I can give a full recommendation now to Learn Poker From The Joes. For starters, a podcast is a show distributed over the internet. In this case it [...]

Hardware Pick of March: KEM Cards

Poker has gotten too mainstream for anyone to get by hosting a regular poker game without a decent set of chips and cards. The first to go is the chips, those plastic disks from Wal-mart just don’t fly anymore. If you are still using them, for god’s sake buy some clay…but I digress. This is [...]

Hardware Pick of February: Sunglasses

Nevertheless, the stress [...]

Interacting with like-minded people makes your passion more fulfilling and legitimate. You don’t have to play solo. There is CardsChat. Before I go on with [...]

Website Pick of December: SharkScope

My pick this month is for the internet poker player who wants to know who he’s up against. The guy (or girl for all you know) across the digital table from you has gone all-in. It is too early in the tournament for you to know if he/she is a good player or just a [...]

Hardware Pick of December: iPod Touch

Poker is not my only interest, I’m a three- or four-dimensional guy after all. I also have an affinity towards technology. So my worlds will collide twice a month as I offer you my hardware pick of the month and my software pick of the month–technology as it can be used for poker. My hardware [...]
