Liz Lieu playing in Day 1a of the PokerStars APPT Season 2 Macau Main Event
While the rest of the world has been shocked by the stock market crash, I've been in some of the juiciest cash games I've seen in a long time.
The $400-$800 game has been spread lately at the Commerce, and a new Jamaican guy has turned it into an action party. I'd played a good game after shooting bullets at... Read More

Lacey Jones lingerie shoot sneak preview
Hey everyone! Well, I'm back in Las Vegas and off to a running start. Getting in from Philadelphia on a Sunday I went straight to the gym, then an appointment with Terry (my suntan guru), and finally crashed on top of the bed with my clothes and shoes on!
I must have been so tired because when my phone rang at 9 p.m. I had drool all over... Read More

Liz Lieu, L.A. Poker Classic - Day 1
While most of the pros are either in Korea or London, I don't mind telling you I'm happy just to be back home in L.A.
I'm off the road for a while I hope, and it's great to spend time with my mother and family. She can't travel anymore, and every day I spend with her is special. Cherish the time with your parents, believe me.
When I say... Read More

A Very Thirsty John Phan
Unless it's for an amount of money totally meaningless to you, or you can really handle your booze, playing drunken poker is never a good idea.
The only firsthand experience I have with playing poker drunk comes from home games, or Vegas... Read More

Steve Wong, WPT World Championship - Day 3, WPT Season 6
In the next few months there aren't a lot of tournaments left for me. Just two actually: the event that stole my heart the minute I set foot in Vegas, Festa al Lago, and the Five Diamond - both at Bellagio.
Festa al Lago (Italian for Party at the Lake) will be held Oct. 1-25 - check the Bellagio Web site for the complete schedule.
In Season 5 of... Read More

Liz Lieu playing in Day 1a of the PokerStars APPT Season 2 Macau Main Event
Back in L.A. after two months in Vietnam, Macau and Thailand. I'm a little jet-lagged, but it was great to see LAX and great to wait for all my luggage!
I stayed around Macau to play in the APPT High Rollers event. I actually feel like I played well in Macau, but I just couldn't make... Read More

Thoughts from the Felt: Over the Top

Las Vegas Strip
Poker players spend most of their time trying to gain and keep control of everything around them: hands, tables, odds, players, rolls and most importantly, themselves.
But the degree of control you possess as a player is rarely rock solid. It's balanced precariously over a pit of degeneration. The truth is, for many, a spew of tilt-induced... Read More

Matthew Stout playing in Day 3 of the WPT Season 7 Legends of Poker
I went into the World Poker Tour Legends of Poker main event at the Bicycle Casino feeling pretty good, despite my recent struggles with the game.
I had finally uncorked everything I had bottled up while going deep in major events and having a series of near-misses. I shared my true feelings with... Read More

Lacey Jones at the Borgata
Here we go again ... I'm back!!! This time in full effect. I apologize for leaving everyone hanging, but I really needed to close down and focus on my goals in life.
As you all know, I've had to go through a very difficult time and I'm finally able to say it's all in the past. Like I say to my friends ... I feel like I'm in the shallow end of the... Read More

Sorel Mizzi
Back on the circuit!
After a long (2 month) break from intense poker following the WSOP, I am finally ready to start traveling the circuit again and playing in enough tournaments in enough different countries to keep me living out of hotels until at least February.
Until further notice, this is what my tournament schedule is looking like right... Read More

Liz Lieu playing in Day 1a of the PokerStars APPT Macau Season 2 Main Event
I have a riddle for you. What do you get when you mix no cards, no cash games and a bad Internet connection in Macau?
One very unhappy camper!
I made back-to-back final tables at the APPT last year, and I had high hopes coming into the Macau tournaments this... Read More

Steve Wong playing in Day 2B of the 2008 WSOP Main Event
Hey to all. Fully automated poker tables are a new trend I'd like to talk about. A company called PokerTek constructs the tables, which I mentioned in one of my previous blogs.
I once played them in Macau. Now PokerTek applied for a license in Nevada and were granted permission... Read More

Liz Lieu playing in Day 2B of the 2008 WSOP Main Event
From my homeland of Vietnam I hopped a flight to Bangkok, then boarded an Air Macau jet to land here, the Asian center of the gambling world. For two weeks, poker will rule Macau.
It was difficult for me to leave Vietnam, but the Asian Poker Tour team made me feel welcome as soon as I landed. When I arrived, I met with their CEO, Chris Parker... Read More

The final table of the 2008 Wynn Classic
I think fast, talk fast, drive fast, eat fast and play fast. Regardless of whether I'm playing live or online, I make decisions quickly; only once has anyone called the clock on me.
In the province I live in, the lottery corporation still has a stranglehold on poker. The same people in charge of scratch-and-win and the lottery are the people who... Read More
