A week ago tomorrow was NPA’s first anniversary. To celebrate, I offered a prize of a signed complete set of four books and my limit DVDs to the best question of the week asked on the message board. I’ll choose the winner tomorrow, so ask your questions today to get in before the deadline. Amazon.com [...]

The downside to this tool is that you have to specify the [...]

NotedPokerAuthority.com is almost one year old! The first post was made on October 16, 2006, so NPA’s birthday is next Tuesday. I wasn’t sure exactly how the site would work out when I started doing Q&As a year ago, but today I have to say that it’s been a success well beyond what I expected. [...]

I’m adding some poker tools to NPA. The first one, a simple equity calculator, is ready to use. It’s presently fairly bare-bones, but I plan to add more features to it in the future. I have some other tools in mind, but if you have any you’d like to see, let me know in the [...]
