UPDATE: Ok, this round is closed. I’ve sent out invites to everyone who commented. If you can’t find your invite, check your spam filter. If you still can’t find your invite, let me know on the message board. Someone alerted me in the forums today that Joost started giving unlimited invites, and what do you [...]

It’s Wednesday and the Joost Contest is over. I decided to take all the entrants and pit them against one another in a simulated winner-take-all no-limit hold’em tournament to determine a winner. And the winner is… Lorenz Congrats Lorenz. Enjoy Joost with your brothers. And thanks to all who entered. (Note: In lieu of simulated [...]

Last week I begged encouraged people to vote for NPA in the Best Hobby Blog category of the Bloggers Choice Awards. Thanks to your votes, NPA made it to the top of the third page, but stalled there. Let’s go for another push to get NPA onto the first page! As of now, NPA needs [...]

Questions Thread #14 will be our last. I installed some message board software today, so we now have an NPA message board. You can reach it via the Message Board link in the Main Menu (which I plan on changing into a menu bar at the top one of these days). If you have a [...]

I’m planning some improvements and tweaks around here. First, I’m looking into adding a discussion area to replace the questions threads. It’s great that people are having discussions in the Questions Threads, but now that things have gotten livelier in there, it can get a little confusing with multiple topics in the same thread. So [...]

I’m launching a new feature today, a Poker Coach Directory. People ask me all the time if I coach, and when I tell them I don’t, they ask me to recommend someone. I know a few good coaches, but the guys I know aren’t appropriate for everyone, so I don’t always have a good recommendation [...]

As many of you know, I’m working on a book with no-limit experts Matt Flynn and Sunny Mehta called Professional No Limit Hold ‘em.
