This has been, no hyperbole, one of the worst weeks in totality in my life. We begin with atrociously cold temperatures that kicked us down below -40F with the windchill all week long. Unceasing and never letting up, making driving a nightmare for even the daily commute. Then in the span of 2...

Forever to be Iago to me when I was a kid. Forever to have the dirtiest joke of all time:

https://www.pokernews.com/news/2021/10/dan-bilzerian-alex-gores-poker-100-million-match-40041.htm This would be one for the ages, although if it did get on PPV, it would dampen the drama I feel if the two players made off like bandits from the revenue. Either way, I think us at PCF would all...

I got a message this morning on LinkedIn from another office located very far away from where I currently live. (4+ hours highway drive) They're offering me a position, sight unseen, and offered a salary that is a bit more (10 - 15%) than what I currently make. I have absolutely no intention...

I have no words:

These are the days Canadians are baptised in the cold!

Planning a family weekend getaway in July, just curious what poker rooms are hits and misses out in Edmonton. We'll be staying at the hotel across the street from the West Ed Mall and I see there's a poker room there to play in. Any recommendations will be appreciated!

A few months back I decided to head to our local casino (a rarity for me!) to play in the Sunday night $3/$6 Omaha Hi/Lo game. I get a seat and I'm the youngest player at the table by at least 20 - 30 years. The table always plays incredibly passive. If there's a raise on any street, it's...

Hey guys, you ever see something happen at a poker room? I've been playing poker at places for years and I've seen lots of things! One time this thing happened that was amazing only to me because only I can appreciate it on account of none of you were there to see it! But man was it ever...

Great story in our neck of the woods: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/dave-assman-sgi-vanity-licence-plate-1.5017377

You could start with vlog #1 to get some origin story stuff about the creator, but this is by far the funniest one I've watched so far:

It's not so easy finding time to play poker while providing for the family on a single income. Family time, social events, and other pursuits amd interests all demand time. But I do find time here and there to sling some chips around. Maybe someday I'll be at the level of @Rhodeman77 but for...

Merry Christmas to you and your families from ours!

The game in question started without me, a .25/.50 NL game that just started out as Hold'Em. When I arrived, the most aggressive player at the table by far had a monstrous chip stack, around $350 on a $100 buy-in. And this was only running about 45 minutes prior! The only seats available were...

Final table of our league freeroll. We are 6 handed, Hero has a stack of 45,000 with the blinds at 600 / 1200 and is in the big blind. Small blind is the chip leader sitting on a stack of around 65,000. Small blind has been raising a bit more often since we got to 6 handed play, trying to...

Are you able to smack someone and tell them they're an idiot in this day and age? Can't help but wonder if that's what the world needs sometimes when this type of thing is even being considered by a court of law. https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/08/europe/dutch-man-legal-age-scli-intl/index.html

Curious what some of the great minds of mixed games (@abby99 @BGinGA @detroitdad come to mind) think of this. I personally think it's just a way to destroy any edge a player has skill wise so Pokerstars can get that sweet, sweet, rake from uneducated micro players. From...

Incoming venting! "Everyone gets the same distribution of cards in the long run!" or "The next session will be better!" I've been telling myself quite often lately on drives home from a game. I'm still in the green this year, thanks to mixed games we occasionally play at my buddy's house, but...

https://www.pokernews.com/news/2018/02/american-poker-awards-results-30074.htm?pn=7206&itm_content=pn-hp-hero-1 Couldn't have happened to a better guy. His vlogs are top notch, from picturesque drone shots, to the sights and sounds of the venues he plays at, and of course to the actual poker...
