So last night, one of my players tossed a pen across the table, and as it skidded it left a 2-inch long black ink mark on the felt. I did a quick blot with water but it had no effect. Anyone suggestions on how I could get ballpoint pen ink out of speedcloth felt?

I feel like I'm watching a feed from Truman's House, with a hand between @guinness and @jbutler.

Doing a guys weekend in Montreal with some of my old poker crew from Boston (non CT/PCF group, though some of the MA/NH crew has met them) in mid-December. Other than a Canadiens game (which is on the agenda) any other advice for 4-6 guys in their late 30s/early 40s that won't end in...

Okay, this isn't a poker question or a strategy question, but I'm asking it here nonetheless. My 5-year-old twins are obsessed with a card game called "Chomp" ... essentially it's war, but the deck has cards with pictures of things that live in the ocean and the bigger the fish wins. Because...

Two years ago I ran a prop bet challenge, and as one of my last duties with Casino City, I've created another one for this year. Forgive me, I don't know exactly what the prizes will be yet. Essentially I'm going to clean out my office and just pick a few things that I don't need or want...

Thought we could use a repository for great SNL skits, old and new. This is one of the best I've seen in recent memory.

I'd love a set of these ... gotta get my hands on a barrel of coasters.

I read about this guy a month or two ago, and he just got arrested. But Nolan Dalla's blog post just had me go down the Internet rabbit hole to find a craps forum thread the he got involved with. The whole thing is pretty incredible and worth 5-10 minutes of your time...

Normally I'd create a poll with the forum software, but I may want to delete this later (long story). Anyway, I've got $97.29 on Bodog and the group here is going to decide what to do with it. Vote here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1hNGtZjwxTAnEr_5vsm365bBFH0Qridkro01SfG7Ck5A/viewform I...

How cool is this? The WSOP releases a new event - a team event - for the 2016 schedule. http://www.wsop.com/pdfs/structuresheets/structure_1232_14961.pdf I think this would be a blast to play with 2-3 friends from a home game, though I'm sure that there will be some pros that will put together...

So I write an annual column picking 10 prop bets for the Super Bowl. This time I figured I'd make it a little more fun and get some other people in on the action. I've selected 40 prop bets, all listed with the odds given by William Hill. Most of these are either/or props, so it shouldn't take...

Boy did Jason Chaffetz get slapped around today at his committee's hearing on Restoring America's Wire Act (also known as ban all regulated online gambling in the U.S.). The witnesses he brought in were either completely misinformed or willfully obtuse ... and I'm not sure which is worse. Read...

So my wife and I have been watching Jeopardy a lot lately. It helped that Matt Jackson was perhaps the most dominant (and awkward) contestant they've had in a long time (http://gawker.com/the-reigning-jeopardy-king-is-a-comedic-genius-1735328525), and that includes former poker pro Alex Jacob...

One of the parts of my job is to monitor a forum we run, and someone on that forum posted a poll about hybrid cars/EVs in response to the climate talks in Paris, and I'm curious what folks here drive and think about hybrids/EVs. Do you own an electric vehicle or a hybrid car? If so, what was...

If there are 10 of you out there, I'd happily be your referrer and claim the $500/head "refer-a-friend" offer that PokerStars is offering. Assuming that there aren't 10 of you (payments can only be made to players who enter the PCA), if there are two or more people who are interested in doing...

Trailer isn't that promising. Of course maybe I'm basing that completely on the choice of chips they're using for a $250k buy-in game.

Playing PCF weekly PLO tourney, down to six of eight players, top two pay. Still very early, sitting in third with 25k on 20k starting stack, blinds at 60-120. UTG +1 raises to 360, folded to Hero on the button, who holds KKJ6 (no suits). Hero makes it 600 (min raise). SB makes it 2,280 to go...

As noted in this thread, I've played in the WRGPT, an e-mail poker tournament for the last 3-4 years. The tournament requires very little time or effort, and actually gets pretty competitive once things settle down after a couple of weeks. Last year was my best performance by far, as I finished...

The articles I post online are regularly copied and stolen, which is incredibly annoying, but whatever, it's the Internet. When I came across this gem, all I could do was lol. (I didn't write the original, but recognized the theft as I'd read the original earlier in the week.) I'm pretty sure...

First the online wizards killed online poker (okay, the DOJ did that, but the wizards played a big part in making the games unsustainable), and now they're killing daily fantasy sports just as they look like they might boom. Check out the standings in this $3 tournament...
