Poker Magazines

I picked up Dave’s copy of All In magazine and started looking through it. After reading the first 18 pages I had yet to read any poker advice or stategies. I proceded to put the magazine aside and won’t even bother to read the rest. I’ll be sticking to Card Player.

Put The Party In Poker

I sat down at a Hold’em table on Party Poker for the first time today. First thing I noticed was that their lowest limit table is $.50/$1 with .25/.50 blinds. I was a bit suprised they didn’t have any micro limit tables. But what the hell, I deposited the money and have bonus money waiting to be earned, might as well try it out.

I’ve rearranged a few things on the site. The tabbed sidebar has been killed.

The hobbies page will likely be removed soon and the about page needs a major overhaul. Don’t mind the dust over the next week or so. Just a little Fall cleaning. Change is good.

Card Converter is a WordPress plugin with poker bloggers in mind, but it can be used by anyone who would like to display playing cards in posts and comments. It will take card abbreviations such as Ad (meaning Ace of diamonds) and convert it to a CSS graphical-like representation of the card. Inspiration for the plugin came from Chris Halverson‘s Pokerhand plugin and the CSS cards on the World Poker Tour Fan Site.

The plugin has moved to the WordPress Plugin Repository. All development and files will be available there from now on.
