PokerAce-Josh has one. I couldn't find much mention of poker anywhere on the first page, though. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I'm not a tournament fan, but I liked ZJ's blog the one time I glanced over it.

I also like DN's.

Also, Linda (http://www.pokerworks.com/deardiary/2004/pokerworkscom.tabletango.1.04.htm)'s a dealer at the Bellagio. You can tune-in and see what she's pissed about this week.

Guinness and Poker is the bedrock of the poker blogging "community." From there, the best sites (presently) are the Tao of Poker (http://taopoker.blogspot.com), AlCan'tHang (http://alcanthang.blogspot.com), Up For Poker (http://www.upforanything.net/poker), as well as Matt Matros' site. The archives of The Cards Speak (http://cardsspeak.servebeer.com) are full of great posts (even though the author seldom posts anymore), and I'd be derelict if I didn't pimp my own: A Fool and His Money (http://foolandhismoney.blogspot.com).

Yeah, Tao is my favorite.

Iggy's blog (Guinness and Poker) is a joke in my book. All he does is copy and paste crap that I've already read and then whore out his Party Poker bonus code.

I'm going to throw out my blog (http://redrooski24.blogspot.com/), since I just started it up a few days ago and my 5 or so readers right now seem to like it so far. And yes, I'm whoring my own blog. That is all.

My blog sucks because I haven't been doing much with it.

I'll have a new blog semi-soon though which I think will be better (and hopefully interesting at least for some).


I really should read zeejustin's blog though.


Lots of people seem to like Barry Greenstein's and Paul Phillips' blog/websites.

Give you several:

Ramblings of a Mad Man (A.K.A Online Poker Thoughts) (http://sirfwalgman.blogspot.com/)

"Sir Waffle" is a train wreck. Entertaining Blog about his low limit bad luck, and his depressing, at times, life.

curtainspoker (http://www.livejournal.com/users/curtainspoker/)

2+2's very own Curtains. Plays the 215's on Party and keeps updates on his blog.

doubleas (http://doubleas.blogspot.com/)

No Limit player, mid to higher stakes, Some great strategy on this one. Hasn't been posting as much, he seems to always be at the big Poker tourneys that he wins via online..lol

law school dropout's poker blog (http://zbasic.com/pokerblog.html)

Maybe the best limit poker player around? No strategy on his blog, but his winnings are amazing.

Sound of a Suckout (http://suckout.blogspot.com/)

Mid limit player with some pretty decent strategy. Always good stuff on this one.

Twenty-One Outs Twice (http://twentyoneoutstwice.blogspot.com/)

Poker Pro Chris Fargis. Just won a WSOP Triple draw bracelet down in Tunica?

Missives from a Degenerate Underachiever (http://pokernerd.blogspot.com/)

Plays a lot of STT on Poker Stars. Good strategy on STT's and pretty funny stuff about his life. His postings have been decreasing a bit.

Hi Predator:

We soon expect to have the ability to host blogs right here at www.twoplustwo.com. (http://www.twoplustwo.com.) We'll officially announce this in the not too distant future.

Yeah, Guinness and Poker is the only blog I've ever liked enough to check every day. Have done for a year or two now... He posts a lot less now that he actually plays for a living, but it's still good stuff.

Predator314

Here are the ones that I read on a daily basis:

A Chick and a Chair (http://joanne1111.blogspot.com/) - Joanne...she's an excellent tournament player. Posts infrequently, but a decent blog.

Bad Blood Plays Poker (http://badbloodonpoker.blogspot.com/) - Low stakes NL player. He gives a lot of insight to his game.

The Cards Speak (http://cardsspeak.servebeer.com/) - Hardly posts since he went to work for Full Tilt Poker. Excellent blog though

DoubleAs (http://doubleas.blogspot.com/) - In my opinion, one of the best mid stakes No Limit players around.

Felicia Lee (http://felicialee.blogspot.com/) - Most 2+2'ers know her.

Poker and Other Random Thoughts (http://bobspokerblog.blogspot.com/) - MicroBob's blog. Doesn't post as much as he used to. Good blog there.

The Poker Chronicles (http://www.thepokerchronicles.com/) - Matt Maroon's blog. Excellent limit player and hater of 2+2 /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Poker Grub (http://pokergrub.com/index.html) - I'm not sure how this guy gets by in life. No job and all he does is play low limit poker, slots, and blackjack in Vegas. Entertaining blog though.

Ramblings of a Mad Man (Online Poker Thoughts) (http://sirfwalgman.blogspot.com/) - I used to play with this guy a lot. He can play when he wants to, although he's pretty weak/tight. We were kind of in a race to see who could build our bankroll the quickest last winter. Then he went on some sort of tilt and started playing $30/60 and lost it all. Evidently he has issues with doing this. Now I think he's working with a $40 bankroll, but it's still entertaining to read his ramblings in his blog.

Riding the F-Train (http://ftrain.blogspot.com/) - NY poker player. Decent blog.

Table Tango (http://table-tango.pokerworks.com/) - Linda, a dealer at the Bellagio. Has some good stories from the Bellagio.

Tao of Poker (http://taopoker.blogspot.com/) - Dr. Pauly's blog. He's a great writer. This is my favorite blog. He goes around and covers big tournaments. He also posts live blogging updates as the tournaments progress.

Twenty one outs Twice (http://twentyoneoutstwice.blogspot.com/) - Chris Fargis' blog. Another excellent poker pro.

Up for Poker (http://www.upforanything.net/poker/) - Otis , G-Rob, and CJ are great writers. Otis works for Pokerstars as a professional blogger I guess. Good articles on this blog.

I also have my own personal blog. If don't want to spam it here on the boards. So if you want to see mine, you can just PM me.

For a major success story, I highly recommend reading http://zbasic.com/pokerblog.html from start to finish. It is an enormous inspiration to my play, and it is NOT just a collection of hands & beats like so many blogs.

Haven't seen these good ones mentioned:

Maudie over at Poker Perspectives (http://www.kebzweb.com/)

Mean Gene (http://meangenepoker.blogspot.com/) does a great job.

I just added Human Head Thinks Big (http://humanhead.blogspot.com/) to my blogroll because I enjoy his stuff.

My complete blogroll can be found at Go Be Rude (http://goberude.blogspot.com/)

I only list the blogs that I actually read, not a complete list of every blog that I have heard of.

Here are some good ones that I haven't seen mentioned yet:

http://www.billrini.com/

When Bill is funny, he's very very funny.

http://nickleanddimes.blogspot.com/

One of the better bloggers among us who play low-to-mid limits online.

http://headsupclub.com/aprock/

Mostly about the higher-stakes limit holdem games online.

http://terrencechan.livejournal.com/

He used to work for Stars and is now a pro. Plays some pretty big games online and some big live tourneys & cash games.

http://markgritter.livejournal.com/

http://timprov.livejournal.com/

Mark and Tim are both regulars in Other Poker and talk a lot about non-holdem gams like triple draw and stud8.

There are a bunch of other good LJers talking about poker (and lots of other crap). I didn't list them all as the signal-to-noise ratio (considering poker posts as signal and everything else as noise) is often very low. So don't cry if I forgot to list you!

DN has a pretty cool journal. Today's entry:

It was about 5:00pm and I decided to head down to Bellagio to play a little poker. I headed over to my mother's house to pick up my brother so he could get out of the house for a while.

When I got there, it was just Eli Elezra, Chip Reese, and Gus Hansen. They were playing $2000-$4000 Hold'em, Omaha H/L, Razz, Stud, Stud H/L, 2-7 triple draw, Omaha, and Stud H/L Regular.

Later the game filled up with the likes of: Ming Ly, Barry Greenstein, Phil Ivey, Doyle Brunson, Ted Forrest, and David Benyamine.

The session wasn't too eventful for me as far as interesting hands go, but I ran pretty well. I was winning right around $100,000 for most of the session and finally finished up ahead $69,000.

I used to find that it was a useful tool and I haven't updated my links as often as I have updated my primary content. You'll notice if you check the link structure (or read any of the content) that there is no ulterior motive.
