WSOP blog …and so it begins.

Posted by admin on May 30, 2008

I’m not much of a club guy, but when it comes to the World Series of Poker, you don’t mess around. Bluff Magazine, who I’m working and living with during the World Series of Poker, is hostiing a party tonight at Tao, one of the true Vegas hotspots, and even a wet blanket like me can’t help but take advantage of VIP treatment, free booze, beautiful women and a night out with hosts Phil Laak, Jen Tilly and Antonio Esfandiari. The car leaves in a few minutes, so I’m keeping this relatively quick.

I’m taking these few minutes to say welcome to my WSOP blog. If you have no idea who I am or what I do, my name is Gary Wise, I write about every facet of poker except strategy and I do it for some of the industry big boys, including espn.com and Bluff Magazine. Each day, I’m going to post a few original thoughts on WSOP goings on here along with links to all of my articles so those so inclined can keep your reading up. For example;

Today, I have fresh articles up all over the place. I have a look at the storylines going into this year’s WSOP over at worldseriesofpoker.com; you can find that at WSOP.

Then, I have a couple of pieces over at espn.com, with another look at storylines (this one a little different) at ESPN and a look at the top bracelet winners of all-time.

Finally, I have a look back at Chris Moneymaker’s bluff of Sammy Farha, perhaps the most crucial hand in poker history to the development of the industry. If that all isn’t enough poker reading for you, you’re a sick, sick individual. Of course, you’re my kind of sick.

If you have any thoughts or comments on this here blog, be sure to let me know in the comments section. Thanks for reading; I’m looking forward to sharing the WSOP experience with you. All the best, I’m off to Tao.
