Review: You Only KNOW Poker When You Can QUOTE It! Fun Poker Quotes Book

You learn the game.  You play the game.  You play the game online.  You watch it on television.  You may even read instructional books or pro player biographies.  But have you ever imagined being able to quote poker?  Or rather dish out famous poker quotations and quips? I admit I never really considered anyone would compile an encyclopaedia of poker quotations.  That is, until I received Colin M. Jarman’s “The Quotable Poker Player” in the mail.  Essentially, The Quotable Poker Player (TQPP) is a thorough compilation of over 1500 poker quotes or attributed remarks taken from pro players, celebrities, films,...

Review: The Poker Pen IS Mightier Than The Sword!

I usually get a lot of digital products like poker bots, poker calculators, etc. that intrepid gaming programmers want me to test out and review.  But occasionally, someone mails me a physical poker-related product to review. A few days ago, I received just such an item that really excited me.  It’s not a poker-related product that I’ve ever seen before.  It’s a “poker pen” from PokerPens.com.  And let me tell you, this isn’t your pocket ball point pen!  (For starters, it’s a “rollerball” pen) The Background PokerPens was inspired by a group of avid poker players who were looking for...

Review: Plenty O’Fish in the Mansion Poker Sea!

If you’re looking to make some serious money playing online poker, there is no doubt you’ll want to check out Mansion Poker.   Why Mansion Poker?

Review: Is MagicHoldem Poker Odds Calculator really magic?

When online poker first became popular, I played… and lost… and play again… and lost again.  I admit I wasn’t very good.   I mean, sure, I knew how to play as far as the basics go but I just never seemed to have any luck so I stuck to the free tables – until I got better and better at it.  Then I got the poker bot (which you can download today by signing up to our FREE newsletter).   So you win money with the bot playing your hands, but some days you actually want to play some rounds...

Review: MUST-HAVE – “The Full Tilt Poker Strategy Guide: Tournament Edition”

Okay, if I’m going to start reviewing products, I want to make sure I start with a good one. No, the best one. It’s a book. Plain and simple. An yes, it’s a real book. I like certain eBooks, but a lot of them are garbage. This is the real deal. Published in 2007, it is a MUST-HAVE if you’re a general poker player. It does feature the Full Tilt sponsored players, but you don’t have to be a Full Tilt member to gain from this priceless resource. Basically, all the information, tips, tricks, and strategies are assemebled from some...

Watch For Exciting Poker Product Reviews!

10,000 And that’s probably a conservative estimate! There are literally thousands of Poker Products, eBooks, Calculators, Bots, Software, Tables, Services, banks, chips and more. Whether you’re a pro, beginner, amateur, online player, offline play, even an antique poker memmorobilia collector, the possibities can be overwhelming! I plan to begin regular reviews of online and offline poker products and related services. I have a nasty habit of “telling-it-like-it-is”. Let’s call it the Dr. Phil of Poker. If you’re looking for an endless stream of endorsements, you won’t quite find that here. Most products or services aren’t all around good or bad....
