• Easy Game 3rd Edition: Adaptations February 21, 2012
  A Review By Lee Davy The first time I met Andrew Seidman was at the European Poker Tour (EPT) event in Deauville, France in 2010. I had no idea who he was but I liked him as soon as I was introduced to him. He is a very likeable person who has a wonderful confidence about his demeanor. When we ate in a Spanish restaurant he ordered his food in Spanish and wh […]
• Football Manager February 17, 2012
  Abramovich, al Fayed, the Glazers. Let’s face it, you’re nobody these days unless you own a club in the Premiership. And now the Hendon Mob have taken their rightful place at football’s top table.

  Players may refer to the strength of a hand in various ways, from which the mostly used are statistical. In their view, a hand is strong depending upon how often it has won in the past, when and where it occurred. In statistical terms, they assign the quality of being weak or strong in various degrees to a hand referring to relative frequency instead of prob […]

• The True Value of Tracking Software February 7, 2012
  I want to follow on somewhat in this article by discussing what for many is the contentious issue of tracking software. However I am not going to go into areas like ethics or anything like that but I want to lean more towards the concept of how useful these tools really are. But there is the key word in a nutshell because “tools” is basically all what they a […]
