Poker Player Twitter Names

Found this link to feature in our ever growing list of outbound-only links today... a detailed list of poker pro names on Twitter.

We do not yet have a twitter feed for this blog, though I do have a personal one and enjoy occasionally dipping my proverbial toes in the stream of spam, nonsense and the occasional great link... funny how many young ladies follow me and spontaneously offer those 'extra' pics of themselves!!

Anyway, todays link is to a blog called aintluck - which is worth having in your bookmarks - this list is divided up into categories depending on where the pros play. We can not guarantee that you'll be followed back - though this could be a great opportunity to get their streams sorted in time for the World Series of Poker - where tweeting is apparently fully allowed at the tables this year!

Aria To Open "Ivey Room"

Well, you know you have made it in poker when you get a high stakes poker room named after you... not that Phil Ivey needed this accolade to know that he had made it of course. Todays outward looking link is from just before the opening... it seems that the Aria casino are making a play for the type of games usually held in 'Bobbies Room' at the Bellagio.

There are some great prizes (including a $100k bounty) for the opening weekend, the question is whether this room will gain traction amoung the high-stakes crowd... will the legend of the french Businessman dumping millions on the tables re-appear for this years World Series (the time when the huge-stakes games are traditionally at their busiest).... will the relatively unknown Aria gain a name for itself, pushing the Rio, Bellagio and Horseshoe down the poker pecking order?

Well, we will see our course, however one thing is for certain - competition is always a great thing!

Phil Galfond Launches Poker Static

Billed as a 'rival to Poker Road' one Phil Galfond... high stakes pro and teacher of aspiring high-stakes pros, has launched his own website called Poker Static. It has already got off to a flying start based on the buzz around some of the video-interviews... my guess is that there were a couple of real buzz-worthy pieces stored up for the launch, and that the real test of whether this is a good enough website to compete will come a few months down the road.

There is no denying that mulit-media sites and high-stakes action have their audience... what we are wondering his who exactly this demographic are and how the sites plan on making money out of them... could this be that the idea of this site is simply to build the personal brand of Galfond - which he will then cash in with future business ventures? Speculation only of course, we will leave it you to decide for yourselves...

As ever the link is below, remember, Poker Frog is proud to be the web's only completely outward looking poker blog, if you would like to suggest an article or website for a link then just drop me a comment!

Daniel Negreanu's Blog - Always An Entertaining Read

Today we link to the blog of world-renouned poker pro, businessman and multi-millionaire - Daniel Negreanu. The blog is hosted over at CardPlayer and is one of the most honest, down to earth and entertaining reads you will find from this prolific writer.

Coming from Canada with Romanian parents, Negreanu is definitely a colorful character - the fact that he has fought so hard to gain his pro status - including going broke on his first jaunt to Vegas - is a credit to the man... you can also catch all the latest updates on his dog 'Mishu' right there on the blog (though we are unsure how good the latter is at poker!)

Blogrolls - Starting Next Week

A unique post - one without a link!

Decided that what the frog is missing is some blogs to put into a blogroll... going to start next week to add some, probably starting with my personal favorites.

If you have a blog (that is not just full of paid adverts of course) then lets hook up - bloggerphorically!

Mike Caro - The Mad Genuis Of Poker

Mike Caro is one of the poker-worlds funniest and most thought-provoking writers - and certainly looks more than a little like the 'mad' in his title... (though to be honest it is probably for the press!).

This guy really looks into the poker mind, how to think about situations and the wider game and insights into why people succeed (or otherwise)... long time friend of Doyle Brunson apparently!

Anyway, his site is full of insights and excellent advise - as well as some handy odds charts for a wide variety of poker games. Definitely worth a link.

Photoshop Funnies - If They Never Played Poker

Todays link is to an ongoing and very funny thread over at 2+2... this one is titled 'If They Never Played Poker' ... well , you'll pretty quickly see for yourself what it is about! My personal favorites include Phil Helmuth in McDonalds and the 'Village People' with Daniel Negreanu, looks like this thread could keep on rolling along for a while to come yet.

100 Poker Sites You Should Check Out

Kind of cheating, no?

Well another blog took the idea of listing 100 poker sites which are worth checking out... have not had the time to look through them all (well, only 10 or so to be honest), but it does look like a very good list and so worth a poker frog blog link-up!
