Big Slick Nuts Poker Blog

I would have a longhorn-cattle-ranch-straight-flush if I were to play strip poker with this woman. Sweet, sexy, and a hustler to boot – everything you could want in a woman!

How funny – I’ve had nights like this, all-too-recently, unfortunately. Big pairs getting no action, or getting cracked by 2 and 3 outers, endless streams of rags, donkeys that don’t know how to fold… Reminder – If your cards, suck, fold them – they’ll give you two more in just a minute! Sonofagoddamnedbitch!!! Oh well, [...]

The final installment in Rick Braddy’s Sit-and-Go Tournament Tutorial. He continues to fold his small blind, trying to set up a trap. I prefer more aggressive play heads-up and win 57% of the time, lifetime, in SNGs. By accumulating chips as best I can, it enables me to take more risks heads-up, when in most [...]

APCW calls bullshit on the mainstream media for using the term “online gambling” too broadly, and their failure to report on the problems with the UIGEA. He also calls into question the PPA view of legal online gambling by July 2009, and makes great points about the logistics and issues associated with legalizing and regulating [...]

Continuing Rick Braddy’s series of videos with mostly-solid sit and go tournament strategy and tips. At this point, we’re in the money and Rick has a big stack and he’s trying to sit back and let the other players fight it out. I prefer to let my opponents dictate the action – if there’s a [...]

Another great interview from the folks at Poker Superstars, this time with Phil Ivey. Anyone ever notice that Phil doesn’t blink? Like, ever? He can play any hand in any game, and can go for days on end when playing against someone playing poorly. He’s as close to a poker machine as you’ll find. His [...]

Some of the most recognizable faces and names in poker talking about poker on television and its impact on the game. This roundtable includes Howard Lederer, Phil Gordon, Mike Matusow, Daniel Negreanu and Phil Hellmuth, along with host Chris Rose facilitating the discussion. I love that Phil Gordon calls Matusow on his bull and Matusow [...]
