Brittani Simberg is better known to the Hollywood Poker community as Brittfish14 - and she won a seat at the 2006 World Series of Poker's Ladies Event alongside the Hollywood Poker Diamonds. Brittani didn't stop there though - she's a poker addict now. Read on, and follow Brittani through her poker tour of duty. | A Night Out With Amarillo Slim | Ok, ok, that's enough teasing. I will now tell you the long-awaited Amarillo Slim story.
For those of you who don't know who Slim is, here is the brief 411. He is one of the legendary pioneers of the modern poker world, a participant in the very first World Series of Poker and the winner of the third. Slim is also commonly agreed to be the greatest proposition gambler to have ever lived. His most famous saying, quoted by Matt Damon's Mike McDermott in "Rounders" is good advice for sharks the entire world over: You can shear a sheep many times, but skin him only... read more A Night Out With Amarillo Slim

| Thirty Six Hours of Satellites | I want to apologize to all of you that here we are in September and I'm still writing about July. Alas. Life and a very ill hard drive got in my way. I've told you basically all there was to tell about Part 1: The Ladies Event and $1000 No Limit Hold 'Em. After the ace-ten of diamonds debacle, we played in a few sit 'n' go satellites. I cashed in a good majority of the ones I played and Dad got knocked out of the Seniors Event by, you guessed it, ace-ten. He pushed all in with ace-king and knew he... read more Thirty Six Hours of Satellites

| The Season Finale (Finally) of the $1000 No Limit Event | Before I return to my shining, cashing, WSOP glory, I want to take a moment to send my condolences to the Woods family. I did not know Michael, although, like everyone else on this site, I happened to casually exchange a few words with him in the tournament lobby a handful of times. He always seemed incredibly generous, responding to everyone, even the schmucks, with frankness, humor and grace. At a time when words fail, the best I can say to those who knew and loved Michael is: I am very sorry for your loss and hope that sooner, rather than later, the grief subsides and what remains are... read more The Season Finale (Finally) of the $1000 No Limit Event

| The Never-ending $1000 No Limit Event | I hope you've been following along because I'm going to skip the preliminaries and jump right in. The tasty fish and time away from the Amazon must have helped because after dinner, the cards and the courage returned. I began my series of all-in moves as I had watched Annie Duke do hours beforehand. Actually, she was still doing it and a few times, she stole my thunder. As the player to my right, she had the first shot at it. It's all right to gamble on king-ten off-suit (which I did), but you don't want to do it second. You'll take a call if it comes, but you'd rather... read more The Never-ending $1000 No Limit Event

| $1000 No Limit Texas Hold'em Event | Work was no fun today, so I retreat to my blog with the WSOP Circuit Event from Tunica on the Deuce in the background. Where was I? If memory serves, I have yet to update you guys on the $1000 No Limit Event I cashed in. That's my favorite part of the whole long story, so I'll jump right in.I arrived at my table to find it back to normal; filled with boys. "Thank the lord," I thought, "I'm so sick of playing with those women." Before the thought was gone from my head, who do you suppose took the final seat at the table? If you said Annie ... read more $1000 No Limit Texas Hold'em Event
