Happy weekend everyone!
DAN BILZERIAN: Love him or hate him?
Aside from being a rich #poker player always partying with naked women and post their pics online, what else do you know about @Dan Bilzerian?
Which famous person would you want to play poker with?
Hollywood stars like @Ben Affleck, @Tobey Maguire, and Leonardo DiCaprio are already known as big poker players. But no one expected to see Paul Pierce, a future NBA Hall of Famer to be playing poker at this year's WSOP.
Here's a recap of Pierce's 2014 #WSOP Main Event with highlights from his three days on the felt.
The ratio of men to women in the world is about 1:1, but in the live poker world it's about 9:1. Many of the top women in poker want to see that change.

The goal of the article was to get some of the strongest female voices in poker to speak publicly about what sort of progress they'd like to see as far as more women playing and participating in poker.
Among the participants were Poker Hall of Famer Linda Johnson, women's all-time tournament money leader Vanessa Selbst, poker TV presenter Kara Scott, among others.
It was said in the article that women prefers playing online poker because they are being intimidated when playing live poker. Women are more comfortable playing online because they don't need to reveal their gender and they can play comfortably.
However, being a woman still has advantages should they wish to play live poker. This article is a good read for women who wants to enjoy poker whether they are live or online.
Read Article.
So what do you think of women playing poker?

A satirical guide to writing bad beat stories from the folks at PartTimePoker humor. A MUST read for a good laugh.
Bad beat stories serve two purposes. A really good bad beat story serves to show both what a great player you are, and what a complete retard everybody else is. Moreover, because all poker players are hardcore gamblers who’d shoot you in the back for a pretty penny, the community as a whole is fairly distant, and the stories help draw people together, because nobody ever tires of hearing about aces getting cracked.
This article will help you master the fine art of writing bad beat stories, as there is nothing sadder than cracked aces going untold about.
