The Steady Growth of a Likeable Russian

Kirill and his amazing comebacks
The first time that I saw Kirill Gerasimov was in Petersburg, five or six years ago. Together with my fellow countrymen Marcel Lüske, Rob Hollink, Ed de Haas, Rolf Schreuder, and Kosta Anastasyadis, I was there to represent my home country the Netherlands in the European Nations Cup Challenge. I believe […]

Anat Gerber

Anat Gerber has been turning heads ever since she moved to Las Vegas from Israel six years ago. This exotic beauty, originally from Tel-Aviv, has the kind of charisma and sheer attractiveness that makes men fumble for their words (or forget they were talking in the first place).
As if that wasn’t enough for us poker […]

The Inside Straight

Third Season of High Stakes Poker Filmed
It’s Currently the Hottest Poker Show on TV
By Lisa Wheeler
The Game Show Network filmed another season of the smash-hit series High Stakes Poker recently, and although the show has been running for less than a year, its success is phenomenal.

Fantasy Corner

What we know is that a football player’s fantasy price tag is based on one thing - another owner’s perception of his value. What we can do to benefit from this truth is to look ahead and see where a player will find himself when the points mean the most: the fantasy playoffs. Choose wisely. […]

Tales from a Home Game - Talkin’ Trash

Let’s just assume for a minute that, instead of porridge, Goldilocks broke into the three bears’ house to find trash talk. And instead of the three bowls, there were actually three places where you could play poker. A casino, online, and a home game. Well, the place that would have just the right amount of […]

NYC: Deep in the Underground

I kept my head down and my hood up. Joe walked next to me, his eyes straining to see the numbers over the doors of the buildings. I watched the ground with every step I took, screaming metal blaring from the earbuds of my iPod. It was Friday night, 1 a.m., and we were on […]

The Psychology of Tilt

How much does tilt really affect the outcome of a hand or even a whole tournament? I think it has a much greater effect than many believe and so I think it is important to discuss it. Many players ignore it and just say, “I never tilt” and go on believing they don’t when all […]

Shannon Shorr

A little short of a year ago, then-20-year-old Shannon Shorr was sitting in his dorm room at the University of Alabama with an engineering book in one hand and his mouse in the other. Shannon has always been one of those people who excels at whatever he puts his mind to, so going to school, […]

University of Nevada, Las Vegas

We’ve managed to put out 17 issues of Card Player College without ever having visited the school that resides in the same town as the Mecca of poker. How dare we! It was time to hit up the Rebels at the college scene in the world’s poker hub - Las Vegas, Nevada.
Vegas exudes its opulent […]

Back to Poker!

Now that the initial shock of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Act has subsided and players and industry types sit waiting for the fallout, poker playing has returned to the forefront of conversation. That is not to say that people still aren’t talking about what’s to come, but hey, we still have a game to play. […]

The Tour, the Law, and the Biggest Game in Town

Recently, we’ve been swamped with big tournament news and piles of news about recent online gaming legislation.
First, on the tournament front: The World Series of Poker announced that the 38th-annual installment of the event will start on June 1, 2007. The final table of the $10,000 main event will take place on Tuesday, July 17, […]

The Inside Straight

As 2006 begins to wind down, the Card Player Player of the Year (POY) race continues to heat up, as three impressive stars have moved into a virtual three-way tie for second place. With everyone’s sights set on current POY front-runner Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi and his whopping 5,961 points, the remainder of 2006 should […]

Blink

Gut instinct, or the brain processing and analyzing information without our knowledge?
I would guess that every experienced poker player is familiar with the following situation: In the middle of a hand, an opponent - who is reasonably well-known to you - does something. It doesn’t really matter what he does; maybe he bets, raises, check-raises, […]

Reading Another Player’s Reads

Taking the ability to read hands one step further
Players frequently struggle when trying to read hands. I agree that piecing together the clues regarding player tendencies, betting patterns, and so on can be difficult. Recently, though, I played a hand in which I thought I had a perfect read on my opponents’ cards, and still […]

Life With the Poker Queen

The ‘queen’ rules with an iron fist
People often ask me what it’s like sharing my life with a poker queen like Barbara Enright. Since she’s so nice and friendly at the poker table, everyone assumes that she treats me with the same respectful behavior that she shows to her poker opponents. Well, that’s not exactly […]
