Pud's Poker Progress / Matthew Pitt / 31 July 2009 /

This week's poker blog round-up contains some stalkers, bad beats, people quitting poker, some sick, a few funny videos and Rick Astley! Where else on the net could you find such a mixed bag of blogs all on one page? Let's get started.

We've all experienced cyber-stalker to some degree whilst playing poker. I'm almost certain that anyone who reads this blog and plays poker will have put a bad beat on someone in a cash game or a tournament and then had the player they sucked out on follow them on each table for the next half hour screaming in the chat box how horrendous you play. No?

Recently dD took this to another level. He didn't put a bad beat on anyone, nor has he abused them in the chat but for some reason he has found himself a new online friend, or should I say stalker, whenever he logs onto his favourite poker site! This "friend" hangs off dD's nuts and has even followed him to stakes three times what he usually plays just so he could be seated with him! LOL! Maybe we'll have a blogger wedding on the horizon!

Whilst doing my rounds on the blogs on Monday I came across a post that I had expected for a few weeks but never actually thought I'd see. Popular and prolific blogger Steve Holden has been going through a torrid time at the poker tables and has started to not only hate the game but take the beats it dishes out personally, which is a recipe for disaster. His post entitled "That's all folks" gives an insight to how he is feeling and not dealing with things related to poker. He seems like a top bloke and I wish him wel which ever path he decides to take.

Vizer is a professional poker player from the US of A who recently found himself extremely drunk in Las Vegas with a bunch of friends. I particularly liked how he got shot down in flames when approaching a girl, simply because the observation he uses at the tables wasn't used in real life as he failed to notice her engagement ring then I LOL#'d when I read he'd ended up getting a lapdance without really knowing it, only realising when he "got a whiff of her stripper perfume" and then holding in his sick so he didn't barf on her!

One of the blogs I check daily is that of Joppa Road. Whilst some of his writing my be a little on the offensive side to those of a weak or nervous disposition, I find the guy absolutely hilarious, but then again, I am a sick puppy! His latest post is quality and lets the readers know why Nirvana front-man, Kurt Cobain blew his brains out with a shotgun a few years ago.

Finally, some more funny videos to cheer you up on your Friday lunch break at work! Julius Goat posted a video on his blog that contains three clips that I found really funny, the first one about not talking to robots is the best of the bunch IMO.

Well folks, that is all for now, hope you enjoyed the round up and until next time, thanks for reading and best of at the tables!
