Okay, so maybe the guy who finished 7th in last year's main event at the World Series of Poker didn't exactly need a traffic bump from this little 'ol web site, but they earned it. There's still some great stuff over at Ship It Poker.
But now it's about time for a change. And this time, I've got a blogger with current credentials. As far as I can tell, he's the only blogger in Card Player Magazines top 40 poker player of the year standings.
It's Chris from over at Twenty-One Outs Twice. He's currently 37th ahead of such notables as Freddy Deeb, Max Pescatori and Scott Fischman. Not bad, huh? You'll have to head over to his blog to find out how he got there. It's just another edition of "The Nuts!"
(And in case you're wondering, to get 21 outs twice, just have an open-ended straight flush draw with two overcards. Pretty simple, huh?)
Great blog. Do you want to swap links? My URL is above.

Posted by: Colm at February 27, 2005 9:25 AMmaybe this guy is a good card player (must be due to the rating from the magazine)
maybe this guy is a good blogger (to each his/her own opinion)
...but I've been reading the blog for a while B4 you linked/propped it.
imho, his attitude & style is off-putting; he's a genius and everyone he plays against is a "donkey".
If one of his opponents does something that he deems stupid, then its just plain stupid - can't be a bluff, can't be a mix-up of play - its just dumb and the guy is a DONK.
But when he himself paints outside the lines, its inspired play and you, humble reader, should keep your comments to yourself if you don't agree.
I judge blogs not only on their content & appearance but how I feel about the writer(s) based on what of their personality I can glean from their writing.
Chris comes across to me as the kind of player & person that I would like to watch suffer a horrific beat - too smug, to condescending - thumbs down from me.
