Yo! Bloggers!
by G-Rob
Whatever happened to the wide world of poker blogs? There was a time, not too long ago, when I could kill an entire workday reading your fantastical tales. Sadly, that time has passed. There are, of course, some of you who never miss a beat. You're still on my daily reading list. Some of you, however, have dropped right of the face of the Earth and are simply munching away space on our poker blogroll.
I suggest, and of course CJ actually MAKES decisions like this, that it's almost time to pare it all down.
Get writing or get out.
That goes for the disappeared G-Vegas types... and the other South Carolinians.
HERE'S WHAT I ASK
This isn't a blogroll question, but just for my use.
What poker blog should I check and read at least once a week?
Please don't nominate your own. And, for the record, there are some you don't need to suggest...
I already catch every update of Iggy, Maudie, Pauly, BadBlood, BG, Derek, and Al.
Who else?
Just wondering.
(CJ's note: The blogroll is just about due for some weed-pulling so the flowers are a little easier to see. Don't let yours die on the vine. The grass is always greener on the other side. And a rolling stone gathers no moss.)
When you're not busy writing fan fiction, you should read Michael Craig's journal at Pokerworks. It's really good.
If you don't read Drizz every day you are an idiot.
Actually, I AM an idiot.
But I DO read Drizz.
One of the most reliable updates out there.
Great suggestions so far, by the way.
I think we need a total blogroll overhaul in here.
Sir Waffle
Waffles just has to be on the list. Always original. And entertaining like no other!
Never been on it. Never will be.
(Ed. note: Bitterness will get you nowhere!)
My first vote goes to Ryan. My second vote goes to Chris Fargis. I can keep going for a while if you like...
I nominate the greatest POKER blog north of Omaha:
My Totally Gay Online Diary
He breaks down poker hands like nobody I have ever seen before, meshes theory and thought like some sort of modern day Michelangelo, and updates 5 times a day.
Plus I hear he has magnificent junk, ladies.
(Ed. note: Bobby B has the distinction of being the first to suggest his own blog.)
That's just how Bobby rolls.
And GRob, I wasn't trying to call you out as an idiot, even if you claim it. I'm the idiot for sounding so, well, idiotic.
See you in "Milwaukee" on the 3rd.
(Ed. note: Don't worry, GRob is an idiot, and pointing it out is a time-honored tradition at Up For Poker.)
Um...I live in South Carolina. No one plays poker around here.

Pot Committed. Change100 is like a female Pauly only better at poker.
I suggest you delete my link. I don't write often enough because I don't play enough because I suck at poker!
I enjoy Amy's postings, granted she's got 3 blogs at once during the WSOP so hit up Breakfast Club Poker and her blog.
Or just go for the bOObs.
There is this site that fucken rocks: www.joaquinochoa.blogspot.com
No good excuses, but I suck at blogging only slightly less than I suck at poker.
I started to make some recommendations but then I re-read and re-re-read your blogroll saw that you already had most of them. I'd recommend myself but you said not to even though I'm not on your list. That's ok I hate my readers and I post every day that I can just to annoy them.
