Q: Name your top ten poker blogs.

PL: Here they are…

1) Fuel55

He has taught me more about the game of poker than any other blogger.
I also have the advantage of being able to play live with him on a
weekly basis. He’s an entertaining guy to be around. His bark is worse
than his bite.

2) Astin

Another funny Canadian poker blogger who spices up (literally!) the
blogosphere with a culinary slant. He has inspired me to dust off some
seldom-used kitchen implements. This has measurably improved my
health!

3) Alan (RecessRampage)

This would-be poker pro has always written an entertaining blog heavy
tilted towards strategy content. Always informative. There are vague
rumours that he might actually take a trip to Vancouver some day.
Anyone want to start an over/under using the 2010 Winter Olympics?

4) Wicked Chops

Sometimes I need to take a break from words and just look at pictues.
They also have good gossip from the world of poker and links to live
poker coverage.

5) Hoy

If I ever want to read long posts (often with many screenshots), Hoy
is where I go.

6) CK

Any blog with its own lexicon is to be treasured. She writes
informatively on non-hold’em games, which is a breath of fresh air.
Definitely high on my list of bloggers I would like to meet.

7) Cmitch (O-Poker)

If you want to see quality content about medium-stakes NL cash games,
this should be your first stop.
8) Gnome (Surly Poker Gnome)

And this blog should be your second.

9) Waffles

No one rants like Waffles. Enough said.

10) Julius_Goat

Simply put, he is the best pure writer in the poker blogosphere. His
creativity and technical skill are unmatched.

Q: What is your greatest poker accomplishment to date? (Submitted by MEMPHIS00)

PL: The assiduous acquisition of poised patience in the face of
agonizing adversity, which enables me to play better poker in
stressful situations. It definitely contributed to my second Mookie
victory.

PirateLawyer’s question for the next champ…

Q: If the poker blogosphere were to have a Canada-USA team competition with a mixed game tournament format, which poker bloggers would you name to each team (5 players per side)?
