I have reason to hate poker, or at least the online poker comment spam that plagues this (any many other) blogs. Yet despite being someone whose cardplaying sophistication halts abruptly at cribbage, the world of Texas hold'em is utterly alien yet completely fascinating to me.
Poker expert Lou Krieger, author of Poker for Dummies, has started a blog. Up until now, everything I know about poker has been learned from reading keen poker player Wil Wheaton's blog: his excitement for the game is infectious. There's another excellent introduction to European poker scene by Nicholas Fearn in the Observer.
