Date: Fri, Feb 11, 2011

A while back we were hearing that some 60 million Americans played poker. We have since learned about 36 million of those are really just playing on Facebook. But here in Vegas, some 20 a month are learning to play better anyway. Doing the really loosely conservative math (is that an oxymoron?) that makes for [...]

Peter Eastgate Unquits from Poker WSOP ’08 champ back with PokerStars for EPT Copenhagen, NBC Heads-Up

Date: Thu, Feb 10, 2011

It’s already starting to pain me not to have The Poker Beat to re-speculate wildly with limited knowledge on real people’s lives.

Who Owns Your Poker? (Part II)Protecting IP in Poker Pro Representation Agreements

Date: Tue, Feb 8, 2011

Many of the intellectual property issues I address as a gaming attorney are in poker representation agreements. These are agreements for poker pros to play for, endorse, and advertise for various poker brands, both Internet and land-based.

High Stakes Poker: Season 7 (3D) Norm Macdonald + PokerStars in, Gabe Kaplan & Full Tilt out
