The No Limit Poker Blog
Blogs, vlogs and books.
You may not know much about the poker podcasts you don’t listen to. Most of the available guidance to the market is click-bait articles, dated click-bait articles, and corporate’s ineffective search algorithms. For instance, Google’s poker podcast summary and Spotify’s listings miss many of the best poker podcasts, yet both promote long dead pods, some…
I’m going to review the new film The Card Counter from immediate memory; usually the opportunity to watch again, especially those key moments where a theme or even just a detail the writer’s argument can lean upon requires exact knowledge. However, I think in this case it will be fine; after all, Bill Tillich aka…
Live poker’s great crank sage, Abe Limon, borrowed well from Gertrude Stein. “There is no there, there,” he would say, meaning that poker was a passage through, as opposed to a destination toward.

Unfortunately, I am not a man of my word, but it doesn’t mean I’m not trying. Perhaps the secret was not to go so in depth, when really, few care besides me about what is behind the vision. “Keep it simple,” she had said fatefully; in this case, perhaps that still applies to a few…
A new generation of poker players is creating thousands of hours of previously rare poker content: The personal poker video log, aka vlog. In this series, I will attempt to review them all. “It’s difficult to talk to the camera,” admits Brandon Sheils, a once and now again aspiring poker vlogger. Watching his videos “My…
A new generation of poker players is creating thousands of hours of previously rare poker content: The personal poker video log, aka vlog. In this series, I will attempt to review them all. It’s suiting that I start off with a vlog which commands its form while being particularly constrained by it. In other words, the Jeff…
