If we haven’t said it on F5 yet, Thomas Keeling (aka SrslySirius) is doing a great job of his short and sweet video interviews for Bluff Magazine. Here he talks to one time World Poker Tour Player of the Year Andy Frankenberger about the start of his trip to the 2014 PCA.

The conversation is dominated by the fact that while Frankenberger may be good at the pokerz, he pays a little less attention to his own packing needs. You see, he admits to wearing the same pair of underwear every single day.

Jennifer Robles of PokerNews brings us a clip of the latest PokerStars Q&A session where Johnny Lodden, Ville Wahlbeck and Theo Jorgensen open up about past prop bets.

In this clip from the session Theo describes a very real prop bet, initiated at a baby shower, involving him having to discover ways to out run a penguin.

Wonder what Lodden thinks about that.

Today the Poker’s Choice Award (™) Winner for Favorite Poker Player, Phil Ivey, announced that he’s leaving whatever hideaway he’s been grinding in – most likely his digs in Macau – and taking the trip to Australia to participate in the 2014 Aussie Millions. The seemingly nostalgic Ivey put this message out for all to see:

After all these years, I still love playing poker. Looking forward to kicking off the new year with the 2014 Aussie Millions later this month.

Prelims start on January 24th and the first flight of the $10k Main Event gets underway on February 2. Players can register for most events online and pay via credit card...including the $100k Super High Roller and the $250,000 Challenge.

They really do have the following message on their website.

I hereby authorise Crown to debit my card $250,000.00 AUD representing tournament entries.

PokerNews' Kristy Arnett was on hand at one of the player panels at the 2014 PCA where Team PokerStars Pros David Williams, Vanessa Selbst and Issac Haxton were on hand to talk a little about their experience with staking.

Sharing some personal, and second hand stories, the trio entertained the crowd with their memorable anecdotes and even include a classic urban legend. Check it out.

As reported by the hand that feeds us, pokerfuse, newly legalized and regulated online poker site in New Jersey, partypoker, looks to score big through a new partnership with two professional U.S. sports teams.

Just in case you haven’t heard enough about the story of online poker in the past year, the DVD/Blu-ray of box-office bomb “Runner Runner” will contain a featurette entitled “House of Cards: The Inside Story of Online Poker.”

Featuring 2012 World Series of Poker runner-up (see what they did there?) Jesse Sylvia, the short hopes to bring some clarity to the masses about just what the hell online poker is.

I could get up to 5 or 6 thousand hands a day, 10 or 12 thousand if I really wanted to but that would have been, like, a big day.

“Runner Runner” is available now.

Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu may have fired 3 bullets at the $100k Super High Roller without getting a return but that’s not keeping him down in 2014. He’s got a plan, that he discussed with Bluff Magazine, and it includes winning 3, count them 3, World Series of Poker bracelets.

A Bolingbrook, IL police officer is under investigation for playing online poker while driving in the middle of a snowstorm. The concerned citizens captured the cop on their camera and described the situation to the Bolingbrook Patch.

This video was taken 01/04/2014 in Bolingbrook, IL at rush hour while the roads weren’t plowed and it was snowing. I was the one to capture this video in the passenger seat of a moving vehicle. He was driving and trying to play video poker at the same time while road conditions were already treacherous.

The officer has been identified from the video and according to Police Lt. Mike Rompa the situation is currently being looked in to.

The officer in this video has been identified. Due to the seriousness of this incident, the Bolingbrook Police Department has placed this under an internal investigation.

The video is pretty rough. We have our guess of which site it is, but we can’t tell for sure…can you?

Fact: poker players, in general, are an unhealthy lot.

To that end we applaud one of poker’s nice guys, World Series of Poker Tournament Director Jack Effel, in his quest to drop to 5% body fat.

That said, we know a way he can drop his first 10 lbs. easy – but we’ll let Matt Salsberg say it:

One of the great stories to emerge from the 2013 World Series of Poker was that of WSOP Circuit grinder Loni Harwood. In fact, it made such an impression that, with 27% of the votes, she captured the Bluff Magazine Reader’s Choice selection for Breakout Performer. But last month she made headlines of a more controversial nature when it was revealed that she was performing one of the biggest no-no’s of online poker: borrowing accounts/multi-accounting.

Back in the day Monster Headphones used to roll with Dre, helping launch the popular personal audio line Beats By Dre. Now though, Monster hangs with a new crew: Mike Sexton, Vince Van Patten (V.V.P) and the entire World Poker Tour posse. That’s right, the World Poker Tour picked up a new sponsor and now Monster Headphones are the official headphone of the WPT.

German high roller Fabian Quoss bested a small but extremely talented field of 56 runners (45 unique entries) to capture the 2014 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure $100k High Roller Championship.

After a big bubble clash, “amateur” poker hobbyist Dan Shak recounts to Bluff Magazine his wrong read turned chip lead in the 2014 PCA $100k Super High Roller. The live streaming final table, on delay, with hole cards is set to begin at 2:00pm EST.

She’s got the chip lead at the dinner break in the $100k Super High Roller at the 2014 PCA, but in this short video she talks with Bluff Magazine about how she’s putting her winnings to work.

A law school grad and an outspoken advocate of citizens rights, Selbst talks about a new venture where she plans on turning the camera lens on those who patrol the streets in hopes to curb any cases of abuse of power.

As reported by the bros over at Online Poker Report, it looks like the talk of slow growth in the legalized New Jersey market didn’t account for just how cold it was going to get outside! During the week of December 30- January 5 over 22k new accounts (not necessarily new users) were created so people could check raise from the comfort of their own space heater.

Team PokerStars Online Pro Issac Haxton has an semi-awkward conversation with PokerNews’ Kristy Arnett while on break during the $100k SHR at the 2014 PCA. An uncomfortable looking Haxton answers a series of simple questions in short bursts in a video that looks like it might be going nowhere.

The video then picks up when Kristy and Haxton break down a hand between Ike and the “hyper aggro” Ole Schemion. Clearly, when it comes to poker strategy, Haxton is in his element. Funny up front, informative at the end – check this one out.

It’s been about a year since Bluff Magazine's Thomas Keeling's alter ego SrslySirius released a new poker parody video. Today, he dropped his latest and it looks to be another instant classic. Here’s “Dan.”

Spent your Sunday on the couch watching football (American or otherwise)? No problem! PokerStars’ James Hartigan is happy to recap all the highlights from Day 1 of the 2014 PCA Super High Roller.

Play resumes today (Monday) at 12:00pm EST – so hurry up and watch this video before you settle in to your cubicle for 8+ hours of live streaming poker action and pretending to care about work!

Bluff Magazine's Thomas Keeling caught up with 28 year old poker phenom Justin Bonomo on break from Day 1 of the PokerStars PCA $100k Super High Roller. In the short video Bonomo talks about what he’s been up to since his runner-up finish at the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open $10 Million Guarantee (for which he made over $1.1 million) and what it takes to stack someone when you start with 250,000 in chips.

Bonomo also talks about speculation that he was the as-of-yet unidentified poker pro who left $300k in the back of a Las Vegas taxicab. Spoiler after the jump.

Back from his poker break, Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier takes time to talk with PokerNews’ Kristy Arnett while on break from the PokerStars PCA $100k Super High Roller.

The pair cover a whole host of topics including having Mercier clarify the status of his recent search for a taker in a potential $100k “no drinking bet.”

Mercier also pimps his blog post laying out his goals for 2014, which include winning three poker tournaments and capturing a major title. Most interesting, Mercier opens up about his new business venture in Florida where he’s invested in a food delivery service where you can, like, get Cheesecake Factory and stuff.

Whether you are new to the game of poker or a grizzled veteran grinder, sometimes it’s easy to lose focus on the reasons “why” we play the game of poker. Veteran poker author Ray Zee pens another column for the Two Plus Two Magazine on his top ten reasons why he thinks one should put in the hours and get good at the game.
