Man, what is the reward for writing my autobiography “Poker Brat” from 1 am until 7 am? I know what I want: #NewYorkTimesBestSeller— phil_hellmuth (@phil_hellmuth) February 01, 2017
It looks like DNegs is entering the fray of YouTube with the likes of Doug Polk as he has announced that he will be creating regular content on his YouTube channel.
Vlogs, poker tips and strategy advice are all expected on his channel.
Staples was one of the most popular Twitch streamers in 2016 and has over 73,000 followers
In a recent press release on the partnership Staples said: “I’m thrilled to join a great team at PokerVision. Their multi-platform ePlay network and approach to TV will allow us to expand audiences to all ages on all platforms.”
PokerVision is based in Alberta, Canada and hopes to be “redefining the future of sports consumption by bridging poker, gaming, eSports and sports content with unparalleled consumer interactivity.”
We’ll have to watch this space to see what type of content is going to be created.
After grinding out 47,000 words over 10 days for his book called “Chasting The Poker Dream: The Qualities of a Successful Poker Player”, yeah, Ingram unfortunately managed to get a typo in the title, it looks like Chicago Joey has won another prop bet.

Yesterday @Joeingram1 said PokerShares needs to bruise some more egos. Shots fired 🔫 https://t.co/mDa3lOBaYu— PokerShares (@pokershares) January 06, 2017
It looks like the eBook will be $9.99 from Amazon but a hard back version is also on the way.
Refraining from any Book of Moorman puns, it looks like 888poker Ambassador and the most successful online poker player in history , Chris Moorman will have a new book that will be hitting shelves this summer possibly during the WSOP.
I’m so excited to share my new book cover. Almost finished writing and will be out by the @wsop this summer… https://t.co/4Gezi4iyFG— Chris Moorman (@Moorman1) January 25, 2017
Announcing the news on twitter that he is almost finished writing his new tome, the book simply entitled Moorman, sets to analyze his own key hands as well as getting other poker pros like Daniel Negreanu, Fedor Holz and Liv Boeree to give their opinions.
Not that I was ever really expecting Doug Polk to be the next John Conner, but it seems that even his alter-ego, Coach Doug, is enough to save the human crew in the Brains V AI challenge from what might have been the Judgement Day of online poker as we know it.
Dong Kim, Jason Les, Daniel McAulay, and Jimmy Chou took part in the Brains vs. AI challenge where they battled the AI program, Libratus, in Heads Up No Limit Hold’em for three weeks. Ultimately the humans were overwhelmed by the poker bot.
Libratus dragged its final pot against the humans on Monday night as it pulled ahead of the humans by a total of $1.766 million in chips over 120,000 hands.
Libratus is clearly the most advanced AI poker program ever created.
Dong Kim, Jason Les, Daniel McAulay, and Jimmy Chou took part in the Brains vs. AI challenge which saw them battle the AI program, Libratus, for hours each day as they tried and ultimately failed to find an edge to exploit the program.
The match played out over a 20 day period, live streamed on Twitch but already Libratus proved too hard to beat.
According to Part Time Poker, Libratus put an end to the humans misery on Monday night with the final tally putting the poker bot ahead by $1.766 million over 120,000 hands.
The Final tally against all players is as follows:
Dong King: -$85,649 Daniel Mcaulay: -$277,657 Jimmy Chou: -$552-857 Jason Les: -$880,087
Doug Polk traveled to Pittsburgh to catch up with the group and lend his support.
Oh and with not being content with whooping poker arses, Libratus entered the fray of social media, with its very own twitter account.
Welcome to Skynet.
People talking about implementing my AI in scenarios to help relieve problems. Yeah. If the scenario is PokerStars, and money is the problem— Libratus (@BotsAintLoyal) January 28, 2017
I am sure Dentale just means it metaphorically when he says Cate Hall will be “punished” for “her big mouth.”
Or at least I hope his comments are confined to the upcoming heads up grudge match between the pair that will see them face off at the SugarHouse Casino in Philadelphia in March for a best-of-three $10,000 freezeout matches played with $25/$50 blinds.
But not one to waste an opportunity to throw some shade at Hall, Dentale used his interview at the Borgata Winter Poker Open to rant about why Hall needs to be taken down a peg or two.

Kade was thrilled to receive the news and pledged to share a portion of her future winnings with her Twitter followers and one of her favorite charity organizations.
There is a selection of scheduled MTTs across all buy-in levels at PokerStars Ontario for anyone looking to enter the New Year in a true grinder fashion.

The Winter Series at PokerStars Ontario will run for 16 days straight and offer just shy of $1.4 million in guaranteed prizes across a range of buy-in levels.
A PokerStars US multi-state online poker network is now just weeks away, assuming a “necessary milestone” — a 48-hour software upgrade — goes smoothly.
