Full Rush Poker – a preliminary review of this new poker site
Image by waffler via Flickr Based on the recommendation of fellow twitterer @Mitchell1969, I decided to try out a new poker site called “Full Rush Poker”, no association with “Full Tilt Poker”.

Online note taking – some sites give you more.

Update – Steve takes a bad beat by Doyle Brunson – Resolved by Doyles Room Security

Small Stakes Hold’em by Ed Miller, David Sklansky, Mason Malmuth – A review
