Heads Up: David Chiu Versus Barny Boatman
Posted by One Angry Monkey | Filed under Heads Up
Welcome back to another round of the Full Tilt Poker Heads-Up Challenge, where we take 64 of our top pros and face them off against one another until we’ve determined who’s number one. This week’s match is a seven seed versus 10 seed affair, with David “Flag Draper” Chiu taking on Barny “Not a real mobster” Boatman. One quick note before we get started: I’m an idiot. I completely underrated Chiu as I was making the seeding for this competition. He deserves to be a much lower seed than he is, and I apologize to everyone out there for this grave injustice. With that said, let’s get this party started:

Posted by One Angry Monkey | Filed under Heads Up
Welcome back for another round of action in the Full Tilt Poker Heads-Up Challenge, where we take 64 of our top pros and face them off one by one to determine who’s the top dog of them all. This week’s match is our final six seed versus 13 seed showdown, with Steve “Fly like an eagle” Zolotow taking on Jon “Thank god my favorite band isn’t Limp Bizkit” Turner. Today’s match will once again be slightly abbreviated due to prior engagements (i.e. getting drunk); we’ll try our best to return to our regularly scheduled programming as soon as possible. Let’s get this party started:

Reader Mail: Moving Day
Posted by One Angry Monkey | Filed under Reader Mail
Welcome one and all to the show that never ends – that’s right, it’s time for a little Reader Mail. Unfortunately, due to time constrictions, I’m going to have make this a rather brief mailbag today. The powers that be have decided to move us out of our dungeon and into gen pop at this very time, so we’re busy picking the Post-It notes off our walls and pouring out a 40 for our fallen homie. But, as they say, the show must go on. Hit us up at pokerfromtherail@fulltiltpoker.com with any comments, questions, or general concerns for our safety now that we’ve been removed from our sanctuary and forced to mingle with other “real people.” On to the show:

This week’s match is the third of our 6 seed versus 11 seed showdowns, with Andy “Tilt happens” Black taking on Jordan “Luck has nothing to do with it” Morgan. Let’s get this show on the road:

Heads Up: John Cernuto Versus Niki Jedlicka
Posted by One Angry Monkey | Filed under Heads Up
Welcome back to another round of the Full Tilt Poker Heads-Up Challenge, where we take 64 of our top pros and pit them against one another in a Mortal Kombat style showdown. OK, so nobody gets killed, but you get the idea. This week’s match is the second of our six seed versus 11 seed showdowns, as John “May or may not be from Miami” Cernuto takes on Niki “I shouldn’t have switched screen names” Jedlicka. This should be a good match folks, as we have an established vet taking on one of poker’s young guns. One quick note before we get started, today’s match will be a slightly abridged version of what we normally do, as I’m feeling lazy today and could only be bothered with seven categories, not the usual nine. Without further ado:

Reader Mail: Low Limit and Beyond
Posted by One Angry Monkey | Filed under Reader Mail
Welcome back to another round of the constant catastrophe we like to call Reader Mail. Once again, our mailbag has been stuffed to the gills, so let’s give it some breathing room and air a few of these questions out. Email us at pokerfromtherail@fulltiltpoker.com with any comments, questions or certifiably insane rants about that time you thought a bee had stung you but it turns out you were just jabbing yourself in the arm with a pen. Wow, that might’ve been the stupidest thing I’ve ever written (and that’s saying a lot). Anyway, on to the show:

Posted by One Angry Monkey | Filed under Heads Up
Welcome to another round of the Full Tilt Poker Heads-Up Challenge, where we deliver the best in non-poker related heads-up play. Today we’ll be bringing you the first of our 6 seed versus 11 seed matches, all of which pit some of our more “old school” players versus some of our “young gun” Internet players. This match features Berry “Classy and respectful is no way to play poker” Johnston versus Jared “I’ve been wearing the same hat for the past 10 years” Hamby. Old school versus new school, experience versus youthful exuberance – whatever you want to call it, this titanic clash of cultures should be a fun ride to take. Let’s get this party started:

Welcome back to another round of Reader Mail, where we take simple concepts and turn them into mind-boggling nonsense.
