next, as Pokerstars bring us poker tournament action :
Hello folks and welcome to the start of EPT season seven. As ever, if the boarding pass says EPT, it means Barcelona. And here we are in Catalonia, on the sun-kissed
beaches of the Costa Brava.Oh.
Sounds a bit fishy to us - remember you can read the truth about all the major poker rooms over at our sister site, Golden Rule Of Poker
Well. OK. It turns out we’re in Ukraine. But I swear it took the same time on the plane. Anyhow: while we determine how this could possibly be the case it would be highly churlish not to extrapolate on the circumstances that brought us here. Five years ago we were a quiet poker tour that took us to all the places that we knew. And then things happened (of which we know but little) to get us to the point where an EPT blog writer is lining up for 90 minutes beneath a banner that says: “For Ukraine residents only.”
Oh.
Apologies for leaving the PokerStars bloggers at this point, but if your interest has been “sun-kissed” then check out Tuesday’s post at the PokerStars blog.

At least I bet/shoved the turn eh? LOL.
If all this talk of heads up, shoving and turns means nothing to you, then check out our sister site, where we have a guide to Poker Rules For Beginners
I’ve been blogging for a long time. I started a personal blog in 2004 to connect with the students I was working with at Gateway Presbyterian Church in Colorado Springs, CO. That was the last “real” job that I ever had, working part time and supplementing my income by spending enough time on Party Poker that I was able to collect some of the free money being given away. I moved from Colorado Springs to Minnesota to get married, that lasted 8 months, and at the tail end of that I went to Las Vegas for the 2006 WSOP.
My start in poker came years before though sometime around the period in my life when girls became interesting. My dad ran a home game for as long as I can remember, standard kitchen table nickel-dime-quarter games with friends and family. Baseball, Dr. Pepper, Criss-Cross,
