The PokerStars folks are shooting the breeze about poker

all through the late summer. Here’s their latest contribution from a brand new blogger:

PokerStars was trying something new.

After holding the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure on a cruise ship in 2004, it moved the growing event to the Atlantis Resort and Casino in 2005. PokerStars also decided it wanted to hire a blogger…just for the week…to cover the event. That blogger was me.
