The Queens!

Jack Ury, the 97 year old geriatric again has been getting ridiculous amounts of TV coverage at the World Series this year as he made it to day 3 of the tournament.

Ury, the oldest ever player to play in the history of the WSOP starting player poker in 1953 but only played his first WSOP Main Event in 2007 at the ripe old age of 94. At the Main Event in 2007, the ESPM cameras fell in love with the old man, and he landed up being one of the stars of the tournament.

One amazing thing about Jack is he has little or no vision in one eyes and the other eye only has around 20% vision. Plus add to the fact that Jack can only hear out of one ear gives him one hell of a disadvantage.

The senior citizen who hails from Indiana needed a tad of assistance during play, and it was great to see the other players help. Opponents helped Jack with his blinds and antes, and his grandson Seth was behind him to help him stack his chips if he won a pot. Players also helped him by announcing raises and letting him know what was on the board.

And plus; I must say, I’ve never seen such an old person wearing a baseball style hat. He looks fantastically cool. I’m going to get my grandfather a hat this week.

Play resumes on Monday with Ury sitting on around 8.200 chips.

Let’s hope he wins.

                             All roads lead to Lady Gaga

With so many poker metaphors and references to poker in mass media, non-poker related sites often get in the way of online searches for real poker sites. Searches for sites featuring the world’s most popular card game are often misguided to sites about politics or popular entertainment.

Lady Gaga is a great example of this. Her hugely popular pop hit “Poker Face” has gotten in the way of many searches. If you are reading this, chances are you’ve searched for ‘poker’ on Google and chances are you’ve often been led to sites promoting all things Lady Gaga. When Roberto Ivanov of Canberra, Australia, was searching for information on online satellites for the WSOP, he couldn’t avoid being inundated with results for Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face” music video.

And with a headline like the one above, there should be even more search results linking ‘Lady Gaga’ to ‘Poker’. Oops

Bluff and poker are synonymous. Most poker adverts seem to play on the word bluff and put it into real life situations. These are in my opinion, the best poker adverts that I’ve seen in a long time.

These have been passed around forever, but it’s only apt that they get displayed here as well. Thanks to Live Poker Magazine for the smiles.
