Welcom to the Valentine’s issue of Blind Straddle. Our wives have informed us that playing in the Partner’s tournament at our local cardroom on Valentine’s Day instead of taking them out might result in our record-breaking streak of waking up with both our eyebrows coming to an end. So we’ve decided to talk about poker tournaments instead. Luckily, Tourney Tracks.com, a new site tracking every major poker tournament in north America launched this month, so there’s plenty to talk about. We’ve got a new columnist starting this month, as well as an old favorite taking on a new role. Also, one of my favorite columnists, Kat Martin, has moved to Vegas, and he is oddly…happy.
Enjoy the issue and may February bring lots of love…and chips!
