Labor Day Poker Blog Round-Up

Hopefully you too are just lounging around and taking it easy like Gemma Atkinson this Labor Day. More of Gemma taking it easy here.

We're taking it easy this Labor Day, but fortunately other people are still writing about poker. Here's some good poker blog reads we found while surfing the Information Superhighway^TM this weekend.

:: The always solid LasVegasVegas has a list of the top five poker blogs out there. Can't argue with it. [link]

:: Speaking of the best poker blogs, the OnlinePoker.com forum has a debate going where someone apparently isn't a fan of WCP...or breasts. Says said poster, "...as for Wicked Chops that is more about tits than poker, your choice." [link]

:: Great post by on Aimlessly Chasing Amy on the so-called poker "media" and how their coverage of poker is changing, at least a little. [link]

:: Although 1/3 of the Entities took 7 years of French, we still don't understand a damn word in this French poker forum, although we can only assume it's mostly about frogs, capitulation, and the 10 hottest women who don't shave their armpits. However, one hilarious poster chimes in simply saying, "France sucks." [link]

:: Kid Dyamite has lost his shirt but not his sense of humor. [link]

:: And this should be way hotter than it is. [link]

Tao of Poker: Five Years, Five Questions

Kim Kardashian and her big fat booty did this little performance to honor Dr. Pauly's 5 year Tao of Poker anniversary. Fortunately for all, the Tao is way more entertaining than Kim's dancing abilities.

Earlier this month Dr. Pauly celebrated the fifth birthday of the Tao of Poker. We've often referred to Pauly as the "Hardest Working Man in the So-Called Poker Media^TM," and for good reason. It's because he's the hardest working man in the so-called poker "media."

Pauly's WSOP tourney reporting often runs circles around full teams from other coverage providers. Particular the foreign teams. Particularly the Euros. They're all too busy being promiscuous and running through 100,000 condoms in two weeks while we're all eating KFC. Love those Euros.

Along with Iggy's Guinness and Poker, Dr. Pauly's Tao was the entry point for many-a-bloggers in the poker space. To commemorate five years of great poker coverage (and pissing next to pros), here's our "Five Questions (+ One to Grow On) for Dr. Pauly's First Five Years of Poker Blogging^TM."

WCP: Does it feel like five years?
Pauly: Today it feels like 2.7 [years]. But some days it feels like I've been doing this for a decade. "Time flies^TM"...as the saying goes. The grind of everyday blogging...it's both an addiction and a job. Countless nights I'm screaming into the void. The real test will be if I'm still around in 2013. Will the world end in December of 2012? Some freaks thought that year will mark the beginning of a new spiritual era, while other  fanatics are afraid that year will signify the beginning of the apocalypse. Either way, will blogs be relevant then? Or will the Tao of Poker just be collecting dust on some server in the farthest corner of the intertubes.
