It’s time to take a break from grinding (or from your day job) to visit a few great poker sites!

Check out this funny (or is it true?) Melted Felt news article about Obama, poker and the economy!


Check out Pokeratti and Wicked Chops Poker for the latest poker news and gossip.


Check out Pocket Fives, Bluff magazine and PokerListings for online poker news and info.


Check out the F Train and Tao of Poker blogs for poker news and commentary from their unique perspectives.


Read this article by Phil Galfond about his “G Bucks” concept, which is basically a way of thinking about your poker decisions based on long term expected value, not short term variance; actually, Galfond gets much deeper than that into how he approaches a hand and you have to read the article to understand his deep thoughts.


Read this helpful thread (written over a year ago but I just recently found it) by frequent 2+2 poster Pokey, who explains why you should never play “weak-tight,” and why you may be playing weak-tight even if you think you are not.


Read Ed Miller’s helpful and intriguing post about the “Stages of a TAG,” i.e. the learning process that a typical tight-aggressive player goes through, from total beginner to expert pro player.


Watch High Stakes Poker Season 5 (2009) episodes via YouTube.


Finally, watch this video of Phil Hellmuth making an amazing read and all-in call at MatchRoomPoker.com.
