When you empty your opponents' virtual pockets in STACKED, you'll never have to worry about them later hunting you down and exacting their revenge.

The online gambling legal debate is as fierce as ever. Thankfully, the government can't interrupt our daily STACKED marathons.

Cardplayer has their own High Stakes Poker preview.

2+2 wants to know if you endorse ridiculing a blind thief when he's been caught.

Everyone is excited about the next season of High Stakes poker, featuring STACKED's own Daniel Negreanu. 2+2 can't wait either.

A recent problem I had at a live poker room you'll never have to suffer when you play STACKED -- yet another reason to never leave the house.

Take a break from STACKED -- I know, I know, I agree it's absolutely terrific, but let it cool for five minutes here and there every day -- and enter The Negreanu Zone.

When you think of the best poker books, what names come to mind? "The Theory of Poker," "Small Stakes Hold 'em," "Hold 'em Poker for Advanced Players," "Getting Started in Hold 'em," "Harrington on Hold 'em" #1 and #2, and a number of other Two Plus Two books. This month, two others debuted that are must reading in order to properly dominate the STACKED competition you'll face: "No Limit Hold 'em: Theory and Practice" as well as "Harrington on Hold 'em" #3: The Workbook.

After STACKED, this deal might be the best deal this year. 2+2 agrees. Who are you predicting for the final table? I've got the final nine figured out: These Seven, plus This Guy, and then some Random Nobody.

PokerNews continues their countdown to the second biggest event of 2006 (naturally, the release of STACKED was the biggest).

What does 2+2 think of Mr. "Hell Mouth" -- hint: it's about as pretty as him.

If you're like me, you barely remembered to bathe and feed yourself, as you've been that wrapped up in the wonder that is STACKED. (In the interest of full disclosure, I only remembered the latter portion because I had the good sense to stock up on nachos and soda before STACKED got here ... and the former portion, well, let's just say that I'm waiting for my clothes to disintegrate before changing.) That's why my friend David Lloyd is such a swell fella, as he summarizes the week for us -- so we can get back to dominating the competition in STACKED.

It sounds pretty interesting, but that could be the sleep depravity I'm experiencing as I try to get in even more hours of STACKED in each day.

Daniel wants you to tear it up in STACKED, thus he continues to dole out his secrets.

Now that the WSOP features a bracelet actually worth winning, Bill Fillmaff might take the tourney seriously and enter.

I'm not really sure what this story is all about, but all that matters is that it involves Shannon Elizabeth.

If you're like me, you're thinking it means 18 hours a day of playing STACKED, as that's what I've been averaging in the last week. STACKED's main man is talking about a different diversion.

The next installment of Camp Hellmuth is rapidly approaching. Try to maintain your composure.

There's no better way to start your day than with a baseless rumor courtesy of 2+2.

Please sit down before you read the latest bit of Hellmuthian Insanity.

I have an amusing Gavin Smith anecdote from the WPT Foxwoods, but it's not really for mixed company -- ask me at the WSOP. Until then, while you're waiting for your next STACKED match, hear all about the current WPT player of the year.

Sometimes you're drawing dead -- or very slim. Learn to drop those hands, unlike me, and you'll excel at STACKED.

When he's not too busy working on the greatest poker video game ever created, Daniel Negreanu slaves away behind his computer in hopes of improving your game. This time he assembles his top 10 list of rookie mistakes.

6, Quitting while you're ahead

Sorry to burst your bubble, but there is no system for figuring out when it's time to pack up and leave. The worst plan that many rookies utilize is the one where they hit and run by quitting after very small wins, but continue to play when they're behind. If anything, that's the exact opposite of what you should be doing.

An interesting question is raised at 2+2: why does the 'big game' exist, when the losers could move down in limits a bit and find a game they can beat?

In a particularly humorous yet insightful response, a respected poster responds: "Why not just title the question, 'how does the game of poker played for money exist?'"

PokerNews follows up on the story of a raided South Carolina home game. It appears that 18 of the 22 players have decided to fight the man rather than pleading guilty and paying a small fine.

Join the discussion at 2+2 about Celebrity Poker, which as you know now features Phil Hellmuth. As with most (all) things in life, 2+2ers didn't care much for it.

I realize you're all very busy with STACKED, and I cannot blame you as it is a gaming experience like no other. I can help improve your STACKED time by offering you some revolutionary poker thinking that you'll find in the latest issue of 2+2.

"No Limit Hold 'em: Theory & Practice," "Small Stakes Hold 'em," and "Getting Started in Hold 'em" author Ed Miller published a dozen phenomenal pieces this month that you should not miss, including some from 2+2 poker-heavyweights like himself, Mason Malmuth, and Ray Zee. Here's a few others that I want to highlight as they will be of immediate help to your playing of STACKED:

What's the challenge? Read his article and find out. And, remember this paraphrased nugget: you can get better at anything by getting better at everything else.

Start accounting for dead cards -- it will help your game.

Poker theory can help you make this decision.

We've all heard about raising the flop in position so we can get to the river for "free," but Drew takes a look at this old standby maneuver.

In the latest installment in this series, I take a look at a poker professional you may never have heard about ... until now.
