Week Five - October 2-3
(C-Note: After four weeks of... well, dead air, we
finally have a correspondent for this syndicated poker
series. As always, what follows are
televised-hand-by-televised-hand accounts.
Obviously, since it's only an hour show, most hands are
not televised so you're going to see a lot of jumping of
the dealer button. For more information on this and
other poker precepts, visit Chris Wolvie's
Poker Primer. In the meantime, here's
Robert!)
