Fantasy World Series of Poker 2011

Question: What's better than the Full Tilt Fantasy Poker Competition?

Answer: OwnIvey.com

It's a cool new site, created by respectable DeucesCracked-members, where you'll be able to draft a team of poker players to compete against other teams in the World Series of Poker. It's simple - the team that wins the most money wins. Creating an account is free and will allow you to compete in fantasy poker leagues against others. After creating an account you may draft a team of poker players according to the salary cap format. Your team of poker players may then be entered into as many fantasy poker leagues as you like. You may also create multiple teams. Fantasy poker teams score points based on the total amount of gross cash won during the World Series of Poker.

If you want to enter real money leagues you can easily deposit funds with PayPal. It's completely legal, even for US players, since the he UIGEA that passed in 2006 gave a special carve out to fantasy sports competitions as a game of skill...

So head over to OwnIvey.com, create a team and enjoy the WSOP excitement like never before. Just beware of The Angry Panda Express, that's my team and I've got a good feeling about crushing this...

Good luck!

Donkdown Radio

There are a ton of poker podcasts out there. And then there's Donkdown Radio...
It's a poker radio show based on free speech and uncensored content. Where other poker media are always careful to keep the sponsors happy, Donkdown Radio is the bull in the China shop. At times awesome comedy, sometimes covering breaking news in the world of poker and (that's how it goes with free speech) sometimes completely wild, crazy, insane and chaotic nonsense.
Almost always entertaining nevertheless.
Todd "Dan Druff" Witteles, Bryan "The Icon" Micon host this show every Wednesday. If you're looking for some excellent pokertainment in these post-pokerpocalypse days, Donkdown's the place to go...

Movie Night : The Tunnel

When monkey tilt is lurking around the corner and there's nothing much to do, Vodo delivers with a new independent movie. This latest release was financed by fans, contributing $1 per frame to enable production. The Tunnel is a horror movie, set in the abandoned tunnels beneath Sydney.


"In 2008, chasing rumours of a government cover-up and urban legends surrounding the sudden backflip, investigative journalist Natasha Warner led a crew of four into the underground labyrinth. They went down into the tunnels looking for a story -- until the story found them.

This is the film of their harrowing ordeal. With unprecedented access to the recently declassified tapes they shot in the claustrophobic subway tunnels, as well as a series of candid interviews with the survivors, we come face to face with the terrifying truth."


The Tunnel is entirely new. This week it's being screened in Cannes, shown on Australian TV - and released through VODO. It's a cool horror flick. If you like it (or maybe even if you don't?) please consider supporting the film with a donation...
