In the last day or two, Twitter has pointed me to several interesting pokery things that I might have missed otherwise.
Annie Duke at The Moth, telling the story of how she grew up in a family of game players, learned to be competitive and not to lose, and how she discovered that poker was her true life calling (about 17 minutes).
"Grinders," an online pay-per-view ($4.00) documentary about playing poker for a living in underground cardrooms. I haven't watched it yet, but Kevin Mathers gave it "two thumbs up," which is endorsement enough for me. For more on the movie and how to see it, go here and here.
Forbes magazine reports on the latest filing from federal prosecutors on the Black Friday case, including some of their legal arguments.
Entertaining article by B.J. Nemeth about the creative things poker players dream up to bet on when playing "Lodden Thinks."
Interesting, sensitive, and self-aware blog post by Terrence Chan about how odd millionaire poker players' conversations and actions must appear to much of the rest of the working world.
