Matthew wraps up his SCOOP series this week. In part 4, he fights his way through the final two tables. In part 5, he makes a valiant effort on the final table. I won’t spoil the finish for you, but this was an excellent first series by theginger45.

Andrew is back to continue up his WCOOP Heads Up series. In this week’s installments, he faces an opponent who he has a huge edge on. Due to this advantage, he chooses to play many small pots which leads to a super long match, hence the need for two videos. His opponent proves that there is indeed a great deal of luck involved in poker, but in the end skill still reigns supreme.

That’s a quote from the hit television series Breaking Bad that formed the basis for Matt Hunt’s most recent article. The essential question is, “Are you in the poker business or the money business?” His answer? “Both. I’m in the empire business.”
