He hates snow but he loves poker. So Rocket Boy was thrilled to visit a snow-free Lake Tahoe and sweat the WSOPC main event final table. The local talent got very deep but a big-name pro took it down...

Rocket Boy finally railed the WSOP one time, and he says it won't be the last time. Only one event could get him to go to Vegas in the summer. That's right, baby, it was the $50K HORSE event...

FlopTech's Chief Executive Nit, Rocket Boy, took time out from his "busy schedule" to rail the main event of the Bay 101 Shooting Stars event. Again. Like he's some kind of WPT fanboi already...

Rocket Boy rolls into Vegas and what does he do? He rails the Bellagio Five Diamond WPT event again. Well, somebody's gotta do it. At least he got some good pix...

Our Chief Technology Maniac gets his face up outta the code to ship us the buzz on some Tahoe cardrooms: Montbleu and Harvey's. If this guy could play as well as he programs, he could quit and go full-time pro. (Hint, hint...)

How much luck is there in poker? How much skill? Should poker be lumped together with other card games like blackjack, pai-gow, and baccarat? "Rocket Boy" gives us his thoughts...

Vegas, baby! "Maniac" gives us the lowdown on three incredibly different cardrooms. The Sahara: old school and on the way out. Palms: off-strip so it has to be good. Wynn: weird and wonderful with a great cardroom...

Three hands that our intrepid bloggers actually played or witnessed in which aces went down in flames for big pots. Ya gotta remember: pocket aces are only the nuts preflop...

The first in a series of brick 'n mortar cardroom reviews by our Chief Technology Officer, "Maniac". He kicks it off with California casinos in the south (Hustler) and north (Lucky Chances)...

Come on, admit it. You guys at FlopTech are spooked by little ole me, Webmistress "Troi". "Dont'cha wish your reading was hot like mine?"

Our CEO, "Rocket Boy" drove to Bay 101 and got in a whole lotta quality seat time in the WPT grandstands. The thing ended way after last call, so Sexton and the gang toasted the winner with apple juice...

Everyone says poker is a people game, and in this blog "Rocket Boy" explains how you should play, not how he does play. He'd be so much better if he practiced what he preached...

Resident chip-slinger and CTO "Maniac" just lets it all hang out. And he's such a mild-mannered guy at work. It's always the quiet ones you need to watch out for...

"Rocket Boy" teeters right on the edge of whininess in this one. "Oh, woe is me! If only I hadn't changed seats I would have been a big winner." Been there, done that too, buddy. Some seats can just be hotter than others...

"Rocket Boy" gets all cosmic as he ponders the checks and balances, the yin and yang, the light and dark, "I'm a Mac. I'm a PC." Well, OK. Not quite that cosmic...

Our roving CEO "Rocket Boy" busts his WPT cherry (but only as a spectator, not a playah.) If he were as good an executive as he is a photographer, he could, uh, well maybe I won't say anything career-limiting right here...

Maybe I'm extra sensitive. Maybe my eyebrow barbells help me channel people's vibes. Whatever. Yes, I can read people pretty well, but it's not because I have an extra big brain or anything. Call me now for your free readin'...

Uber-geek "Maniac" tries to explain the math behind the madness. Why would you call 20% of your stack if you know you're at best 50/50? (Hint: it's not because you're pretending to be a maniac...)

"Rocket Boy" doesn't get to play all that much any more, but he does vaguely remember the good old days with juicy, exploitable games. He tries to explain it all for us...

Yours truly has fended off more than one aggressive move in her time. And she didn't do it by being weak-passive, let me tell you. But she will admit that she wants weak-passive opponents to be her BFFs on the felt...

Some players don't know when to quit, and others don't care about winning. It's important to be able to pick a good time to get up and leave but above all, play to win...

Ouch. Our CEO, "Rocket Boy", saw a pretty nasty river card come out up in the high country. At least the dreaded words "I'll gamble with you" gave advance warning...
