Somach Lashes Out At Poker Twitters

It was only a matter of time.

Self-important poker players who think the world is interested in their every thought have been blogging for a while now.

The blog-short for web log, a type of online diary-has become a staple for poker pros such as Phil "Poker Brat" Hellmuth Jr., Doyle "Texas Dolly" Brunson, Daniel "Kid Poker" Negreanu, Annie Duke and many others.

But blogging is so old hat, and this is, after all, the year 2009.

The year of Twitter.

Doyle Brunson Gushes and Gushes Over Vanessa Rousso

I didn't have a very good result in my return to poker, after a few months off. In the NBC Heads Up Championship, I lost in the 1st round to Vanessa Rousso.  I've got no excuses, she held the best hands and I never really had a chance.  I made two hidden pair twice and she beat both hands.  It's hard to overcome a bad start and she played very well and now I'm on the rail.  Vanessa is the GoDaddy representative and is going to be in the poker world for a long time.
