Those signing on to the PokerStars client or visit the Team Pokerstars site will notice a new (but familiar) face on the site, that of author and poker enthusiast Wil Wheaton. Wil is no stranger to the blog entries here, mostly because of his writing and poker playing, and less on account of his tenure on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Sunday, Wil faced the weekly winner, “Exclusive” and came out ahead after the battle.

Having played some Hold Em over the last few days, I give full credit to Wil to be able to come out ahead. Real Hold Em is not for the anxious or for the fast buck. Most of the time you fold your cards hoping for that one good hand to come around.

but it may never come.

But it might…

Egads.

Those following the happenings going on the blogosphere will have noticed I haven’t written too much on my Pokerstats.com diubgs lately. This is a result of both a) not enough money and b) not enough time. Having a little bit more of both tonight, I plan on going back and trying a couple hours of holdem and see how it goes.

Those on pokerstars.com can find me under the name “wwdnposse”
