The Steinhorn Stare

One of the nice surprises about being back at Microsoft is the sheer number of poker enthusiasts at the company, and level of knowledge they possess. When I left back in 2004, there was no company-wide email distribution list specifically to discuss poker. Today, there are at least a half-dozen different lists, and the most comprehensive one (called “Poker Players at Microsoft”) boasts over 500 members!

Discussion topics range from home and company games (I believe the laws in Washington State permit non-raked poker games, so games often legally occur on the Microsoft campus after work), to hand analysis and strategy discussion. Some of the more common contributors are tremendously insightful, and I only wish I worked on the main campus and had the opportunity to play with some of these guys and gals.

As some of the discussions on the distribution list are quite insightful, perhaps I’ll post of the more interesting stuff here in the blog (with permission from the writers, of course).
