Top Thread of the Week
Can you ever laugh too much? If you wish to put your laughing stamina to a test, head to this week's top thread dedicated to the best stand-up comedians out there. The ingenious thread was opened by michaelm and immediately got swarmed by various videos that will make you drop your pants shaking in laughter (that is if you are watching the videos standing and have your belt unbuckled).
Chris Rock, Robin Williams and all the other great ones can be found in this thread. In case you have some of your own favourites, stop by and share their videos with the rest of the community. One last thing before you visit this week's top thread - make sure you have plenty of free time at hand, because you may easily find yourself watching one video after another, spending the next hour doing nothing but laughing.
Poker Blog of the Week
While it's always nice to read blogs of fellow PokerStrategists who play on similar stakes as you do or plan to, it can be pretty motivating to read blogs of some of the "more successful" members (it would be a safe guess that earning thousands of dollars faster than you change days on your calendar counts under more successful).
As such, you should definitely go check out lessthanthreee's blog - especially if you are an SnG player; or if you are a cash game player who plans to commit treason and switch to SnGs. Either way, lessthanthree has become a poker coach on PokerStrategy.com not long ago. Besides wearing the blue coach avatar on the forum, he will also be soon wearing a ring - as he is not that far from being not just any PokerStrategy.com coach, but a married one.
In case you missed the whole story of how he got to this point, prepare yourself to read through a hefty amount of pages. If you are more of a don't beat around the bush and let's jump to the main subject type of person, then fast-forward 50 pages or so and you'll get right to where all the latest action kicked off.

New Community Members this Week
They say first step is the hardest, well in case of PokerStrategy.com, making your first step into the world of our poker community is as easy as it is fun to spend time around here (younger generations even compare it to Disneyland of poker - though to enjoy the content here, you don't need to be of proper age or hight, but of proper rank).
Who are this week's first steppers into our community? Some have joined us from Romania, some from Brazil and we are not even counting the extraterrestrials yet (NASA still hasn't found a solid evidence of their existence, but it's a safe guess the first alien to visit Earth will register on PokerStrategy.com and play some HU with TwiceT or some other crazy Earthling).
Below are some of the newest faces in our community:
- buldoru comes from Romania on a mission to collect money.
- patrickmoya greets us with a hai from Philippines.
- slavcopopgosev's name is Slavco and he hails from Macedonia.
- crisfer3 is our latest newcomer from Brazil.
