Taking up the Saturday slot will be the "Top Threads of the Week". The very first edition of this new feature article has already been put up. So do give it a read and send in your valuable comments.
Introducing: Top Threads of the Week
We Have a Poker Baby
purplefizz is a doctor, an occasional model and a pretty good poker player. She went missing for a couple of weeks, but is now back with an awesome announcement, she had a baby! She's now back dominating the tables after the short break, breastfeeding her baby while playing, and training her baby to become a champion poker player.
If you haven't sent her your congratulations yet, don't forget to pay her blog a visit. There's also a irresistible picture of her baby in there.

Poker Blog of the Week
What is a great blog without an inspirational back story to go with it? Our featured blog for the week from nibbana does not dissapoint. In the first post, he gives everyone a brief history of his boom and bust during his earlier stint in poker. He quit for 3 years, but he is now older, wiser and back at the tables!
Right now he is quite busy sorting out his upcoming marriage, and fussing about with his lady and their incoming baby. Whenever he has time though, he can be found on the Turbo and Super Turbo SnG tables on Full Tilt Poker. Do drop by his blog to check out what this 26 year old lad from Derbyshire, England is all about.
