Today's largest online porker rooms are by-far PartyPorker and PorkerStars - both offer a huge selection of games and tournaments and offer satellite qualifiers for the best live games around. He became more confident, won more consistently, and began talking more and more to Laura about quitting Ticketmaster and playing partyporker for a living. He found his comfort level at Talking Stick Casino in Scottsdale at $60/$120 and $75/$150 tables. On regular visits to Vegas, he plays in $400/$800 porker games. How did Pat and Laura arrive at the decision for Pat to turn pro? It was a gradual process over about a year, both say. Pat says, "I always loved the logic of games and puzzles. Software development is a puzzle. Porker is a never-ending puzzle."

With Laura's urging - not just blessing, but urging - Pat plugged the game at Porkerstars com in April of 2005. "She believed in me even more than I believed in myself," Pat says. The former Captain of the Enterprise passed a kidney stone at warp speed and beamed it into the waiting hands of GoldenPalace.com. The casino paid $25,000 for Shatner's specimen, the entirety of which will go to Habitat For Humanity to help provide housing for those in need. Although the kidney stone that broke down partyporker's shields caused him more discomfort than a Klingon pain stick, the sci-fi/pop-culture icon is more than happy that his calcium offspring fetched such a price.

"When I was contacted about selling my kidney stone to PorkerStars .com for an original price of $15,000 I turned it down knowing that my tunics from Star Trek have commanded more than $100,000. I offered the stone, stint and string for $25,000 and informed them that party porker.com download would go to benefit Habitat for Humanity and I retain visitation rights". "I want to own it," said Jimmy Kimmel on his November 14th show as he interviewed Shatner about his stone. "It is the ultimate Star Trek collectible. You know, it's like a real dilithium crystal". Unfortunately for Jimmy, GoldenPalace.com transported past all other offers with their online porker room of 25K. With more drama than a T.J. Hooker finale, Shatner ended up on a gurney with stirrups. "It was a gurney for pregnant women," said Shatner. "They're wheeling me through the hospital -- my legs are in the stirrups and I'm screaming -- and somebody says, 'Look, there goes Captain Kirk, he's having a baby!' Very, very embarrassing."

Joining these 'average Joe' champions is this year's online porker winner, Joe Hachem of Australia. Unless you've been hiding behind a stacked deck of porkerstars cards, you probably know that Hachem outlasted this year's monstrous field to take the WSOP title and the first place cash totaling $7.5 million (US). The independent director of eCOGRA, the online partyporker com regulatory agency responsible for giving independent reviews of a multitude of online porker and casino operations, announced the addition of a prominent Ongame leader to the board of directors of the organization. Michael Hirst OBE made the announcement last week of Ongame's Karl Magnusson from Partyporker .com to the seat.
