About The Muck

The Muck is a poker comedy site. The Side Pot is the main event: completely made-up stories about real poker people, played straight. The daily brief is the sidekick: real names, real results, real prizes, delivered by someone who refuses to take any of it seriously. The facts in the brief are never the joke. Everything else is, and everything in the Side Pot is invented.
