Pro Players with to much cash??

admin — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 17:53:42 +0000

After checking all the major forums I came across a very interesting thread about a prop bet between “good2cu” and “20k Jay”, basicly 20k Jay has to live in his hotel room for an entire month! If he leaves his room he will loose the bet (a webcam has even been installed in his room)

So far the total bet amount is $20k and hes getting 2:1 on his money!! check it out here

What to listen to when playing poker.

admin — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 17:36:05 +0000

There was a recent debate on a popular poker forum with regards to what you listen to when playing poker, many people insist on pure silence to enable 100% concentration. Personally I like a bit of comedy in the background (my favourite being the Ricky Gervais Podcast and radio shows) see pilkipedia.co.uk for downloads. The reason I think I prefer listening to comedy shows rather than music is the calming effect (especially after bad beats) and it keeps me relaxed throughout the game but stops me from falling asleep Also I find just listening to music for long periods of time to become really repetitive.

However some times I do like a change and listen to music mainly something heavy and upbeat, something that will keep me alert. Ofourse it’s probably better to not listen to anything and to concentrate purely on the poker, also if you are a passive player try putting on a bit of rock to get you pumped, but whatever you do don’t get tempted to turn that TV on!!!

Sit And Go Tourneys

admin — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 15:39:07 +0000

After playing standard tournaments for so long I decided to play a few single table sit ‘n’ go tournaments, buyins ranged from $5-$21 with between 6-9 players. I decided to play a 6 hours straight with multiple tables. Played a total of 21 games total buyins cost $270 in total. I ended up with 7 wins, 8 times in 2nd and 6 in 3rd for a total win of $510 giving me a profit of $240 for 6 hours ‘work’

I found playing a tight aggresive game at full tilt poker gave me some very easy wins, however when I move up to multi table tournaments I find it much harder to cash out with a descent profit. However earning $240 for a few hours work seems fine for now.

Also playing smaller sit n go tourneys are a great way to improve your game and try a few more aggressive moves.

Million Dollar Cash Game

admin — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 16:12:43 +0000

The first Episode of Full Tilt Poker’s ‘million dollar cash game’ was broadcast on sky 2 last night (in the UK) 11 players all buy in with $100,000 and 2 of them (Phil IVey and Chris Ferguson?) buy in for $200k. Players can also rebuy in at any time.

Unlike the ‘High Stakes Poker’ TV series in the US this series focuses much more on poker and the strategies taken by each player rather than the drama of the poker table. Even though each player ‘only’ brings $100k to the table we have been promised some pots reaching up to $750,000!

Players include: Phil Ivey, Chris Ferguson, Jennifer Harman, Howard Lederer, Allen Cunningham, Gus Hansen, Erik Seidel, Erick Lindgren, and John Juanda along with Roland de Wolfe, Patrik Antonius, Marc Goodwin, and Tony G.

The dates for the next episodes are as follows

Full Tilt Poker Million Dollar Cash Game #1	7 January 2008	22:30 GMT
Full Tilt Poker Million Dollar Cash Game #2	14 January 2008	21 GMT
Full Tilt Poker Million Dollar Cash Game #3	21 January 2008	22 GMT
Full Tilt Poker Million Dollar Cash Game #4	28 January 2008	21 GMT

This series is well worth watching if you have sky sports, each episode is approx 2 hours.

bet365 poker review

admin — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 16:00:30 +0000

bet365 is a huge sports betting company based in the UK (the UKs 32nd largest private company) since then it has expanded in to online casinos and finally online poker.

Although the company is based in the UK they still offer membership to worldwide members, although the member base is pretty UK heavy.

Bonuses
New players get 150% on their first deposit up to a huge $600! you will also get the standard monthly bonus points for playing!

The Players
A lot of the players have come over from the sportsbook and casino and as such may be relatively new to poker, after playing for a while on the lower limit tables I found a lot of weak players which will quite easily fold under a bit of pressure or who will raise to the river with a high pair.

Deposit Methods
bet365 offer the usual deposit methods including visa, mastercard, maestro, solo, neteller and firepay. Withdrawls are handled very quickly usually within 24 hours
