Weekly SNG Tip: Going for First or Going Broke
A common misunderstanding with many players that like to play SNG events is that as long as they make it into the money, which is normally the top three, they are doing well. The problem with this logic though is that unlike large-field tournaments that offer considerable profits for those that place in the final spots, SNG payouts really only add up if you’re winning the single-table tournament. Once you realize this, you’ll understand why so many SNG specialists stress that you only ever strive to win these SNG events, and never be content with just making it into the money.
Now this isn’t to say that you should play recklessly and gamble too much during the opening and middle rounds of a SNG, as that is just not good poker. You don’t need to always make it into the money with the chip lead (though it’s nice), but once you’re there you should not be willing to let yourself be blinded off in hopes of catching premium hands or waiting for the other players to bust each other. People that play with that mentality are willing to settle with a 3rd place finish and hopefully maybe a 2nd place another opponent gets knocked out. In reality though, you should be the one making the moves necessary to better your odds for a 1st place win.
Once you’re in the money, you are going to want to always be looking for ways to add chips to your stack. The less chips your opponents have, the more likely they are going to be forced to play marginal hands, allowing you to hopefully capitalize on that weakness. If you continue to play very tight when there are only two other players left for you to beat, they will pick on you continuously, steal your blinds and bet you out of pots. At this point you have lost control of the match and now are just hoping to get lucky with a great flop or some other uncommon situation.
Don’t ever consider 2nd place to be an acceptable finish. You’ve already won your buy-in back once you’re in the top three, now it’s time to go for the real profit. Pick your spots wisely and try and keep yourself in control of the game as much as possible.

Poker Hall of Fame Adds Two New Members
The results from the 2010 Poker Hall of Fame voting were announced earlier today. A committee of 16 living HOF members and a 17 member media panel voted to determine two new inductees. Each member received ten votes that they could allocate as they saw fit. In a change from last year's voting rules, the top two vote-getters would be inducted into the HOF. The two winners were both strongly deserving of the honor. Eight-time bracelet winner Erik Seidel will join the only man to make the final table in the WSOP Main Event in three different decades, Dan Harrington, as 2010 inductees.
Seidel burst onto the poker scene in 1988 when he finished 2nd to Johnny Chan in the WSOP Main Event. Since that time, he has been a fixture on the tournament circuit while amassing eight bracelets in the process. His gentle demeanor at the tables earned him the reputation as one of the nice guys of poker. Seidel turns 51 on November 6th, two days before he and Harrington's induction ceremony.
"Action" Dan Harrington is the 1995 WSOP Main Event champion. He stunned the poker world by reaching the Main Event final table in back to back years in 2003 and 2004. His nickname "Action Dan" runs contrary to his reputation as a conservative player. Harrington is 64 years of age.
Seidel and Harrington had no easy path to earning HOF votes; others on the ballot were: Phil Ivey, Daniel Negreanu, Chris Ferguson, Barry Greenstein, Jennifer Harman, Tom McEvoy, Linda Johnson, and Scotty Nguyen. Return to Poker News

PokerStars prepares for 40 billionth hand this month.
While approaching 40 billion hands, PokerStars will be celebrating their accomplishments with larger prize pool tournaments, splash pots, and the largest Sunday million ever!
Until the 40 billionth hand hits, PokerStars will be having a number of promotions this month as a thank you to all of the support of their players.
The first giveaway, which will be paid out the most, is a splash pot, and cash giveaway. First, to qualify for this, you must be playing in a millionth hand. During this hand, Stars’ will be paying out $40 to each player per every VPP earned the last 40 hands. The pot will also be doubled in this hand.
If you happen to play in the 40 billionth hand, every special that is given away on the millionth hands will be exponentially larger. Players at the table will be rewarded $400 per 40 VPP the last 40 hands, as well as the pot being doubled again.
Cash game prizes won’t be the only way to make some extra cash, tournaments will be increased and held frequently for larger payouts.
Plans for this Valentine’s day should be playing poker, and Stars’ is making a strong case for doing so. This February 14th, at 2:30 ET, the Sunday million will be the same $1,000,000 prize pool guarantee, but the buy-in will only be a manageable $40.
After the normal Sunday million, the following Sunday, Feb. 21st, the celebration for the 40 billion hands will be taking place. For the first time ever, the Sunday Million will have a prize pool of over $4,000,000 making the first place prize a minimum of $1,000,000. This truly makes the 21st a Sunday million day.
Finally, to round off the promotions, a number of 40 FPP freerolls and 40-man super sit-and-go’s will be held to compete for some of the $40,000 prize pool at stake. Also, players can trade in 2,500 VPP for $40 dollars cash this month.
Florida Gets Major Poker Law Adjustment
In case you haven’t been paying attention, poker in Florida is somewhat of a joke. The state currently has a number of odd restrictions put in place that greatly hamper the games made available to the players, including one law that places a $100 max buy-in cap on all cash games. So yeah, that means that some Florida card rooms were running $5 - $10 no-limit hold’em games where the participants could only buy-in for 10 big blinds. The terrible restrictions have been driving players crazy for years, but it now appears that finally some relief may be in sight.
The Florida House approved a new deal this week that will be uncapped poker to the state, as long as the governor signs off on the bill, which by all signs appears to be a certainty. Other changes that the deal brings includes the right for the Seminole tribe to operate slot machines and host blackjack games at five of their seven casinos, as well as extend the operating hours of the poker rooms. The changes are expected to bring in an estimated $1 billion for the state and tribe over the next five years.
“This is a big contribution and a big commitment,” said Rep. Bill Galvano (R-Bradenton), one of the main proponents for the bill in the House. “It’s not estimated, it’s not, ‘Well, we might be able to achieve this.’ This is a guarantee.”
For those of us outside Florida it seems almost impossible that poker would thrive in any state where experienced and professional players couldn’t put up more than $100 every time they sat down at the table, but it was a harsh reality for Florida residents. Hopefully this deal gets ushered in as fast as possible so that they can save some money that was typically spent on trips to Atlantic City and Vegas to get some real card action.
Florida gets major poker law adaptation
If attention were numbers, which still isn't poker in Florida something like a joke. The State currently introduced a number of odd restrictions substantially hinder the games, the player including a law that places a $100 max buy cap on all cash games provided. So yes, means that that some Florida map rooms $ 5-$ 10 no limit Hold'em are games where participants could only buy - for 10 big blinds in running. The terrible limitations have been driving crazy player for years, but it now seems that finally something can be relief in sight.
The Florida House approved a new business this week, the uncapped poker to the State, as long as the Governor seems to be signed on the invoice, by all indications to a certainty.Other changes that brings business to operate slot machines and host Blackjack Games on five of their seven casinos the right for the Seminoles, includes, as well as expand the operating hours of Poker Räume.Die be changes scheduled for an estimated $1 billion for the State and tribe in the next five years to bring.
"" This is a great post and a great commitment,"said Republic Bill Galvano (R-Bradenton), one of the main proponents of the Bill in the House."It is not appreciated, it is not, "well, we may be able to accomplish this.""This is a guarantee."
For those of us outside Florida it seems almost impossible poker in each State where could put experienced and professional players up to more than $100 each time, prosper if you put would be at the table, but it was a harsh reality for Florida Einwohner.Hoffentlich this deal gets begun to get as soon as possible so that as a rule, to save some money that was spent on trips to Vegas and Atlantic City, a real map action.

Three reasons for visiting the WSOP
I have the world series of poker in Las Vegas for the last couple of years, visited as viewers. Poker friends of my mine play in a couple of the $1,500-events, so usually my role for the week win so many tournament buy-in chips for you how I can through the single table satellites to always be executed. I usually do really well on this because my online poker SNG experience, combined with the number of unskilled tourists the games often. Between the satellite and the provider I'm usually pretty happy for the five days or so that I'm seeing. There are many other reasons to come down and take a look at the WSOP though, regardless of your skill level. Here are a few reasons why:
Professionals galore: If you like to gawk at each poker player and get the WSOP presents your hat signed by the biggest names in the game, the best opportunity.Virtually every major pro in the game is reflected in the WSOP at one point or another, and most of you are happy, take a picture with you and make sure something to unterzeichnen.Nur, keep not to interfere in some basic etiquette and the players, while you on a short break or obviously occupied with other responsibilities.
Poker tools spectacle: If you never for the WSOP, is the first thing you will blow away the sheer scope of the event.Hundreds of poker tables line the main ballroom, where the games are held and it is really a sight so many poker players in one place at a time to see.
Buy some swag:If you don't do a lot of online shopping, you will likely get a lot of opportunity, your hands on some good poker Ausrüstung.Nun, the WSOP usually has a decent number of poker-based vendor booths Setup, all card protectors of T-shirts and books to verkaufen.Viele of these elements can be hard to find, after the event, so come with some spending money in the hand.
Worlds best poker player signs with Full Tilt Poker.
Full Tilt Poker now has the best player in the world playing under their name, Tom “durrrr” Dwan.
Stuck in the shadows of poker superstars Phil Ivey and Patrik Antonius for the past few years, Tom “durrrr” Dwan has finally made his official mark as the best official Team Full Tilt member. Many have heard this household name, Tom Dwan, and it is to no surprise that he will be representing the site he has made his riches on.
Durrrr, a resident of New Jersey and college drop out from Boston University, found his way to Full Tilt Poker early in his college life. Starting at the low sit and go levels and cash games, Tom climbed his way to the top in anunordinary fashion. It didn’t take long for the buzz of Tom to hit the poker media.
Although Dwan is known for his mastery of play on the virtual tables, he has already showed great promise in the live game scene. Tom has scooped large pots from greats such as Gus Hansen, Barry Greenstein , and David Benyamine on popular poker shows Poker after Dark and High Stakes Poker. His real world success doesn’t end there though. Durrrr has already cashed three times in the World Series of Poker events, a 9th place finish at the National Heads-up Championship, and a WPT championship at Foxwoods. All of which exceed $1.1 million in tournament winnings.
After being on the scene and gaining some credibility, cocky Tom Dwan issued a heads-up challenge to anyone in the world, Tom’s $1.5 million to the challengers $500k. The bet sent shock waves through the poker world and no one was quite sure if he was for real. Patrik Antonius stepped up to the plate and is the first and only pursuer of durrrr’s $1.5 million. The bet is Tom will be ahead by any amount of a 50,000 hand period, if he is not, he will forfeit his $1.5 million. The session is already a few ten thousands of hands in. Durrrr as of right now, is up almost to $780k on Antonius.
You can often find Tom playing at the highest of games, NL Hold’em and Pot Limit Omaha. Look for Tom on Full Tilt Poker or on popular T.V. shows High Stakes Poker and Poker after Dark.

Phily Ivey Gets Own High Stakes Vegas Poker Room
This weekend Phil Ivey joined the very exclusive club of professional poker players honored with their own poker room in Las Vegas, with Bobby Baldwin being the only other player having received a similar honor. “The Ivey Room” made its debut this past weekend at the Aria Hotel, where inside sits a single poker table, multiple 42-inch flat-screen TVs, and direct access to over 480 safety deposit boxes at a private cashier’s cage. Player’s in the room can also enjoy complimentary beverage service and 24/7 table-side dining.
The room is situated next to the 24-table poker room that was unveiled at the Aria when it first opened back in December 2009. A special $1 million invitation-only freeroll event was used to launch the room on May 22nd, with the winner taking home $250,000 in prize money, with a $100,000 bounty also placed on Phil Ivey, making him a target for everyone in the tournament.
“We were thrilled that Phil agreed when we asked if he would consider putting his name on the room,” said Aria President Phil McBeath in an article in the Las Vegas Review-Journal. He continued, “Phil is a great guy, a longtime friend both of the MGM Mirage family and mine personally, and remains a fan favorite in the world of poker.”
The Aria appears to be courting Ivey heavily with hopes of having “The Big Game” moved from the Bellagio over to its own property, but no plans have been announced by any of the pros that frequently attend the game. It looks like “The Ivey Room” will run limit games in the $1,000/$2,000 range and no-limit games starting at $200/$400.
“I am honored that Bill and the entire team at ARIA have decided to place my name on their one-table high-limit room. With its recent opening in December, ARIA has established itself as a leader in the gaming industry and I look forward to playing at ARIA’s Poker Room soon,” Ivey said.

Play to their weakness, not your strength.
While playing your typical local game, or card room game, you need to be sure of your opponents moves, as well as your own. Most avid players will play plenty of home games against the same opponents, and be put into the same situations. Within these groups, there is always one strong player that usually ends in the black, or even by the end of the session, this person, should be you.
One of the most important factors of playing an opponent that you have great familiarity is utilizing his weakness against him. More often than not, you will be put in very similar situations with this player, and the structure of the hand will be completely the same. Also, the session will play out the same as it normally would (opponent(s) gets lucky, opponent(s) go bust).
To ensure that you finish the session ahead, you really only need to do two things, wait for cards (hardest part) and play to your friends/opponents WEAKNESS. You do not need the best hand every time to beat these guys, but it will sure help if they are weak players.
When in a hand against your friends(donks) ask yourself this every time if you bet, “How many of them WILL call this?” This is why it is very important to have good hands while playing these players. The more expected to call due to their poor judgment, should directly influence how much you will bet, if you decide to bet at all.
Here’s a situation: You are playing a 6 handed Hold’em game, blinds are .25/.50 everyone has about 60 big blinds, and you are on the button with 100 big blinds. Both UTG and second to act both call, hijack folds, it is on you, your cards read Ks Qs. In your typical online game, you would raise this instantly, but having poor players in the pot, you must tread lightly. You decide to raise $2, everyone calls. The flop comes 10s 6c 3h. Action checks around to you, you decide to take a stab at it with $4. SB folds, the rest call. Turn 8d.
By raising your button, you put pressure on yourself to continue action, and try to take down pots against dumbfounded opponents. The hand doesn’t need to play out because you get bet out on the turn, money lost, $6. Sure, it was only six bucks, but a loss is still a loss.
Knowing how your opponent will play against you, and how they will play regardless of the raiser that hand is vital to win these small cash/fun games. Control your betting by dictating how many will call, and find yourself a winner every night. It wont be long until you have the nuts and are getting 4 callers in the hand because they do not know any better.
Remember, play to your opponents weakness in these easy games before playing to your strengths.
Poker Pro Arrested for Murder
Marcus Bebb-Jones, a 46 year old poker professional from the United Kingdom, faces life in prison without the chances of parole for the murder of
his wife twelve years ago. Back in 1997 Bebb-Jones and his wife, Sabrina, owned a hotel in Grand Junction, Colorado when employees reported Sabrina to be missing. Marcus was not convicted at the time even though his wife’s blood was found inside his vehicle but the police could not locate Sabrina’s body so no arrest could be made.
A few days later report Marcus tried to commit suicide after being questioned by police but the suicide attempt failed. Marcus then decided to move to the UK along with his three year old son. Bebb -Jones decided to pick up the game of poker and ended up being very successful. Marcus became one of Britain’s premiere poker stars as he won the 2007Grosvenor Grand Prix event in Walsal and £90,000 for first place efforts.
In 2004 hikers found the skull remains of Sabrina and hikers then reported the skull to the police and since it took this long to convict Marcus he was able to play in that tournament. This week, Marcus was arrested at his mother’s home. He will be held in custody until the judge decides if Marcus will be eligible for deportation back to the United States. The final decision will ultimately be made by the Home Secretary. An U.S. Government state prosecutor had this to say regarding Marcus Bebb-Jones,
“Mr. Bebb-Jones is sought for the murder of his wife. He is responsible for the murder, and the deliberate concealment of it for many years. On the weekend following that incident it is said that Mr. Bebb-Jones went to Las Vegas and spent thousands of dollars – partially using credit cards in his wife’s name. He lived a playboy lifestyle in the course of that weekend which culminated in him putting a gun in his mouth and shooting himself in the head.”
“The upshot is that the case against him is very strong,” said the prosecutor. “This offence is so serious he faces life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.”
I am happy this criminal is being brought to justice but I am disgusted at the fact that he had the chance to taste freedom for the last twelve years.

Ban on Russian Poker Results in Gambling Increase as Police Become Overwhelmed
A few months back I reported that Russia underwent an extreme change when the government decided to place a ban on all casinos in the country, except in four designated zones. Professional gamblers and tens of thousands of casino/card room employees found themselves out of work immediately, with no other industry in which to use their skills. Now, the strict policy has begun to heavily backfire as underground casinos and poker dens are on the rise at such a pace that Russian police have been unable to keep up with enforcement.
Since July 1st 2009, the day that all poker rooms and casinos were closed down, police have confirmed that illegal gambling operations have popped up in a vast number of areas, many of which are run by ordinary gambling patrons. The most recent underground casino to be closed was a site hosted in an apartment in western Moscow. The casino was operated by a British citizen and consisted of two poker tables, two roulette wheels, 10 gambling machines and a bar. It is estimated that the operator generated tens of millions of rubles throughout the existence of his casino.
Police officials blame their inability to successfully find and shut down these establishments on a lack of available resources and manpower. They confirm that the number of illegal operations are steadily on the rise, with no quick solution in sight. There has been no word from the Russian government on whether or not they will reverse their policy, which was put in place as a way of removing gambling away from major cities and towns and instead forcing gamblers to the four designated gambling zones, which were in need of more tourism.

Join PokerStars in making HISTORY!
Be apart of history at PokerStars.com this December!
On December 27th 2009, you will have the opportunity to take part in the largest online tournament ever. Poker Stars is looking to end 2009 with a bang by eclipsing the 65,000 player Guinness World Record that was set in July 2009, previously by Poker Stars.
All of the details for the tournament are as followed:
Date: Sunday, December 27th 2009 at 14:45 ET
Buy-In: $1 (That’s right! One measly dollar)
Prize Pool: Guaranteed $300,000
Registration: Open now until the tournament start.
Satellites: Although the buy-in is low and at a minimum, you can still earn your entry free!
To find the tournament, go to the Poker Stars lobby, select “Tourney” then “ALL” or “Special.” You can also find the tournament using the Poker Stars search feature by typing in “record.”
Although this tournament is cheap and there will be plenty of people who aren’t premier players, you still need to play solid and methodically to cash. Be sure to stay out of sticky positions with middle pair, or an over pair to sequenced boards, and not to play your suited aces and unsuited ace kings too fast. Yes this is just $1 from your bankroll, but with a stunning win and some luck, you could find yourself another $75k richer.
Good luck, and hopefully you can end 2009 with a bang and win yourself a chunk of that $300,000 prize pool.

Pro SNG Tip: going for first or going broke
A common misconception many players who enjoy gambling SNG events is that, unless you make it into the money that normally three is the top, you do well. The problem with this logic is that in contrast to large field tournaments that substantial proposal for those who benefited, really in the final spots to place SNG payouts, but only add, if you win the single table tournament. Once you realize this will understand why so many SNG specialists stress that you always strive to win these SNG events and never satisfied with just make it into the money.
Now this is not to say that ruthlessly to play and play too much in the opening and medium-sized round a SNG, should, as this is not just good poker. You must never make it into the money with the chip lead (although it is beautiful), but once you are there, should be unwilling, can be in the hopes of catching premium hands or wait being "blinded" bust out to the other players to each other.People playing with this mentality are ready to settle with a third place and I hope maybe a second place Gets a different opponent klopfte.In reality should, however, that one make trains necessary, be your odds for a 1st place win better.
Once you have the money, you are to go always looking for ways to add your stack of chips.The fewer chips that have your opponent, the more likely are forced to play marginal hands, so hopefully this weakness profitieren.Wenn you very closely to play when it hit only two other players that are links to pick on you continuously, steal your blinds and bet from the pots.At this point you have lost control of the game and now only hope, luck with a major flop or some other unusual situation are to get.
2Nd place not ever consider an acceptable finish to View1 have back already won buy-in, once in the top three are, now it's time for the real profit to go pick your spots carefully and try to keep as much as possible in control of the game.
My 2010 WSOP plans
The world series of Poker is very soon kicking off and once again, I'm excited that I will be able to participate in the Trek down to Las Vegas for at least a week in so much of the annual festivities, make as possible. My birthday falls against end of June, which offers a perfect opportunity to the WSOP visit while the amount of most of the great events, what good for when I want to gawk at professionals and then hit the tables is.
I'm not all that interested so usually my WSOP poker experience on the single table events and cash games is held in large buy-in events. My father actually comes in a couple of $1,500 tournaments, so I try to help out as much as possible by winning so many tournament chips as possible in the numerous satellite events that provides the WSOP. The number of inexperienced players on these games is really incredible, and I am able to really some damage to do you know my online SNG.The only downside is that baring treated each page, you need to win these satellites, to win something so you again and again get the usual constants aggressive techniques as you can in a SNG where are the money to make once you, am I able to fairly easily customize the top three schlagen.Noch and usually a few of these satellites to win.
After I, my father a few buy-in the help - I like to meet, win the cash games though table selection is more important than since there sometimes is just how many sharks in the room as it'll fish sind.Ich usually scope from random tables for 15 minutes or so and get a feel for, how strong or weak players are and then try and at least plan which tables I to move when opened a place, as the chances of me always the exact table will I immediately want to slim.This cash games can be also very juicy because leverage the tourists with their wallets.
The rest of my trip is usually spent only riding, rail and many of the best players in their world watch their craft to Schärfen.gerade these guys and girls on TV no comparison is once you get a chance to see, how you play in person and that alone is reason enough to try and time for a quick to remember it for a full month is on this year's WSOP.Denken so see you can down, you definitely come to regret it won't.

To Play Poker Online You Got To Be Trained
If you have to play poker online you got to be trained.
You can get trained in poker with or without the help of a poker coach or a poker school.
Some players play poker just for fun, and some will be playing with a huge big dream of winning and making a lot of money, by winning in the poker sites at some point in life.
Those who play for fun might not necessarily have a poker coach; however, but those who are aspiring to get to some real good places in poker will do better with a poker coach.
Interestingly, when it comes to poker on line there is no need for everybody to go to a poker coach personally since every poker site is a poker school and when does play poker online they naturally get trained.
The teacher is always there in online poker it is just how the student make use of it.
There are several play poker online sites which does have tutors providing tutorial videos for absolutely free, some are paid though.
Those who are not interested in spending money or those who are not having sufficient money to spend on coaching will be able to get experience by watching such video coaching.

The Spanish Championship Has Begun
The World Poker Tour is in the process of finding its newest poker champion at the Barcelona Spanish Championship. This event had two start days which proved to draw a record breaking crowd to this event. The buy in for this championship event was an affordable €3,200 + €300 buy-in. Tournament Director Thomas Kremser announced that there were 326 players who entered which totaled the prize pool at over 1 million euro. The top 36 players will be paid. First place will take home €315,000, $25,500 seat to the WPT World Championship, and a Tiffany bracelet.
At the end of Day 2, only 44 players remained. Per Linde, the 3rd place finisher at the Grand Prix Paris event, ended the day with the chip lead. Edgars Strupka and Paulo Da Silva Pereira were trailing closely behind him. Although some players were hoping to make the money by Day 2, they would have to wait for the bubble to burst on Day 3.
Day 3 had 44 players return at their chance for a championship title. The top 36 players are guaranteed €4,900, and none of the remaining players wanted to go home with empty pockets. It was Erik Friberg who ended up being the bubble boy when he pushed with A 4 offsuit against the JJ of Mats Iremark.
As Day 3 came to a close, the final table was set. Nine hopefuls will return on Day 4 to battle for their chance to make poker history. Ali Tekintamac will go into the final table with the chip lead. Tristan Clemencon will have his work cut out for him, as he will be the short stack at the final table.

WPTE Founders Find Success Outside of Poker
Professional poker players and those in the poker industry are often involved in investment projects that exist outside of the realm of poker, but normally those investments don’t get a lot of attention. However, the original founders of World Poker Tour Enterprises have recently found themselves back in the limelight when it was discovered that the team had successfully managed to take the cash generated from the sale of their poker assets to Party Gaming and invest it into the energy industry.
The WPTE founders, comprised of Steven Lipscomb, Lyle Berman and Brad Berman, walked away from their poker company with $28 million in cash, and apparently have put a lot of that capital into Voyager Oil and Gas, a energy company based in Montana. The company was recently featured in the Los Angeles Business Journal, which talks about the role that Lipscomb and the Bermans now play in the business.
“I don’t think we have many unhappy shareholders,” Lyle Berman told the publication. “We thought if we could find a company with a great business model that needed cash, the stock would trade significantly above $1.40 … We have fulfilled that mission.”
As for their daily responsibilities within Voyager Oil and Gas, the trio admit to having none due to their lack of experience in the energy industry. They merely were just looking for a new project to fund that they felt could result in profitable gains, which is essentially why they formed the WPTE and launched the World Poker Tour in 2002.
“As I go into a different phase of my life, it’s time for me to thank everyone in the poker community,” Lipscomb told Card Player in December. “I know we’ve made decisions that were contentious and hard, but through all of that, I think there has been a tremendous amount of grace shown by people in the poker community.”
WPT Grand Prix De Paris
The World Poker Tour has returned to France for the WPT Prix de Paris tournament series at the Aviation Club de France. The Main Event is currently underway which has a €10,000 buy in. At total of 106 players entered into this event. The prize pool is a respectable €2,347,797 to be divided amongst 27 players with first place getting paid €633,902.
Players from all over the world have traveled to play this event. Bertrand ‘Elky’ Grospellier, Guillaume Darcourt, Thomas Bichon, Freddy Deeb, Men ‘The Master’ Nguyen, Isabelle Mercier, Theo Jorgenson, and Roberto Romanello are among those that have made appearances for this prestigious event. Of course the top French players like Arnaud Mattern Rui Cao, Nicolas Levi, and Ludovic Lacay showed up to represent their country.
The Main Event WPT Grand Prix de Paris run from May 8th until May 12th, with the final table on May 15th. The final table will be televised. There is also a high roller event that will run from May 14-16. The High Roller Event is a €20,000 buy in event which will also have some exciting coverage. This event will also be televised.
The Aviation Club is located in Paris on the Champs-Elysees, and it is home to some of the best cash games in Europe. In addition to some of the best poker action in Europe, the Aviation Club has other table games such as Baccarat, Poker Black Jack, Punto Banco, and Caribbean Stud Poker. There is something for every table game connoisseur at the Aviation Club.
WSOP Tournament of Champions Front-runners Revealed
The World Series of Poker decided to open up the selection process to the fans in regards to which poker pros will get a very exclusive seat at this year’s Tournament of Champions event. Of the 27 spots in the tournament, 20 of those positions will be decided through online voting in what basically boils down to the ultimate poker popularity contest. Harrah’s, who is running and supervising the progress of the poll, has released the names of the players that currently make up the top 20 in voters eyes, with few surprises showing up in the mix.
One thing that all of the front-runners have in common is that they tend to get the lions share of the media and marketing support, making them the most recognizable faces in the game, but not necessarily the most successfully players in all cases. There doesn’t appear to be a single name on the list that belongs to a player that tends to stay out of the limelight, though I would have to figure that some players are getting a lot of votes due to more recent success.
Five players don’t have to worry about getting enough votes, as five spots were pre-reserved for the last three Tournament of Champions winners (Mike Sexton, Mike Matusow and Annie Duke), and the current WSOP (Joe Cada) and WSOPE (Barry Shulman) champions. The remaining two spots in the tournament are being held for sponsor exemptions, and it’s likely that these will be given away through massive qualifier tournaments online.
The TOC isn’t just about increasing their popularity either, 1st place will take home a cool $500,000, needing only to survive three tables worth of opponents in the process. Voting ends midnight on June 15th, with more than 250,000 votes cast so far.

Party Poker Debuts Double Hold'em
Players at Party Poker may have noticed a new game offering. Double Hold'em is now offered in both play money and real money format at the popular online poker room. In Double Hold'em, players are dealt three cards instead of two. After the flop, players remaining in the hand must designate one of their three cards as the "point card". This card is moved above the other two hole cards to form a triangle. Players can then use the point card in conjunction with either of the other two hole cards to form the best five card poker hand.
For example, suppose one is dealt 9c 9h 2c. The flop comes 9s 4c 3c. Optimally, one would select the 9c as their point card. This gives them top set with one combination and a flush draw with the other combination. The extra decision required to determine one's point card combined with the increased action is likely to make these games considerably soft.
Visit Party Poker today to try Double Hold'em. By using bonus code , you can receive a first-time deposit bonus of 100% up to $500! Return to Poker News

Bluffing in World Series of poker should be done sensibly
Disbelieving all possible dangers is one way to make the most excellent in the World Series of Poker, but too much of prudence might take someone nowhere, a sensible risk should be taken, but a good player should know where problem can possibly peep if he has to dare to assume a challenge.
It is also promising that many times one might beat them by possibly folding a truly winning hand in poker tournament.
However, most of the time one should look for some strictly good reasons to fold some truly questionable hands in chief events like World Series of Poker.
Most of the time, the folding of questionable hands might confirm beneficial when the heads up players finally showdown, thus saving the player that folded the questionable hand with some loss of cash in playing poker.
Bluffing in World Series of poker should be done intelligently; most poker players are going to be the knowledgeable ones that might have done pages and pages of homework about how to crack bluffing in poker strategies.
So, bluffing without an adequate amount of expertise to do it might leave one with nothing other than getting caught and losing control over the table in poker club.

My 2010 WSOP Plans
The World Series of Poker is going to be kicking off very soon and once again I am excited that I will be able to make the trek back down to Las Vegas for at least a week to partake in as much of the annual festivities as possible. My birthday falls towards the end of June, which provides a perfect opportunity to visit the WSOP during the height of most of the big events, which is good for when I want to both gawk at pros and then hit up the tables myself.
I’m not all that interested in large buy-in events, so typically my WSOP poker experience is kept mainly to the single-table events and cash games. My Dad actually enters in a few of the $1,500 tournaments, so I try to help him out as much as possible by winning as many tournament chips as possible in the numerous satellite events that the WSOP makes available. The number of inexperienced players at these games is really incredible and I’m able to really do some damage thanks to my online SNG knowledge. The only drawback is that, baring any side deals, you have to win these satellites in order to win anything, so you can’t pull the usual constant aggressive techniques over and over again like you can in a SNG where you’ll make the money once you hit the top three. Still, I’m able to adjust pretty easily and normally end up winning a few of these satellites.
After I help my Dad win a few buy-ins I then like to hit up the cash games, though table selection is more important than ever since there are sometimes just as many sharks in the room as there are fish. Normally I’ll scope out random tables for 15min or so and get a feeling for how strong or weak the players are and then try and at least plan which tables I want to move to if a spot opens up, as the chances of me getting the exact table I want immediately is slim. These cash games can be very juicy too since the tourists come with their wallets full.
The rest of my trip is normally spent just riding the rail and watching many of the best players in their world hone their craft. Watching these guys and girls on TV is no comparison once you get the chance to see them play in person and that alone is reason enough to try and make time for a quick down to this year’s WSOP. Remember that it goes on for a full month, so see if you have the ability to come on down, you definitely won’t regret it.

Three Reasons to Visit the WSOP
I’ve attended the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas for the last couple of years, mainly as a spectator. Poker friends of my mine play in a few of the $1,500 events, so normally my role for the week is to win as many tournament buy-in chips for them as I can through the single-table satellites that are always running. I normally do really well at these considering my online poker SNG experience combined with the number of unskilled tourists that frequent the games. Between the satellites and the vendors, I’m normally pretty happy for the five days or so that I’m there. There are many other reasons to come down and check out the WSOP though, regardless of your skill level. Here are a few reasons why:
Pros Galore: If you like to gawk at pro poker players and get your hat signed by the biggest names in the game, the WSOP presents the best opportunity. Practically every major pro in the game shows up at the WSOP at one point or another, and most of them are happy to take a photo with you and sign something. Just make sure you adhere to some basic etiquette and not bother the players while they’re on a short break or obviously occupied with another responsibility.
Witness the Poker Spectacle: If you’ve never been to the WSOP, the first thing that will blow you away is the sheer scope of the event. Hundreds of poker tables line the main ballroom where the games take place, and it’s truly a sight to see so many poker players in one place at one time.
Buy Some Swag: Unless you do a lot of shopping online, you probably don’t get a lot of opportunity to get your hands on some good poker gear. Well, the WSOP normally has a decent number of poker-based vendors with booths setup, selling everything from t-shirts and books to card protectors. Many of these items can become hard to find after the event as well, so come with some spending money in hand.
