Vancouver is great for all of us US online poker players.

2011-10-08T14:30:00.000-07:00

Or at least those of us who were making $60K a year at PokerStars or FullTilt and can afford the move.
The rest of us low limit grinders will have to tough it out here in the States until Teddy KGB, in the person of the US Department of Justice, finishes it's bad behavior and we finally regain the right to play online.

Click here to see how some of our more fortunate online poker playing brethren are doing in the other "Land of the Free", Vancouver, Canada.

Daniel Negreanu's Jedi Mind Trick

2011-10-05T12:48:00.000-07:00

Daniel is my hero.

Must be interesting to know that your opponents have watched you play lotsa hands on teevee and base their expectations of how you'll be playing on what they've seen.
So when you know that they think they know this or that about you, how do you play based on what you suspect may be their thinking? Too deep for me.

Banned PokerStars TV Ad

2011-09-30T13:28:00.000-07:00

Not safe to show to the kids, that's for sure. Unless they've already watched Scarface a dozen times and play Grand Theft Auto on a regular basis.

You Don’t Get To 20 Million Friends Without Making A Few Enemies

2011-04-17T13:10:00.000-07:00

So the Online Poker Black Friday has come and gone. The inappropriately named US Department of Justice did a bad, bad thing, came down on the biggest players in the online poker world just to flex its political and financial muscle. End of the world? Hardly. Just like back in 2006 when the UGIEA was tacked onto the Safe Ports Act there will be a period in which no one is really sure how things will shake out. The easy access of the past few years has been crippled. While FullTilt and PokerStars are out of the US market there are still online poker rooms like Cake and Carbon Poker which have good reps and are still taking US players, so you can get your Texas hold 'em fix. Will players flock to those rooms? Too soon to tell. Will players be able to deposit and withdraw funds as easily as they did with FT and 'Stars? Again, we'll have to wait and see.

Industry insiders are predicting that within two years we'll be able to play online at rooms like Harrahs.com and Wynn.com, and rooms like those will be the big players in the US. For what it's worth, if you live in the US, call and write your Congressional representatives and politely express your outrage. While it's unlikely that any Senator or Representative will want to oppose the DOJ's move with elections coming up it is time to get the ball rolling. Talk to the clowns who represent you and let them know the the unjust behavior of the Justice Dept. is a crime against your individual rights.

Also it wouldn't hurt to add your voice to a large group of outraged citizens.
The Poker Players Alliance

Most importantly: don't panic.

For those of you fortunate enough to live in more civilized countries PokerStars is still offering poker 24/7.

bad behavior at the Main Event of the WSOP

2010-05-15T14:50:00.000-07:00

So let's say you're playing in the Main Event of the World Series of Poker and you make a straight flush on the river. And let's say your opponent is Jennifer Harman, a world class poker player, and a lady. How do you act, how do you behave when revealing your unbeatable monster? You've got a world class hand, and you know you're about to take a world class pot. Do you act like a gentleman or like a world class schmuck? Like Corey Zeidman.

Would you take a machete with you when robbing a casino?

2010-03-08T13:00:00.000-08:00

Not your standard smash and grab fer sure.

"Yesterday at approximately 2.15pm, an armed robbery took place at the European Poker Tour (EPT) event in Berlin. Nobody was seriously injured. Four armed men were involved in the robbery which targeted the tournament registration desk outside the tournament area.

No shots were fired and the suspects quickly fled after a security guard intervened. The police investigation so far has shown that the suspects had a handgun and a machete. Contrary to tabloid reports, no Kalashnikov assault rifles or hand grenades were used. The suspects did not enter the tournament area and the money taken was substantially less than what has been reported.

The tournament resumed after a few hours and a police investigation is now under way. The tournament is taking place on the first floor of the Grand Hyatt Hotel at Marlene-Dietrich-Platz and is being held by SPIELBANK Berlin Casino."
== EPT Berlin robbery statement - posted 07.03.10

Can't imagine this happening at the WSOP in Vegas, although it sounds like a good jumping off point for Ocean's 14. I see a Norman Chad look-alike (played by Paul Giamatti) clutching his chest as a bullet enters his body, and muttering, "I got whamboozled" before collapsing in Lon McEachern's arms.

Online Poker Getting Boring?

2010-01-27T18:17:00.000-08:00

Yeah, it's easy to let your concentration slip when you're single tabling. But FullTilt Poker has come up with an awesome cure: Rush Poker. Now you can allegedly play as many as 300 hands per hour. The idea is that once you fold your hand you are immediately "rushed" to another table with a whole new set of players and are right back in the action. If you're not already at FullTilt click here to download their free software. Then go here for FullTilt's Rush Poker promo page complete with a video to fill you in on all the details.
As always FullTilt will match your first deposit up to $600. ( Extra cash to place Rush poker with )

Good luck at the tables.

"Before I played in the biggest games with Chip, I used to stop by the game and take a look at who was playing. I wanted to play, but it would have taken my entire bankroll. Chip would always try to entice any potential players into playing in the game. He was the king of the hill. He used to say to me in his somewhat patronizing way that we now teasingly call Chip-talk, “Buddy, we’ve got the perfect game for you. We’re playing all of your best games. I can’t believe you’re not gonna take a shot.”"
