Negreanu knows what’s what in the world of poker
by Thursday,22 Sep 2011 Already a poker legend Daniel Negreanu is taking a bigger role behind the scenes Some of the biggest poker stars in the world are logging on to their PokerStars accounts in order to get in on the estimated $30 million dollars cash thats available in the PokerStars World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) event that is happening right now and continues for the best part of a month. One player who cant stop writing, tweeting and generally blabbing about the massive event is Canadian Poker mega star Daniel Negreanu. This player is one of the most instantly recognisable faces of the game and is constantly appearing on television in both live events as well as online games. In the wake of the Black Friday events Negreanu left his home in Las Vegas, Nevada and returned to his native Canada in order to continue playing the online game. The WCOOP will provide him with an excellent opportunity to ensure that this was the right decision as he looks to grab a big piece of the pot in the coming days. As one of the faces of PokerStars Negreanu is often talking about their events and issues, recently he tweeted about their technical issues to reassure players that they were under control. He is known not to shy away from the major issues of the day and strongly criticised Full Tilt Poker when they were involved in a spat with fellow poker megastar Phil Ivey over their refusal to payback their players funds. The Canadian player isnt just valued for his poker skills but also for his business acumen. The Vice President of the World Series of Poker (WSOP), Ty Stewart, said of Negreanu that “He’s the complete package. There are many brilliant thinkers on the poker side but he understands the business and marketing side as well as anyone is able to.” He even went as far as saying Id happily work for him one day. Negreanu is known for associating not just with poker players but also with the executives who run the tournaments, offering advice on how to improve their services and attract more players. Even Phil Helmuth admits that Negreanu is one helluva businessman saying “Yeah, he’s definitely a good ambassador for poker,” Hellmuth admitted. “He’s a really good one, maybe great. He generates a lot of interest amongst fans all across the planet. People want to watch him play, hear his shtick, you know?

So what now for poker affiliates?

So what now for poker affiliates?
Im not going to lie, things are tough for most poker affiliates. The affiliates that are doing well are the ones who promoted Pokerstars in Europe or Carbon Poker. Black Friday has had a extremely negative effect on the online poker industry. No doubt that Pokerstars, Zynga, Wynn, 888, and Caesars will all emerge smelling like roses. Rest assured that the elimination of Full Tilt Poker was pre-planned to dispose of the competition. This is where normal people say What are you going to Do?. Well, Im anything but normal. Im doing things and remaining decisive, because if I dont, I will quickly go broke. Im working every day to sell non poker and poker domains. Im going to revamp this site, not that it was pimped out at any point, but spend some serious time working on removing old links, the WP theme, and building up my content business again. With a little bit of hard work and luck, I can make a comeback. Outsource your programming for less.

Justin Bonomo sets up his poker game in Malta
by Thursday,1 Sep 2011 In the wake of Black Friday, Justin Bonomo has left the US to play poker in Malta Yet another former online poker professional based in the United States has left the country in order to continue playing the online game. The latest player to up and leave is the poker sensation, Justin Bonomo. The 25 year old up and coming poker star has relocated to Malta in the Mediterranean in order to continue playing online. He joins a distinguished list of world famous players to leave the United States, including such legends as Phil Galfond, Olivier Busquet and Daniel Negreanu to name but a few. Most US players who leave the states in order to play online have opted to head North to Canada with others heading South towards Costa Rica and Central America.Poker in the United States is going to be missing out on a lot of talented live players as they all move abroad and Bonomo is no exception to this. Bonomo, along with every other US poker pro, has seen his earnings drop massively in the wake of the crackdown on online poker by the US Department of Justice (DoJ). This loss of earnings is undoubtedly what prompted him to head for the small island in the middle of the Mediterranean. The young player has already earned close to $3 million from live tournaments alone and is likely to once again take the online world by storm once he is up and running.Amongst other things, Bonomo won an event at the 2009 World Series of Poker Circuit at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas is going to arrive in Malta in time to participate in the huge World Poker Tour (WPT) Malta event on September 20th which, like all WPT events, is likely to have a prize pool of a somewhere around the 1 million mark.The trouble for online gamers began on April 15th when the DoJ came down on the three biggest online poker sites in the world in what has come to be called Black Friday. On this day it became almost impossible for US players to find an online game that they could register into. What was then the second largest online poker site in the world, Full Tilt Poker, never recovered from the problems they encountered then and has since ceased operating, at least temporarily.

The Gold Rush Poker platform is adopted by ICON
by Sunday,11 Sep 2011 In the space between online poker and the law ICON are able to offer online poker services Since the United States Department of Justice (DoJ) ejected the top three online poker sites in the world from the US market some crazy things have been happening in the poker world over in the USA. The first thing that happened was a lot of former online pros upped sticks and left the US for a country where online poker is still legal, Canada being the destination of choice for most pros who have left. Other things have happened also, the live game in the United States has picked up in pace and in popularity. The pros who stayed have no option but to play more in casinos. Another thing that has changed is the business of poker where new companies and websites have sprouted to fill the void between the law and the desire of fans to carry on playing. One of these websites is the Independent Casino Online Network (ICON), this network has created a space whereby it can legally provide online poker services in the United States without breaking the law. This is because instead of awarding cash for each win, points are awarded which can then be traded in for expensive items such as cars, computers and ipods. The people at ICON have announced that they intend to operate Gold Rush Poker as their official poker platform. The guys at ICON have established a network allowing other casinos to participate in their poker services. By establishing a network that is open to all casinos ICON are smoothly taking market share so that when online poker is legalised they will already have all of the casinos signed up to their network. When poker is legalised again they will simply awarding cash instead of points to their poker players. The Gold Rush Poker network is a very high tech poker system that provides a really impressive platform for online poker players to practise their game. Of the partnership between ICON and Gold Rush John George the CEO of Gold rush said that “We are excited to be associated with another forward thinking companyThis partnership sets us up to be at the forefront of the future of American online gaming. By using our platform, casinos will be able to increase profit by tapping into our player base and strategic marketing campaigns. This is a great opportunity.”

Betting Strategy at Three Card Poker

Betting Strategy at Three Card Poker
Although this table game uses the hand rankings and general concept of poker, it lacks the subtlety and skill of variations like Texas holdem and seven card stud, where the players compete directly with one another. In fact, three card poker is even simpler to play than blackjack, in which the player must learn the optimal decision for each set of hands in relation to the dealers up card. Three card poker involves only three decisions: Is it worth playing due to the payout structure? Should I bet the Pair Plus? Do I fold or play my hand? Lets start with the first question. While roughly similar, there are several different payout structures on the ante bet, which vary from casino to casino. Fortunately, the difference in house edge in almost all of these structures is less than 1%. When choosing where to play, your best option will be a table that pays 5 to 1 on a straight flush and 4 to 1 on three of a kind, although 3 to 1 isnt much worse. You should be aware, however, that there are some casinos that do not pay a bonus on the ante when the player makes a straight, improving the house edge. If possible, avoid three card poker at these casinos, even if a special payout for a Mini Royal Flush is offered. The next decision you need to make is whether or not to play the Pair Plus circle. A friend of mine once told me a story about how his father had won a lot of money using the strategy of betting on the Pair Plus, as if this were some sort of expert move. On the contrary, the Pair Plus is often seen as a sucker bet, as it serves merely to increase the house edge, though the prospect of a big payday on a straight flush is certainly enticing. The most common pay structure, in which a flush pays 3 to 1, is actually the least favorable to the player. In general, play at places that offer 4 to 1 odds on a flush and 6 to 1 on a straight; the other hands are rare enough that slight variations in the payout do not much matter. If youve decided to play in the game at all, you must then choose to fold or play your hand each round. Fortunately, this is probably the easiest decision of all: bet the Play if your hand is Q-6-4 or better and fold if it is lower. In other words, play any hand that contains a king, any hand that contains a queen and a seven or better, and any hand that contains a queen, a six, and a four or better. This hand is the cutoff point for where the player begins to lose less than he would lose by folding. Using this strategy and betting the Pair Plus would give the house an edge of a little over 5%, which is higher than blackjack and some bets on the craps table but not too bad when compared with many of the other bets in the casino.

Big name talent prepares for poker awards

Big name talent prepares for poker awards
by Tuesday,6 Sep 2011 The British Poker Awards are an excellent showcase for the massive talent that Britain has produced The British Poker Awards are getting closer and closer and the jury is still out as to which players are most likely to win. With a sterling performance from UK players at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) 2011 it is likely that there are going to be some new names mixed in with the old favourites. Players such as Jake Cody had a massive WSOP, winning over $800,000 for taking the winners bracelet in the $25,000 heads up no limit hold em event. He has the nomination for Best Tournament Player and Best Online Player. These are going to be difficult to win however as there are some massive poker names nominated alongside him in the form of Sam Trickett and Roberto Romanello for the title of Best tournament Player. Trickett first shot to poker fame during the 2010 WSOP where he cashed in no less than 6 separate events and then went on to storm his way through Asia, first at the Aussie millions and then in China when he won a reputed one and a half million dollars from high stakes cash games alone. More recently he just made 11th place at the Epic Poker Leagues (EPL) inaugural tournament for a prize of just under $50,000. Roberto Romanello is making a name for himself on the European Poker circuit. He won the World Poker Tour (WPT) Bratislava event earlier this year for a prize of $197,000 and the EPT Prague last year for a prize of $846,000. Managing to maintain the momentum, Trickett has been nominated in three categories this year. As well as the nomination for best Best Tournament Player he has the nominations for Best Cash Player and Best Social Media User. The Best cash Player is a massive title to win, other nominees include Roland de Wolfe and Richard Ashby. De Wolfe is a well known celebrity after having been playing on televisions Late Night Poker and at one point was the UKs highest earning poker player. He is also the first player ever to win both WPT and EPT events which he did in 2006. Ashby holds a WSOP winners bracelet for taking the seven card stud event in 2010, he also won the Aussie millions. The field of British poker pros is really an ever expanding pool of some really big names and it seems that there are always new players coming along to make it look easy.
