2008-06-06 21:03:00 This is to tell about Duplicatepoker.com as a legal online poker room. The site has a different approach towards playing poker online.

Poker Health : The Pinky Brain
2008-06-05 02:46:00 Some more again, these chained emails came to me. Some of these points actually sound quite convincing to me but it is better to leave it to your own interpretation.No Breakfast. People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level. This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.Overeating. It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.Smoking. It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.High Sugar consumption. Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.Air Pollution. The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.Sleep Deprivation. Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.Head covered wh... More About: Poker , Health , Brain , Pinky
Poker Bot vs Anti Bot
2008-06-04 00:58:00 Recently the new news surfaced about a network using an intelligent bot to scan for poker bots. This intelligent bot or Bot Guard will be able to search and destroy locate poker bots playing poker across their networked of online poker rooms. Such purpose is to prevent cheating of the wrong kind.Should these poker bots really be a threat to ordinary human poker players? IMO this shouldn't really be a problem to players. The bots are merely software programs coded to play poker. If it is not a large scale commercial poker bot, it is not really that much of a scare.A normal poker bot will most likely be programmed by one or two enthusiastic programmers hoping to strike a goldmine. Any poker gameplays performed by this bot will reflect more on the programmer's poker playing skill. Afterall they are the ones that need to encode their poker skills into mathematical algorithm that can be discern by the bot.Unless the bot consumes the power of supercomputers and have investments from big...

Poker Health : Liver
2008-05-27 15:22:00 A poker player might not have the appropriate sleep that normal person would. Often times, the normal sleeping pattern are neglected for more poker time. Sometimes depending on the occassion, the night can be working time and the day, sleeping time. A chained email that I received listed that as possible cause to liver damage. Below is the rest. This may be informative.Sleeping too late and waking up too late are main cause.Not urinating in the morning.Too much eating.Skipping breakfast. Consuming too much medication.Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring , and artificial sweetener.Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit.Consuming raw (overly done) foods also add to the burden of liver. Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sittin... More About: Poker , Health , Liver
Occupational Safety And Health For Poker Players
2008-05-23 08:14:00 Playing poker can be a chore and might pose a risk to a player's health just as any job could bring. Being either working in a plant, factory or any desk to desk activities in any working conditions of a job, OSHA might come into play. A small list of possible threats :Playing poker for a living may consume most of your waking time in front of a computer. This could mean countless hours in a fixed position and less mobile activities. In such a fixed position it is easy to get numb.Depending on the working environment, sometimes not having enough air circulation can cause some breathing difficulties. In a closed environment, there might not be enough fresh air intake. Spending most of the time indoor, the air will become stale and the only air inhaled is the air exhaled.Having the eye glued to a monitor might cause a strain to the eye. The eye is one of the most sensitive part of a body. It might not seem important but it is sometimes a matter that are often overlooked.The part of t... More About: Poker , Health , Safety , Players
Can Pitbullpoker Be Profitable?
2008-05-19 03:25:00 A year ago I have mentioned about Pitbullpoker as one of the online poker rooms out there. Looking back, they still have players playing at their room and I believe they have more exposure now today than before. So what's going on?I initially set up this blog with the idea of promoting Pitbullpoker. They offer the only way for people to play poker online using flash. No need to install any software. No need to use Java. It is easy to get anyone to play.I have about $60 in my account doing nothing. Not interested in making any withdrawals, the money is still there a year later.After a year, I visited the site and found they have more players playing their freerolls than before. They have open up their capped freerolls so more people can join. Back then, you have to really put your mouse next to the 'register' button to reserve your seat in their game.The reason I don't feel comfortable playing and talking about their room is that I found there are always more players playing thei...

Do You Want To Be A Grinder?
2008-05-10 05:18:00 I have been playing around with sngs lately and honestly considered that sngs are the cash game version for tournaments format. You can continue to grind and grind to your heart's content. That is what we people do when we are not able to reach that final table. But some sngs grinder can really churned out awesome money.So how far does the rabbit hole go? My profit and loss across several sites has gone stalemate for nearly 2 weeks now. Damn bloody annoying. Making one profit on one place and losses on another. And then have to slowly claw back up.I got tilted much faster too. As i play more games and chasing some points, tilt come following. I wasn't really feeling tilted but that tool says i am which makes me look like a fish in other everyone's eyes. Unbelievable!You can get to experience some swings that come and go along with your session. And to take that beating like a man.Sometimes the games can get very very boring. I am not joking.

Getting In The Nude With Poker
2008-04-18 12:20:00 Apparently you can go very far with poker these days. You can try to be a poker evangelist, getting it out to people how bad good online poker is, or maybe building yourself a thriving poker business at the same time. Not far from that, there are support systems such as conventions and expos to help everyone.Just not long ago, i stumbled about the Asian i-Gaming Congress & Expo held in Macau on 26-28 February. With it, a lot of exhibitionists were there displaying their company it seems. And rightly after, the affiliate convention in Amsterdam. Interesting story was spilled over by Billrini about a rooster in love with Full Tilt affiliate manager.So that is how Full Tilt affiliate manager looks like eh.And apparently, if you are a female poker player, blond and ready to bare all, why not grace us by being in a Playboy magazine.

Coming Tournament : India Poker Tour 2008
2008-04-13 15:43:00 Coming soon in the next few months is a poker tournament that may sound like a hybrid of the Poker Stars version of APPT. When everyone's focus is on the WSOP, this particular tournament is making its own momentum. Expecting to start off in September 2008 , the India Poker Tour (IPT) is set to get 4 champions from 4 main cities in India and in the end one grand champion.The first city to start this tour is Mumbai followed by Bangalore, Delhi and Goa. If Jason Bourne still plans to retire in Goa after finding out his true identity, it might just provide an added incentive to be there.Not exactly sure why it has to be India and not say China, Thailand or Taiwan poker tour. But having a big poker event in Asian countries has got to be a complicated matter. India, a country in its own accord, has excel in many feat such as cricket, chess and now poker.

ePassporte Folding Poker Players
2008-04-12 17:23:00 The news is up and apparently the most favored ewallet for Americans have now no longer able to provide their services to poker players. This long time favourite method of Americans will be missed greatly as it is or was the most sought method for players looking to deposit into online poker rooms.Any poker rooms that are poker only will have ePassporte as a funding option. Now that ePassporte had shy away from this industry-wide, it is believe now that the biggest question is, "How can Americans make deposit online?".

It's Back To Business!
2008-04-07 18:03:00 I am profitable again. There is a twist to it, i'm no longer playing MTT tournaments. The theme now is 'Make More Money Playing Sit And Go'. Since the final table is so unreachable for now, i might as well make more money this way. It is too tiring playing MTT, as if i am getting older. Those evil randomness of cards might be to blame.I'm not too fond of saying how much i earned. We don't really have a fixed salary you know. It's changing. You might win some today and lose it the next. Most importantly is how much nett gained through the end. As Matt Matros said, it is not how profitable you are in a single poker session but how profitable you are for life! You can find this in his book, 'The Making of A Poker Player'. I was just sniffing through the book. Didn't read it all.Those last March's games were quite profitable despite the beats. Only thing is, i should be making more!

Poker Digest Of The Day
2008-03-16 19:53:00 Stu Ungar says :It's hard work. Gambling. Playing poker. Don't let anyone tell you different. Think about what it's like sitting at a poker table with people whose only goal is to cut your throat, take your money, and leave you out back talking to yourself about what went wrong inside.Sometimes you feel like somebody is squeezing your nuts! You are left out bedazzled on what just happened. You thought you are playing the game and had all the stars aligned as best as it can be. It is not.Had i known i'll be taken to the tightest table there are, i probably wouldn't be buying in. I don't know if you would say it was a tight table, to me it was. The game approaches almost middle-game where the payouts were close. What happened next was a series of take-it-or-leave-it sushi dishes served in front of you on a trolley tray. These array of dishes comes and goes for 4 blind levels.That middle position player goes all-in and everybody elses folded. Next, another player goes all-in a... More About: Poker , Digest

Having a good internet connection is like a lifeline for any of your online poker games.I was playing in a tournament where the disconnection happened and seeing in front of me holding pocket kings! I needed to bet this one badly or pushed all-in because am getting desperate with my chip stack. I was doing average before until when my pocket kings all-in move in a three way pot got cracked with pocket aces! Was so sure i am going to get rich now. It left me hovering around 1k plus chips.You can go pissing yourself off seeing your top pair folded. Literally have to close the software and open up again.

Making Money While Away From Poker Postings
2008-03-06 06:24:00 I was away and did not catch some time to follow on with some posts here. Have been busy with other areas on a few other sites that i am having and also spending some time on the online felt. It is official now that i have finally reached three figures on one of the many poker rooms i played at.It happened so fast, i'm not sure if i remember the sequence to how it happened. Bear in mind it started from zero figure.All of a sudden, it just came that the reason the final table is so alluring and why everybody is always talking about the final table. You heard it in the tour and you hear it everywhere. But i thought it was over sensationalised. Final table is where the money is. Nobody would bother if you win yourself multiples of $10, $20, $30 or more. Not for me now at least.

BackgammonMasters Have Poker
2008-02-23 01:48:00 Before, it was mentioned they have backgammon for online games. Now, BackgammonMasters does offer poker games in the form of Texas Holdem Poker . As you look into their game lobby, you can find poker as one of the other games that were offered. At the time of writing, there are no players spotted playing poker there. Players that you can find available are mostly in backgammon games.The plan in the pipeline as heard was its multi player Texas Holdem Poker platform will be integrated into remote gaming terminals targeting remote gaming markets. This will be done for betting terminals in coffee shops, bars and other entertainment hotspots. How they intend to make this a realisation, i do not know.I believe how it works is that, potential players will have the option of swiping their credit card for instant play. They will be able to create an account and access their poker account anywhere along those terminals. They will be able to perform several transactions, just like using compute...

BackgammonMasters Game Lobby
2008-02-20 02:58:00 The only connection that probably relates a game of backgammon and poker could most best be represented by Danish profesional poker player, Gus Hansen. He is one of the most feared poker players due to his aggressive style and known to have brought in his experiences from backgammon to his poker games.BackgammonMasters would want to offer similar opportunities for playing online backgammon to players. It had just revamped its game lobby design and added several casino games together with the ever popular blackjack game. It seeks to cater to online players that plays casino games and would have similar interest to playing backgammon.The most closest relation to poker since their integration of casino systems is blackjack. A blackjack game may not match the intense game of poker, it does have its own basic rules that a player can learn to apply. It is a simple game. Perhaps a simple analogy would be to equate it with draw poker as you are basically drawing cards.Although the number of... More About: Game

Filipino Poker Tour
More articles from this author:2008-01-27 01:02:00 Some nose sniffing around caught me great pleasure to know that there is something going on at the Asia Pacific region. In actuality i've been following on this ever since the last APPT. I can't deny the fact that Phlippines indeed have an affinity towards poker. It seems to be growing non-stop.Building on the previous APPT, Phlippines now have Filipino Poker Tour which started yesterday on Jan 26. And they are partnering with PokerStars to make this a success. This tournament which will take 2 days will be at their very own card club, Metro Card Club. It even has its own website. Very cool.Why am i featuring it here is because they are doing so well, i think it is something that needs to be look up to. I do not really know any of the players from there or am affiliated with them. It is the sentiments that something is happening at this region that is good to hear. Sooner or later the whole world will get to know about poker more better than they really are.Related post,PokerStars... 1, 2, 3 |
