Guinness World Record Largest Online Poker Tournament

Posted under Poker & poker celebrities & texas hold em

Full Tilt Poker will attempt to stamp its name on the Guinness Records and to do so; the site has announced that it will try to set a new record for the Largest Online Poker Tournament. Full Tilt’s Record Breaker tournament was unveiled as the finale to FIVE, a week of events and promotions created exclusively to celebrate the site’s 5th anniversary. The tournament will take place on July 19th at 15:05ET, players can buy in for this event for only $5 or 1000 Full Tilt Points and compete for a share of a $250,000 guaranteed with $250,000 added prize pool. Players can also get entries to this event by playing the online satellites available on the site and starting for as little as 30 cents or 50 Full Tilt Points.

Team Full Tilt pros and WSOP bracelet winners Howard Lederer, Chris Ferguson and Phil Ivey have already confirmed they will take part in the event, offering players the chance to sit down at this historic tournament and play with some of the best high stakes and tournament pros in the world.

“By extending the limits of what is possible in online poker tournaments, Full Tilt Poker will allow players to compete for a big payout without the big buy-in,” said Team Full Tilt member Howard Lederer.

Putting together a poker tournament of this magnitude would be nearly impossible for any brick and mortar casino or poker room. The current record for the largest “live” poker tournament was set at the 2006 WSOP Main Event with 8,772 players. To break the current Guinness Record set by PokeStars.com in December, 2008, Full Tilt Poker will need to attract over 35.000 players. If successful, this tournament will establish Full Tilt Poker as World Record holder and cement its reputation as a world leader in online poker industry.

Is Boasting in Poker Tournaments a Good Thing or a Bad Thing?

Posted under Poker & poker tournament & texas hold em

poker
The most hated individuals at the Texas Hold’em Poker table the majority of times will forever be the attention-seeker. You know the person I’m telling you about. He’s the poker player that pulls up a chair at the poker table and makes clear you’re mindful that he desires all of your poker chips; exiting the Texas Hold’em Poker table with the very same posture that he showed-up with. Even if this guy loses, he has the idea that he is the greatest no-limit Texas Hold’em player hands down.

Whilst the bulk of no-limit Texas Hold’em players would preferably avoid rivals of this category, there exist other poker players who could say that bragging could have its advantages. So, the question is: Is there in all reality a clever Texas Hold’em show-off or a bad poker bragger? Show-boating about how accomplished you are in poker is basically just like stating: “I am the greatest Texas Hold’em player on the planet, always remember to be on the ball while you’re competing in a poker game against me!” That’s about the most awful vibe to send out playing no limit Texas Hold’em poker. Furthermore, giving away too much about your Texas Hold’em Poker playing method can be negative to your Texas Hold’em Poker game. You undeniably do not want these individuals to have an idea about how you play specific poker hands.

Also there are those Texas Hold’em Poker competitors who might utilize bragging as a manner of Texas Hold’em technique, or bluff. Shooting off your mouth when you get a certain no limit Texas Hold’em poker hand might possibly throw your opponents for a loop and puzzle them about your no limit Texas Hold’em poker playing technique. There are a few people who might think that this technique a bit deceitful, but it is significant to bear in mind that there aren’t tons of rules against it in no limit Texas Hold’em poker. Texas Hold’em is all about making a dollar out of fifteen cents and exploiting it to the end.

Online Poker Special Program will be featured on CBS’ 60 Minutes

Posted under Poker & gambling & texas hold em

dan druff
This Sunday, November 30th the CBS network will present their documentary “How Online Gamblers Unmasked Cheaters”. This documentary was shot after a 4 month investigation into the online Texas Hold’em poker business and exclusively a scam in relation to the online Texas Hold’em webpage Absolute Poker.

This poker website was investigated after a number of the Texas Hold’em players on the website alleged that a player was unduly winning an incredible amount of money. Todd Witteles was a significant player in this investigation, according to him; he was losing large amounts of money to the exact same Texas Hold’em poker player. Witteles declared that this poker player was raising against awfully good cards, most people would have assumed he was simply giving his money to the other players, but he was in reality winning money.

Witteles was correct with his theories, much later it was shown that a poker player on the inside was able to view any poker player’s poker hole cards. At first, Absolute Poker proclaimed that nothing was wrong with the room or the poker competitor. After numerous players stepped up with allegations, the Texas Hold’em poker website explored deeper into the issue and discovered wrongdoing.

By Jan. of this year, the gaming commission revealed what the poker competitors and the Texas Hold’em website had suspected all the time. The investigation proved that, there was a member of the staff who had hacked the poker webpage’s security system and was playing unlawfully for more or less six weeks. The investigation showed that the Texas Hold’em website had not gained from the dishonest actions in any way, and was in no way engaged in the activities.

These circumstances are further testimony that there needs to be more laws in regards to online Texas hold’em sites. The US government needs to license and control the online gambling business to shield these honorable consumers. These rules would also control the access to these websites by kids, which is becoming another problem issue recently.

Could I really make money by Playing Online Poker?

Posted under Poker & learning poker & texas hold em

poker winners
Take a second to imagine if you were to have a conversation with any ordinary person off the street about poker, they probably wouldn’t deem online poker to be a game of tactics, careful planning, or study. Probably when you mention poker with them, they would probably imagine some poker buddies sitting around their TV room chatting and smoking cigarettes. They also could believe online poker to be a game of luck as opposed to skill, more similar to a game of roulette and not chess, for instance.

So the big question is: “Would it be possible for me to make money by playing in poker tournaments?”. You may have your doubts but, you can actually make money this way. More than a few folks not just come out on top by playing online poker, but also make a living by playing texas Hold’em poker. The main thing you have to remember about Texas Hold’em is that although you can play in a Las Vegas casino, close to craps tables and slot machines; in Texas Hold’em poker you are not playing against the house but against other Texas Hold’em poker players. Hence, in reality, you are risking your cash against other rivals in a contest of ability as opposed to a game of fate.

You might be saying to yourself: “Doesn’t chance play a part?” Obviously in online poker, nobody knows which hands will be dealt. That doesn’t indicate that you cannot play Texas Hold’em with a reliable quantity of pre-game know-how. One crucial point to not forget in online Texas Hold’em poker is that numbers will be your best friend. Math has a very essential role in the game of Texas Hold’em. So much so, that even if you get fairly fortunate ever so often the figures always seem to bring you back down to earth.

Always remember that Vegas casino table games such as online poker where you are really competing vs. other actual players CAN be won. The more you play the game of online Texas Hold’em poker, you will notice that it is more of game of talent as opposed to natural fate.

Several Tips for reading poker tells

Posted under Poker & poker tips & texas hold em

poker
A vital aspect in the game of Texas Hold em is deceiving your opponents by leading them to believe you have a superb poker hand, when in all honesty you could possibly you have the worst hand at the table. This is popularly known as “Poker face”, a straight expression to mislead your competitors into buying an idea that might be false.

Having a good hand is most likely going make you feel more anxious, could possibly make your hands shake, and your pulse race. These are pretty obvious signs that your opponents may see very quickly, especially if you have been playing with them for some time. Keep in mind not to look at the pot if you hold some decent poker cards. This is a tell-tale sign to the other players that you are, in your mind, counting how much you will possibly win.

In the situation where you have a terrible poker hand, try not to keep yourself from glancing at your poker buddies, keep your eyes up, and don’t hesitate when you place your bet. If you can persuade yourself that your hand is equal, or superior than your fellow poker players; you will have a better chance of misleading them. Keep in mind to make this seem as normal as possible. Your use of body language and motions might be saying one idea, while the things you are saying are making them believe something else.

One more crucial point of poker is to be aware of your poker buddies’ “poker tells”. A “tell” is a gesture or habit that could might give away information about their hand. One key rule to remember is when your poker buddy gives the appearance that he has a great Texas Hold Em hand; he, very likely, has a poor hand. From a different angle, if he acts as though his hand is poor, he very likely is holding a strong poker hand.
