    Most micro stakes players are lucky to average a dollar or two in profits a day because the stakes are so low. Nathan “Blackrain79″ Williams, on the other hand, is a different story because he’s made over $30,000 playing $0.01/$0.02 and $0.02/$0.05 cash games at PokerStars. And what’s funny about this tale is that nobody even took a second notice at Williams until people found out his profits came at such low stakes.He talked about this by saying, “When PTR came out my exploits at the lowest stakes became public knowledge and it became interesting for people to talk…

    Miranda Kerr dressed as Wonder Woman is not as sexy as Phil Ivey dressed as Wonder Woman. Wait...hmmm...no not as sexy. With 12 remaining at the 2012 Aussie Millions Main Event, Yann Dion is the chip leader, stacked at 2,670,000. But enough about Yann Dion. Let’s get on with IVEY WATCH 2012TM. Phil Ivey, who you may recall is playing this event, finished the day as the short-stack with 699,000. Can Ivey double-up, chip-up, and make a run at the 7-man TV final table? Cue: Asia. The closest thing to another “notable” remaining would be WSOP bracelet winner Daniel Idema with…

Subject:Poker dropped a thorough investigative piece on Wednesday detailing Chris Ferguson‘s [not so] secret [anymore] bank accounts with Full Tilt Poker/Pocket Kings. Give it a read here, but the gist is Ferguson moved a lot of money between accounts, loaned Tilt a bundle of cash post-Black Friday, bought shares from many a shareholder, and is potentially keeping the skids on the Groupe Bernard Tapie deal from going through. Player reaction to the story via Twitter was expectedly harsh. Some…

    Image via Wikipedia First day as a Professional poker dealer is complete. I worked for a total of six hours at “The Poker Room NH” on Tuesday, January 3. Right after I checked in, I was assigned to deal at a Limit Holdem 2/4 table (2/4 means that the bets start at $2 for the first and second round of betting, pre-flop and flop, and $4 at the turn and the river). I was being shadowed (an experienced dealer was right behind me), and I was all nerves.

    Last year I had my worst losing year on record in online poker. My live game is a lot more profitable. I am going to stick with live brick and mortar poker until there are more weaker players online. In fact, I will try to wait until online poker is legal in the US. By that, I mean the money transfer part. My goal for 2012 is to become a professional poker dealer and then become the best dealer possible. Last year I started dealer training by purchasing an online dealer training course. The local poker room, “The Poker Room NH”, advised me to get live dealer training from…

Of course, I had failed to let Diane know of my plans so when I woke up 30 minutes prior to the event, she thought I was being quite helpful in getting dinner ready. I started to prepare the sweet potatoes while she pan fried the pork chops. I did not have much time before the event, so I wanted to speed dinner up.

    Image by ?ellie? via Flickr In many of my previous posts, I discuss how important it is to try making the best decisions possible in playing each hand of poker. What I may not have mentioned is that you also need to be able to emotionally detach yourself from the hands being played and playing optimally. Sadly emotions still gets in the way of my play. Last night I was in another RailBirds.com ranking tournament.  I played most hands as optimally as possible. I folded marginal or speculative hands in early position, pre-flop. I played top ranked hands strongly (AA, KK, QQ). However, when…

Andrew Cuomo delivered his State of the State address on Jan 4 to say, “We have long flirted and dallied with another potential economic engine — casino gaming — and when it comes to gaming, we’ve been in a state of denial.” Instead of flirting, Cuomo recommended a constitutional amendment that would finally consummate the state’s relationship with gaming.

  • Onward Local Tournament Grinder - A week of daily events across Las Vegas

    Nearly every casino with a poker room offers a daily tournament. The buy-ins range from $45 to more than $500, depending on the day of the week. I want to explore the level of competition, how much play I can get for my money and whether the payouts are worth the grind. I’m going to play at least a week of dailies around Las Vegas. Mostly, I plan to play on the Strip.

  • Zynga’s Semi-Bluff?

    Amy Calistri
    26 Jan 2012 | 6:14 pm
    Play-money poker giant Zynga hinted last week that it conceivably could enter the real money gaming world (i.e. gambling). The Facebook-facing poker site’s interest might seem reasonable in light of the Department of Justice’s recent re-interpretation of the 1961 Wire Act, limiting the scope of its prohibitions to sports betting. But there is also a more cynical interpretation of Zynga’s announcement. With its stock price languishing after its initial public offering, Zynga needed a growth storyline that shareholders might believe. I could write more about why Zynga’s…

  • Dilemma Spot: Folding Big Pairs After the Flop

    by David Chicotsky - @TheMavenVT   In tournaments, with average chip-stacks of less than 50 blinds, hands like aces or kings don’t give players too many dilemma spots preflop.  It’s after the flop, when players are often faced with a decision for their entire stack, that basic estimation skills are needed to figure out what to do. These skills apply when figuring out whether to hold on to a big pair until showdown, or lay the hand down. So which factors will most likely lead you to fold a big pair post-flop? read more

  • Dion Leads, Ivey Lurking in Final 12 at Aussie Millions

    27 Jan 2012 | 4:00 am
    It was another fast day at the Aussie Millions as it took only four and a half hours of play to go from 26 players down to 12. Day 4 was not a good one for Ivey as the former Full Tilt pro was bleeding chips. Ivey had the misfortune of losing set over set to Karim Jomeen and never really seemed to fully recover. He eventually finished with 699,000 chips, which puts him in last place. On the plus side the iconic pro still has 34 big blinds to work with so he could still make a late charge to the final table. It was the opposite for Yann Dion, who crushes online poker as yadio. Dion caught fire…

What’s bad is that he lost another $340k shortly thereafter, which amounts to over $1 million in losses in a very quick span. He then started talking about how, towards the end of a bad session, the losses really hit him. Eventually though, he’s able to get over the losses and get back to business.

A complete newbie has a chance to beat a seasoned pro in the short run. This is good for the newbie obviously, but also good for the pro as it draws in a new player to the game for him to teach the hard lessons. What games can compare to the skill/luck ratio of poker? Well there are games like tic-tac-toe, checkers and chess on one end of the spectrum. These are all skill based and at varying levels of difficulty. The flaw in…

The writer make a great case why we should think of these probabiliies as odds rather than the traditional percentages.

    Bit bored and should be revising so figured I'd write a post with some basic tips for anyone wanting to play MTTs. For background, I've been playing MTTs exclusively for about a year now. I've aimed at progressing through the stakes asap and I haven't got much volume at my current stakes so my stats are hard to work out but in the last year I've played ~10,000 MTTs including 180s with $10 average stake and a 25% ROI The Long Term This kinda brings me into my first point. If you want to ever take MTTs seriously, you need to always be thinking about the long term. Swings in MTTs are huge -…

    admin

    Bovada Poker has been in the headlines at the major poker news sites very often thus far in 2012. I can’t visit a poker forum without seeing a large, ongoing thread about this new poker room and some of the unprecedented changes they have made to their fledgling poker network. I hesitate to use the term “network” when talking about Bovada Poker because it has little in common with other online poker networks (i.e. Merge, iPoker, OnGame…ect). I will provide a brief history of Bovada Poker and a look at why this poker room is making headlines. I will also explain how to…

    Choosing an online poker site  isn’t as easy for some people. When I first started playing online poker I at least had something with experience to answer my questions. Now I have people asking me questions about online poker. My buddy Tony recently asked “Hey Josh, where can I play poker at online?”. My reply was that the better question to ask is “Where should I play poker?”. Online poker rooms are like restaurants, some are terrible, some are good and a special few are excellent. Since me and Tony are from the U.S. finding a poker room that accepts us is not…

    From at least April of 2007, Chris Ferguson funnelled just under $60 million of his Full Tilt distribution payments into bank accounts held for him in the name of Pocket Kings Ltd,1 in addition to the roughly $25 million that the US Department of Justice reported that he received in their amended civil complaint.

    In order to have a solid slot machine strategy, you must understand how the game actually works. Slot machine odds are calculated as the chance that you’ll actually hit a jackpot or hitting any winning combination. Slot Machine Strategy: Calculating Odds Modern slot machines are calibrated so that a player’s odds of winning are dependent on how the game is set up. The reels of the machine make a significant difference in that machine’s odds. Every stop on the reel corresponds to more than one stop as the wheel goes around. Symbols appear on the wheels more than once, so the actual odds…

    16 Jan 2012 | 2:07 pm
    Ever since the first violent video game was released (Death Race 2000, 1976) the media, religious life-haters, mothers and morons have crucified video games as the catalyst for every violent (or antisocial) act committed on American soil. While it’s impossible to truly understand how the mind of a right-wing religious zealot works, I think I’ve sussed out their train of logic: They believe all humans are weak, incapable of making moral or rational decisions and are perpetually susceptible to “monkey see, monkey do” syndrome. Since America and Religion are perfect, no human would ever…

    There isn’t much in the way of a true baccarat strategy simply because, much like slots, once you place a bet, the game is in motion and there’s not much else you can do. So the best baccarat strategies consist of placing the right bets. Don’t Bet On Tie While it may be tempting to put your money on tie, the payout on those are 8 to 1 or even 9 to one, but sadly the casino has the edge here with a 14.36% favor over you , the player. In short, while a tie might seem like a highly paid out bet, you’ll need a high payout if you’re ever going to actually win it. Don’t Bet It All…

To keep this as succinct as possible: SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) is a bill created and championed mostly by the bigs in Hollywood to stop the piracy and illegal sharing of copyrighted material. That sounds ok, but unfortunately the bill makes it illegal to share, or facilitate the sharing, of any copyrighted item (photo, video, text or audio).
