The Aruba Poker Classic, sponsored by online poker room Ultmate Bet poker, just wrapped up two days ago and the winner was pro poker player Matt Brady. Brady outlasted the 550 players to score the victory, worth $1 million to the poker pro. The final table started with Brady holding the second largest chip stack, and when he went into heads up play, he still had a significant lead…

Online poker room Doyles Room decided to offer a free ticket into a $250,000 Guaranteed event for new deposits by existing players, which wound up costing the poker room $50k. This was the overlay, the amount that they fell short in meeting the $250k guarantee, and so the funds had to come out of Doyle’s Room’s coffers. The total number of players in the event were just over 1,300, but many of them did not have to pay to enter, so the prize pool came up just under $200k…

Actress Jenny McCarthy hosted a poker tournament recently in order to help raise awareness and raise money in the fight against autism. Plenty of stars showed up to play in the Dana Point, California tournament, including Lance Armstrong and Tony Hawk. Taking a cue from the event started by Annie Duke and Don Cheadle called “Ante up for Africa”, this event was named “Ante up for Autism”…

After a year and a half the World Poker Tour Boot Camp will be returning to the Isles of Capri Casino and Racetrack at Pompano Park in South Florida on November 15th and 16th. The camp works on improving poker players’ skills in order to give them a chance at going deep in a World Poker Tour tournament. The skills that are to be focused include cash games, which are different from the tournament style play of the WPT events but are popular…

Four men who were charged with participating in a high stakes poker scam in Atlantic City have been indicted by New Jersey authorities. James Harrison, Joseph Ingargiola, Stephen Phillips and Steven Forte all faced charges of second-degree attempted theft by deception. Two hotel rooms at the Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa were rigged with surveillance cameras in order to spy on a man who was invited to play Chinese poker…

Online poker room Bodog Poker is holding the main event of their second Bodog Poker Open today. The Bodog Poker Open II wraps up with the main event, starting at 4pm ET, with a buy in of around $500 and a guarantee of $300k in prize pool payouts. Last year’s main event was won by Shawn Luman, taking home more than $76k for his victory…

The second annual World Series of Poker Europe has come to a close, and the winner of the coveted main event is an American poker pro, John Juanda. The buy in was 10,000 and 362 players took part, creating a prize pool of 3,620,000. Juanda, the first American to win a WSOP main event outside of the United States, took home 868,800 ($1,598,587) as his first place prize…

Simon Galloway, 03/05/2007
After last week’s success in the Full Tilt Million Pound Challenge, Adam No-one has gone missing in action, presumably out in the big wide world now that he is Adam Some-one. Reports of a sighting on Mustique are unsubstantiated, but if he tries to hustle a poker game up together there, he will be back in Hendon broke within a fortnight. Until then, here’s the news..

I think that there is a natural transition with all poker players in how they go about learning certain games. I think that most players travel a very similar evolutionary process, the big difference seems to be the time delay for players to reach certain stages of advancement.
But one of the lessons that I learned (painfully) at the beginning of my time playing PLO was in the overall vulnerability of big pairs and especially when out of position and with deep stacks.
Omaha is a deeply…

In tournaments, I play lots of hands. I’ll put my money in with all kinds of connected cards, especially when in position. I might limp, I might min-raise or raise a little more than the minimum, depending on the circumstances. I’m looking to keep my table off balance so they don’t know where I’m coming from.
My overall goal is to pick up a lot of small pots without a lot of resistance. I might raise in position and hope for a call from one of the blinds. If I raise pre-flop with something…

There’s been plenty of live action recently and seeing as there was no news round up last week we’ll begin with a brief recap of the events from the EPT Barcelona main event held from 10th to 14th September. The Spanish leg is always a popular starter to the EPT season and so it proved this year with a big turn out of 619 entrants for the €8,000 tournament.

No I am not to going to sit here and start spouting about what a great PLO player I am because that would be nothing short of bull. For years and years I side stepped it like you do an embarrassing ex when you are out with your mates. I don’t know what it was about the game but I could never properly figure it out and especially short handed. In fact years ago I would actually muck good PLO hands in dealer’s choice games simply because I couldn’t trust myself from the flop…

£1/ £2 live cash game at the Casino at The Empire in London. Somehow I end up with my opponent all-in on the river with a pot of about £285 and I have 5 high. My opponent, embarrassed at his own high card holding (better than mine, obviously) angrily mutters something including the words "I fold" and throws his cards in face up towards but not touching the muck. This is absolutely irrelevant as far as the rules,…

Earlier this year, I cashed in the $2,000 Omaha Hi/Lo event at the World Series of Poker*. I enjoyed the tournament; it was great to spend some time playing a game other than hold ‘em. One thing that surprised me about the tournament, however, was that the quality of play was quite poor. Some players didn’t even know the very basics, like starting hand values. I was amazed that so many people would put $2,000 into a tournament where they didn’t understand even the most rudimentary elements of…

I think that before you take a seat in any poker game be it online or in some card room then it pays to have some kind of a plan as to how you intend to make money. Too many poker players seem to drift into games having no idea what they need to be doing in order to win. Now to have a good idea as to where the money will be coming from (if at all) in a poker game then you need to know three things.

Your own level of knowledge/ability
The level of knowledge and ability of your…

A few people have asked me why I haven’t written a diary recently. Some of them have said very kind things about how they enjoy reading about my travels, and that they’ve been wondering what’s been happening lately. Others are probably secretly thinking, (and hoping), that I’ve been doing my bollocks and I’ve been too miserable to write. I did actually hear recently that I lost £85,000 in the Vic in August and that I was doing a good job of losing all the Irish Open money.

Plane crashes, casino openings, worker layoffs, free concert tickets, new poker rooms, burglars target Hoyt’s house. Just another week in Las Vegas.
With the casinos as quiet as I have seen them since 9/11 the marketing managers have gone into overdrive to try and lure the locals out of their, soon to be foreclosed, homes, and back into the casinos.

However, bluffing should never be a permanent strategy. This should only be used when the need arises. Constant and consistent bluffing may eventually lead to large losses.

“Boot camp” is term generally given to the military training that turns a kid, whose greatest challenge in life was getting past the Nightmare level on Halo 2, into a well oiled fighting machine. This type of training usually involves trading one’s locks for a tacky camouflage wardrobe and the type of food that even a wiener dog would turn their nose up at. After 8 to 10 weeks of running, sweating, and getting yelled at by somebody who works out their personal issues by intimidating teenagers, boot camp is over and the cadet is transformed from a pile of useless goo into something their parents can be proud of. If this is the sort of experience you are looking for, the WPT boot camp is definitely not the place to be.

The $100k buy in event featured the best players out there, such as Phil Hellmuth, Tom Dwan, Allen Cunningham, Guy Laliberte, Mike Baxter and David Peat. It was Baxter and Dwar who mixed it up before, and were destined to do it again in this particular hand.

All the players at Poker After Dark’s the Cash Game show admitted one thing: Durr was hard to read. In the $100k buy in event Phil Hellmuth, Allen Cunningham, Guy Laliberte, Mike Baxter, and David Peat were playing with a crafty player better known for his skill online as Durr, but his real name was Tom Dwan.

When Poker After Dark started their new season, they started to bring in some new blood as well. In the Cash Game episode, where players paid $100k to play, Phil Hellmuth, Tom Dwan, Allen Cunningham, Guy Laliberte, Mike Baxter, and David Peat were invited to play, with only Allen and Phil being old timers.

Watering down the talent pool has made it tough for the good players to shine. A world class player who has to face down 6500 opponents in a big tournament like the World Series of Poker Main Event is still a heavy underdog to make it to the final table. This is evidenced by the fact that it has been over five years since a big name pro has won the WSOP Main Event, and this year the November final table is basically a who’s who of the poker unknowns.

The all in bet has been a staple of big poker tournaments ever since the ESPN cameras became part of the sport’s reality. There are a number of reasons for this that can be explained from a tactical point of view, but the reality is that the all in bet is exciting: it’s the “Home Run” of the sport of poker, and makes for good viewing. Newer players have been watching this on television for years, and it has become an accepted part of the game. In older days these types of all or nothing gambits were less frequent.

So does a plumber have an unfair advantage when he uses a wrench to stop a stubborn leak? Well perhaps the leak thinks so, but in reality the tradesman is just using the proper tool of the trade to solve a problem. People might look a little sideways at the gentleman if he tried to stop the leak by swearing at it using cream cheese to stop the flow of water. In short, we expect people to use the tools available to them in order to be good at their jobs. Poker odds calculators are a relatively new wrinkle that has been added to the landscape of the online poker world.

Poker After Dark is a great show to watch to catch the pros in action. Typically they play a short handed winner take all No Limit Holdem tournament, but this particular week the theme was The Cash Game, where players paid $100k of their own cash to play.

Depending upon where you are standing in the world, a game with the same name can have very different rules. Poker pros Marcel Luske and Michelle Lau established the Federation Internationale de Poker Association (FIDPA) and the International Poker Rules (IP Rules) so that somebody who is used to playing poker in Las Vegas will be playing with the exact same rules if he travels to London, Moscow, or Prague.

What happens before the flop and what happens after it can be as different as night and day. Somebody behaving like a lion before the first three cards hit the board may be reduced to impotent hamster after the flop. Of course this transformation is only valuable if you know they have been neutered and play accordingly. If you have something like a Q-10 or a Q-J, and one of your opponents raises after you before the flop this could have a whole host of meanings.

The World Series of Poker Europe was a period on any sentence that talks about how the Internet has changed the sport. Before today Annette “Annette_15″ Obrestad had the glorious distinction of being the best multi-table tournament player that the internet has to offer. In certain snobbish corners of the sport, the “poker elite” behave as if being the best tournament player in cyberspace is the equivalent of being the best race car driver in Hazzard County.

It was about two in the afternoon (British Time) when the evil was exorcised from the gaming floor at the World Series of Poker Europe. It was at this time that Phil Hellmuth was eliminated from competition. Usually when really bad things are killed off it takes an exploding death star or a farm house from Kansas falling on malevolent character to keep them down. In this case all it took was a short stacked Phil Hellmuth running into a very determined player.

Isabelle Mercier was eliminated with extreme prejudice when her pair of sixes failed to hold up against Tong G’s full house. During the previous hand Isabelle had the opportunity to eliminate Tony. She had him lined up for the kill with a pair of Queens when all he was holding was a suited A-K. During the hand her bravado got the best of her, and she took the opportunity to stick it to her flailing opponent.

The sixth day didn’t end with a bang - it was more like a flushing sound. Day 2A of the World Series of Poker Europe Main Event concluded with a pair of last minute eliminations. Pat Scanlan ended Ian Munns tournament on the very last hand of the night while Gus Hansen took out Chris Bjorin in a hand that had all the excitement and energy of a Bob Newhart running the 40 yard dash.

On Monday Phil Hellmuth arrived in grand fashion atop a double decker bus. Phil is a legend, a bit of a knob, but a legend nonetheless. His entrance was as big as his presence in the sport. On Day 1B Doyle Brunson’s exit was far less grand and in direct contrast to man who surpassed him as the most decorated player in World Series of Poker history.

The first event at the World Series of Poker Europe was won by a guy from Germany. Today an Italian was crowned the champion of Event 2. The last time folks from these two nations dominated a European struggle, well… really bad things happened. Seeing as neither of these winners has dreams of world domination or a tasteless little mustache, we think the EU you are safe.

Jennifer Harman may not have won any bracelets at the WSOP Europe, but she has had the uncanny knack of somehow being wherever the action was happening. She was a runner up in the first event, and on Day 1A of the Main Event, took out Andy Bloch.

Today we have crowned the first winner ever at the World Series of Poker Europe. The person who will forever hold this place in history is German poker ace Thomas Bihl. That is the good news, the bad news is that he had to beat Jennifer Harman in a heads up match to secure this place in poker history.

Usually when a story involves a New Zealander, a German, a Chick from Nevada, and Jesus it is the start of the sort of joke that one commonly finds written on the walls of the men’s room of a high school or the DNC headquarters. In the historic first event of the World Series of Poker Europe, this situation described the final four players vying for the first bracelet to ever be awarded outside the Las Vegas borders.

As of the writing of this column the final table has been set for the first event of the WSOP Europe. Unlike the WSOP proper that boasts dozens of events, the first European branch of this franchise has only three events to speak of. Don’t think of it as small though, we prefer the term “intimate”.

The World Series of Poker Europe Main Event continues apace and the pro poker players continue to knock each other out of the running for the top prize. The biggest pro killer was John Juanda, who knocked out fellow pros Erick Seidel, Andy Bloch and Mel Judah on his way to accumulating chips. In the end the chip leaders, and the players at the final table, are Robin Keston, Daniel Negreanu, Chris Elliott, Bengt Sonnert, John Juanda, Ivan Demidov, Toni Hiltunen, Scott Fischman and Stanislav Alekhin, ending the hopes of Annette Obrestad fans that the young pro would pull off back to back wins.

While he didn’t finish the day at the very top of the stack, he was close enough: Kid Poker showed his stuff at the World Series of Poker Europe main event, sponsored by Betfair and currently running in London. Plenty of big names were still in the event, such as Phil Laak and Justin Smith, but other than the eventual chip leader John Juanda, non were doing as well as Daniel Negreanu. These and others totally 36 made the money in the tournament, and only the top 24 made it through to the next day of the WSOPE.
