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…

Promptly, back to the poker subsistence; because I sat down and present-day to play, my pioneer destination was to come known with the repute drift of the players around me. With 10 players at the grit, I had parlous of present to evaluate the people I was playing with, irrevocable risking a excessive deal of money.

“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.

Thank you to all those who took the challenge and tested their poker skills in our Smarty’s Party competition! We are happy to announce our winner — Jonathan Dobbertin, a 24-year-old poker player who is making his way into the world of professional poker. While some may consider him young, his achievements include winning a free 10K seat to the 2006 WSOP Finals after beating thousands of contenders! While he is hoping to win Main Event bracelet, he appreciates the opportunity itself to play against the top players in the world in the biggest poker event in history! Jon plays online and offline improving his results constantly and he is serious about making poker his life, whether it is playing the game or writing about it. While very ambitious, he also has qualities that point to a rational person that can fold KK or QQ when needed… He keeps his balance when bluffing and playing aggressively which allows him to keep discrete. Poker stories this guy could tell must be interesting, read one of them now!

Read the article about the present and the future of online poker written by Shawn Marston, the winner of our MIRROR-MIRROR ON THE WALL competition.

Shawn is not new to the game of poker and his experiences include playing with Scotty Nguyen at the WSOP Circuit Event, winning of over US $4000 at the tournament at Casino Arizona a year ago, chatting with Daniel Negreanu, and discussing poker strategies with Greg Raymer in between playing satellites at last year’s WSOP.

Shawn enjoys playing Omaha Hi/Lo, but he has no doubts that his favorite game is No Limit Texas Hold ‘em as the game of skill that also reveals human nature. While most people he plays with regularly consider him a very aggressive player, he doesn’t like to bluff and always maintains his composure regardless of how the game goes. He enjoys the process of the game and doesn’t like it when it is too easy. That’s why he says he was ‘disappointed’ when he got his royal flush with just a Jack of Spades in his hand with the other four cards on the board.

Shawn keeps his dream to make the final table at a major event, and we wish him luck!

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…

This one was posted on the Mob Forum by The Reverend.
£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,…
