Free poker sites are on the way
Free poker sites are on the way Choose your language Tuesday, Oct 11, 2011 Home > Poker Strategy > Articles > Free poker sites are on the way by Sunday ,2 Oct 2011 Hoping for changes to the law casinos in Vegas and California are starting free poker sites Casinos have made it clear that they are betting on a change in the laws on online gaming. Most online gaming companies are sure that it is only a matter of time before casino gaming is legalised and are making preparations to cash in the instant Americans are once again allowed to play the game they love. Two separate casino companies have already created their own free play poker sites. Such sites allow people to play poker for points every time they win, those points are then traded in for various prizes such as electronic goods and even cars. These sites cash in on sweepstake laws that mean players can still get in on the action provided by poker without having to break the law. It also means that when the gaming laws change they will already have some market share for when they change their setup to allow real money games.Owner of the South Point Hotel and Casino, Michael Gaughan has announced that his free poker site will have the same name as the casino and will be using the ZEN network as their framework for operating the site. The site is expected to be up and running sometime in October. In addition to prizes there are even cash gifts on offer with the site to be funded exclusively by advertising and sponsorship deals. Zen also runs the poker rooms cardplayerpoker.com and spadesclub.com and Card Player magazine. According to Guaghan the website is only the first step and he intends to apply for an intrastate license at some point in the future.The other casino to open a new site is the Barona Resort in San Diego which is launching a Beta site for a free poker room online. The only players who are eligible to use the site are Club Barona members and the site will work in much the same way as that described above. The manager of the Barona hotel and resort, Rick Salinas, has said that “We are always looking for new and inventive way to excite our players and launching this free to play site is just another way to provide more fun for our players while at home.” The platform is being provided by the GTECH G2 internet company and offers a whole range of variations of poker.

CelebPoker Package Winner Achieves Ambition

CelebPoker Package Winner Achieves Ambition
CelebPoker Package Winner… UK CelebPoker player Matthew Tranter took the next step in his poker career by winning a package to the Irish Winter Festival that took place from October 29th – 31st, 2011. As a loyal player of CelebPoker, Matt will be aiming for more package wins in our online satellites for land based poker tournaments. We caught up with him to find out a bit more. What do you do (occupation, studies, hobbies etc?)I have been making a living by playing poker for the last couple of years. Prior to this I studied software development. I greatly enjoy skiing, socializing, reading and a wide variety of music; primarily drum & bass and dubstep which I find very helpful as a driving force during long poker sessions. How long have you been playing poker and how did you start?I have been playing poker for 5 years. Poker first caught my attention when some of the better players started to move over from the real time strategy game “Starcraft” that I was playing competitively at the time, they all showed great results and this opened my mind to the advantage of investing my time and dedication into a more profitable venture. Televised poker also added to the appeal to get involved in this exciting game; seeing the pros at the time playing high stakes tournaments for millions of dollars helped fuel my desire to learn and hopefully one day compete with and defeat these great players. Did you use any special strategy to win the tournament?I vary my play style based on the players on my tables at the time. On some tables it is advantageous to play tight (only the best hands) and some loose (many hands), however either way I will try to play those hands aggressively making my opponents make tough decisions whilst giving me information about the strength of their hands. In this tournament I was able to play a loose aggressive style (this means i was playing a lot of hands whilst betting/raising/re-raising rather than calling) and had a very large stack going into the final table.A tight player will make it into the money positions in a tournament more than a loose player, however a loose player will go on the win much bigger prizes more often when they do make the money. Any key moments you remember from tournament?The final table is the most important part of the tournament, with the pay increasing steeply with each extra position gained; here outplaying the other players really matters.I was lucky to have a 2 – 1 chip lead on 2nd place going in to the FT and couldn’t really ask for a better start. The other players were all playing tight against me; trying to avoid me at all costs unless they had a monster hand. This is always a good thing as with nobody trying to contest pots with me I was effectively being given permission to constantly steal chips from the other players allowing me to extend my chip lead significantly… a lot of the pots i won on the FT could have gone to the other player had they tried to play back at me. What do you plan to do with the prize money?I plan to use a lot of the prize money to work my way into a number of large live events. I will be playing the Irish Winter Festival tournament in October and hope that this will be the first of many over the next couple of years. It has been an ambition of mine to expand in to the live poker scene for quite some time now and huge prizes are ready for the taking.I will also re-invest a lot of the money on the Celeb Poker cash/tournament tables in order to continue progressing up through the stakes striving to improve by playing better players and to earn bigger pay days. Advice to other players?You might have to play countless tournaments in order to take a big finish or it could happen on your first one. The important thing is to not let this high level variance affect your play, if you’re not happy with your results so far it does not necessarily mean you’re a bad player as luck is certainly a large factor in poker. Keep a clear head, always be trying to improve your game (there are many resources out there for an aspiring poker player to learn from), put in the hands and the results will follow.

Epic Poker Struggles With Attendance In Second Main Event

Epic Poker Struggles With Attendance In Second Main Event
The Epic Poker League was born out of the notion that the best professional players in the world would be able to compete on a semi-regular basis for large amounts of tournament prize money. The pros felt that the member-only league, would eliminate so many amateurs snatching up prize money at tournaments around the world.The first event was a success, with 127 players entering. The second event, however, started this past week and the numbers were way down. Less than 100 players signed up to participate in event number two. Several reasons have been mentioned, but one stands out for many poker analysts. The prize money is simply not large enough.Players travel around the globe these days searching for tournaments and cash games where there is a big risk-reward factor. The reward in the second event of the Epic Poker League is over $700,000, but that is not enough to draw a crowd. Despite the low participant figures, some of the games biggest names did show up and compete. Mike Matusow, Phil Hellmuth, David Williams, Tom Dwan, Erik Seidel, and Huck Seed.Matusow appears to be the player that is moving forward with the biggest desire to win. The Mouth, as he is affectionately known, did not find a backer for the first Epic event, so he sat out the tournament. He is making his presence known in event two, with frequent tweets and even more verbal assaults at the tables.Poker was on the upswing in the US until the Department of Justice threw a wrench in the plans of millions of Americans. The top online poker sites in the world were indicted on Black Friday several months ago, and they soon after left the US market. That left millions of poker playing US citizens without a reliable place to play online.Thousands of poker enthusiasts had made online poker their occupation during the 2008 economic recession. With online gambling prohibition as strong as ever in the US, many of these poker players took to other countries to enjoy the game they had grown to rely on for income.Lawmakers in the US are slowly working towards a resolution to prohibition. Bills are on the table that would regulate online poker, and possibly allow the biggest poker sites in the world back into the US market. It is likely that US-based gaming companies would get the first crack at any licenses that come available for online gambling.

Caesars Cup Becoming An International Poker Phenomenon

Robert Stiller — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 01:00:05 +0000

Caesars Cup Becoming An International Poker Phenomenon
The game of poker has been searching for ways to make itself more appealing as a worldwide sport. The NFL, NBA, MLB, and professional soccer are all recognized as major international sports, but the game of poker does not command the same respect in the competition world.The Caesars Cup, along with a new professional poker league, is starting to change all of that. The Caesars Cup is expected to do for poker what the Ryder Cup and Davis Cup have done for golf and tennis, respectively. The Caesars Cup puts the top American players against a team of top European poker players and has them battle it out on the felt.In 2009, the US was heavily favored in the event, bringing some of the most recognizable names in the game to the Cup competition. Instead of staking their claim to the notion that the US has the best poker players, the team flopped, falling to a team of Europeans that cam mainly from the online poker generation.Phil Hellmuth was involved back in 2009, and he has been chosen as the captain of the US squad for the rematch, starting on October 19th. Bertrand Grospellier, a well-known pro, is the captain for the European team. Despite the fact that it is a competition, the Americans have a clear goal in mind when they arrive next month.”Team American has a score to settle after what most considered a colossal upset in London,” World Series of Poker Executive Director Ty Stewart told ESPN. “You see a real rivalry developing as European players continue to win more tournaments around the world.”The US players had long been considered the best in the world, but recent events at the Caesars Cup of 2009, and the WSOP, have balanced the playing field, or at least created the perception that the field had been leveled. The European players had a strong WSOP this year, and several are still in the running to win the main event when it resumes in November.One of the biggest questions surrounding the selection of the 2011 Caesars Cup team is whether or not Phil Ivey will be involved. Hellmuth mentioned Ivey as a possible teammate, but the player many consider to be the best in the world, has been boycotting the game since Full Tilt Poker was indicted in the US.Ivey has taken exception to the idea that the site still has not paid customers back the funds that were in their accounts at the time of the indictment. The poker pro filed a lawsuit against Full Tilt, and has maintained that he will not represent the company to which he is contractually obligated at any poker events. Hellmuth did, however, already name one player to his squad, the legendary Doyle Brunson. September 12, 2011Posted By Tom JonesStaff Editor, CasinoGamblingWeb.comSubmit News!

Online Poker Versus Offline Poker

Robert Stiller — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 22:30:07 +0000

With the convenience of being able to play poker online and never leave your home, this brings many changes and new challenges to the table or the screen. There’s a great amount of differences between sitting in front of your computer playing poker and in-person conventional poker.

The main and most obvious different is players aren’t face to face contact and sitting directly across from one another. This makes it impossible to observe body language and other player’s reactions which can be used in conventional poker to gain a prospective or an idea of the opposing player’s current hand.

Players instead have to adapt when the game is played online and instead of observing reactions face to face, they instead have to focus on players reaction times, the speed they’re playing and betting patterns. Poker is a game at which you have to adapt to even online. Another main difference is the speed of the game and the rate of play.

Online players have the option to play multiple tables at once while in a physical casino you are limited to sitting at one table as it would be impossible to be two places at once. Therefore, while being able to play more tables, your chances of earning are increased and how much you can earn are increased.

A good number of online poker rooms now offer poker schools online that offer players the chance to learn the basics and speed up the rate at which they learn the game for beginners. In an online poker room, you can click a button and more money is added to your budget and you can even go into practice rooms with pretend or fake money before you go onto actual playing tables. Rooms like these are great for novices so they can learn the basics of the game and become better before risking actual money.

Also, the limits that are associated with a lot of online poker rooms are a great deal less than table limits at conventional poker casinos. On an online poker room, players find limits sometimes as low as 1 cent while at most conventional poker rooms the limits could be set to 1 dollar.

So when you compare online poker to conventional poker, it all adds up depending on certain aspects such as, do you have enough money to travel to or spend on a conventional casino and are you experienced enough to play at a real casino. A lot of people who go to conventional casinos are not novices and they’ve been doing this for a very long time, so unless you have a very keen sight on poker, I would recommend learning more about the game and sitting out of face to face poker unless you have a lot of money to spend as a novice.

On the other hand, you can risk less money and get the Vegas feel right there in your living room and still win money but without ever leaving your home. This makes this convenient for people who don’t have enough money to go anywhere or people who have a busy schedule allowing them to play as well.

Cornell Study Says Novices Play More Hands, Lose More Money
Based on a study conducted at Cornell University, playing a lot of small stakes hands, even if you win a lot, can mean big losses in the long run. The researchers studied over 27 million hands of online poker. According to the study, low-limit players tend to take risks on hands that include low [...]
