Whats New

Full Tilt Poker shirts are available at the Full Tilt Poker store. If you haven't played online poker before but you'd like to get these poker shirts, then you should definitely consider creating a personal account at Full Tilt Poker.

You can only purchase the Full Tilt Poker shirts once you have the required number of points. It might take long for you to get these points, but you can still get the shirt by looking for sellers online. Before you buy these shirts from just any seller, it's important that you check if the seller is reliable. Read feedback and see whether the seller conducts smooth transactions. You should also check out the size of the shirts and see whether these fit you. These poker shirts are also great gifts for poker enthusiasts.

I received an email just the other day, coming from the Customer Relations/Support of Bodog, and let me just give you the contents in a nutshell. They are offering me the chance to use the new Debit Card payout scheme, allowing me (and others) to get the payouts at the ATMS which would accept this Bodgo debit card, particularly, Debit Mastercard. No more waiting for the check, now that indeed would be a good thing. Here are other advantages of this Bodog debit card thing- it is faster than the checks, and there is a high ten thousand dollar/load ceiling.

How to go about it: I was asked to email them, with the account number. I should wait for 2 days for processing, and once the request has been done, the Bodog debit card would arrive (mail) in about a month's time.

Of course, if you have any misgivings regarding this, verifying with the Customer Service is the intelligent thing to do.

Actually, Sportsbook.com is a combination of three enterprises- a casino, racebook and the sportsbook itself. They have been around in '97, with annual bets of more than 3B dollars, and more than one million loyal customers.

This Sportbook Bet USA Poker room is fairly new, it started running 2 years ago at the Cake poker system. Owing to their loose games, the poker room's business rose fast. Players more often than not are recruited via the sportsbook, and it is no wonder that a significant part of the population are newbies.

This Sportbook Bet USA Poker site has a par-for-the-course software, good graphics, statistics, and one could join ten games all at once if he wishes to. The typical gambler of this Sportbook Bet USA Poker site would not be disappointed if he/she wants variety in the card games. There are Holdem variants, Omaha, 7-card Stud, 7-Card HL- and regarding stakes- there is the PotLimit, NoLimit, fixed and the full-table contests.

If you are a tourney buff, then rest assured that this site offers both Holdem and Omaha competitions, so there, I'll leave it to you to find out the other details. They also give freerolls (100,000 dollars) on a monthly basis.

Let me just give you some tips/hints for your poker adventures, here goes.

Step 1: Improve on your skills, not in a dramatic fashion, but just slowly. Step 2: At the online poker room, you would not see how your opponent is cringing, or how big the smile is when he/she is looking at the hole cards, but there are online tells. If you do not know what they are, then obviously, you would not find them. What are these: at the online poker room, study the reaction times, the wagering patterns, even the speed of their responses.

Step 3: look at the playing style of the competitors, focus on one if you are sure you would be meeting him/her again in future games. (Example: you know him personally, and you know that the bad beat you gave him would not be forgotten. Then expect a "grudge match" anytime soon, if you get the point).

Step 4: Keep on practicing, hundreds of hours of practice, if coupled with a great deal of luck, could turn you into another Moneymaker. I am referring to the pro, not a coined description.

Step 5: Stay humble, if you refuse to take constructive criticisms from your betters, then you would be missing out on crucial things about the game. Not to mention the bad reputation you might earn.

Let us define the essence of the free online poker rooms. In these financially-trying times, it is no wonder that so many people want to gamble (poker) and yet be safe (expnses-wise). Poker as we all know is focused on the money, and the risks. It is a boon to these people that at present, we have hundreds of free online poker rooms to help us. In this kind of gaming, when a gambler goes zero, he is permitted to have a refill on their play money. Usually, it's just once a day thing, so don't expect to be 'refilled' every two hours. Via this, a novice can really start practicing his moves, and not to be constantly worried about losses, which he would be if he's in a landbased site.

Let me warn you though, free online poker rooms give a disadvantage if you the player, do not beware. Because one could refill when he goes bankrupt, it is very easy to be careless and complacent. After all, even if you go all-in, why get worried over losses?

Here is the bottom line, free online poker rooms have their advantages, but if you need the truth, they would not turn one into a master of the game. Actual real-money games would do that, but that is another story.

Whenever we hear the word "jackpot," I'm sure what's going to pop up first into your mind is a casino. A casino offers so many fun game variants that I'm sure are going to make you want to hurl. Read: craps, black jack, roulette, slots, and yes, poker! But if you'll ask me which of these casino game variants I would recommend, I'd surely recommend poker.

Why poker? For one very simple reason: it's fun, entertaining, and very challenging. A game of poker enhances your intellectual abilities, too. How? You see, whenever you play poker, you have to adept in maths, which is more on logic and developing strategies or formulas. Well, perhaps you'll need English skills, too, so that you'll be able to communicate well with the other players.

A poker game also enhances you emotionally. Do you know that the poker players' code of ethics includes a provision on dealing with emotions? It even has a term for a player who suddenly bawls over his opponents who bluff or win a hand that he has really toiled over. I forgot the exact term for that; poker's got a whole lot of specified slang words that are so hard to memorize. But there's a term for this for the laymen--crybaby.

I always get confused whenever I download a poker game from a site that says it's for free. For one, how come I don't get charged? I mean, my son's into devising online games and stuff that he shares with friends over the Internet for a fee. Now, don't get me wrong. Of course, who doesn't want free stuff, right? So I guess my question really is, why does my son offer a game download for a price, while some poker sites just give away their games for free?

All right, let's get this straightened one by one. I asked my son why he doesn't offer his games for free. His answer was he needs to get gaming software and stuff, which often comes with a fee, plus reimbursements for dial up and electricity bills. Plus, he says that every game he makes is unique. Meaning, he really exerts time, effort, and talent on every game he creates. This may be cheesy, all right, but fact is, part of the pay he charges is his talent fee.

Now the thing is, my son reveals, when a poker site says that a game is for free, it usually only concerns the download part. All other transactions thereafter could necessitate a fee. For example, if it's a cash game, you'd get to pay for cash out services, or if you want game upgrades, this time, you have to get it for a price.
