Top World Series of Poker stories
Having reached the half-way point of the 2010 WSOP, I reckon it’s about time we turned around and took a look at the stories yielded by the Series so far, because they have been plenty and plenty diverse too. First on the order of the day is the British invasion. It’s not a secret that the Brits are generally good poker players, but this year, their contingent has pretty much surpassed all expectations so far. No fewer than 3 Englishmen walked away with WSOP bracelets, and that fact alone doesn’t even begin to describe their dominance. Praz Bansi, James Dempsey ...
Full Tilt’s Rush Poker: boom or bust?
These days, the online poker world is abuzz with Full Tilt’s newest (copyrighted) invention: Rush Poker. It looks like everyone I talk to has already tried the new game, and they’re all delighted with it. They’ve all won at it too. Now, that leaves several possibilities open. It’s either that all my friends are excellent poker players and they have all indeed taken cash off the Rush Poker tables, or that they’re just a bunch of liars, or that everyone playing Rush Poker wins. That however is highly unlikely as it raises an even more unsettling question: if everyone wins, ...
The poker rake
As a complete beginner, you should always start your online poker adventure at the play money tables. While these tables may not teach you much strategy-wise, they will make sure you learn the game rules properly and that you become familiar with the user-interface too.

Anyway, it won’t be long before your ongoing poker education requires you to leave the play money tables and get some real money experience under your belt. Once you begin playing at the ...

The long winding road from poker cash games to poker tournaments
One of the best ways to make it big in online poker is to build up a bankroll via SNGs or cash games and then to start playing in high buy-in guaranteed prize-pool tournaments (run by pretty much all major poker sites every weekend). For that though you need to make the move from the cash game tables to the tournament ones. If you manage to work your... [Read more of this review]
