Some abhor the idea of the nanny state but for others it’s probably a necessity. We’ve heard that some parts of America have stopped selling supersized drinks to try and combat the epidemics of obesity and diabetes – although there’s nothing to prevent you buying two medium sized ones . On a personal note we’ve … continuation reading bet

Speed Kills
The Rush For Rush Poker The unsurprising announcement came into our inbox yesterday heralding the arrival of Sprint Poker on the iPoker network. Starting with Bet365 this feels like the 365th such announcement with the world and his wife now offering some variant on the Full Tilt Poker – supposedly patent protectable – ‘classic’ that … continuation reading bet

New Full Tilt – Cash Games analysis
New Full Tilt – Cash games … a very, very interesting one this indeed is. Logically speaking, FTP can not accept the whole liability for players’ losses because, quite simply, they would go bankrupt. So what may be needed to make this work is a mechanism/technical solution whereby net withdrawers (winning players) are “penalised” for … continuation reading bet

Chattanooga Bang Bang!
More good news for poker fans this week, and the quest for legalisation, comes from Chattanooga where a man was shot after a police raid on a high stakes home game on Thursday.

Party #Poker Ditch Bad Beat Jackpot
Following the winning of the Bad Beat Jackpot recently Party Poker have taken the option of removing it altogether.

The extra rake taken on the Bad Beat tables is now … continuation reading bet

WEEK AHEAD: NOIQ #POKER
NoiQ Poker is one of the larger poker rooms on the IGT Network, formerly known as the Entraction Network, and as per network policy does not accept US players.

The Week Ahead: #Pokerstars
Pokerstars, since their sad departure from the US market almost exactly a year ago seem to have, unbelievably, become even bigger. Record after record has been broken lately for player numbers and prize pools and their promotions put everyone else to shame. Customer service, fraud and collusion detection, and payment processing are all top notch … continuation reading bet
The Week Ahead: Inter #Poker
Inter Poker is another euro-centric site but as those reading in the US will know it’s getting more and more difficult to play online there now.

Week Ahead: Party #Poker
This week we’re looking at Party Poker and their current promotional offers.

Week Ahead: Carbon #Poker
This week we’re talking about Carbon Poker and Black Chip Poker on the Merge Gaming Network. Now we’ve been critical of this network in the past and with good reason. Merge is now the only network of any stature that still accepts US players and, in the current climate, this is borderline insane. We can’t … continuation reading bet
Week Ahead: Betfair #Poker
This week we’re going to tell you about the value of playing on Betfair Poker on the Ongame Network, although whether that’s Ongame 1 or Ongame 2 we don’t know – and seemingly neither do Ongame at the moment!
