Small Town Poker Tour finished in Monroe, Louisiana

This season the Small Town Poker Tour finished in Monroe, Louisiana. Almost 300 players were struggling for the first place and $3,000 Visa Gift Card and a seat at the STPT World Amateur Championships. The players came from Arkansas, Alabama, Texas and many other southern states. After the first day there were 105 players left claiming the first place.

A remarkable thing is that ten women have taken part in the tournament, but only two women made the final table: Michelle Rison who finished third (by the way it was her first live tournament), and Debbie Goodwin who managed to finish eighth in spite of the competition and chemotherapy she is going through. No doubt, it is a very difficult period in Debbie’s life, but nevertheless she managed to find time and strength to join the charity tournament.

John Nowell is the man who won the second chance event and got a seat at the STOT Championships and a Visa Gift Card.

“I was very impressed by the turnout of volunteers we had from the Uniformed Officers of Ouachita Parish, they helped make it a success,” Mark Fracalossi, STPT Executive Producer said. So, the event benefited Uniformed Officers of Ouachita Parish.

About the Small Town Poker Tour: the aim of the tour is to look for the world’s best amateur poker players and to help charities use poker as an instrument of raising funds. The season ends in Las Vegas with the Small Town Poker Tour World Amateur Championships which is open to all amateur players from all over the world.

The remarkable thing about the Small Town Poker tour is that all the events are filmed for a TV special.

Launch of the New Guide to Poker Rooms – Poker Online UK

At the beginning of August 2006 the world could observe the official launch of Poker Online UK – the new guide to the best online poker rooms.

The idea to run such a guide came to two both online and real poker players wishing to inform the beginners and all the players about the best places to play poker online. Their site ranks the top online poker rooms, and even more – it gives their descriptions. No doubt, having an idea which room is the best and which one is the worst, any beginner will easily manage to start his poker experience.

Another attractive thing for newly comers on the Poker Online UK website is Poker Bonus Codes, i.e. they may be used by new players to get free money when joining an online poker site.  E.g. the first Poker Bonus Code used for Party Poker, a very famous online poker room, is called “POUK”. When signing up to play at Party Poker, the beginner having put POUK in the “bonus code” box while filling the form out, will get 20% free of his first cash deposit. He or she can get even up to $100 free. The second bonus code for Party Poker is called POUK25 as it gives a beginner $25 free when signing up and making the first cash deposit. Actually this sum does not depend on the amount of money you have deposited.

Naturally it’s not so difficult to sign up with a poker room and to get a bonus, but the Poker Online UK website has made it even easier. There is a special link for most of the poker rooms on the homepage of the Poker Online UK website. As soon as the player clicks it and makes the first deposit, the bonus cash will be added to his account.

Besides the Poker Online UK website provides potential poker players with poker rules and detailing poker hands. So, anyone can learn how to play poker, even one of the most popular poker games Texas Holdem.

Being the source of both assistance and useful information, the Poker Online UK website is getting more and more popular.

Team Expert Insight Winning Went Up as High as $ 1.5 Million at the 2006 World Series of Poker

Phil Gordon, Rafe Furst, Andy Bloch… You’ll ask us: what do they have in common? The thing is that all of them have become founding members of Expert Insight Team, an educational media company. “Final Table Poker with Phil Gordon” and “Beating Blackjack with Andy Bloch” are the names of the DVDs released by this company.

Some words about each of them:  Andy Bloch’s five cashes at the 2006 World Series of Poker totaled $1,119,860. They included two final tables and a second place finish in the $50,000 buy-in H.O.R.S.E. event. What concerns Rafe Furst, he beat at the greatest pot limit field in history to win his first WSOP bracelet plus $345,984 at the $1500 Pot Limit Hold’em event. As for Phil Gordon, he became a winner of the opening round of the Full Tilt Invitational Red Rock Shootout and a seat at the televised final table for a shot at $1 Million. Besides, he has cashed in-the-money for a total of 8 events over the last two World Series.

Here is what Rafe Furst says about his rapid progress: “Without question, Expert Insight has made a huge difference in my game. In 2003 I was first to bust out of the World Series of Poker making my trip to the rail in under eleven minutes. Through the 2004 World Series I had yet to cash in a major event in over 30 attempts. After working with Phil Gordon as a Producer of his Final Table Poker DVD, I cashed five times at the World Series, won a televised No-Limit Hold’em tournament at the Ultimate Poker Challenge, and bested eleven hundred players in the largest Pot-Limit Hold’em event in poker history to win my first World Series of Poker gold bracelet”.

Join us and stay with us! Check out our podcasts and out last year’s WSOP most popular podcast. To keep you closer to the action, this year the ante is being raised.

Online Poker is Mac Compatible Now

Part Poker has lately entered the market as an owner of Mac compatible poker software what has been noticed by Compatible poker (www.compatiblepoker.com) that makes regular reviews of its Mac compatible Java software.

What makes Party Poker different is that it offers real money games to its Mac poker players. These games are still to be found at Pacific Poker (www.PacificPoker-Mac.com). The players at Pacific Poker get the no BS 25% bonus, that is up to $ 100.

No doubt, Compatible Poker.com is extremely proud to present Party Poker as its software has exclusive direct link with Java. Though the Java program is not yet in Part Poker’s list, it can be found at www.Compatiblepoker.com in the Party Poker review.

By the way, Compatible Poker is going to launch a new project for bonus hunters, the details of which are still being worked out.

There are several rumors connected with Mac compatible poker rooms. The first one is that Absolute Poker is going to enter the market with Mac compatible software but there is no proof of it. The other one is that Party Poker is coming out with a native Mac client, but the Java version is not a natively Mac compatible download version.

Not to become out-of-date, Mac compatible online poker should be always attractive and keep pace as new windows compatible software which is being built, could diminish interest to it.
