I know most people here are mostly into slots and casino games... but if you play poker here's a contest that could win you a few extra bucks. Juicy Stakes Poker has put up $500 in prizes for top Sit n Go players this month. Players that take a seat at most SnG games up to $10 buy-in will automatically earn SnG Battle points. The 20 players with the most points by March 22nd will split $500 in prize money with $90 – and top bragging rights -- going to the first place player. You have until March 22nd to accumulate points. Higher buy-ins earn more points. So does winning. Any 10max SnG up to $10 buy-in qualifies (Double-up, kamikaze and satellite Sit & Go games are excluded from this race.) Prize money will be paid with 48 hours. Juicy Stakes is well known for their busy poker rooms that attract players with all levels of skill. A new $1,000 GTD R&A No Limit Holdem tournament has been added to the tournament schedule every night at 11:00 pm EST.

So my question to everyone is what are some of the most favorable or unfavorable poker games/ bet requirements that you've played? Perhaps what has been poor for one player has been good for another. I'm interested in hearing your opinions. For example, I am keen on this Holdem game at Betat. There is a max bet of 40, but I control whether or not I bet on the turn and the river. I throw away 3 euro hands but I usually know which are my winning hands and bet all the way through.

Hitting twenty-one in Blackjack always feels good and this month Intertops Poker and Juicy Stakes Poker, the two leading poker rooms on the Revolution Poker Network, are making it even sweeter. In addition to Texas Hold’em and Omaha, both poker rooms also offer a few casino games including several Blackjack variants. Until January 14th, Blackjack players will earn points for hitting 21 and the 30 players with the most points will split $1500 in prize money. A Natural Blackjack (Ace with 10, Jack, Queen or King of any suit) earns one point per dollar bet. All Hearts, Diamonds or Clubs wins 5 points and all Spades is worth 20 points per dollar. A Big Suite 21 (Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 in any order) wins 500 points for every dollar bet. Players can choose from four games: Blackjack, Face Up 21, Double Draw and Perfect Pair. (Poker room casino games only. Games in Intertops’ main casino are excluded.) Juicy Stakes and Intertops Poker attract players at all skill levels, from all over the world. They've also gained a reputation for sending online satellite tournament champions to exciting live poker tournament events. Last fall, online winners went to the Caribbean and the winner of upcoming tournaments will win their way to the CAPT Seefeld Main Event in Austria next month.

This thread is for anyone either new to the game or if like me have been playing for a few years and just thought it was only a phrase to make it more interesting/in depth onpokershows/videos. Pot odds are what makes a hand worth playing or not. Is it worth entering this pot with this size to call and this much to win? I played with pot odds primarily last night and ran quite deep in the tournaments. Although I did not win any cash(just due to bad luck and sucky hands) I am definitely going to always use pot odds from now onwards! So here is an example say you have 6000chips it's your call on the button and the blinds are 75/150 there are a few callers nobody raised and the pot stands at 750. You have say 78 off if you call you are getting 5/1 pot odds so you should definitely call making it 6/1. For another example say you have 10000 hold J10 of diamonds the short stack goes all in everyone folds and the call is 1000 for you in the big blind. (Blinds are at 500/1000 he went all in for 2000) you are getting 2/1 with a decent enough hand to call this hopefully win the hand and improve your stack. Take these examples and use them wiselypokeris entirely situational. If the short stack is a tight player and you are in middle position with KK you should never just call you should probably at least reraise x3 their bet or go all in. To avoid it being tempting to other players. If your hand is not good enough to be beating much like Q5 I'd just fold that. Why re-raise and face another all in from the button? Then you need to fold anyway. My final example is the most important say you have K10 in a late position it's action galore in front of you although you are short. What is it even beating that has raised behind? Now with pot odds in mind unless you are getting at least 2/1 to call and it's not for more than half your stack it's a fold even with 2/1 pay attention to your opponents. How many hands are they playing? What hands are they raising? Do they check raise? are they aggressive? etc. So the call comes to you blinds are 300/600 and it's 1800 to call with a pot size of 2700 you have say 3100chips this is easily a fold. Unless your hand is at least QQ or AK suited. As 1800 only goes into 2700 once for it to be a profitable call it should be at least a 3600+ pot. If you hold a monster in this spot I.E QQ or better go all in. Just thought I'd share more stuff I've learned by using pot odds you have an even better edge against newbies and donks. Enter less pots recklessly and lose less chips extend your tournament life and hopefully place or even better take it down! Last thing remember just because everyone just called this doesn't mean they don't have a big hand like AK or better. Only call when you get the right price to if you have a "plan" or a good hand at least 45,67,89,910 and for suited at least Jx,Qx,Kx and so on. Why enter a pot with a hand that has no kind of potential to win??

Well I read a lot about casinos as I am really fascinated by them. Few things that I like the most about the casinos are that at least 65 million people play poker on a regular basis in the U.S. That's quite a number and me & my friends fall in this category for sure. And according to surveys, 80% of respondents consider that gambling should be legal. I wonder what can be the major cause behind this concept. If we have so many casinos all around the world and now even we can play poker and other games online, so why it's still not legal?

Hi all, Maybe this is a strange topic. But anyway. My company has developed a HTML5 Multiplayer Texas Hold'em poker. We are looking for companies who would be interested of buying our software. Does anyone have any suggestions how to market software like this? Best Regards, Nik

Hi folks I was asked by the forum queen Luciana to write something on the forum and I couldn`t find it in my heart to let her down. Even though she is a lovely girl she doesn`t know s**t about either poker or sportsbetting so I agreed to help her out First of I`ve been playing poker/sportsbetting for a living( in that order) for about 15 years and would gladly help you guys out if you have any questions about either of the two. Been reading a few of the latest treads on the forum but since I can`t seem to get a clear picture of what you want to know exactly I think it would be easier to just start over. Would also try to post sportbets when certain bookmakers/casinos are out of line or quite simple if I find sportsbets to be of any value. If that would be of any interest to you guys at all So in other words bring on questions( since I have no clue what you already know and what you want to know more about) and I`ll answer them as best I can!

Before I start, let me tell you that I do not play online poker anymore. But in my prime I was playing 24 NL tables at once and average balance was always over 20k. Then after suffering a big loss, i stopped. Cold turkey and do not regret it one bit. The best way to win, enjoy and make a good living is following these steps... Open account at POKERSTARS Email them second later [email protected] asking for permanent deposit limit of 100/week On the 39th minute of every hour there is a satellite to the Sunday million 1.65 + rebuys Play only that tournament. Nothing else After a while you will understand how to last Always join tournament when there is 2 minutes left until registration closes Do not rebuy. Ever. Never rebuy. If u lose the 1.65, play another time. Do not rebuy. If I reach add on, if u have less than 100000 chips, then add on After add on, the "bingo playing" is over. Then take you time. Always let seconds pass till u bet or call If u last, and win the seat, go unregister right away You will then have 215 tourny dollars Play until you reach 1000 tourny dollars Withdraw your cash right away Take your 1000 tourny dollars and play tournaments no less than 50 dollars. NOT turbos! No rebuy All NL Holdem with no less than 50 buy in and no more than 100. Out of those, every time you place, it's cash winnings. Cash out every time you place DO not PLAY CASH games. Ever! You will lose. Those boys eat players alive. I know! As good as I was I stood no chance. A player named TAKE CHIP who I never heard of played me. I started with 20k. I decided to bluff with an all in 20k+ bet. He called with 22 and beat my K high. I was shocked. I closed account right after that hand. Sick! Pokerstars is not rigged. The hands are legit. There is no cheating in tournaments. It's 100% legit. Many other poker sites are also legit..... Tilt, Party etc....But this method will work on STARS only. I did this Sunday million method with wife's account. 11 places in a row. My record. Easy tourny money. But I personally played the Sunday million with it

Every poker room and online casino use Bonuses and Promotions as a great way to market to new players, and existing players through deposits. This also benefits the casino because more often than not, a deposit will be made, and if a player enjoys the experience, they will recommend a friend. Although a deposit bonus seems like a fantastic way to make your $20 bankroll suddenly turn into a $100 balance or more, there are many factors you need to consider when using a deposit bonus. You may find that more often than not, denying a promotional offer will be the best option. A rollover/playthrough is generally the most notable amongst these restrictions with the additional bankroll added to your account. The most recent bonus I received, gave me an extra $100, but required a 60x rollover, which means I basically needed to place $6000 in bets before withdrawing any money. I am someone who doesn't even like to bet more than $5 or $10 on a single hand of blackjack, so that number to me definitely scared me off at first. These bonuses which come with a high rollover rate, can really affect the way you play because you know that you are playing to reach a certain amount of bets rather than the money in your account. Although some experienced and profound players could see this as reachable, it is indeed a task that is very hard to obtain especially if that bonus limits you to a specific game, and many times, that bonus will limit your gaming options. Now, this doesn't mean you should go to a site and deny their bonus opportunities, and the reason why, is because EVERY bonus is different. You need to read the fine line between each and every promotion you are interested in. Go to LIVE chat, ask questions, and save the terms and conditions. If you slowly find similar information of rollovers like I described above, you may be better off taking your chances with that $20 balance rather than throwing away a deposit to chase a pipe dream. Carbon Poker and Bovada, have more recently implemented some great new bonuses which come with good incentives, and an opportunity to actually reach the requirement for withdrawal. I want to stress in this post the urgency to constantly check on terms and conditions, because 1000's of players each month lose out on their withdrawal for not following the casinos terms and conditions on bonuses. Many complaints posted on this site, you will also see were voided because of the violation of a bonus. Sometimes you are your own worst enemy, and I made this mistakes more than a dozen times, I've thrown away thousands of dollars on wasted deposits in my young age by simply ignoring bonus requirements. I would get up to $5000 and jump for joy as I hit withdraw, only to find myself violating almost every rule implemented on that bonus. Its good to see a site like this, because it truly helps any online player learn from other peoples mistakes, and also learn a little bit more about online poker or casinos that they may have not known before. I hope some of you reading this find some of this information useful. I know many of you are very well aware with how bonuses and rollovers work, but hopefully I was able to give a better understanding on whats reasonable and unreasonable for using such bonuses that sites promote.
