The Poker Players Alliance, which is the biggest lobbying organization for online poker, recently unveiled a new iPhone application that costs just $0.99.  Unlike many other poker-related iPhone programs, the application offered by the PPA has nothing to do with playing poker games or teaching people poker strategy.  Instead, this iPhone program was created with the intention of promoting internet poker worldwide, and convincing governments in countries such as the United States to pass favorable poker laws. Some features of the PPA’s new iPhone app is that it alerts players about starting times for various poker tournaments, delivers messages from …

PokerStars has become king of the online poker room world through its brilliant advertising campaigns and rakeback deals. However, PokerStars is anything but complacent since they bought three of the biggest poker sites in the industry in PokerPages.com, PokerBabes.com, and PlayWinningPoker.com. The biggest purchase in PokerStars’ acquisition is PokerPages.com, which is a massive site full of holdem poker advice. PokerPages began back in 2000 when its owners envisioned a site that not only offered tons of poker strategy, but also an extensive backlog of tournament results. This vision slowly became a reality since PokerPages featured information dating as far back …

Having starred in movies, TV shows, and music videos, Daniel Negeanu is the most recognizable face at PokerStars.  And PokerStars obviously realizes this fact since they have decided to open up a high stakes online poker room dedicated to Negreanu.  As you might have guessed, these high stakes poker tables are collectively called Daniel’s Room.  And these tables offer stakes starting at $20/$40 and going up to $100/$200.  As if the massive deals you can collect aren’t enough incentive to play on the high stakes holdem poker tables at Stars, you can also play against Negreanu himself.  Negreanu has been …

Team China played their poker hands better than anyone else and earned the honor of winning the inaugural World Team Poker event at the Golden Nugget Casino in Las Vegas.  Perhaps more important than the honor was the fact that China took home $300,000 for winning the international poker tournament.  The winning holdem poker team consisted of Maria Ho, Johnny Chan, Rich Zhu, David Chiu, Winifred Yu, Derek Cheung, and Chau Giang.  Other teams that competed in the poker games at World Team Poker included Brazil, USA, England, Vietnam, Greece, Australia, and Israel.  What made World Team Poker really fun …

Everyone has heard the phrase “poker takes moments to learn, but a lifetime to master.” However, there are few who actually take the significance of this quote to heart. In order to really become proficient in the game one must invest time and effort. The more playing experience you have the better grasp you will have on building your ideal poker strategy. Poker is not a game of chance but a game of skill, skills that must be developed over time. With the multitude of online poker sites now available to Internet users it’s a breeze to keep sharp and …

Games modeled after professional poker players have found little success in the video game market due to the fact that people can just go to online poker rooms if they want to play free poker.  But UltimateBet pro Annie Duke thinks she can succeed where others have failed through her new iPhone application entitled Annie Duke Poker Tutor. As you may have guessed from the title, Annie Duke Poker Tutor is more than just a game where you play mindless hours of poker in an effort to build your play money bankroll.  Instead, it has the added element of teaching …

There are plenty of live and online poker players that have a problem with playing blackjack, and they lose lots of money because of this habit.  Unlike Internet poker, blackjack is not a game that can be beat since the house holds an advantage no matter how well a person plays……that is, unless they know how to count cards. And counting cards is exactly what former blackjack pro Josh Axelrad specialized in as he took casinos for over $700,000 in his short, 5 year career.  Sometimes Axelrad would do so good that he’d earn $18,000 in around 10 minutes of …

Jeff Madsen already makes enough money as a Full Tilt Poker pro, which earns him lots of extra cash through the 27% rakeback deals they offer.  However, Madsen is never one to turn down a nice chunk of extra money and he recently proved this by taking up a prop bet to move to Israel. The prop bet is from a very rich holdem poker player (known only as Manny B). And Manny B apparently makes enough money to where he can offer Madsen $50,000 to live in Israel from April 15th to the start of the WSOP* on May …
