Anybody who has played online poker long enough knows that it’s a game of swings – especially at the high stakes. Even with this being said, it’s worth nothing that Gus Hansen, Patrik Antonius, and Di “Urindanger” Dang have already earned $1.5 million in 2011 – and we’re not even two months into the year! It’s not surprising that all three players play at Full Tilt Poker because this site has one of the highest rakeback offers at 27%.

Did you ever play the game Snakes and Ladders as a kid? If not, who cares because the important thing is that PlayersOnly Poker is giving away $35,000 each month through their Snakes and Ladders promotion. And it’s interesting that PlayersOnly is giving away $35k in cash each month because they also offer 35% rakeback deals.

After splitting heads-up matches against Isaac Haxton and Tony G, Viktor “Isildur1” Blom now has a winning record in the PokerStars SuperStar Showdown with his recent victory over Dan “jungleman12” Cates.

Instead of earning online poker money the right way through hard work and rakeback, Ashley Mitchell chose to do it the easy/illegal way by stealing 400 billion chips from Facebook’s poker provider Zygna. Mitchell, who is an IT businessman from the UK, hacked into Zygna’s holdem poker application, then transferred 400 billion poker chips to his Facebook accounts. So how much can 400 billion in free poker chips be worth? According to Zygna, the 400 billion chips are worth over $12 million, which makes this a pretty serious offence. What makes the situation even more serious is the fact that …
