Players bracing for the UIGEA

Placing a wager at online casinos for US based players is set to get a whole lot tougher in just a few days time. Unfortunately, the stage is set for that federal law signed in 2006 and known as the UIGEA to come into force on 1 June.

Poker bots: good or bad?

Personally, the jury is still out for me on whether poker bots are a good development or not for the online poker industry. In case you’re not familiar with the term, online poker bots are computer programs that help poker players to win based on the statistical data that is fed to them. It’s obviously argued by many that those players who rely on poker bots receive an unfair advantage over the others players...

Let it Ride Poker

Let it Ride Poker is another of the many poker variations circulating and is very similar to 5-card stud poker in case you’re familiar with that.

Poker Joke

Casino JokesI think it’s always a good idea to have a poker joke or two up your sleeve when you sit down to play a few rounds with mates – especially when you take that big fat pot.

I asked him about this once and...

Bwin – Here, There and Everywhere

I got to hand it to Bwin. More than an online poker room, they are true leaders in body and spirit (and website) of the industry as a whole. For instance, this recent legal issue with Portugal. Although the legal challenge by the poker company has ended in a loss (for now), they were those to challenge the Portuguese government. Masters of poker strategy as they are, I am quite confident this move will turn...

Everyday Poker Jargon

Most non-poker players probably don’t even realize how much poker jargon they use in their everyday life. I came across this list the other day and found it quite amusing just how widespread and popular poker jargon actually is. So many poker phrases have become a part of our culture and are used in daily conversation without being aware of their origins. So here are a few of the more common ones for you...
