Keep in mind, that this will only really work for full-ring games. 6-max, and the new 9-max tables will [...]

Now that’s what I’m talking about! PokerNow, recently brought back under the management of the Party Poker folks, is offering a sweet new reload bonus.
30% to $200, 7x raked, 7 days to clear once you claim.
Good to see that bonus out there, which equals about $450 in bonuses from the Party syndicate this month (ok, [...]

Not much content in this post. I, like the others that post here, am a poker junkie, so I’m honored to have a spot here to post random thoughts/results/stuff about poker.
I play a bunch of different games, 2/4 or 3/6 multi-tabling, 5/10 (6 max) are where I make the most money, [...]

It was just over 11 years ago that I walked into my college coaches office and officially ended my baseball career. I have not swung a bat at a live baseball since then. Beer league softball, sure. Baseball? Uh…no.

A thread at BonusWhores.com details a particularly scumbaggy new poker site called LuckyRiverPoker.com. The site had offered a $300 5x bonus and then reneged on their terms after a bunch of players cleared. Now the bonus is 180x!

Emboldened a little by my recent tournament success, and a little more by an unusually healthy bankroll (it’s rare that I play any tourney over $20+2 unless I won a satellite seat or something), I made my WBPT debut last night in an unsuccessful attempt to grab myself a seat at WSOP Event #2.
While winning [...]

I have been gambling on-line now for about two years, doing it seriously for about 4-5 months now. The whole time I heard nothing but negatives about Ultimate Bet. Too tight! Too hard! Bad bonuses!
