Sun, 09 May 2010 14:38:03 +0000

First of all, I would like to start by saying that it is not a custom thing, an online casino trying to hack you. But since we are talking about the Internet here, and as you all know Internet hacks are numerous, it’s not a bad idea to read about how to avoid such online casino scams.

Let’s start with the obvious – Never play in an unknown brand. We have here a respectable list of well known and trusted online casino brands that you can choose from. There’s no reason for you to go and try to find small online casinos on the web with no recommendation to go with it.

Be careful of Big Bonuses – There are reasonable bonuses, and then there are completely fantastic bonuses. If it sounds too good to be true, it is probably fiction meant to draw you in and taking your money.

Incredible winning odds – It’s the same principle as the bonuses issue. There are reasonable winning odds, which are pretty much the same in all online casino sites. If you bump into an out of the ordinary one, make sure you look for some casino reviews about that specific online casino before you put in a money deposit.

Check for a known licensing certificate – There are local gambling certificates and there are international ones. You can see the list of certifications usually at the bottom section of the site. Check those certificates out, visit their sites. If you’re an experienced casino player you would probably recognize them by their logos.

Check the gaming software – visit their site, look for reviews about them. There are some well known once that you can defiantly truck such as Neogames, Playtech, Microgaming etc.

That’s it. Hope this will be useful for you and save you some money and a broken heart.

Annie Duke is defiantly one of my favorite woman poker player. She is the second most winning woman player in the all time winning trail, right after kathy liebert, with a remarkable $1.6 million in career tournament earnings. But this is not why she earned my great appreciation. The thing about Annie Duke is her unique playing style. She is relaxed and communicative. If you watch her playing with other big shots in the field, you might be surprised that she manages to win at all. While most of the other poker players in the table tend to keep their eyes on the table, ware sun dark glasses or hide below a concealing hat, Annie Duke is completely open, uncovered, smiling, talking, joking around and keeping the atmosphere easy going and again, relaxed. As far as it goes for this writer, this is the way to play poker.

Two weeks after the big Berlin poker tournament robbery local police has released to the public that 2, out of 4 suspects were detained this last Saturday.

The two are fairly young – 20, 21-year-old and it seem that they don’t have much experience in these sort of things. One of them has surrendered himself and the other was arrested two days after. Two more suspects are still missing but the police has their names and is looking for them.

According to the hotel they could have got away with more, but one of the hotel security guards managed to take back for one of the robbers a bag that had half a million Euros in it.

If your plan is to learn by playing against people that knows how to play and try to pick it up along the way I can tell you one thing – you are going to lose a lot of money before you’ll know enough to win just one hand, and I am not even starting to talk about online poker games, where it is impossible to learn from playing against other online poker players.
