Full Tilt Poker will attempt to stamp its name on the Guinness Records and to do so; the site has announced that it will try to set a new record for the Largest Online Poker Tournament. Full Tilt’s Record Breaker tournament was unveiled as the finale to FIVE, a week of events and promotions created exclusively to celebrate the site’s 5^th anniversary. The tournament will take place on July 19th at 15:05ET, players can buy in for this event for only $5 or 1000 Full Tilt Points and compete for a share of a $250,000 guaranteed with $250,000 added prize pool. Players can also get entries to this event by playing the online satellites available on the site and starting for as little as 30 cents or 50 Full Tilt Points.

Team Full Tilt pros and WSOP bracelet winners Howard Lederer, Chris Ferguson and Phil Ivey have already confirmed they will take part in the event, offering players the chance to sit down at this historic tournament and play with some of the best high stakes and tournament pros in the world.

“By extending the limits of what is possible in online poker tournaments, Full Tilt Poker will allow players to compete for a big payout without the big buy-in,” said Team Full Tilt member Howard Lederer.

Putting together a poker tournament of this magnitude would be nearly impossible for any brick and mortar casino or poker room. The current record for the largest “live” poker tournament was set at the 2006 WSOP Main Event with 8,772 players. To break the current Guinness Record set by PokeStars.com in December, 2008, Full Tilt Poker will need to attract over 35.000 players. If successful, this tournament will establish Full Tilt Poker as World Record holder and cement its reputation as a world leader in online poker industry.

On Sun., Nov. 30th CBS will premiere their special “How Online Gamblers Unmasked Cheaters”. This special was filmed after a 16-week research into the online Texas Hold’em industry and particularly a cheating scandal with the online poker site Absolute Poker.

This poker page was studied after some of the poker players on the website stated that a poker player was illegally winning a great amount of cash. Todd Witteles was a vital player in this research, according to Witteles; he was losing large amounts of money to the exact same Texas Hold’em poker player. Witteles claimed that this player was raising against incredibly good poker hands, anyone would have assumed he was basically giving his money to the other players, but he was unbelievably winning quite often.

Witteles was quite correct in his assumptions, it was later shown that a player with knowledge of the site was able to see any poker player’s hole cards. At first, Absolute Poker said that there were no faults with the room or the Texas Hold’em poker competitor. After numerous players moved forward with accusations, the Texas Hold’em site examined further into the problem and found the problem.

By Jan. of 2008, the gaming commission uncovered what the Texas Hold’em poker competitors and the poker website had suspected all along. It turned out that, there was an employee who had broken through the Texas Hold’em poker room’s security system and was playing poker illegitimately for more or less six weeks. The research proved that the poker page had not benefited from the illicit activities in any way, and was in no way, shape or form implicated.

These circumstances are further proof that there should be more laws in regards to online poker websites. The United States government should authorize and legalize the online poker business to defend these honorable customers. These laws would also regulate the access to these pages by children, which tends to be another concern these days.

The benefits of internet poker versus actual poker rooms are endless, but besides these benefits there are also some shortcomings.

The game of Texas Hold em poker is a game of proficiency as well as absolute focus, no matter if you are playing Texas Holdem at home, or in a real poker room.

Perhaps, the most prevalent slip-up that Full Tilt Poker players commit is by competing in more than one table at once. The better part of amateur online Texas Holdem poker players will assume that this is a good thought, but ultimately it might workout to be a detriment.

Remember to direct your mind on the other online Texas Holdem player’s bets, their aim, and your own internet poker hands if you want to be the best poker player.

While on the other hand, many players win far beyond the expectations of even the United States government, which tends to expect a lot, making for another unfair case of taxation, although this time in the favor of the gamer. With the concept of billing the player by their available funds, rather than what they actually win, the United States government is being un-believably harsh, as many players simply do not win on a regular basis, making the level of taxation highly unfair for those types of players.

With this famously draconian policy against online poker rooms and casinos, the United States government leaves little doubt that there is no room for free enterprise and the American way on the Internet. With the extraordinarily concerted effort by the United States government to crack down on the online poker rooms and casinos that are so prevalent on the Internet such as Fulltiltpoker.com, it seems strange to think that only a few years ago online poker rooms and casinos operated with autonomy. Fortunately, there are no end of lawyers and even judges who have come down against the almost brutal ruling by the United States government to tax online poker rooms and online casinos out of existence in America.

With all of these extremely difficult to comprehend rules and aggressive criminalization of online poker sites and casinos, it seems very obvious that the government has little concern for the needs of the player and is only interested in generating revenue for the legislators and lawmakers that all have their hand in the pot. One method of restricting players ability to earn is the 2% tax on the player’s bankroll that has been proposed and looks as if it may pass. While it is already considered to be strange enough that the government has eliminated any possibility of United States citizens from sharing in the profits that these online poker rooms and casinos generate, it would seem that this is not enough and another, additional step is required, forcing players out of the online poker rakeback programs and online casinos altogether. After releasing all manner of different types of legislation that prohibits players from funding their bankrolls through American banking institutions as well as dictating how much and how little internet poker rooms and internet casinos can dole out in the manner of residual income sharing programs, the United States government has continued to look into ways to restrict players abilities to generate income through these types of Internet poker rooms
