Poker Investigation Story will air on 60 Minutes

Posted under online poker & online poker sites & poker players

dan druff
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.

These distractions can in fact cost them excellent poker hands and most likely their hard-earned Texas Holdem Poker chips. 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. This method of playing several tables in sequence will impair your awareness and finally cost you poker money. Don’t forget that even the best Texas Holdem poker players in the world will commit harmful mistakes when concentrating their mind on different online Texas Holdem tables at once.

Any given internet poker player, may at any point, find themselves playing various internet poker tables at the same time, at the same time as they are watching TV, reading their favorite websites, calling their friends etc. This is a scenario which ought to be avoided if you want to win poker games and meet the requirements for big internet poker tournaments. 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.

Democrats Pushing for Legalization of Online Poker

Posted under online poker & poker & poker event & poker laws

Shortly after the beginning of last week’s charity poker event to support the Paralyzed Veterans of America, Ben Affleck goes all-in with a flop of Ace-Nine-King and two diamonds. He winces when two of his opponents call the bet. He yells “Re-buy”, but the turn is a seven of hearts. Affleck is disappointed when a jack of diamonds is dealt on the river. He took the hand seriously even though there was no real cash at stake. This is just the kind of thing that Affleck and several other poker enthusiasts are lobbying for.

Over $100,000 was raised for the paralyzed victims, but this was not the only purpose of the poker game held in Coors Field. Members of the Poker Players Alliance are working very hard to legalize online poker in the United States. As part of their agenda, they are pushing to repeal the 2006 legislation Congress passed which bans U.S. Banks and credit card companies from processing transactions related to internet gaming websites.

John Pappas, executive director of the Poker Players Alliance, is optimistic about the direction that the new congress will lead this decision. Pappas says that the alliance is pushing for a licensed industry, just for online poker, and not for all internet gaming. Pappas is interested in having a safe, regulated industry that all Americans can enjoy. The group is fighting for the rights of people and the privacy they deserve in their own home.

“There are misconceptions about poker and about internet poker,” poker pro Andy Bloch said in between hands during the charity celebrity poker event. “Some people think that internet poker is gambling like a slot machine, and it’s not.”

The new era of poker

Posted under casino hotel & casino poker & online poker & poker

Can you imagine walking into a well known Las Vegas, Nevada hotel and seeing no dealers, chips, or cards? Well if this seems difficult to believe, you may be in for a big shock. The Las Vegas based casino Excalibur is now testing with this new revolutionary idea of automating everything from the dealers, to the actual poker tables. Owners from the casino hotel are going to equip the rooms with 12 electronic machines for a six-month trial period.
The North-Carolina based business PokerTek is in charge of the computer machines, which are redoing the way poker will be played in Vegas. The business already has 230 machines around the world, with the largest located in Casino du Montreal (a total of 25 machines were installed in this Canadian casino hotel).
So what are the downsides of this alteration? For starters, about 40 Excalibur poker dealers will be searching for new employment. Some of these dealers have been functioning at the casino since its opening in 1990. Todd DeRemer, Excalibur’s Vice President of Casino Operations, says that the poker dealers will be offered other dealer careers in the same casino hotel.
According to DeRemer, the renovation is being made to give rookie players a chance to play this popular game without feeling intimidated. He had already played these new machines before deciding upon the makeover. “It’s not intimidating”, he says, “We think that feature will bring back the players”.
The better machines will allow the poker players to play Texas hold’em, seven card stud and Omaha. 40-inch flat screen tv’s, which are located in the center of the table, will show each table’s community cards, poker player’s stakes and the pot.
