Pokerknave Blogger Tournament

For those who regular read this blog you will probably realise that my attention to details can be a bit suspect. In fact it could be said that I have the attention span of a gnat. However, you will also notice that I do come up with some brilliant promotion and today I announce another to get the juices flowing.

Again with Mansion Poker we have an exclusive Texas Hold Em tournament, which on paper is insignificant but in practice is all about bragging rights. Who is the best poker playing blogger?

So many bloggers write about poker, now lets see how they actually play. I will be inviting bloggers from all over the world, except from the home of poker the U.S of A! It still astound me that the nation who brought us poker, the commercialisation of the Internet, the concept of the ‘pursuit of happiness’ as a constitutional right and the mighty dollar, are not allowed to play poker online – but I digress!

So the turbo tournament takes place on Sunday 21st of February 2010, at 8pm GMT (20:00) and the entry fee is a paltry $1.00+0.10, with a guaranteed prize money of $150 so the action will be fast and furious, all courtesy of Mansion Poker.

Click either the banner on this page or this link. Do not forget the bonus code PKNV.

Don’t forget the tournament on Sunday 14th of February which is the St Valentines Day Tournament.This one is a freeroll and the prize money is $150. Again this all starts at 8pm GMT. The bonus code is PKNV.

Its that time again a day to chuck away money on the person you want to have sex with for the next year or so. If you do not spend tons of cash on chocolates, flowers, dinner, wine and song you might as well go live in a monastery and kiss good bye to carnal knowledge for ever!

So to help all those love sick puppies out there to put some money back into your pocket, we have organised a freeroll competiton to help with the finances. Obviously that means you have to sort out the fluff earlier on and make sure that your partner is well and truly drunk so that they do not bother you and your mission to play Texas Hold ‘Em for real cash.

I am not being a cynic but just hate the idea of a day designed by greeting card companies taking over my life effectively. This causes me great heart ache because the day becomes one big ‘my gift is bigger than your gift’ day, and, if you don’t measure up you are in trouble.

In the past I have gone out of my way to create a row then making up on the day because any present given is a result, but those days are over and it is now a straight trade off. So my advice to those people out there is do breakfast and lunch, make sure loads of alcohol is consumed by your partner or the object of your desire and then the rest of the day is yours.

The session starts at 20:00 (8pm GMT) and the blinds go up every 10 minutes.

Remember to click the banner and it will take you to Mansion Poker to go and register or follow this link <ST VALENTINES TOURNAMENT>

Playing poker like 7 of 9 from Star Trek is feasible, but very boring.

Is the online game about to go into meltdown? All the companies are offering the same incentives; all the firms are trying the same marketing strategies. No one firm is radically different. If you go on one site it is so anonymous that you could be at any site.

If like me you try different site, you could close your eyes and you could be on anywhere. The chat is just as inane, the games are just as ‘mechanical’. Unless you’re one of those super duper players who can play 8 plus machines at a time or have the patience of Job to grind out a profit then after a couple of hours you crave for human contact. If they don’t then they must be like 7 of 9 from Star Trek!

It is clear that the fishes have clocked on and are not as generous with their money as they were at the beginning of the internet poker boom. That stands to reason really, there are so many videos and reading material out there, that if you do not look at some of them by now then please give me a message and I will help relieve you of your money – thank you very much.

I have been banging on about the need for an online poker revolution to enhance the casual player’s experience. It’s like Space Invaders or Tetris – great when it came out but the graphics/format needs sorting.

Most poker firms seem to rely on a carousel method of getting new players and the customers are willing to oblige. So now there are a myriad of cake back, rake backs and bonus points all over the place.

The free rolls are getting more and more extravagant with £1 million prizes almost de rigour. However, it is beginning to look like a ponzi scheme. I just have a feeling that internet poker is going to eat itself. I have no hard and fast evidence to back my claim up just the info I hear from other poker players and people who work in the industry. The story is pretty much the same and what you have heard is what I have read and read so you know exactly what is going on.

It sounds like the poker managers do not like giving out rake backs and other incentives but do so because there is no alternative. If there is then someone would have done it by now. There is a vision but it will take a change in mindset, new regulation/laws from the US and some serious technological changes all of which is not forth coming very soon.

However if things do not change then like all ponzi schemes it will eventually collapse and that will be that. Will it end betting and gambling over the internet – nah but it will be different. Human contact is a very under-rated social activity. If it wasn’t so important then why would solitary confinement be so dangerous?

Online poker has changed the way we have fun/work/enjoy addiction, so it will not go away. The bubble created will burst but what will be left no one knows. The news that Ladbrokes is freezing staff wages for the next year is a major signal that peer-2-peer betting is making great inroads into the gaming market, and, that includes poker.

I think it is time for the players to raise their voices and demand better experience for our buck. If we don’t then why change things?

Marius rating for poker blog chart

After a report from Marius and various views from some of the Poker Totty’s I am now in the middle of re-vamping the website as a Poker blogging engine, as well as a window into the world of fashion and glamour. This is to tie in with the 1st anniversary of the launch of pokerknave.com, and, hopefully this will make the use of the website much more easy to use and to utilise.

Although there is a relatively easy to read guide to playing Texas Hold Em, there is also a need to come up with a page for Omaha. Also, when it comes to writing about the lifestyle of a poker player there is a need to simplify the basic functions such as uploading pictures, video and other media stuff. Plus we need to add social bookmark buttons to make it easy to promote the blogs.

More links to modelling agency and casino’s would be an area of further interest as part of the PokerKnave Poker Klub, which believe or not is very difficult at the moment because we have a particular line (fun) with quite a prominently independent online presence (we do and say what we want).

On the fun side of poker playing it would be good for a definitive guide to playing strip poker – including reverse strip poker, with maybe a video to illustrate the tactics and the outcome of such a game. Not because I want to show copious amount of naked flesh (heaven forbid), but to help newby’s to this game have some sort of reference point to the game.

As for the area of live poker games there have been various enquiries about tipping within casino’s especially those located in Las Vegas. I have not been to Las Vegas, but I know that in the UK it is really hot issue with establishments especially restaurants using the tips as part of the wages, which was pretty standard. Quite clearly I am against this dubious practice and a definitive guide should be done on this subject.

Being a premier online poker blogging website it is clear that issues such as poker rake backs, cash backs, free roll tournament strategy and other such things need to be explained as this can lead to total confusion for the recreational players who can get confused by all these schemes. To tell you the truth it confuses me and I am minded to say where there is a scheme, there is a schemer! I will say no more.

The industry is changing and we will be changing to reflect this, however, we will never submit to anyone who want to us to be a straight forward poker, site we will always be eclectic, we will always be irreverent about the world of poker and also comment on other things which on the face of it have nothing to do with poker but as you know my view is life is a poker game just as silly and raw. I would like your views on this so send me a message – ideally it should be on the forum but I am to anally retentive to let spammers have their way so drop me a line via this link <CONTACT>.
