Another poker room closes suddenly and it seems that online poker is going through its regular spasm of drama. Surely soon the online poker industry will have to have a complete root and branch shake up as the bonus culture that once sustained it becomes almost non-existence, bots are becoming ubiquitous and rake back is clearly hurting […]

Women And Online Poker
Once again online poker is seen as the ruination of women and the further continuation of the fall of civilisation. In a report written by Liz Karter, who is apparently the UK’s most eminent addiction specialist, said that women are becoming more addicted to online gambling specifically poker than drink! The report gives reason for this as […]
JR Died And A Little Of Me Went Too
The TV series Dallas had a brilliant beginning for the episode that showed the death of JR Ewing played by the master Larry Hagman. I watched it because it was on at 11 O’clock at night and it seemed like a piece of history was about to happen and it surely did. From the music that introduced […]
Being Re-Raised In A Re-Buy
My hatred of Re-buying tournament still remain in tact even though I finished in the money the other day. It is clearly great for the poker sites but for me the never ending chance to get sucked into a revenge/vengeance game with a number of players or even worst surrounded by players who want to ‘take […]
Fantasist Of Poker
The problem of being involved in poker, pubs and online marketing is that you do end up dealing with a load of nutters, dreamers and plain downright weirdo’s. I would like to put myself in this category and probably include politicians. C’mon lets be honest when you play poker you are basically putting money on a turn of […]
Why Am I Not Invited?
Have you noticed recently that there are new poker rooms popping up everywhere and loads of people are being invited to them. Loads of people except me! I was wondering that the other day. I do not seem to be invited to anything recently. Not even the rag tag poker club in pubs, and, online […]
Bubble Boy, Again, Twice!
Is it natural to be ‘Bubble Boy’ twice in one night? Was I being careless that I finished twice out of the money by one place? In each situation I could have folded my hands and guaranteed finishing in the money. But how do you throw away pair of aces or even trip 2’s after […]
Tax And Online Poker
The UK finance minister George Osborne is looking into taxing online poker so that off shore companies that earn from UK players have to pay some sort of tax as they squirrel money out of the country to places where they do not pay tax. This is sensible and is well over due. The online […]
Joys Of Online Poker
It has not been missed by regular readers that I do like to moan about getting beaten by a fish that I have been angling for on a online poker game. You find a player who regularly goes for inside straights and basically over plays his hand, then the b*stards gets the inside straight not […]
Things For The New Year
The new year starts now and here are my stupendous thoughts on what will or should happen. The first thing is that Piers Morgan will NOT be deported from America for subverting the 2nd Amendment of the US constitution. This highly amusing waste of time was thought up by some either crazy right wing nutjob or a […]
