Banging The Drum About The EPT

Day three of EPT Prague begins at noon today, with 95 players returning. As ever on day three, the target is 24 players remaining at the end - they’ll play however many levels are necessary to reach that goal.

The first order of business once the players reconvene will be the money bubble. Here in Prague, 80 players will be paid, which means 15 will yet go home with nothing. There will almost certainly be a slow down in the action as that moment approaches. As ever all the details - action or inaction - will be here.

We happen to like PokerStars a lot, but you can read how they compare to their rivals over at our sister site, Golden Rule Of Poker. Just a quick reminder for newcomers to this blog that we have a page specially dedicated to poker lingo such as “EPT” and all that, if you find it hard to follow the poker blog posts.

Where the Reverse Labouchere System differs from the Labouchere System is in how you deal with wins or losses. In the Reverse Labouchere System you cross off two numbers from your list after each loss, and add the stakes won to the list after each win.

This is an unusual system because it usually results in a small LOSS for the gambler. The upside is that on the occasions you do win the wins can be very large. In this sense it is the very opposite of the Martingale system (see our earlier post for details of how to use the Martingale system).

No lotto results today as Sunday is the lotto’s day of rest.

Today’s lucky random roulette number is 19 Red. Watch out for it at the tables today, and if it makes a show then you know who to contact…

If you prefer not to bet on single numbers, the lucky color today is Red . Good luck to ya’ all!

Audi Dreams From PokerStars

next - who wants a TT just in time for Christmas? Hell who doesn’t? Here’s the low down:

After a few months off the $1 million Turbo Takedown is back and bigger than ever. As you may have read earlier in the week from Otis first prize tonight for one of the 21,423 runners is not only $60,000.00 but this shiny brand new Audi TT RS (I’ll repost the picture because that’s one hot car and like Otis I’ll need a ride to the airport as well that same day and hope you don’t mind driving in snow).

Check out the blog for the picture - if that doesn’t get you drooling then we don’t know what will! Don’t forget to check out our page on poker rules for a beginner if you don’t know your poker ass from your poker elbow….

In addition to the added prize to the pool there are some extra goodies also thrown into the pot. For instance, if you cash in consecutive Turbo Takedowns, the next month you will receive $100 in bonus money (with a set amount of VPPs necessary to clear). Each month you cash, the amount goes up by $100 all the way up to $1,000. Free money on top of free money especially since you cannot buy your way into the Turbo Takedown to begin with.

Time for some weekend poker chat at PokerStars now, and it is

Day Two Of The LAPT :

Rob Woodcock probably went to bed last night dreaming of a repeat final table appearance here in Costa Rica, and going into Day 2 with 147,600 in chips, it wasn’t too remote a fantasy. Woodcock pulled off the rare feat of ending Day 1 as the chip leader here in Playa Conchal just as he did last season in San Jose. However, after taking his seat today, his tournament lasted only another 85 minutes. Within the first half an hour Woodcock lost half his stack to Steven Merriweather, relinquishing chip leader honors to the 24-year old from West Virginia, then saw the rest of it evaporate when he ran his [As][Qd] into Francis-Nicolas Bouchard’s pocket kings.

Woodcock was among the 119 players that returned to play Day 2 of the LAPT Playa Conchal. 40 of them would walk away with at least some cash in their pockets, 30 of them returning tomorrow to play down to the final table.

You can read a full review of the PokerStars site at our sister website, Golden Rule Of Poker - Trusted Poker Sites

All but one of the Team PokerStars Pros that started this event yesterday returned to play Day 2, but only Maria “maridu” Mayrinck and Alexandre Gomes survived to make the money. Humberto Brenes exited during the early going, as did Victor Ramdin who went out on a brutal beat. Ramdin flopped the nut flush against a set, but his opponent hit runner-runner sevens to fill up and send him to the rail.

What Asia can
Learn from Las Vegas, and Vice Versa

Macau has been called the Las Vegas of Asia. Since the casino industry in this Special
Administrative Region of China has already passed Nevada’s famous Strip in gaming revenue, win
per table and handle per machine, perhaps it is Las Vegas that should be dubbed the Macau of the United States.

I have an unique perspective on this development. Like many others, I often act as a consultant and expert witness for governments and industry, in North America and Asia. 
But I also have taught Gaming Law at the University of Nevada-Reno, in China, Spain…

And we just can’t go without mentioning the terrible luck of the Irish last night, when the cheating French destroyed their chances of making the world cup finals with a clear handball. Irish bookmaker Paddy Power has decided to

Refund All Bets Placed On Ireland Making The World Cup Finals

… which is likely to cost them somewhere in the region of $500,000 by all accounts - but it is a very decent thing to do, we think. Just shows the sort of outfit they are - on the gambler’s side every time.

Good luck to anyone playing the French at the world cup!

32Red are turning things upside down by looking at

Gambling Down Under

for their Saturday post :

Having just started to accept Australian Dollars at 32Red I thought now would be a good time to run through some of our most popular online pokies and explain what constitutes an online pokie and the difference between them and slots. Read on to find out.

The Australians pioneered the bonus slot and the free spin element we all enjoy now. Although some people argue that they’re just slots, I’d say they warrant their name given they’re so different from slots from the USA or fruit machines in the UK.

Since the folks at 32Red are rambling on about fruit machines, don’t forget to take a butchers at our very own guide on how to Play fruit machines for fun

Pokies are massively popular Down Under, and for good reason - they produce some huge wins and lots of entertainment. In fact, many of the biggest payouts outside of progressive slot machines have come from online pokies, often breaking the 100,000 Australian Dollar mark. So, given these games carry a hefty jackpot, the question becomes a matter of finding the right pokie for you. Well, here are the top 3 most popular at 32Red - they’re my personal favourites too.

Beach Babes: Okay, the title’s a little corny, but the game really is first-class. The beach theme smacks of Bondi Beach, sun and surf, and what better symbol to launch powerful free spins than the cool box! This one is easy on the eye and generous on the reels, which is probably why when those free spins kick in your balance really feels the benefit! Definitely check out this great online pokie when you get the chance.

You can read all of the rest of Saturday’s post at the 32Red blog - no pics of beach babes, alas. We’re leaving them at this point - well Saturday is meant to be a day off work, in all fairness…

An Interview with James McManus:

Last week I reviewed Cowboys Full: The Story of Poker by James McManus, and mentioned there that I had the chance to interview the author. McManus and I spoke by phone a couple of weeks ago, just before he was about to embark on a book tour to promote Cowboys Full. It was great fun talking with him about the book as well as several other poker-related topics.

As a person interested in not just the history of poker but the history of poker writing — and since Cowboys Full includes references to dozens of other poker narratives — I thought I’d start by asking McManus about this tradition of poker literature into which he’s entered.

We rate Betfair’s Poker room pretty highly, but you can read what their rivals have to offer too over at our sister site, Golden Rule Of Poker - Reputable Poker Rooms

Short-Stacked Shamus: You make reference to a number of other poker books in Cowboys Full. What are some of the ones you believe to be especially good or important?

James McManus: Well, Cowboys Full has a selected bibliography that lists all the books I think are essential. Of course, many of them were from the 19th century, but the key books for me from the 20th and 21st centuries begin with Herbert O. Yardley’s The Education of a Poker Player (1957), which gets three chapters in my book. I think it is important because it is the first blend of tactical advice and riveting poker narrative.

More of the interview can be found by reading Friday’s post at the Betfair blog.

Blind With Excitement

about some changes to their room :

I am really excited about some awesome changes in the blind structures at UB. I designed the structures that we have been using for years and I have always been pretty damn proud of them. But even a good thing can become better and last week I ripped back through those bad boys and made some big changes with the help of Roothlus :) The changes are huge. Amazing. Crazy! Okay. I know I am exaggerating but I am really excited about them.

We have added tons of level including the 250/500 level for all tournaments. That is a big change because it means you don’t get that big 50% jump anymore from the 200/400 level to the 300/600 level. That is a big jump that I am so psyched we have reduced to two 25% jumps instead. IN our deepstack tournaments, we had this crazy 5/10 level in there which, when you start with 5K in chips was pretty useless. So we got rid of that but added in a 25/50 level instead. I love that change. Start a little higher so the hands in the first round might actually matter but smooth out the structure later so you aren’t just losing a level.

Speeds up the action a little, too - we like this change!

The change to the deepstack events is part of a new policy that some tournaments will now have different structures than others, depending on buy-in and starting stack. Tournaments which start with more than 3K in chips now have a different structure than those that start lower and any tournament with a $500 buy-in or more has a new structure. In total:

1) For events 3K chips and higher the 5/10 level has been removed but a 25/50 level has been added.

You can catch up on the full list of changes by swinging by Friday’s post at the UltimateBet blog.
