Supporters say it’s a harmless bit of fun designed to bring racing to a wider audience, while critics argue team events have no place on a big day’s racing. Yes, folks, it’s Shergar Cup day again.

Weekend poker chat at PokerStars

is our next port of call :

Thomas Boekhoff has a job.

It’s eight hours a day, in front of a computer, slaving away with his top money management skills. Frankly, it doesn’t sound very fun until one realizes Boku87 is playing poker, and playing it so well he can start without a bankroll and end with more money than a lot of people make in a given year.

(Just a quick reminder for those thinking of following Boku87’s example that we have a page specially dedicated to Poker Rules For Beginners)

It’s only been a few months since Boekhoff inspired the poker world by turning $100 into $10,000 in just two weeks and under some pretty tough restrictions. Afterward, he suggested he might just do something else, something bigger, something even more inspirational.

Well, now he is doing it. Boekhoff is vowing to turn $5 into $100,000 in one year.

Intriguing stuff, and you can read the rest of Saturday’s post at the PokerStars blog. We’re leaving you to your weekend for now - Saturday is supposed to be a day off work, after all…
