Are Hull going to have a Hull of a season? Betfair’s thoughts are well worth a read:

Ed’s column proved popular with betting.betfair.com readers last season, and by the end of the season it was also very profitable. He finished the season with an impressive 37.93pts profit from 184.95 pts staked incorporating 156 bets over the year. Here are his choices in week one.

Apologies for leaving the highly popular Ed there, but if your appetite has been whetted check out Friday’s full length post at the Betfair blog.

Meanwhile the bloggers over at UltimateBet

have this slightly more laid back than usual post for us :

This week has been a pleasantly quiet one after the rock’n’roll shennanigans of the previous one, which has been great as it’s meant I have been able to catch up on the good things like poker, reading and seeing old friends. The last one was especially important as all the travelling I’ve been doing had been making keeping up with everyone back home really hard! Otherwise, I’ve been pretty busy playing the new Seven Deuce tables here on UB and planning for my impending trip to Macau for the Asian Poker Tour event which is next week. I’m SO excited!! The other thing that’s been taking up an unhealthy amount of time is trying to decide on a new phone since my old trusty one got broken in Vegas. After a barrage of everyone telling me to get a damn iphone, I decided to go with the sexy new HTC. Damn you iphoners!!! A really cool thing I found out recently is that I’m getting an endorsement from Schecter guitars, and awesome US based guitar company that make absolutely beautiful guitars. I’m pretty blown away by this as despite the fact that I’ve played on and off since I was seventeen, I’m obviously not in a proper band and am certainly not a famous guitarist!! I’m hopefully getting the first one sent to me sometime over the next few weeks so there will be a new baby to the collection. I’ll get some pictures up soon :-)

Sorry for cutting the hard working UltimateBet bloggers off in mid-flow, but you can read the rest of Friday’s post at the UltimateBet blog.

There’s A Supernova At PokerStars Today

Fancy a change of job? How about playing poker for a living? :

ps_news_thn.jpgYou’ve seen them all over–the people who luckboxed their way into a major score and used that score to work their way into the big time poker scene. It’s a tale told too many times to be told again. Fortunately, there are stories out there that don’t follow that formula. Just ask Mark Ioli.

Don’t suggest Ioli simply stumbled into his success. Not only is it not true, but for a guy who quit school to work full time, it might be a little offensive. Moreover, you’d be insulting one of the elite…the VIP Supernova Elite.

Don’t forget, if you want to try and follow in Ioli’s footsteps you can learn the rules of poker over at our sister site, where we have a page dedicated to Poker Rules For Beginners

“Before the year started I made up my mind I would get Elite,” Ioli told us. “It’s certainly not something that happens on accident.”

Ioli, a 21-year-old from Long Island, New York was a University of Maryland finance major who found poker during his time in college. After two years of study, he made a calculated decision. He left school and focused on poker full time. He moved to Queens, set up his office, and now works a regular job…on PokerStars.

Read more about Ioli’s rise to stardom by checking out the full post at the PokerStars blog.
