When you start to play poker, you will more than likely be playing lower limit games. To beat these games does not require you to become a masterful poker player, it primarily entails that you are able to outplay poor opponents. - Texas Holdem Strategy By : John Woods

Sit N Go Strategy
Sit N Go Tournaments or games are becoming increasingly popular on the net and a big favorite of mine. If you don’t know what a SnG tournament is I will briefly explain. In a SnG game you purchase a set amount of chips for a set amount of money, say 1000 chips for £30 (plus £3 for the house). The game is played until one player has won everyone else’s chips, players are knocked out along the way as they lose their chips.

Avoiding Tilt
Everybody has suffered from going “on tilt” at some point. Even the best players do and if they think they don’t they are wrong. They just have not noticed because they might only do it slightly.
Going on tilt does not have to mean you just lose it all together and blow your stack, it can just mean you start to play worse than normal and not play your best game.
The trick is to know when you are going on tilt, why you are going on tilt and what to do ab... - Jaime Gold – Grand Prize Winner – 2006 World Series Of Poker By : Kenneth Bateman
Not so very long ago poker was just another card game, but not anymore. Poker has evolved – thanks to The World Series of Poker and the World Poker Tour – into what might almost be considered a “sport” attracting unprecedented player participation, and literally “legions” of fans.

An all-time record was established at the 2006 World Series of Poker when an impressive 8,773 players registered to compete in the $10,000 buy-in Texas hold ‘em event. At the end of four days of intensive play, the field had been cut to nine remaining players who made it to the final table and would vie for the WSOP Championship. Who were these players? They were not the high profile players that were expected to be at that final table. In fact, four time bracelet winner Alle... - The Intercontinental Poker Championship By : Kenneth Bateman
There seems to be no question that televised poker tournaments now rival golf and tennis as a most watched spectator sport. The popularity of televised poker has grown to unforeseen proportions, primarily due to the popularity of such high profile poker tournaments as The World Series of Poker and the World Poker Tour.

The world of online gambling is growing by leaps and bounds. It's so darn convenient too. However, if you are not careful you could run into trouble. - Beating Video Poker By : Adel Awwad
Playing video Poker can be a much different experience than it’s real life counterpart. The biggest of these differences is that you are only playing against yourself. This means that you do not need to worry about if a fellow player is bluffing or really has a better hand than you. This can work to your advantage or against you. For example, although it may give you more control over whether you win or lose with a good hand, you also cannot win big on a poor hand. Below are ... - Guide To Betting Horse Racing By : Sebastien Veilleux

Online gaming won a small victory in 1999, when the Internet Gambling Prohibition Act failed to achieve the two-thirds majority vote necessary for passage in the House of Representatives as required by law.

As it is now being enforced in 2006 by an anti-internet gambling United States Government, the law as it has been amended in the Federal Criminal Code makes it unlawful f... - Poker Terminology By : Will Win

It’s hard to believe, but it has only been about ten years since internet gambling really got underway. Around the tail end of 1996, sports books had taken their place on the internet, and other forms of gambling were quickly following.
A big step forward was taken when the slow and often cumbersome procedure of wiring money and sending cashiers checks gave way to credit card processing online. Then came still another innovation to spur on the rapid growth of online gaming... - The Internet Gambling Prohibition A By : Kenneth Bateman
Thursday May 25, 2006, was “a day of infamy” for the online gambling industry, for that was the day that the House Judiciary Committee passed HR 4777, otherwise known as the Internet Gambling Prohibition Act. Right on the heels of that passage came HR 4411, or the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement. The House Judiciary Committee favors that bill as well, and both bills seem likely to be reinforced when submitted to the U.S. House of Representatives.

Whether you are a first time online gambler or a well-seasoned vet, the sign-up bonus is an ever-present part of online casino advertising. You’ll see them even on the banners listed within this site, casino’s essentially offering “free money” as a reward for signing up with their casino.

The United States Department of Justice has declared internet gambling sites to be illegal, a violation of three separate sections of Title 18 of the United States Code.
Land-based casinos stand silent, careful to avoid making any public observations pro or con, on this obviously sensitive issue regarding a multi-billion dollar industry. Why the silence?
