Online Identity Crisis?

by Simon Dexter Thursday, March 20th, 2008

Hi guys.

Qualification for the freeroll is based upon how you perform in one of three separate areas: we give a free entry to our top 500 MPP earners, our top 400 tournament players and to those at the top 100 of our Headhunter Leaderboard.

Ear today…

by Simon Dexter Thursday, March 20th, 2008

According to a report published earlier this week, poker enthusiasts are amongst the most demanding customers when it comes to buying headsets for their mp3 players.

From crazy man to philosopher

by Simon Dexter Thursday, March 20th, 2008

Becoming a millionaire on two continents inside six months is not something many poker players achieve, so hats off to John Tabatabai, often labelled the “craziest poker player in the UK” for his win this week in Swaziland’s All Africa Poker Championships. After trousering $1.06 million at the WSOP* last year, Tabatabai won a million rand last week, a sum which may equate to a rather more modest £62,000, but “a win is a win” as they say.

Playing on tilt

by Simon Dexter Thursday, March 13th, 2008

Hi guys,

I’m an ok poker player who often lets his emotions get the better of him. I suspect I’d be a much better player if I didn’t go on tilt as frequently as I do whenever I’m on the receiving end of a bad beat.
