Bankroll too small?
Wednesday, June 11th, 2008Some players are more suited for the bigger games. If you have been in the business for a while you know that. The game is different at the small stakes and some players are born high stake players. The problem you have with your game might actually be that you don’t play with the people you are supposed to play with. Maybe a bigger bankroll and higher stakes will let you become the player you really are.
This is not an unusual problem, that’s why sometimes someone will be prepared to stake you. If you are lucky you can find someone that will get you the money your bankroll needs. The brand new site Cardlovers.com will actually do it to their players. If you need a bigger bankroll they will step up and make sure you get it.
This is an amazing offer from a Poker site and it will probably even work out well for them. Their poker players will be pretty much in love with the Lovers after a thing like that.

22 year old Glen Chorny wins EPT Monte Carlo
Saturday, April 19th, 2008A 22 year old student from Canada named Glen Chorny has made himself famous, at least for this year, and he has made himself 2 million euros as well. Glen Chorny came to the European Poker Tour from a satellite on Pokerstars. The Canadian economy student managed to beat the Hungarian Denes Kalo heads up with A5 vs KQ. Chorny could leave the beautiful Monte Carlo with a little more money then he came and he’ll need those economy studies in a completely different way today.

French Casinos are Affected by Anti-tobacco Decret
Wednesday, March 5th, 2008After the controversial smoking ban law was put into effect this year, Enghien-les-Bains, the first french casino, shows a serious fall of its sales turnover since the beginning of the year. Its financial loss represents already 1,5 million euros.
In order to restitue it’s revenue, the casino issued a complaint to the Higher Comission of Gaming in order to get new tables of Hold’em poker and slot machines.
Concerning the question of tobacco near the players, some see this application like a relief. Nevertheless, the legislatioin is very unpopular among players, and the majority disaproves this law. Apparently, tobacco brings a better stimulation to the play and even, some players claim, it helps them stay awake. Dissatisfaction regarding the ban are numerous and increasing.
A woman even suggests installing machines under the open air. Another player explains how this ban has made him enjoy much more the online action at his favorite online poker site- Pokerloco.com.
Due to this restrictioin, more and more casinos in France are being emptied. Would this be their end and a new era for online poker ?
We leave it up to you to answer…

Ongame/Bwin vs Rakeback
Monday, February 18th, 2008Ongame Ntwork haven’t allowed Rakeback for their partners for quite a long period. Many of the partners have had repetitive bonuses of different kinds though and these have been available on Rakeback sites. For legal reasons Ongame and the owner Bwin disagrees with this and are now making the rules a bit tougher. From now on Ongame partner aren’t allowed to be mentioned on Rakebacks sites. The question is how the poker rooms can handle this. They can of course stop paying CPA to the sites offering rakeback but if someone wanted to make trouble for a site in the Ongame Network they can just start a rakeback site and link to the site in question. It would be especially funny if it was to one of Ongames own sites, how will they handle that? Will they kick Pokerroom out of the network?
