well i guess my first blog post should be about me

Posted by quibbles on April 13, 2008 at 2:37pm

I come from the uk and have been playing cards for as long as i can remember yep from the age of about 4 i guess gets a bit hazy before then, started out playing 3 card brag had a dad that was a bookmaker and a bit of a gambler, so i guess it rubbed off, some of you may not have heard of the game but lets say brag is probably the closest game to poker but requiring more skill in reading your opponent (yes i kid you not) . probably where i get my world class hand reading skills from :-), any way I'm now a webmaster i currently have 2 websites and i'm working on a 3rd not easy though as this one is going to be pretty unique as it's all about online poker strategy , so I'm currently seeking help from some of the best Internet players i know to help create some of the unique articles not an easy task, bu hopefully will be worth the effort in order to give players a better understanding and insight into online poker.

Atlantic City! VEGAS! CRY ME A RIVER!

Posted by Tom Dwyer on April 9, 2008 at 3:00am

Boo Hooo! ATLANTIC CITY! CRY ME A RIVER!!!In the NEWS yesterday (my local Standard Speaker, Hazleton Pa) - HEADLINE READS "Economic slowdown could lead casinos to end perks"It should have read! Atlantic City/Vegas Casinos (American Casinos) - A Portrait of GREED! They WANT it ALL!I got news for the CASINOS - Most gamblers I talk to are more worried about their kids.. & food and gas prices than playing in casinos these days.. They are going to VEGAS/Atlantic City NO WHERE near the amount THEY ONCE DID - I think this is a very good thing. The casinos over the past 20 years have been putting it to gamblers hard. The industry has built PLASTIC palace after PLASTIC palace and conditioned people that it's OK to lose it all!To this I say! WAKE UP PEOPLE!THIS IS BULL SHIT - With a capitol ba ba baahh "B!"Continued with PICTURES - http://www.standbackworld.blogspot.com (tell one tell ALL!) Thanks!

Story behind the Charity Ball

Posted by Earl on April 6, 2008 at 2:39pm

Just wanted to let everyone know how the Charity Ball was started and why. As my good friend Brad said , it's been a long hard road . The poker event is going on a couple years old now , and the number of players have remained about the same . I'd like to see this game get a much bigger player base , but what we raise is better than nothing.You can read the full story on how the game got started , and a surprise at the end by Clicking Here .

Oh wow!

Moving Forum Hosts !

Posted by Earl on March 31, 2008 at 5:17pm

As some of you know , the host site for the House Forum has been awful bad with server problems . My patience has been worn out with it , and I would imagine that some others has as well .We decided to make a move to phhBB..I had stayed away from them before due to running adds , but they seem to be the best thing going ( it's what most folk are using), so we are moving . Most of the mods and myself worked yesterday at moving some stuff to try and make a better forum . This will be the final resting place folk , and I've went ahead and paid to keep the host sites adds off . :-)So please come over to the forum and register...Thank you ,Earl aka: Skinskiwww.houseofpokerblues.com

Playing Hold'em on the WWW...

Posted by Club Hottie's on March 28, 2008 at 2:30pm

Wow, I thought the internet was slow...disconnections...freeze ups, And maybe...I just get a little to excited when I hold those hot pair of aces in my hand, either way...they don't always win! But when your computer freezes with that hot pair staring up at you...and there are 2...yes 2!!!! more Aces on the FLOP, you have bet pot which was at 200$, DAMN IT! All of the sudden your connection returns...and there you are.... AUTOMATICALLY FOLDED! If it has happened to you...you know what I am talking about. And picture me sitting at my desk, staring at the computer and my face as red as my hair...sinking lower and lower...the redheaded temper arising! I guess I am going to have to stick to the real money playing at the casino! LOL.

sportsunit/usdbet/skyland poker

Posted by Lkport on March 27, 2008 at 1:41pm

Hey asked the owner of www.sportsunit.com why his e-mail messages came from usdbet@infotech.webair.com .Tracked down the domain. They create turnkey web presenceshttp://infotech.webair.com/portfolio/portfolio.phpInfinite InfotechOddly, the only betting related work they have done is USDBet.com , www.sportsunit.com , and skylandpoker.com .Sportsunit used to be linked to on the usdbet homepage, and now sportsunit promotes skyland poker heavily.I pointed all this out in a post on the sportunit site, saying it seemed a pretty odd coincidence. My account at sportsunit was banned for "posting garbage".I get no answer, no explanation, I guess I have no choice but to spread my "garbage" all over the web.Use this info any way you like, the usdbet stuff is old news that most people probably aren't that interested in anymore.
