Good News !

Hello folk,I just wanted to share some good news today. As some of you may know I had been trying to get the 5th Street Charity Ball added to all of the Merge gaming Network for the last couple months. Had thought that it would be done for the last game but it didn't happen.Well yesterday, one of the mods jumped in to try and help get this done as well . Sometimes a lady can get things done when a man can't , and Scotlady proved once again that a pretty face can work wonders .;-)I'm proud to announce that the Charity Ball is now located at not only Carbon Poker , but Walker, IronDuke , Nordica , Reefer and all the other skins on the Merge Gaming Network as well !Lets see if we can now break that 100 player mark .Thank you,Earl aka: Skinskiwww.houseofpokerblues.comhttp://houseofpokerblues.freeforums.org/

A site for the American Poker Player !!!

Playersonly.com Online Sports Gambling
Room Summary
Players Only is relatively new contender on the market. It is open to US players - it even accepts credit card deposits from US citizens!The poker network's shares its player base with Cake and is expanding, but is still relatively small compared to the largest sites. One positive aspect of a growing site is the influx of new players - many of them from sports book and casino venues - which makes the games loose and interesting.
This site's client was conceived and developed by a number of very dedicated poker players. As a result it possesses a practical lobby, great functionality and focuses on delivering a really good playing experience.
Players Only Poker and the Cake Poker network has attracted an impressive number of players in very short time . They're not among the top ten largest sites yet, but not far from it.
During U.S. peak hours there are always lots of games to choose from ring-game and tournament players alike. Games are busiest at low stakes, varying from relatively loose to extremely loose. The rake is pretty much the industry average, with a "no flop no drop" policy .
Poker Games Offered
Players Only Poker offers Texas Holdem, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7-Card Stud and 7-Card Stud Hi/Lo. Games are played in all the most popular settings, fixed limit, pot-limit, no-limit, full-table, short-handed and heads-up.
Most of the traffic is located to the Texas Holdem tables, but there is usually some action to be found in the other games as well.There is no shortage of poker tournaments either. Both the multi-table and sit-and-go sections are often densely populated. The poker room offers regular multi-table tournaments with guaranteed prize pools, which at occasions may add certain overvalue - keep your eyes open.
Promotions
With Players Only being a new poker room on the market, you can count on some pretty nice promotions. The sign-up bonus is very impressive, and on top of the regular bonus you will also receive an additional 10% reload bonuses.
You get one FPP (frequent player point) for each dollar taken in rake from a ring game where you were dealt cards. You don't have to put any money in the pot to get the FPP, so tight grinders are favored. When it comes to tournament fees, each dollar earns you as much as seven FPP.
There is over $1,000,000 in guaranteed tournament prize money each month, and quite a few other valuable promotions. You will also accumulate Gold Chips as you play, which can be converted into free tournament tickets.

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!

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!
