			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Poker players take to the casinos in huge numbers <br />  by Thursday ,25 Aug 2011        In the wake of Black Friday many US poker pros have been making regular trips to the local casino The events of April 15th that have come to be known as Black Friday have left a huge mark on the online gaming community of North America. It is estimated that tens of millions of American citizens enjoyed playing poker online and thousands made their living from the game. An elite few were “fully sponsored pros” meaning that they were able to play with someone else’s money and split the profits. When the online game was taken away from citizens of the United States the thousands of men and women who depended on online poker for their livelihood were left without a source of income. Former online players have dealt with these changes in a number of ways. Some have left the United States for Canada and other countries where it is legal to play, others have gone to the local casinos to play in live tournaments and tables leading to a massive increase in the number of players playing live. One former fully sponsored pro poker player is Bryan Trischetta. The fact that he can’t play online anymore ensured that he had to start making regular visits to Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs casino room to make some money. “It’s a numbers game,” He says of poker, the game he used to play on as many as 10 tables at the same time. “The more you play, the better you do.” Bryan’s highest place finish since playing live casino tables was $3,176 for a 6th place finish at the Mohegan Sun which was the biggest tournament in the history of the casino. “Until Black Friday, I came here to get away,” Trischetta laments. “Now, I’m coming all the time, primarily to play the tournaments.” Trischetta is still looking to produce the kinds of results that he was able to come up with everyday online and has done well in the events held at the casino having cashed in three of the four biggest events the Mohegan Sun has held since Black Friday. Each time he cashed he made it to the final table coming seventh out of 119 in April for $1,154 and ninth out of 102 in May for $618 in the $285 buy-in events. There are many players in the same position as Bryan, all of them attempting to make a living in the casinos of the United states.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chris Harder talks about Black Friday <br />Chris Harder talks about Black Friday   Choose your language           Tuesday, Oct 11, 2011        Home &gt; Poker Rules &gt; Articles &gt; Chris Harder talks about Black Friday      by Tuesday ,16 Aug 2011        Chris Harder is fast becoming a living poker legend with over $4 million in winnings There are tens of thousands of people all around the world who take their seats at the felt and play poker in the hope of becoming one of “them”, one of the elite few who can read the cards and the people holding them to ensure success at 99% of the poker games they sit down to play. The truth is that the vast majority of people are going to be sorely disappointed. Some people can do it and everyone else is giving them their money. This is a fundamental truth that Christian Harder has never had to learn. Christian is most definitely one of “them” Harder was winning at poker from the moment he first sat down to play. He has demonstrated his prowess both online and at live games and can make money regardless of whether he is playing in a cash game or a tournament and his online earnings are estimated at over $2.5 million, while his live tournament pay outs stand at over $1.8 million. He is fortunate to be a master of both the online and the live game as many online professionals have seen their source of income dry up since the April 15th US government crackdown on online poker that has come to be known as Black Friday. He knows this himself saying that “I was in shock. I guess I kind of expected it to come in the future but for it to happen so quickly and so all of a sudden. Things literally unravelled in a matter of hours. It was quite a shock because there was no warning,” he said. This young poker pro first found himself playing the game while at Salisbury University near where he grew up in Maryland. From there he just went from strength to strength. After taking on his buddies and winning in smaller games he decided to try his luck online and found that he had a talent for the game. The Black Friday crackdown came as a shock to all in the industry and Harder didn’t see it coming “I definitely feel bad for kids like that who have no experience and probably have most of their money tied up. It doubly hurts. Luckily I enjoy live poker and I’ve played a lot of it. I’ve almost been playing all live poker in the last six months anyways…I definitely feel bad for kids like that who have no experience and probably have most of their money tied up. It doubly hurts.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Google Fascism <br /> I made a post a little whiles back at Poker Affiliate Listings about how much Google sucks. Aaron Walls just posted over at SEO Book about Google’s policies and how they are penalizing affiliates and categorizing them as spammers. I’m happy to be posting again on poker affiliate forums but it’s amazing to what lengths affiliates will go to to acquiesce to Google and other monopolies like Caesars. In fact, most people would be afraid to post something like this in fear Google will sandbox them. To tell you the truth, I don’t care anymore! Google is just part of the fascists that have ruined this great country of ours. If you have done 1000’s of hours researching corporations and government like I have, you would come to realization that Google and Facebook are part of the NSA. Facebook and Google are intelligence gathering tools for the NSA. Google circles is a mechanism that enables google users to collate their friends into “circles” because the AI cannot do it for itself yet. I have sold domains to government contractors who were buying for Facebook but I knew this way before that. So what now? Should I not use Google and switch to Bing? Apple, Microsoft, Google are all working together via cross-board directors. The only solution would be for webmasters to do some sort of “occupy” movement, or in this case a boycott of all the major engines and Facebook. I also made a post like this a while back on Poker Affiliate Programs. Few people listen to me if ever and the others, well I guess I’m preaching to the choir. I’m not putting down anyone that adapts to this tyranny, I’m just saying they make my life harder. It’s a survival instinct and people have to feed their families. I’m just saying that if we ALL worked together on some sort of poker affiliate search engine or something, we could put a small dent (pin hole maybe) in Google. Maybe it wouldn’t do anything on its’ own but maybe other niches would follow? Take a look at Aaron Wall’s post on SEO Book on Google screwing affiliates. He posts interesting points in the comments too: ..about that type of discrimination (outside of Google itself being an affiliate in many of the markets it polices) is that the whole theory on why they needed to do the Panda update &amp; make things “algorithmic” was because sites like eHow or Mahalo (and Mahalo was nothing more than a glorified scraper website) were in the gray area &amp; were (allegedly) not totally spam, so they couldn’t just discriminate against them. They had to do this big elaborate update that came with thousands of false positives &amp; tons of collateral damage so that things were “algorithmic.”Yet they train that same algorithm to discriminate against competing business models based on no factor outside of the actual business model.If you create a great site but it is monetized with affiliates you may be labeled as spam no matter what.If you create a crappy content farm it takes them years to address the issue &amp; even then when they do so it has to be a partial hit rather than the complete torch job affiliates could expect. Outsource your programming for less.   </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The WPT gets even better with more tournaments <br />  by Thursday ,8 Sep 2011        The WPT are to hold 5 additional tournaments in the 2011/12 season which are to be screened by Fox Sports The best poker tour in the world just got even better with the addition of five new tournaments to each season. The World Poker Tour (WPT) will now be stopping at two additional cities in the USA and another three in Europe. Jacksonville, Florida and Philadelphia in Pennsylvania are the two new tournaments being held in the US with Malta, Prague in the Czech Republic and Ireland playing host to the new tournaments on the massive poker tour. Season X of the WPT kicked off with the WPT Spain, held in Barcelona in May and has been moving from strength to strength ever since. The extra tournaments reflect just how popular the WPT has become all around the world. Since former US online poker professionals have been moving away from the USA in order to continue to practise their trade the extra stops will make it that much easier for the pros to make it to at least one or two of the tournaments over the course of the season. Since online poker was effectively taken away from US players interest in being able to watch the pro players at work has exploded with various television networks cashing in on the demand to watch high stakes poker. The WPT has been no exception to this with Fox Sports Net (FSN) showing the tournaments in their entirety and will be broadcast from the start of 2012. As well as the tournaments being screened there will also be two, one hour specials looking behind the scenes of the WPT and poker in general. This will compete with ESPN’s coverage of the final table of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) as well as the poker covered by other television networks. Along with the new tournaments the WPT have also announced the formation of a Champions club which will afford special perks to all players who have won a WPT event. These perks include a personal concierge as well as VIP treatment at all WPT events. On top of this there is also a WPT champions cup engraved with the name of every WPT champion as well as a crystal trophy for the WPT player of the year. The first of these crystal trophies is to be awarded to Andy Frankenberger the season IX player of the year.  </p>

The amendment would see the state gaming commission called upon to &#8220;establish a committee to analyze and develop recommendations and model legislation&#8221; as well as &#8220;include an analysis of applicable federal and state law,&#8221; in a report that would need to be ready by July 2012.The amendment is a very small, though potentially significant half page addition to a bill that is already 164 pages long. The majority of the bill details very carefully how the state will implement live casino gaming rather than facilitate gaming online. The amendment was probably kept short on purpose so as not to affect the way any of the state representatives are likely to vote. The bill was in fact passed by the House with a massive margin at 123-32 and now has to be ratified by the state senate. The bill is to be discussed by the senate at the end of September.For internet poker to be legalised in the Massachusetts area all that has to happen now is that the senators pass the bill in full without referring to Winslow’s half page addition. There is still a long way to go before online poker becomes state law. This is particularly because the bill goes through the ‘conference’ phase that ensures the bill passed by the senate is the same as that passed by the House. The governor will still have to agree to the plan as will the legislature ensuring that there is a lengthy process ahead for those who enjoy online poker in the Bay State with pundits expecting that not before 2013 will players be able to take to the virtual felt if at all.Many fans of the game will take it as a victory that the introduction of online poker is even up for debate. In the past 10 years there have been attempts to introduce legislation for online gaming into other bills that have fallen flat and even discussion of it was considered taboo. The truth of the matter is that regardless of what the state decides the real decision is going to depend on what happens in Washington DC as lawmakers are already debating whether or not to maintain the nationwide ban still in effect.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are still options available for US poker players <br />  by Sunday ,25 Sep 2011        In the wake of Black Friday US poker pros are still searching for a big game It’s a tough life for a poker player in the United States since the events of April 15th or Black Friday. An estimated 50,000 Americans made their living from playing poker online and overnight not only did they have their livelihoods taken away from them but also their savings. When the US Department of Justice swooped down on the biggest three poker sites in the world their accounts were frozen. In the case of Poker Stars it was just a temporary setback and their players all regained access to their accounts within a matter of days. With regards to Absolute Poker (CEREUS Network) and Full Tilt Poker players are still waiting for their money and it wouldn’t be unwise to assume that the money isn’t coming back any time soon.Poker players in the United States still have several options if they want to continue to ply their trade. They can leave their homes for a country that hasn’t outlawed online poker, Canada is a particularly popular choice. The problem is that the Canadians aren’t particularly excited about having poker players moving to their country and Canadian immigration authorities are now insisting that those moving across the border in order to play poker register their intention on their visa applications and have the intention of taxing them on their winnings. This leaves open the other option of moving to another country and simply living on a tourist visa making occasional trips away for the purposes of renewing their visa. The problem with this option is it means abandoning their homes. Not all players find success at the top level but most are grinders who make a living without becoming millionaires and they can’t just afford to pick up and leave everything behind.The live game in the US is experiencing something of a revival, probably owing to the collapse of the online game. There are casinos in many US states and they are expanding their card rooms to cope with the influx of poker pros looking for action. Although there isn’t as much money in the live cash games, the live tournaments, particularly the big ones such as the World Poker Tour offer hundreds of thousands of dollars in prize money, making them a very tempting target. The recent World Series of Poker is testament to the extent poker pros are willing to go to in search of finding a big poker pot to take.  </p>
