Evander Holyfield, 47, from the United States is a multiple world champion in boxing. Evander Holyfield is especially known for the classics fights against Mike Tyson and George Forman where he won quite easy. Now the ex-champ is taking on a new challenge in life - to work as spokesman and be a joint owner for a poker site.

The poker site Evander Holyfield has signed a contract with are quite unique as they are having real dealers instead of computers shuffling and dealing the cards. Whether or not Holyfield is good at poker, I have no clue about. However, if he plays poker live, I'm sure he get a lot of respect at the poker table. I mean, he's not the kind of guy you want to upset! :)

Very good news for poker players in Florida. On June 1, 2010, a new state law went into effect. The new law allows card rooms across the state to extend the opening hours and raise the buy-ins for no-limit poker games, as well. High stakes games will now be legal at 23 poker rooms run by horse and dog tracks and jai alai frontons. The new law also will let the Seminole Tribe to lift limits at its seven casinos, including the Hard Rock Casino in Tampa. Poker tournaments were held to a $1,000 maximum buy-in before, but now that limit has been removed plus that cardrooms at parimutuel facilities can now be open for 18 hours Sunday-Thursday, and 24 hours on Friday and Saturday.

Many poker analysts believe that the new law will open the door for televised tournaments played by pros to take place in the state of Florida.

Phil Hellmuth hasn't been doing all that well at the poker tables in the past few years, and he has been criticized by some of the best poker players in the world because he refuses to understand that poker has changed and that he can't play the same style as he used to "back in the days" when he was successful. It's clear that Phil Hellmuth doesn't care much about what others think about him and his game, however, he loves to criticize others - especially after bad beats.

There are lots of video clips on youtube and similar sites where one can see Phil Hellmuth cry out loud, complaining after a bad beat. Even though Phil believes, like other successful poker players, that luck is just part of the game and that a good player will win in the long run, he still thinks that he's losing lately because of bad beats. Well, I have to agree with him after watching this hand, at the same time as I think it was a bad move from him to deal the hand 4 times.

Gianluigi Buffon, 32, won the World Cup back in 2006 with his Italy. And right now he and the rest of the Italian team are preparing for 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Gianluigi is according to many one of the world's best and most successful goalkeepers ever. Even though Gianluigi probably is super busy with his football career, he still seems to have some spare time for other interests as well as he just signed with PokerStars and now will represent them (together with the rest of the team - Mats Sundin, Boris Becker, Orel Hershiser etc) in major poker tournaments around the globe. 

"I want to accomplish a lot in life. And even though this contract means that I will have a very busy schedule, I still want to do it because I love to play poker. And to get the chance to play for the world's biggest poker site is both an honor and a challenge. I'm looking forward to play against the rest of Team PokerStars." says Gianluigi in an interview.

 

Dr. Death or Jack Kevorkian as his real name is, has helped at least 130 people to end their lives. He spent the years 1999 - 2007 behind bars because of this, but is today a free man. Recently a movie about him (Al Pacino plays Dr. Death in it) had premier, You Don't know Jack. A lot of celebs showed up at the premier of the movie and of course Jack Kevorkian and Al Pacino were there as well.

It seemed like Dr. Death and Al Pacino got a long very well as they talked a lot to each other at the premier. I almost have a feeling that they became good friends. I'm saying this because Al Pacino accepted Dr. Deaths invitation to his home in Detroit for a game of poker. I imagine (if they play) that the atmosphere would be like in an old gangster movie when they are playing poker. :) 

 

A few days ago, Mike McDonald wrote in his blog that he will take a longer break from poker. The main reason for this seems to be that he has no motivation regarding the game, he has accomplished everything he wanted to, he would rather remain unknown, he wants to learn new things and "live a life that is more in touch with everyone else" and he wants to start his own company together with a friend. It's a very, very long blog post and many, many reasons why he has decided to take a break from poker. However, one can understand after reading the entire post that its not the last time we have seen him at the poker tables.

During last weekend the German police arrested the 2 last remaining suspects for the EPT Berlin robbery, Mustafa Ucarkus and Jihad Chetwie. 20-year-old Mustafa Ucarkus was arrested at Tegel airport after his lawyer gave authorities a tip on where he was.

Jihad Chetwie, the final suspect in the March 7th heist at EPT Berlin, turned himself in at Tegel airport after flying in from Beirut, Lebanon. It seems like he was afraid of getting caught in Lebanon and therefore decided to return to Germany and most probably German prison.

There are very few details regarding the money from the robbery. But its probably just a matter of weeks before we get to know the full story behind the EPT Berlin robbery.

 

It came to be the Hungarian Andras Koroknai who took home the WPT LA Poker classic. Andras Koroknai dominated the final table, and when it was time for heads-up, he had a lead with 13,450,000 against his final opponent Raymond Dolan's 1,450,000 stack. With blinds of 75,000 - 150,000 (25,000 ante) it was just a matter of time before Raymond was forced to move all in and try to double up before his stack would be gone. And as expected, it all came to an end straight away

Andras Koroknai moved all in from the button, and Raymond Dolan called with Q[c] 4[h]. Koroknai flipped over Q[h] 8[h].

FLOP: 10[h] 9[h] 4 [d]

A new gambling law which upsets the whole Norwegian poker community has just been passed into law by the government of Norway. The new law will make it illegal for banks in Norway to process transactions to casinos and poker/casino/betting sites outside Norway.

How they will stop people from using Neteller, MoneyBookers and other e-wallets - we will just have to wait and see. The new law will come into effect on 1 June 2010 - the same day as the US Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) will come into effect. 

Are you afraid that similar laws will be introduced in your country?

Hi All,

Due to the fact, that the EuroPoker bonus is instant, and due to the fact that someone posted the bonuslink on a Romanian bonus-hunter site, we have been getting a lot of fraudelent signups on EuroPoker.

Because of this, EuroPoker has been forced to shut down the offer temporarely until we fin a solution, so that only BankrollMob users can avail this bonus.

We will re-open the offer once we have agreed on the terms with EuroPoker. Most likely we will issue the bonuses manually.

We will keep you posted!

There are plenty of options when it comes to depositing money into a poker account these days. Credit card, Neteller, Moneybookers, bank transfer etc. The list could be made really long. However, the easiest and fastest way of depositing money is usually with a credit card. We'll, not if you live in the U.S.

MasterCard has figured out the method of uncoding gambling transactions for U.S. customers. This will most probably cause a lot of problems for U.S. poker players and poker sites accepting U.S players since Neteller and many other depositing methods already have been blocked. This is not the first time MasterCard has found out the uncoding process. First time, however, it only took online gaming sites about 2 months to find a way to get around the problem. It will be interesting to see what they do this time.

 

It wasn't a long time ago since Jonas "Nebuchad Danielsson, one of Sweden's best online poker players, wrote in his blog that he had decided to quit poker and do something else instead. The reason for this was that he had lost his interest in playing poker and also his edge the few times he played.

Now, another famous Swedish poker player has decided to quit poker. Robert V Lux is a very well known poker player in Sweden. Lux has won the Nordic championship, played in most of the major poker tournaments around the globe, and also had a huge success online at the medium stakes under the alias "Dödarn".

"I won't miss poker because I have lost the interest, totally. However, I will miss the money and the lifestyle." said Robert V Lux.

 

Casino di Venezia in Malta was yesterday robbed by 5 armed men who demanded cash from the casino workers. The 5 robbers got away with around €100,000 (probably much more) and then escaped on a speedboat. After that the police heard about the robbery, they rushed to casino with cars, boats and helicopters looking for the robbers speedboat. However, the only thing they have found so far is a car in the sea, which they believe was used by the 5 robbers.

The Swedish Championship of poker is supposed to be played at Casino di Venezia in April this year. Let's hope that this wont effect the tournament and that they will find the 5 robbers as soon as possible.

 

If you ask Doyle Brunson how it was to play poker "back in the days", you will get to hear stories about people getting robbed and even killed over a game of poker. These days, however, it's quite safe to play poker in a casino or at a proper poker club. Of course, things still happens once in a while, but it's still much safer than how it used to be. Or is it?!?!

Not long ago, NBA players Gilbert Arenas & Javaris Crittenton played poker for high stakes on an airplane heading towards their next game. The game soon degenerated as Javaris Crittenton owed Gilbert Arenas more than $25,000 and refused to pay. Gilbert Arenas took up a gun and pointed it at Javaris. Javaris had no plans on paying Arenas, or at least not to show him that he was afraid. Therefore he took up his own gun and pointed it at his Javaris. However, the action stopped after this.

Today, both of them are friends again and none of them are afraid of losing their contracts with Washington Wizards even though they got suspended for a few games because of the small "incident".

 

Owen Williams, Meirion Hopkins, Ieuan Griffiths and Mike Harwood are four card-playing friends from South Wales who meet up once in a while to play their favorite card game Crush. Since all of them have been playing for many, many years - they fought they had seen it all. But, when they met up a few weeks ago, they were about to experience something extremely unusual in the very first deal of the night.

After that all 52 cards had been dealt out, everyone started to sort their cards. Owen Williams was ready first, as he looked closer at his hand, he soon realized that he had a "straight" - A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K. This was of course something very unusual and he couldn't wait for the game to begin so that he could take home the pot and show his amazing hand to his friends.

Gus Hansen had a really thought time last year. In total he lost about $5.5 million dollars. 2010, however, has started in the best possible way for the Dane. Even though there are almost another 2 weeks to go of January, he has already won about $800,000! Thanks to this great achievement, he's now the player who has won the most this year. If Gus continue playing this good, it's very possible that he gets back on track and makes up for money he lost last year.

Tom Dwan keeps on losing
Not all high stakes players have had as good start of the new year as Gus Hansen. Tom "durrrr" Dwan is one of them. Dwan has lost $365,000 so far and it seems like he needs to take a break and look over his own game before he can become a winning player again.

Day 1b of Aussie Millions has now come to an end. 60 out of 357 players from Day 1 a & b have now made it to Day 2 of the tournament. Tomorrow its time for Day 1c of the tournament. Day 1c will probably have the highest amount of entries, and will probably also include the most interesting starting field so far. For example: Swewart Scott, Lee Nelsson and Tony Bloom (ex-Aussie Millions Main event champions) will play Day 1c of the tournament.

Top 5 players of the 60 players who already are through to Day 2 - Jim Mastorakos (174,700), Dean McIver (155,800), Kerry Stead (131,700), Thrung Tran (130,100) and Sarvesh Pershad (129,00)

 

Day 1a of Aussie Millions in Melbourne, Australia is being played at the moment. 327 players started today - 120 have survived so far. In the lead is Chris Chronis with 155,000 chips, closely followed by Xen Xenofontos (125,000). Chris has had a great run so far in the tournament and its a well deserved lead.

Tony Hachem (Joe Hachem's brother) & Richard Ashby (Full Tilt pro with great live tournament results since 2001) are 2 of the most notable players that still are in the tournament. Let's hope that both of them make it to Day 2 of the tournament, because it's always more interesting to follow a tournament when one recognizes some of the players.

 

Gus Hansen had a very hard time at the poker tables last year as he lost more than $5,5 million dollars, and probably another few millions in sportsbetting. Even though Gus probably can afford to lose this much and still play high stakes, he deiced to take a break and look over his own game. It seems like this break really has paid off, because 2010 has started in the best possible way for "The Great Dane."

Between 1 and 3 January, Gus Hansen has won over $200,000 in less than 600 hands. It seems like he has changed something in his game and is really hungry for revenge. However, it will for sure take a couple of months before we get to know whether or not Gus Hansen is going to be a big winner this year.

 

"Are you buried in bills? About to lose your home? On the brink of financial ruin? If so, this could be your big break. "Robin Hood 702", a self-made man and expert Blackjack player wants to use his skills to help you"

The text above is taken from a website that belongs to a professional blackjack player with the alias "Robin Hood 702" who wants to give a helping hand to 2 families with financial problems. "Robin Hood 702" will give 2 lucky families a luxury weekend in Las Vegas and at the same time give half of his winnings to them so that they can solve their financial problems. Does it sound too good to be true?! Well, you are probably not the first person to think that thought. However, this website is not a scam, but the real deal as "Robin Hood 702" helped a family last year to pay off their loan of $35,000. After this the website got a lot of attention and also started cooperating with Fox News. Fox News are now helping "Robin Hood 702" with the promotion of his website and they will also document the event with the 2 families. 

 

Not long ago, PokerStars announced that they will try to break the old record of the biggest online poker tournament. The old record was already held by themselves as they had 65,000 players in the same tournament last summer. Yesterday, it was time for a new world record attempt. To make sure that this tournament would be interesting to take part in, PokerStars guaranteed a prize pool of $300,000 where the top 30,000 players would get a piece of the cake.

So how did it go?
Thanks to the low buy-in and the big guarantee this tournament offered not less than 149,196 players took part and a new world record was a fact as the old record had been beaten with almost 85,000 players. The winner of the tournament, Oskar69, received $50,000 in first place prize.

It will be interesting to see how long it takes before another world record attempt takes place and if Full Tilt or some other site will try to break PokerStars record.

 

Lately a lot of rumors have been circulating on the web that PokerStars is about to sign a huge a sports star to its Team PokerStars. One of the hottest candidate's so far is the old heavy weight champion Mike Tyson. Whether or not Mike Tyson is a good poker player, we will have to wait and see (if he's the one that PokerStars will sign).

The rumors about Mike Tyson to become the new Team PokerStars member started when Johnny Lodden wrote in his blog that a huge sports star is about to join his team. However, Johnny Lodden couldn't give any further information about the new member until it was official news.

 

Newcastle United is the most successful football team so far this year in the England Championship (The divison under Premier Leauge). Newcastle's great success this season is of course thanks to hard training, its football players, coach and lots of other things. However, poker has also played a very important roll according to Kevin Nolan from Newcastle United.

Kevin says that its thanks to poker that the team can relax and have fun together after and before the games. Kevin thinks that this has brought the team much closer together and that the team spirit and winner instinct has improved a lot since they started playing poker.

Just a year ago, Mats Sundin joined PokerStars as its international celebrity ambassador. In the beginning he didn't have much time to play in many of the major tournaments because he was busy being the captain for the NHL team, Toronto Maple Leafs. One year later he decided to retire from hockey and instead focus more on his job as ambassador for PokerStars.

One of the first major tournaments Mats played for PokerStars was in 2009 WSOP Main Event. He was doing very well in the beginning of the tournament and everyone were really impressed that he wasn't only a good hockey player, but also a decent poker player. However, when the first break started, he made a mistake that could have sent him packing.

The Norwegian Poker PRO Annette Obrestad is at the moment in Las Vegas recording new episodes of Poker After Dark together with other PRO's. It's not an easy start Annette will have in her first appearance of Poker After Dark. On her twitter one can read that she has to face Mike "The Mouth" Matusow, Phil Laak, Erick Lindgren, Antonio Esfandiari, and Phil Hellmuth. One can't help wondering how she will manage against all these guys who have many, many more years of experience of playing televised poker with commentators. 

About Poker After Dark

Jennifer Tilly, 51, is known mostly for her talent as an American-Canadian actress, but also for being a great poker player and the girl friend of Phil "The Unabomber" Laak. She has won over half a million dollars from different live tournaments, and also won a WSOP Bracelet a few years back. Jennifer has always been happy to share things in her life with others on the internet. But lately she stopped after she found out that some people were writing really bad things about her.

"It used to be really fun and interesting to speak to other poker players on the internet. Lately, however, I have read a lot of bad things about myself that made me feel really sad";Jennifer says.

Jennifer Tilly is only one of many celebs with similar problems. For example: Gus Hansen had problems not long ago with people claiming to be him by creating fake facebook-accounts and websites in his name.

 

Daniel Negreanu, the Canadian PokerStars PRO, have 3 big passions in life - Poker, golf and statistics. A few days ago one could read in his blog that he had made statistics over how much the most successful World Poker Tour players have made from the tournament. 

In the spreadsheet with the statistics, Daniel only included poker players who played a minimum of 30 WPT events so the information wouldn't be to misleading. 176 players qualified for his investigation. Here are the results.

An 18 year old and a 19 year old decided to rob a poker player after that they seen him winning lots of money from playing poker at Daytona Beach Kennel Club Casino. They waited until the poker player had left the casino, then they followed his car all the way to his house a few miles away. They went in to the poker player's house and threatened him with a knife so he would give them the money he had won. Unfortunately for them, and luckily for the poker player was that he only had $10 on him because he had forgotten his wallet in the car. The 2 robbers that thought they would make some good money, only got away with $10.

The search for the 2 robbers
The police were for a long time looking for the 2 robbers without any results. But in September the police finally got some information from an anonymous person that helped them arresting the 2 robbers. Both of them are now facing huge fines and also some time in prison. This is a great example of that crime doesn't pay off in the long run.

When Full Tilt poker announced their new televised poker show "Face the Ace", PokerStars followed and created their very own show called "PokerStars Million Dollar Challenge". In PokerStars Million Dollar Challenge anyone playing at PokerStars has the chance to win a seat online and then play against PokerStars biggest pros heads-up for lots of money.

First out in PokerStars Million Dollar Challenge was father Andrew Trapp. Andrew received $25,000 after that he won against both the NBA player John Salley and the PokerStars pro Vanessa Rousso. After those 2 victories he risked all the money he had won to play against Daniel Negreanu for the first prize of $100,000. And believe it or not! The priest had the poker gods with him as he managed to win over Negreanu as well.

 

During the night between Sunday and Monday, three men broke into a house in North Carolina (USA) where a poker game with around 30 people was held. The three robbers were all armed, 2 of them had handguns and one had a rifle. The man with the rifle used his rifle butt to knock down 2 of the poker players before firing a shot into the wall and demanding the other poker players to lay down on the floor.

The robbers then escaped with an unknown amount of money from the house, and still the police haven't been able to catch anyone of them. However, the police are going to continue the search for the three men until they get some results according to Winston-Salem Journal in North Carolina.

 

Gus "The Great Dane" Hansen has won millions of dollars during his poker career. He has won all these money from playing the biggest tournaments and at the highest cash game tables (both online and live) there are, against the best poker players in the world. Gus Hansen's poker career has been great with other words. But as we all know, playing at the highest stakes is not always a bunch of roses.

Gus Hansen has really got to experience it this year as his bankroll has decreased with around 2.9 million US dollars. But even though he has lost so much money this year, the most people following his poker career are certain that he will start winning soon again. It's just a matter of time according to them. It's hard to disagree with them as this is not the first time he has lost big amounts of money.

 

The poker boom is still to occur in China. Many betting companies have tried to get into the Chinese gambling market, and also tried to get a poker boom going like it did in the rest of the world a few years ago. But so far not with such a great success. So what is preventing poker to grow in China? First off, China is not officially open to online poker sites, and the current laws are unclear as to the punishments or reprimand that face players and providers of online gaming. Another reason is the deposit options.

Many Chinese banks and credit card companies will not allow direct deposits to online gaming companies, and the ones that allow them to deposit usually charges big fees. To this date, Neteller, and other popular online payment services do not accept transfers from Chinese citizens. There you have the 2 of the main reasons why the poker boom in China still hasn't occured. So, what can start the poker boom in China when so many things are preventing people there from playing? A poker movie is maybe the answer?!

The last few days there have been many rumors circulating in forums and newspapers that PokerStars ambassador Mats Sundin will stop playing ice hockey after thirteen seasons in Toronto Maple Leafs and a short comeback in Vancouver Canucks. According to Mats himself, he says that the rumors are not true and that he still haven't decided what to do yet.

However, Mats says that he will take the final decision very soon. Many people have been asking themselves what would happen with his poker career and his ambassador job for PokerStars if he stops playing ice hockey.

According to Johan Bondesson at PokerStars there are two options. -"If Mats decides to stop playing hockey, then he will play more tournaments, and if he decides to continue playing, then we will just continue like now." 

Do you think it's time for Mats Sundin to stop playing ice hockey and instead concentrate more on his poker career? 

APT (Asian Poker Tour) started yesterday at the Chinese gaming island Macau. The tournament will be played from 12th till 22nd August and it will include 15 events. The main event Day 1a will be played on 20th August, and Day 1b on 21st August. Because they have divided up Day 1 into two starting days one can assume that the crew behind the tournament expects many people to take part.

The most interesting event in APT will for sure be the celebrity tournament where all the money will go to charity. Lady Gaga, the artist with the mega hit "Poker Face" has been invited for this tournament. She has a gig in Macau on the 15th August and the crew behind APT really hopes she will show up, and maybe also show her "Poker Face"?

Another big name that has been invited to play in the celeb tournament is, Michael Phelps, the professional swimmer from USA who's considered to be the greatest swimmer of all time.

 

On the 1st of July, 2009, a new law which forced casinos and slot machine halls to close down went into effect. The idea to this new law was brought to life during the time when Vladimir Putin was the president of Russia. Many casinos/slot machine halls already back then started to transform their premises into poker rooms, because poker was classed as a sport, and therefore it was legal to organize cash games and tournaments. But now, live poker is also banned in Russia and over 400,000 people that used to work at casinos, slot halls, and poker rooms, are now without jobs.

Earlier today we relaunched the rakeback part of bankrollmob: rakeback.bankrollmob.com with a new "matching design". In addition to celebrate the relaunch we have added an amazing new 11 pokerrooms that we now offer BRM-users rakeback with.

You can see all our offers by going to the rakebacksite: BANKROLLMOB RAKEBACK

For those of you who might not know what rakeback is, here is a short explanation:

Basically when you play a tournament or a cashgame, you pay a small fee (rake) to the pokerroom with whom you are playing. Pokerrooms then pays BankrollMob a percentage of this rake (for referring a player). BankrollMob then pay a very large part of this comission back to the players every month (rakeback).

So if you are considering to play at a new site a lot, this might be a profitable solution for you. However please notice that in order to get rakeback, you can only have ONE account at the room in question, and this account should be tracked through the bankrollmob rakeback site. Players that already have an account, or that are getting one of our numerous no-deposit bonuses, will not be able to get rakeback on this account afterwards.

Questions/Comments to our new rakebacksite design will be very welcome :)
