Everyone remembers stacks poker, right? They were a new poker room that created a lot of buzz with their 3d poker software and the generous promotions they promised to big players. Unfortunately they kept pushing their release dates back and were never able to make it past beta stage.

By dbirider, 18. Dec 06. 1 Comment

I almost forgot to mention my new poker training site. I started Donkit a few months ago, with Kjell. At first we we were going to only sell ebooks, but we quickly realized that was a retarded idea and moved to poker videos.

By dbirider, 13. Oct 06. No Comments

And i’m not scared or surprised. We all knew it was coming after the law passed in the senate. I’m sure PokerStars and FullTiltPoker saw this coming as well, and they have already announced that they’re sticking around. Neteller doesn’t show any signs of quitting on us either.

I’ve been holding back a lot for the past few weeks, just waiting for the dust to settle with the new gambling legislation. While it’s still far from over, I think it’s much easier to speculate on what’s going on the future of poker now.
The day after the bill passed, PartyPoker and 888 immediately announced […]

Chimp and a Chair

By dbirider, 21. Jul 06. No Comments

We all laugh at Wong’s stories of his happy ending auto shop, stolen tow truck, and poker playing / mechanic monkeys. But still, in the back of our head we wonder how much of it can be true?
I was thinking about this because PokerShare just bought a monkey into the $10,000 WSOP main event. His […]

By dbirider, 19. Jul 06. No Comments

Pokerstars just *leaked* their 2006 WCOOP schedule. Yes, they posted it on their blog and announced it as being leaked. My head hurts from thinking about that.
But anyway, they’ve got some very impressive tournaments lined up. Some notable events are:

I never thought it would happen, but party poker finally released a client for Macs. It’s still in beta, so there’s a bunch of bugs and real money play isn’t available yet, but they’re working to bring all the features to it.
The new version uses java, which allows you to launch Party Poker on […]

Mac Online Poker

I just set up a blogger poker tournament for July 23rd on PokeronaMac.com. At first I was going to throw in an iPod Nano to the winner, but I went a bit crazy and decided to give away three iPods. Maybe not a good thing for me, since i’m poor, but hopefully it […]
