So tonight with wsop going has inspired me to do my own poker night and I am flying as i had nine lads round all putting in £100 each and we bought back in so the total pot was £1180 so i was buzzing if i came 2nd or 3rd because there was meant to be prizes all round but when it heated up we decided winner takes all and for he first time when we have made the winner takes all, I actually won and I’m loving it as we have just finishe 3 bottles of wine and 4 crates of beer. Bring on town and I wish we were at Vegas as i would clean up tonight.
Come on join the party and watch the wsop live its free and the tension is really building, I have been glued to this for 2 days solid now and I cant get enough and because of it I’m tempted to have my own poker tourney tonight or even set up my own poker site.
The tension is to much.

I cant wait for the Hoosier Park casino to open up next week because they new development should see at least 3 million people work through the door in the first 12 months. Now that amount sound massive but there are bills to pay like the 250 million licence fee and all the cuts in profits.
Hoosier casino will be the next RACINO putting together racing and gambling together. Even though there has been scepticism of the casinos its very obvious that the it will help with all the financial problem that attached with the state.
Following a few happy results with test openings the racino is good to go and show that its got to everyone next week. This will be a massive day for the casino and the local people as its a new day in a new job. There are murmurings that if the racino is really successful it will be expanded which can only be a bonus for the locals and jobs perspective.
Bob and Bill do it again!!!
A 21st birthday has always been a major part of any young mans life.
But consider this every single man in the world reaching the age of 21 opens a new door the chance to win the cover-ted bracelet of the WSOP. Every year we see new fresh faces trying there luck.
Granted most of these young lads have tried there skills in Canada Europe or Asia as you can gamble at 18 there but non of them will have experienced the WSOP bracelet rush. The only way they may have done something similar is online.
There have been 3 but only 3 players at 21 to win the bracelet. In 2005 Eric Froehlich Jeff Madsen, Steve Billirakis only 11 days after turning 21.
So as the best tourney in the world begins lets keep an eye on the rookies and wish them all the luck in the world. I’m guessing will be saying some new names at the end of this year and they will be making a good impression all over the place.

A new and original style of Texas holdem which will be called royal holdem was sanctioned for casino play by the (NGC) Nevada gaming last week.
The new version should give poker players a faster game and a classic style of play due to only the face cards and 10’s being used.
Royal Holdem will only consist of six players and will be limited but other than that it will be the same as general Texas hold em.
The plan is the high cards will make people gamble more and encourage less folding.
Poker pro Scott Fischman said that the new game is completely different strategy with every card changes the play and you can get beat on a royal flush on river so easily. ITS A HOT GAME
New poker the Vegas firm was originally marketed in Vegas but they are glad it has been sanctioned in the NGC too. They have also invented no river hold-em where poker players only get two cards but I’m yet to see it.
Here is the breakdown of all the past champions and there total winnings, keep and eye out for the guys and let me know who your bet is for the bracelet.
