I’m a poker fan — and a poker amateur. This is my playground. This is where I talk poker.
Been spending a lot of time playing small limit cash games on Cake Poker recently. Must say it is going pretty well so far but what really got me excited is when I got my rakeback report at the end of the month. It was like icing on the cake, after being up a decent amount of money over the month I also received a couple hundred through my rakeback program. So this post is for everyone who isn’t a registered rakeback account holder. There are tons of different offers out there which are available for most of the biggest poker rooms.
Every rakeback affiliate has different promotions and bonuses that they provide you with when you sign up so make sure to go through the main ones instead of just jumping onto the first thing you see. Rakebrain.com caught my attention by always offering all kinds of different free rolls for their members and having rake races with the winner being awarded a decent cash prize. So be smart and get rake.

Rofl. I always dread these aces versus aces situations because you just KNOW someone goes on to make a Flush, right?

Maya Geller is a poker babe and I hate Patrik Antonius for being the one being able to do her EVERY SINGLE TIME HE WANTS TO.

Does anyone have a phone number for me? I have a couple hundred dollars less than Patrik but hey, her love don’t cost a thing, I’m sure!

Phil Laak talks us through a hand he played against Mike “The Mouth” Matusow on GSN’s Poker After Dark. Mike had a good feel for the hand and he almost pulled the trigger but decided to wait for a better spot. In the mean time Phil Laak shows us the strength of position.

Lingerie labels all over the world are picking up on the poker hype when it’s on the way back in my opinion but still I like the idea Miss Lala Lingerie had when they made their FW0809 collection…

If you’re looking to actually become a poker pro there are a few things you should consider before making the leap. PPPpoker just made an excellent post about the Skills you need to Become a Poker Pro and I seriously advice everyone to read up on it as it has some great value for semi-pro players and recreational players too…
From the post:
This boom in popularity, combined with a seemingly endless flow of “dead money,” resulted in a huge number of players trying their hand at playing poker professionally. Yet many were to be unsuccessful, as either their luck expired or as they ran into games that were too tough for them. Even competent players may be doomed to failure, as the life of a professional poker player takes more than just skills at the table.
