Editorial: Has The Epic Poker Tour Been A Success?
The opinions in this editorial do not reflect the positions of the ownership or management of Poker News Daily. There have been attempts before in the world of tournament poker to create what would be essentially a “professional” poker circuit that would draw the greatest players in the game to [...]

Is U.S. Online Poker Dead?
A lot has been written over the last two weeks about anything and everything having to do with online poker’s Black Friday. Most of the talk, other than screaming to the heavens about the U.S. Government, has been about what players in the United States are going to do. Basically, is online po [...]

Critiquing the National Heads-Up Poker Championship Field
It is hard to believe that this weekend marks the seventh running of NBC’s National Heads-Up Poker Championship (NHUPC). To me, it still seems like a nascent event, but one piece of evidence of its maturity is that instead of talking about how cool and great the NHUPC is, poker players and fan [...]

The Case for Hand Analysis Software
I caught a clip of the 2004 World Series of Poker Main Event the other day and saw eventual champion Greg Raymer jotting down notes about the hands he played. I remember thinking to myself when the show was originally aired that note taking was a great idea. Fast-forward to 2011 and note taking is [ [...]

Lead the Way, New Jersey
2010 ended with a thud for online poker players in the United States. There was a great deal of anticipation over Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s attempt to push an online poker bill through before Congress adjourned for the year, but to the dismay of many, nothing ever came of it. To othe [...]

Twas the Night Before Christmas: Poker Style
Tomorrow morning, good little boys and girls all over the world will wake up, run downstairs, and marvel at the bounty that Santa Claus has left them under the Christmas tree. But, for online poker players in the United States, this will not be the best Christmas of all-time. Despite making it t [...]

Harry Reid Online Poker Bill: An Ugly Necessity
“No man can have society upon his own terms.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson This week, the most commonly used phrase in online poker discussions is not “pot odds,” “fold equity,” or “continuation bet,” but rather something not poker-related at all: “lame duck. [...]

Angle Shooting: Why All the Fuss?
One reason I like poker is its uniqueness compared to other sports and games. Its perfect mix of skill and luck combined with the unending variety of people you encounter at the tables make it a lot of fun. One unique aspect of the game that I am not as fond of, however, is angle [...] [...]

What Makes a Poker Hall of Famer?
In November, Erik Seidel and Dan Harrington were enshrined in the Poker Hall of Fame. In the weeks leading up to the announcement of their selection, opinion after opinion was given as to why certain players should be honored and certain others should not. What was interesting to me about all of the [...]

Was Jonathan Duhamel Lucky?
The 2010 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event has finally ended and now comes the hangover, when every armchair poker player says why the World Champ is terrible. This year, that talk revolves around one huge hand, the one on Day 8 back in July when the eventual winner, Jonathan Duhamel, sucked o [...]

Poker Games I Miss
In a recent column, I wrote about PartyPoker‘s new game, Double Hold’em. Who knows if it will have staying power, but it was really cool to see an online poker site put something new out there. Full Tilt did so with Rush Poker, and it is definitely fun, but even that variation uses t [...]

Size Matters – how to choose your online table
Venturing into online poker for the first time can be intimidating. Even though you don’t need to leave the house, take a shower, brush your teeth, or wear a complete ensemble, it can still be a blur of numbers, colors, and sound. Not unlike a real casino, I suppose. But after the initial step [...]

Flush Fear
On Tuesdays and Thursdays I don’t make my kids go to pre-school. I have the luxury of working at home, so I figure while they’re still young enough, I might as well get to enjoy their company a couple days a week. The problem is, in between wiping up my one-year old’s messes (wheth [...]

Poker Boom II and Poker News
In July, I discussed my thoughts on what Poker Boom II might look like should online poker become fully legalized and regulated in the United States. What I have begun thinking about since then, though, is that should Americans become free to play poker, the poker news industry may very well change. [...]

Needless Fail League
Don’t bite the hand that feeds you. This old saying darted through my mind every time I read about the National Football League (NFL) lobbying against Representative Barney Frank’s internet gambling bill, HR 2267. Fortunately, the league ended its opposition to the bill in August because [...]

Can a Wrong be a Right?
In the 2002 film Catch Me If You Can, Frank Abagnale, Jr.(played by Leonardo DiCaprio) is a con man and counterfeiter on the run from the FBI. He is charismatic, and while entertainment value could be found in many of his exploits, he is a criminal, plain and simple. Even though he should have b [...]

What Might Poker Boom II Look Like?
With Barney Frank’s Internet Gambling Regulation, Consumer Protection, and Enforcement Act finally passing in the House Financial Services Committee this week, dreams of fully legal and regulated online poker have been revived in the poker community. Sure, there are some people who would prefe [...]

Beyond the Slang
I’m not sure how the topic popped into my head – it may have just been one of those random thoughts. But for whatever reason, I started thinking about poker lingo today and it just sort of struck me that there are a few words or phrases that I really like. Some of my favorites [...] [...]

Poker or School?
A Poker News Daily reader e-mailed me a few weeks ago asking for advice. The young man was a college student and, while he did just fine in school, he did really well at poker. I won’t get into the details of how much time he spent playing and how much money he made, but [...] [...]

Happy Trails, Champ
Recently, LeBron James told the sports world what his plans were for the future of his basketball career. When he announced he was going to Miami, many fans were disappointed that he was no longer going to be representing Cleveland, the city to which he grew so near. In a less publicized announcemen [...]

Don’t Be Such a Drag
When I read about Shaun Deeb, David Sesso, and other men playing in the Ladies Event at the 2010 World Series of Poker (WSOP), I just shook my head. It was the same sort of slow, disappointed head shake that I would use while watching my daughter poke and prod my dog’s face for the [...] [...]

On My Last Nerve
I was in an unusually cantankerous mood the other day while playing poker and it seemed like every stupid thing someone did or said at the tables just tested the boundaries of my patience. They were hitting on all of my poker pet peeves. Genius, I would call it, if these opponents knew me. I’m [...]

Try Something Different: Poker Kill Games
I want to talk about a poker variety I would like to see more of: the kill game, a Hold'em or Omaha variation that allows for occasional higher stakes hands should the stars align. [...]

Loyalty Done Right
One of the biggest challenges an online poker room faces is how to retain customers. It is easy enough to attract customers – offering a sweet deposit bonus or nice rakeback deal can work – but other sites can just as easily steal those customers away. [...]
