One of the most difficult things for a poker player to learn is when to make their move in a large multi table tournament. As someone who has won several multi player tournaments on four different web sites and several amateur in person tourneys, I have my own opinions on this question, but they come with the caveat: there is no hard and fast rule about when to make your move in a tournament, and I’d say that even [...]
I’m extremely happy to see pokerstars seriously going after multi-accounters. Famed online poker player, Neverwin, had his pokerstars account banned for playing on multiple accounts and letting other players play on his. He had to withdraw his funds and they gave him 7 days to spend his FPP’s before his account is permanently closed.
Multi-accounting is a practice of playing on more then one username or using a single username for multiple players. The [...]
I think it’s a good time for everyone to show their support for a Mac version of Pokerstars. They’ve had a mac beta version in progress, but it’s been out for a year now and coming along slllooowwwwly. The problem, I believe, is that there just aren’t enough players emailing PokerStars and requesting a Mac version. They need some motivation!

You can’t judge your success as a poker player on one session, or even a weeks worth of play. There’s way to many variables that [...]
Gamblers Anonymous members rejoice! Full Tilt poker has introduced a new self exclusion feature that allowes you to voluntarily ban yourself from playing poker, with ease. Just select the time frame, hit submit, and you won’t be able to play poker any more during the time period.
This can be great if you you’re going out partying and know you can’t trust yourself when you get back. Or maybe if you’re trying to get work done and you can’t stop [...]
One thing about the explosion of online poker is that it has made aggressiveness, even aggressiveness to the point of stupidity, a much more common occurrence at the poker table and especially at online poker games. There are several reasons for this tendency, and knowing the reasons why so many players are overly aggressive can help you know when to back off, and when to use this to your advantage. Knowledge of the game being played is always [...]
After years of denying requests to make heads-up cash games for their players, PokerStars finally gave in and implemented 1-on-1 heads-up tables.
The addition of these tables can be attributed to the TwoPlusTwo heads-up poker forum. On August 2nd at 4am a member suggested that they all email PokerStars support to request heads-up tables. No more then 12 hours later, the heads-up cash game tables were available all throughout PokerStars.
The best part about the [...]
