Needing help to make my games grow.

Adam — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 09:35:00 GMT

I have ran tournaments and cash games out of a local bar for about 4 years and my games have seemed to stop growing. I hope you guys can give me some ideas to get my games to growing again. Here are some details of things I already have going. My poker games are held in two different rooms. Cash games are played in a private poker room that hold about 60 people. The tournaments are held in a room with a capacity of 170. I have 3 really good dealers with a very good back up in case one calls in. I have bought uniforms to make them look more professional. I have 24 copag decks of cards. Four new nine foot poker tables with six by 4 inch rails. 11.5gram poker chips, New large dealer buttons so the whole table can see it. I use a very strict system of casino rules. I use the poker manger system from this website to keep the game flowing. I use it on my laptop and its hooked up to a 47 inch tv so the whole room can see it. We do all sorts of promotions for our games like: free addons if you bring a new player, Big hand of the night jackpot, A mini and major bad beat jackpot, Chip bonuses for money spent in the bar. I even do a rebate for getting your aces cracked. I also run a 3month poker league. I'm really interested in ideas for this area. I hope you guys can give me some help because i have racked my brain for new ideas. Anything will help. Buy in ideas, Game types, hardware, rule changes, tips on freerolls, tips for bounty tournaments. I want to know the things you have most enjoyed from games you have ran and/or played in. Thanks.

Don’t Hate Alabama Because the BCS Flawed!

bluegaragepoker — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 23:18:00 GMT

There’s a lot of piss and vinegar on the web these days because the College Football National Championship game is a rematch between Alabama and LSU, This, ofcourse is mostly sour grapes from fans of the Big 12. Don’t hate Alabama because the BCS flawed! I am an Alabama fan, and I hate the BCS. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad my team is in the big game, but if it were up to me the BCS would be gone! The first step in getting to a playoff of some kind would be to make it a requirement that in order to qualify for the championship game a team must win there conference. I would support such a rule. Don’t hate Alabama for being in the big game, the BCS made this mess, not Alabama! In 2008 the SEC commissioner put forth a one plus plan that was rejected by big 12 coaches among others! If I were an OKS fan I to would be pissed! Alabama fans are stuck with the BCS the same as everyone. It isn’t fair. As far as the SEC bias I hear about from OKS fans I say BULL! In 2004 Auburn, an SEC team went undefeated and was left out! ROLL TIDE!

Watching Poker on TV (ESPN)

Black_Beard — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 05:24:00 GMT

As I sit an watch poker games on mainstream television I can't help but to think how ridiculous it is that online poker is against the law but it is also the highest rated program on television. Don't spend money you don't have to stop something that you can never actually control. Its like trying to hold sand in your hand you will never keep it all in. Legalize the activity and find a way to create revenue for the state and its programs that are so hard hit by sensless cuts.

Full Tilt Poker sale approved by DOJ and one last hurdle

OnlinePokerRakebacks com — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 21:19:00 GMT

Its reported that the Department of Justice has agreed to allow Groupe Bernard Tapie to purchase Full Tilt Poker, however there are still going to be many challenges to be won before this deal is finished anytime soon. This looks like it is going to be a lengthy legal battle that could last for several years and not to mention the accounting nightmare which accountants have to deal with in order to chase the money trail. The DOJ said that the deal could be completed as long as the United States players were repaid all money that they are owed. Its estimated that Full Tilt Poker owes anywhere from $300-$450 Million worldwide, with a bulk majority of the money being said to be owed to US players. If the deal proceeds the next step to closing the deal would be to have the owners of Tiltware to have a majority vote of 2/3rds for the approval of the sale to be completed. Again, this would just allow the sale to enter another step, which would bring the sale one step closer to completion. Knowing how long the court system takes to move along, but with hundreds of millions of US dollars on the line for US citizens struggling with this economy, it would be best fitting to resolve this matter quickly so that players can get their hard earned money back to the rightful owners. No one, should want to see this drag out any longer then this paper trail to the moon, which reflects deeply on the image that greed is the true motivator for all vested parties, otherwise this would not be such an ordeal and those involved would understand that these acts cause more damage then doing nothing in the first place. Legalize online poker, tax it, govern it, and move on to more pressing issues within America and act more like patriots and less like thieves.

WSOP Main Event Musings

Karaoke Phil — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 22:53:00 GMT

The WSOP Main Event has played down to the final three - Pius Heinz, Ben Lamb and Martin Staszko - who will return this evening (11/08) to crown the championship. As the Vikings were on bye, I forsook football and spent virtually all of Sunday following the live action. Here are some comments and thoughts.....I liked the coverage and commentary. Antonio Esfandiari and Phil Hellmuth provided some insightful commentary on hands - especially without seeing the hole cards (until after a flop or preflop folds).I don't think I liked the 15 minute delay. We had nearly live coverage with that 15-minute delay for "the integrity of the game." I think 30 minutes or an hour would be better. For a standard viewer, a delay of 30 minutes or an hour is still "live", but it does a better job of maintaining play integrity. With 15 minutes you may only have a delay of 4 or 5 hands. That is too close to real time for my comfort. It seemed that each player had supports in the stands receiving info on the televised but time-delayed hands. Czech Martin Staszko seemed to use the dinner break as scout report time and really adjusted his play accordingly - particularly against German Pius Heinz. Who knows what other on-the-fly adjustments players like Ben Lamb made that changed the completion and tenor of the game. A slightly longer delay still maintains the "live" aspect, but puts more hands between "that great bluff he made" and actually knowing about it which I think may well have altered the complexion of the play.Now, having said the above - it seems like only Staszko adjusted his play - particularly against Heinz who was playing the ultra aggression card. That it continued to work for him is a pity - I personally don't care for him. Speaking of Staszko - there's a guy near and dear to my hear. Esfandiari gave him props several times for his play during the coverage. At one point when 4-handed Phil Hellmuth noted that Staszko's play works very well at 8 or 9 handed, but that he needed to pick up the pace and agresssion. I think I like Martin Staszko's play because it reminds me of my own style. And, his being Czech doesn't hurt at all.I'm looking forward to tonight's coverage and hope that it's payback time for the Munich Agreement of 1938. Look it up if you don't know your history and you'll find out who I'm looking at in the final two and who should win!!Check out our Poker Podcast at: cplpokerpodcast.com

I take the four biggest lines of bull that poker sites try to feed you and expose them. Truth #1: Everyone Has the Same Deals. This is really the most obvious truth. Just spend a few minutes looking around the web you will confirm this! Use a search term like “rakeback” or “poker deal” and it will be readily apparent. Your search will turn up page after page of poker sites, mostly affiliate sites. There are thousands of affiliate poker sites out there each one must somehow set themselves apart from the rest in spite of the fact that they all offer exactly the same poker room deals! To set themselves apart poker sites offer incentives. Some of these can be complex, such as point’s races to earn prizes or acclaim. Or they can be very straightforward, an automatic referral system, (referral roulette) for example. When the publishers of these sites exclaim that they have the “best rakeback deals” or the “most generous VIP program” they are not lying. There just hoping that you have just crawled out from under a rock and not noticed that all the other poker sites have the same “best rakeback” deal. Truth #2: Sign-up Bonuses are Mirrors and Flash. To read the ads and banners of any poker room you’d think that there begging you to take some free money! For the most part nothing could be farther from the truth. Reading the details of these sign-up deals is not likely to clear things up very much either. You see, I’m convinced that such text is designed to mislead you into thinking that the sign-up bonus is much easier to get than it really is. In this blog post I’m not going to go into the gory details because they all work a little bit differently and also because I don’t want to do that much mind wrenching research! Suffice it to say they all involve a formula that is based on how much you play and bet. As you play parts of your sign-up bonus are released into your poker room account. If you are a player who spends a few hours a week playing low stakes poker, you will see little or none of that sign-up bonus. You just don’t play enough. If you are going to be playing mid steaks or higher and are making a big deposit then I’d say you want look very carefully at the new deposit deal. You will want to get the most you can out of it. If you’re a low steaks player making a small deposit you’re going to get pretty much the same deal everywhere. Truth #3: Lipstick is put on Pigs. Many poker sites claim that they offer rakeback on a room or network that does not offer rakeback. They call it rakeback, but it’s not. They’re just putting lipstick on a pig. For example: The merge network ended rakeback for new signups on 6/1/2011. Yet you can find hundreds of sites that say they can offer you a rakeback deal on Merge! What they are doing is calculating a players potenual rewards that can be earned via the rooms VIP program and presenting it as rakeback. Totally bogus! Since many players don’t play enough to get much out of these VIP programs. If you read some details on the site some of them will disclose the “rakeback” is really rakeback via VIP. However some don’t even tell you that! They just let you figure it out all by yourself. When you realize after a week that no rakeback is being paid into your account! Truth #4: You Do Not Need a Bonus Code or Sign-up Code. Here I’m talking about signing up for a new poker room account. I’ve never seen or heard of a room that does not give all new players there current new deposit/new player matchup deal. Codes are mostly used for tracking and marketing purposes. Sometimes you may need a code for a certain promotion or to chose between promotions. Americas Cardroom is a new room (formally Doyle’s Room) that seems to be doing things a bit differently. They are not playing the code game; in fact they have not published any codes! I hope this trend continues as other rooms evolve. It eliminates one layer of bull from the process! What to Look For in a Poker Site. The first thing to look for is life! When was the site last updated? Is there any life in this site? If there is a forum when was the last posting? Look at the poker rooms they offer. Are they offering rooms that you know are not available such as Full Tilt? It’s amazing how many sites still list rooms as available that were shut down by the DOJ on black Friday. Stay away from these dead or almost dead sites. How frustrating would it be to download and install a poker room on your computer only to be informed when you try to create an account that the room you’ve just installed no longer accepts US players! You’d be surprised how often this happens. Those are thousands of sites that still have those cute little US flags parked next to rooms that do not accept US players anymore! Look for a site that tells it to you straight! Call ma a shameless whore for postng this but I hope you will look at my site; Bluerakeback.com

Running the Perfect Home Game - Part 4.1 - Rules and Structure

Zombie — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 18:18:00 GMT

In July, 2010; Rod ran a series to help new hosts run a perfect home game. While highly informative, It could use a little tweaking.Specifically, the section on Blinds.Blinds can ruin an otherwise awesome game. So know what you are doing here. There are so many factors to consider, I will create an example, and you can derive the rest from there - or leave comments, and I can tell you how I would adjust.Before I start, let me tell you what NOT to do. EVER. These things suck, and many people don't know they suck until they see things done right.DON'T- raise the blinds whenever players are eliminated. This makes for very slow early levels, rewarding tight players. The more you reward the tight players, the longer the early levels last. It's a vicious cycle of boredom, until players start getting knocked out. Then the blind levels start going up every few hands. I've played in games like this that started at 7pm and ended around 3am. I've also seen then wrap up in under 2 hours. I did not attend a 3rd time.DON'T- make up blind levels on the fly. Everyone deserves the right to know what the levels will be, and determine their play style appropriately.DON'T- make the amount of time at each blind level too short. Home games tend to play slower as players are talking, not paying attention, and collecting chips when they should be dealing. If each blind level is just 10 minutes, you might only get in a couple of hands before the next level.DON'T- forget to allow time for breaks. Drinkers need to refill their drinks, others will need to use the restroom, and smokers need to go outside to burn one (I do not allow any of those activities at the table) scheduled breaks allow these activities, plus cross-table socialization without the pressure of missing hands or slowing/halting game-play.DON'T- make the starting blinds too big! If your Big Blind in level 1 is 200, and you start with 5000 in chips, a calling a minimum raise pre-flop through the flop-turn-river is 20% of your stack. One guy with a minimum re-raise after you, and you could be out 40% in one hand. No chance for the loose player to play his game unless they get lucky in the first few hands.1) Players. Before you determine the blinds, ask yourself this: how far are people traveling? sometimes, K-J beats A-A. 2 pair, trips, even a backdoor flush can send someone home early. So if anyone traveled more than 15 minutes, they deserve more than 15 minutes of fun. For our example, we will assume you have 8 players driving across town, 30 minutes each way.2) Rebuys. Rebuys carry 2 big risks: loose play, and more chips (and the risk of you running out of chips). If your guests are all the happy go lucky, bluff till you drop types, then rebuys are fine (as long as you don't run out of chips). But if any of your guests are conservative, the loose play *will* annoy them. $20 may not be much to some players, and they can rebuy their fool heads off, while $20 may be the monthly entertainment budget for others. In our example, We will assume a mix of players, both wealthy and the recently unemployed factory worker.3) Number of Chips. You can't play with more chips than you have, So your starting stacks and rebuys will be influenced by the number of players and the number of chips you have available. Our example will reflect a medium sized case of 500 chips in various denominations, with a total chip value of 26,0004) How late will you play? Casinos have blinds for a reason. It allows them to predict an end time. While you don't need to pay dealers, or open up the room for another tournament; knowing how late the guests need to pay for a babysitter, or if you should be playing tonight when you have plans for tomorrow morning are factors you need to consider. I have worked out a complex spreadsheet that allows me to predict what time my tournaments will end (largely accurate to within a few minutes). A good rule of thumb for home games: The tournament will end about 5-10 minutes after the big blind reaches the level that players started the tournament with. If you have rebuys, it will go a little longer with each rebuy. Don't forget to calculate in time for breaks.That's it! now looking at our example, this is how I would lay out the Blind Structure:Because we have players driving in, making a 1 hour round trip, we will allow rebuys, so a bad beat early in the night send them packing. To accommodate our friend who is down on his luck, only 1 rebuy will be allowed per player. This will tighten up the loose play, but not too much. You could also make the game Limit Holdem for the first hour, but I don't like this as much, mostly because Limit is a different game.Our players will each start with 2000 in chips. That's 200 big blinds in level 1! That allows for any style of play early on. It also leaves 10,000 in chips in the case. This allows for coloring up chips. If each player started with 20 Red chips (value 5) and 20 Green chips (value 25) we would need 4800 in chips to handle the coloring up. The extra chips will also help cover rebuys. My group averages 1 rebuy for every 3 players, so we should have enough. If we have more rebuys, we may have to recycle the red chips, revaluing them at 1000. We could also have reduced the starting stack for more breathing room.We will start at 7pm, and plan to wrap up at midnight, so the blinds will be 15 minutes long. Since we can estimate 16 blind levels, cutting just 2 minutes off each level will wrap up the event by 11:30.Level Small Blind Big BlindI 5 10 II 10 20 III 15 30 IV 20 40 Scheduled Break: 10 min.

Guinness World Record Attempt for Poker Playing Marathon to be held in Goa, India

The Shark — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 08:48:00 GMT

The Shark is ready to change poker history and all of that is going to happen right here in India at the Casino Royale, Goa in November 2011. The Shark is organizing the India Poker Legend Marathon Cash Games Session from the 22nd – 27th November 2011, where the Guinness Book of World Record's longest marathon poker session held by Phil Laak (115 hours at the Bellagio in Las Vegas in June 2010) will be challenged. Maximum 9 players will attempt to break this record and the last man standing after 115 hours will go down into the Guinness Book of World Record. The organizers have already signed up 5 players to attempt this record and are limiting entry to 9 players, so any other players who believe they could challenge this record should contact the organizers soon. The organizers have sent a message to all poker players in India and abroad saying “Even if players do not want to participate, we encourage you to come to just watch, cheer and support the participants in putting Indian Poker on the World Poker Map. To keep all supporters involved there will of course be cash games running throughout the event suiting every buy-in.” The event has been officially sanctioned by Guinness World Records, the ultimate authority on record-breaking achievement and the organizers are taking every care to follow the guidelines provided by Guinness such that if the record is broken, then the record should get listed with Guinness. The organizers of the event – The Shark are involved in organization of multiple successful poker tourney brands in India including “Poker Dream Challenge”, “India Poker Open” and “India Poker Legend”. The organizers see India as an emerging, but fast growing market and believe that within the next 12 months, India will become a regular stop on the Asian Poker Circuit. For any enquiries regarding the attempt by players, media or sponsors, please log onto www.theshark.in or contact by email at info@theshark.in or by calling Pranav Bagai +91-9818206165, +91-11-46512064.

Should You Rake Your Home Game?

bluegaragepoker — Sat, 20 Aug 2011 15:50:00 GMT

Cover your home game expenses the easy way.Anyone who has ever hosted a home game understands the issue. Paying for everything. Taking the time and making the effort to pull the game together week after week. To a man, everyone in your game undervalues your efforts. In their view; it’s BYOB so your only expenses are a bag of ice, a fresh deck of cards, and a little electricity which amounts to next to nothing. As for the “better than casino quality” equipment and killer entertainment system you’ve invested thousands in, your friend’s figure it’s your hobby. According to this breakdown it sounds like your weekly expenses to host the game are about $10.For over 20 years now I have hosted poker games at my home. Hosting a poker game is really a lot of work. Anyone who has not hosted a regular poker game in their home cannot truly appreciate the effort required to pull off a smooth game each week. Ironically, a smooth game means your efforts are invisible, no one has to think about how the ice got there, or where the new decks of cards come from. It’s inevitable that every week someone shows up at the game that forgot their drink mixers, or didn’t get to the liqueur store in time, or forgot their Diet Coke, blunt wrap, or whatever. You end up being the backup supplier for these things. Some of them are nickel dime, some aren’t. They add up in a hurry. Rake the game to cover your game expenses. Sounds illegal, but it doesn’t have to be. In many areas it is illegal to run a game for profit. And since a rake is associated with all for profit games, many assume that all raked games are illegal. Now I’m not a lawyer so don’t take this as legal advice but it seems to me that if you rake just enough to cover game expenses you would be within the law.Make your game “all inclusive”. It doesn’t cost that much. For most games if you rake $100, you will be able to run a VIP style poker game that includes an open bar, food, and all the other little things that make playing at your place appealing. In most games with a rotating deal if you rake 10%, one dollar max per hand, you are going to end up with about $100 in the kitty at the end of the night. Or you can cap the amount raked so that once that amount is reached you stop the rake for the rest of the night.Raking the game makes dealing with all your game expenses easy. One common objection that will come up is from the players that don’t drink. “Why should I pay for an open bar when I don’t drink?” Answer: Cheap bastard syndrome; players that would not drink much if they feel like their paying for it will drink like fish when it is included for “free”. The sober player benefits from the money loosening effects of this “free” booze and as such should have no problem chipping in for it.Most players will quickly realize the benefits of running the game this way. Your game becomes easier to play in when all a player has to do is show up at the game with cash in hand.Read the full article at BlueRakeBack.com

Adamo notebooks along with Apple’s MacBook Air

gexuemei — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 01:26:00 GMT

The latest effort came Tuesday with the introduction of the XPS 15z, the first in a series of laptops that are billed as thinner and more elegantly designed. Dell is trying to demonstrate that it understands what consumers want– in addition to what business customers, its core market, want. Dell has struggled to find the right formula for consumers. A number of its consumer HSTNN-UB41 products have failed to gain much traction like its Streak tablet and Venue smartphones. The new laptop, which has an aluminum and magnesium alloy body, appears to have drawn some of its inspiration from Dell’s failed line of Adamo notebooks along with Apple’s MacBook Air and Pro. The XPS 15z is less than an inch thick, which Dell said made it the thinnest 15-inch PC laptop on the market. (The Apple Air, though, still appears to retain that title.) Previous XPS laptops had been criticized in reviews as clunky-looking and heavy. The latest HSTNN-XB37 version is noticeably sleeker and starts at a weight of 5.54 pounds, nearly a pound lighter than its predecessor. In terms of specs, the XPS 15z uses Intel i5 2410M (2.3 GHz) or i7 2620M (2.7 GHz) dual core processors. Memory is 4GB to 8GB. Its screen is 15.6 inch with a 1080p resolution. Standard HP 516479-121 Battery life is listed as up to 8:22 hours. The XPS 15z starts at $999, making it hundreds of dollars cheaper than its would-be Apple competition. Dell is trying to reinvigorate its consumers business following a 7 percent decline in consumer sales to $3 billion during its most recent quarter. The decline was part of a broader slowdown in consumer computer sales because of a shaky economy and a shift by shoppers to HSTNN-DB94 tablets. Stephen J. Felice, president of Dell’s consumer, and small and medium sized business division, said in an interview that the company had been retooling its consumer business over the past year. It remained a large source of revenue at Dell – about 20 percent of the HP NU089AA Battery company’s overall business – and one with continued potential, he said, despite concerns that Dell might de-emphasize the division. To underscore his point, Mr. Felice said that there was an increasingly strong link between sales to consumers and small businesses. A new hybrid is emerging, called “prosumer” shoppers, people who use their computers at both work and home. a hybrid HSTNN-IB93 device that, through the cunning use of hinges, can go from a tablet to a keyboarded portable in a short flip. On top of Windows, Dell has added a layer of software the company calls Duo Stage. From this, a collection of touchable icons can be reached, opening up music, photos and other tablety applications that Dell expects HSTNN-IB94 consumers to use.

I Don’t Care for Poker Celebrites

bluegaragepoker — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 21:59:00 GMT

I Don’t Care for Poker CelebritesBy bluegarageSo you ask, bluegarage, why do you not like poker celebs? Well its not that I don’t like them, I don’t respect them. At least in regard to there play in big tournaments. This is because the game is just too easy for them. Unlike in sports where things tend to get harder as you age and gain notoriety, poker is the opposite. For the poker pros who have, through good fortune or good play, gained enough notoriety to be considered a poker celeb, life as a pro becomes much easier. Think about it, these people are sponserd for the most part, and seldom put their own money on the line. Poker is a game of money. Take the money out and anybody can make the right call. When real money becomes play money the game gets easier. The player I respect can take his/her last few dollars into a game and still make the right play when his backs against the wall, and do it without breaking a sweat.Most of the “poker Celebs” obviousily are very good players, that’s how they got where they are. However I think there is some inequity in these big tournaments that have a lot ot sponsored players up against players who have had to fork over their hard earned money to participate. Probably shouldn’t call it cheating, but it does seem to create inequity, and isn’t that what cheating does?
