FutbolI grew up player soccer and have a soccer family that still plays, referees and coaches. You'd think that when asked who my favorite "football" team was from a UK visitor, that I'd be able to respond with something that sounded passable.I don't know anything about the teams over there, which is a bit embarrassing due to the fact that I've been around the sport since I could walk and that is

The Price of VIP ProgramsI don't want to call anybody out and make somebody look bad, so I'll keep this post generic. There was a recent article about a player who sacrificed their time (a lot of it) to make it so a high VIP level on a popular site. That player got some perks including trips and I'm sure plenty of semi-free products of his choice.Sounds awesome right?I wondered how much he gave

Poker PromotionsNow that I'm more of a small-time poker player in that I no longer commit as many hours to poker as I did my job and I no longer play for anywhere near the amount of money I used to play for, my new favorite bookmarks are the promotions pages at Full Tilt Poker and PokerStars.Even when I was playing a ton, I'd go and check out those pages (along with Party's, UB's and a few others

Olympic Hockey OddsI'm a big hockey fan as much as I don't watch baseball, football or basketball. I happen to be Washington Capitals fan where we get to enjoy watching the best player on the planet, Alex Ovechkin (who is from Russia), every game. The Caps have and have had other Russian players as well. Its funny how much watching and cheering for Ovechkin and the other Russians has gotten me to

Free money at Full Tilt PokerFull Tilt Poker is having a promotion called Take 2 where if you play 2 ring game tables at the same time and earn one point (based on rake) at each table, then you get money (cash) at the end of the month. 20 days during September gets you $50. Not bad for something that would take you about 5 minutes a day for 20 days.Don't forget about their Iron Man Challenge too

Progress on legalization"Online gambling is illegal because those in D.C. can’t figure out a foolproof way to tax the bejesus out of it — yet," - Democrat Barney FrankIt seems there has been an increase in legalization chatter. I'm looking forward to seeing if common sense prevails, if only so our government can get more tax revenue.Rather than reiterating the article here, I'll point you to it:

WCOOP and FTOPSThe two big online poker series are around the corner.

The satellites will be hopping between now and the main events so get out there and get started.FTP's FTOPS starts on 8/5 and runs through 8/16. The

PromotionsAs I'm beginning to get back into the swing of things, I'm beginning to revisit the promotions that my favorite sites have. I've always been a sucker for something unique, different and something that takes time to build up to earn. I've always been the type to outwork my peers so when Full Tilt Poker's Iron Man Challenge was announced, I thought I'd be all over it. It got me playing

So here's a challenge for you which will make you a more well rounded player, provide a change of pace and create a goal for you (you know you want one).Start with $40 and two-table the $0.20/.40 8-game on Stars. It is a rotation of 2-7, LHE, O8, Razz, Stud, Stud8, NLHE, and PLO. When you get to $65, play one table of .20/.40 and one table of $0.50/1. If you drop back to $40, go back to two

Poker and Hockey - My fantasy Mats Sundin semi-retired from hockey last year, starting playing poker including a relationship with PokerStars and has now returned. So what does that mean for his relationship with a poker site and being on a Canadian hockey team within an American league? We'll see. When you see hockey games on TV from a canadian town, there is often a Poker-related ad on the
