Why do I like playing poker? Why do I spend several hours each week gazing into a computer screen watching 2 cards being dealt to me and 5 cards being dealt on the table over and over again? Why do I bother keeping detailed records of session times, rebuys and net profits? Why do the 37$ I won during a session yesterday mean more to me than the 200$ I could earn sports-betting in half the time?
I already know the game and most of its aspects after 4 years of online poker, and I'm really not that

Bingo is mentioned more and more in advertising and in the media in general. I keep being amazed how fast this gambling segment is growing. 888 Holding plc (Pacific Poker) reported just a few days ago that the company revenue on Bingo, through the brand 888ladies, was up fourfold to $12m in just one quarter.
So I had to see what it was all about, just like the first time I tried poker at Party Poker back in 2003 or betting at Bet24 in 2001. I signed up at 888ladies and received $20 in free "chips"

In the series of articles describing necessary skills required for good Bankroll Management at PokerBankrollBlog.com the personal skill – motivation – will be the next skill I will go into depth with. For you to know what I refer to when I say motivation a definition of motivation is necessary:
.....inner state of desire or need. That desire or need creates a movement or activity towards satisfying that desire…
So actually it is based on an internal drive or need that is already there –

Poker and life....my toughest subject to write about to date on the Poker Bankroll Blog. Since I am suffering from a complete lack of inspiration on what to write about "Poker and Life", most likely because a title of that caliber demands some deep philosophical considerations, I think I will start in a small corner of the topic at hand and share some of my thoughts and experiences on how to combine poker and having a girlfriend. Perhaps some deeper thoughts on poker and life will emerge.....we

Ladbrokespoker.com is to set to join the Microgaming Poker Network to ensure more action for its players in tournaments and certain cash games.

Commenting on the move John O'Reilly, Managing Director, Ladbrokes Remote Betting and Gaming said:

Well, we keep running with our projects – hot weather or not!! We are really exited with our projects and many things will

It is always good to have other interest than poker to fall back on if you need a break from the tables to regain focus. For some reason I like plants, in particular trees. So when I saw the Ficus Microcarpa Ginseng Bonsai tree in Ikea April this year, I had to have it even-though Ficus bonsai trees in that size are quite expensive (>100$). I rather cleverly presented it as a present for my girlfriend; being a poker player it always pays off to gain some goodwill on the home front, but more
