An amusing tournament write up from a tournament played at the Dusk Till Dawn poker club's monthly poker festival in Nottingham, UK. I especially liked the last part of Dungbeetles recollection where he sets up a trap for the table bully, only to find....I won't spoil it for you keep reading and you will know why this post made me laugh inside when I read it.

To celebrate our new collaboration on the Poker Bankroll Blog and PokerBRB sites, McTap03 and I have started our own bankroll building SNG and MTT (multi table tournament) project on Full Tilt Poker. Our starting bankroll is 150$ and we will be posting regular updates on our many wins and hopefully fewer losses. It goes without saying that we expect our bankroll to increase significantly in no time.
Here are our rules for bankroll

I recently stumbled upon the step SNG concept through an article I read on a Danish news website. Here a Danish SNG expert, Allan 'Sifosis' Bække, wrote some good tips on winning plays to beat the SNG steps. After investigating the step SNG system in more detail I decided to write a small review about it and include some of Allan 'Sifosis' Bække's tips on how to beat the SNG steps.
After reading about the step SNG concept I came to realize

Do you ever get the feeling that the online poker business in one big jungle of poker sites and poker networks where there's no logic to which sites offer/don't offer rakeback and allow/don't allow American players. I might have the solution to calm your nerves and provide you with that precious overview.
My buddies at WOSB (World Online Sports Bookmakers) have been working hard to put together a list of all online poker sites and rank them

I recently read another long post on Rakewell’s PokerGrump blog and liked the way it touched on the subject of why we tend to remember our bad beats better when we are on the receiving end and how it becomes easier to deal with bad beats the more of them you have experienced. In addition Rakewell again draws parallels to situations that on the surface have nothing to do with poker, which I really enjoy and therefore

This is the story of a Texas Hold'em variant known among my friends and I as Loco Poker.
Loco Poker was developed in Newcastle a few years ago when Artur and I took two weeks off to visit my brother and a friend of his who had set op base in Newcastle to live the gambler's dream. Now I'm not sure who actually invented it. If you ask Artur and my brother they will claim to their death that it's their child, but I like to think that the

Dungbeetle has had a rocky start to 2009 mostly due to losses in live cash games. Unfortunately good tournament results have yet to come in 2009 so the struggle continues. Perhaps our readers will be able to give some advice.....
I played the online Sunday majors yesterday with fairly dire results, resulting in another heavy loss. Something isn't working at the moment for me in all forms of the game, and I
