Poker Blog and Poker Gossip

Are you looking for the most up to date Poker Bonus information? Well look no further, there is a new site that has just launched that has it all!

PokerBonusSource.com is one of the easiest to use poker bonus sites out there. On first glance you will see all the sites that they offer bonuses for are listed down the left hand side. All of these sites are high quality sites that for the most part we would recommend ourselves, though we question their decision to add Absolute Poker.

Each site listed at PokerBonusSource.com has a review and information on the bonuses offered. For example, if you look on the left the first thing you will see is Pokerstars (which is a link to the review) with Pokerstars Marketing Code directly underneath that. The reviews themselves are very nicely laid out and easy to read. They contain screenshots, a detailed review and information about things like support and tournaments offered by the site.

After you have read all the reviews and decided on a site to play at, its time to pick your bonus. For example, if you look at the Full Tilt Poker Referral Code page you will first get a little information on what the bonus code will give you, followed by information on how to clear the bonus as well as any additional bonus offers that the site might have (ie. the Refer a Friend program Full Tilt). Everything on these pages is very straight forward and easy to find.

This site is also a great resource for American poker players. They have information on all the most popular USA poker sites plus information on what deposit methods American’s can use. One of the most recent deposit methods is something called Pic-Club. I had no idea what it was, until I read their detailed review on this payment processor.

Finally, what poker site wouldn’t be complete without some poker strategy? Here are some of the articles that you will find on the site:
* Implied Odds
* Pot Odds
* Bluffing
* Tournament Strategy
* Playing Small Pocket Pair
* Avoiding Tilt
* Table Image
* Table Position
* Online Poker Tells

The articles are very straightforward and seemed to be well written from what I could tell.

Well, that is about all I can say about the site, so if you are looking to get a new bonus, check out PokerBonusSource.com.

While we wait for some more of the WSOP events to finish, I thought I would write a review of my friends’ site that is completely dedicated to PKR Poker and 3D Poker in general.

His site launched about 2 years ago and since then he has been offering some of the best bonus codes for PKR Poker.  All their codes range from $600 to $2000 which are the highest availble offers for PKR.

One of the best features on the site is his detailed review of PKR Poker.  From screenshots to deposit options, he has everything you could need to know before making your first deposit at PKR.

So, if you want to learn more about PKR, I recommend you click one of the links above and check him out!

One of the greatest ways to make more money playing poker online is by reading lots of poker books, but if you are like me, you might hate to pay for books. Well, guess what, now you don’t have to! A new site has launched that will give you some of the best poker books for FREE, just for signing up at a poker room.

Launched very recently by my friend Marcelo, FreePokerBook.net’s goal is to reward players for their sign-ups at some great poker rooms. Each time you sign up at one of the rooms they promote, you will receive between 1 and 4 high quality poker books.

Some of the free poker books include: “Super System” by Doyle Brunson, “Winning Poker Secrets” from Mike Caro, “Million Dollar Hold’em” from Johnny Chan and Mark Karowe, “Championship Hold’em” by T.J. Cloutier and Tom McEvoy as well as many others. According to the site you can get any book on Amazon up to $25 in value.

If you are unsure which books to pick, you can’t go wrong with Super System by Doyle Brunson. It is considered the poker bible by many poker players and was the first book I ever read related to poker. I learned a ton of great info from reading it and highly recommend it to any players that are looking to take there game to the next level.

To get the books at the different sites you will need to make a deposit, collect a small number of player points (varies per site) and notify FreePokerBook.net that you have completed the requirements. They will then ship the books out directly to your front door.

Don’t read, or already have these books? No Problem! FreePokerBook.net will send you $25 in cash instead.

The best offer I found on the site is for Cardoza Poker, a site started by professional gambler and author Avery Cardoza. When you sign-up through FreePokerBook.net you will get up to 4 books for free! All you have to do is use their Bonus Code, and start playing. The full details can be found on their Cardoza Poker Bonus Code page.

Other rooms currently listed on the site are: Cake Poker, Full Tilt Poker, Titan Poker, and Sun Poker. All of these other sites will get you 2 books, other than Full Tilt Poker, which is only 1 book.

The free book promotions are separate from all the regular deposit bonus promotions, so you will still get a bonus for your sign-up on top of the free books.

If there is anything that you don’t understand about the process FPB.net has a support email that will answer all your questions. Just send them an email and they will work with you to getting your free poker books.

What are you waiting for, go get your free poker books now!

Canada’s largest poker forum is giving players a chance to win a Nintendo Wii in their recently launched online poker league. In an effort to draw in new members the site will be running a series of promotions at Chan Poker. The biggest promotion is the giveaway of a Nintendo Wii along with tons of other great prizes.  The league is currently underway and will run until the end of next month, but don’t worry there is still a good chance to make it to the final table.  Also, rumor has it that Johnny Chan himself will be making a guest appearance at one of their league games!

PokerForum.ca recently undertook new ownership which has shown some great improvements so far. These include a poker strategy section where players can post their hand histories and get analysis from other members on the site. This has been very successful and several well known players like Michael “SirWatts” Watson (who recently finished 10th at the WPT LA Poker Classic cashing in for $61,610) plus many more.

This is a results oriented poker site and in a recent poll, over 1/2 of the members have cashed in a tournament for over $1000!

The site has tons of other great sections and there are plenty of new posts every day to keep you busy.  So whether you are looking for a new set of poker chips (in their Buy and Sell section), or for some home games near to where you live, chances are you will find it on this site.

The site plans to add several more sections in upcoming months, but details still have not been released.

If you are a Canadian Poker Player, this is one site I recommend bookmarking.

It has been a while since we wrote any reviews of other poker sites and blogs, so here is a new one of our good friends (scrawnybob) over at 4KingPoker.com.

Roughly 1 year ago today, 4KingPoker started their own poker blog. Since then they have been updating it daily with tons of great poker content.

The blog is broken up into a few different parts. They have a poker strategy section, where they give you tips to improve your game, poker videos with great videos like this one of the All-in Bull Poker at Rodeo, plus the regular poker news, reviews and all other things related to online poker.

All in all, scrawnybob does a great job providing entertaining fresh content, so I definitely recommend checking it out!

Came across a thread on 2+2 about a poker player named Ed Hollis who had recently been hitting the high stakes games over at Betfair Poker.  They were talking about him playing in a $100/$200 game with a $25k stack and how this guy had some massive swings.  In the thread there was a link to his blog, so I decided to check it out.

What a great blog it was!  Ed talks about how he lives on the edge, gambling with borrowed money at times, hustling to make a living on the poker tables.  Every time he seems to work up some kind of roll he blows it all away.  To me, this looks like the true sign of a gambling degen.  He seems to do well at the $100/$200 limits, but always tries to go to $250/$500 and ends up blowing his roll.  Ed, why don’t you just stay at $100/$200???

He doesn’t just bet at poker though.  Ed even mentions some of his swings from sports betting.  Unfortunately from what I can tell, I a lot of this looks like its on borrowed money.

I am really against betting with money that you can’t afford to lose.  Hopefully this works out for him, but far too often things don’t work out that great when you are betting with money that you can’t afford to lose.

Regardless, Ed has a very entertaining blog as you can literally be part of his major swings as you follow along.  I recommend checking it out!

Good luck at the tables and please don’t get too much in debt!
