Poker Blog and Poker Gossip

So, the European Poker Tournament was live streaming to the internets, when 6 armed men showed up and robbed the place.

Here is the link to the youtube video, i will try to embed it, but it hasn’t worked for me in the past.

Long story short..it’s not just home games that can be robbed when there is a lot of money and very little security. 

… because the site is full of retarded players.  Sky Poker must attract some of the biggest online poker donks out there.  Basically people sign-up and play here because they want to be on TV.  They obviously don’t care about the money or else you wouldn’t see this kind of stuff:

*** Special Offer *** Sky Poker has provided us with a special promotion for non-us players.  Instead of the standard bonus of just 500 player points, players that sign-up through BankrollBoost.com will receive a bonus up to £500 based on how many points they accumulate.  So potentially you could deposit just £10 and receive £500 for FREE!  For all details visit SkyPoker.com by clicking the banner below:

One of the things I think a lot of the poker shows are laking in is solid humour and players just having a great time.  So, why not throw a bunch of comedians and poker players at the same table, stick a few hot girls in the background?  Well, that is the concept behind the newest poker show called Sam’s Game.  Playboy TV will be lauching their new poker show in June with such celebrities as: Norm MacDonald, Artie Lange, Jennifer Tilly, Jennifer “Jennicide” Leigh, Dave Attell and several others.

This show looks like it will be a good mix of poker and comedy with that sexyness expected from Playboy.  I hope this show does well and look forward to catching some of the episodes when they air.

Here is a preview of Sam’s Game:

Thought this would make for a good post.  Found this video on RawVegas.TV of strippers playing some poker.  The girls of Rick’s Cabaret in Vegas take over the Hard Rock to play in a poker tournament with $10k on the line.  Here is the video:

I came accross this video about some poker players that are living in Phuket, Thailand on Bill Rini’s blog and thought it was pretty funny and worth sharing.  Over the past few years many poker players have started moving to various inexpensive places around the world for the better life.  The two most popular are probably Thailand and Argentina.

I spent last winter in Buenos Aires, Argentina and have to say that it was an AMAZING place and if you are a poker player looking to relocate, I would go there.  The girls are wayyyyyy better looking than the thai ones and its just an all around fun place with people from all over the world.

Anyway, here is a video that a couple poker players living in Thailand made about their daily routine.  It takes a while to get to the point, but its still a cool watch with a nice soundtrack.

Came accross this poker video on metacafe about Poker Tells, and its not that bad (if you can get passed the guy’s annoying voice).  It is called the 10 Best Poker Tells.  Most of these tells apply better to live poker, but still worth taking a look.

Here’s the video:
