iPhone gambling rumors are false

Earlier in the week I reported that the iPhone will come preinstalled with Full Tilt (real money online poker). These rumors have turned out to be false.
Apple were thinking of making a deal with Full Tilt, but Apple declined out as they felt it would be bad for the iPhone’s “reputation”. I agree with Apples [...]

Terrible day

I started off great as I mentioned in the previous post. But things have turned around a bit. I lost around $1600 at Party later in the day. I won about $100 back at TowerGaming, but I’m still down approximately $700 for the day.
Still a few hours left of the day so hopefully I’ll win [...]

Another good start to the day. Lets hope it continues…

I just finished playing a 90 minute session. I made a profit of $850, playing at Party.
I won $868 from one guy. He was probably on tilt. The first hand he pushed allin for about $420 when I raised to $14 with QQ. I called (because I had saw push allin a few hands before [...]

Today started off great… but finished terribly

I started off the day really well. I was up over $1000 in under 30 minutes. I then went on to lose most of it. Going down to about $200 profit. This was at TowerGaming.
I then played at Patry and won $1000. In my final session of the day I lost $1600. I played some [...]

First day of poker

Finished exams!

I just finished my exams! In general my exams didn’t go too well, but the one I had today. I think I will get AAAB. I was hoping for AAAA though.
I will now be playing poker for 6 weeks straight. 40 hours a week.
My goal is to reach a bank roll of $50k. I’m currently [...]

Apple iPhone to include online gambling and poker sponsor

The iPhone will come preinstalled with Full Tilt online poker software.
Strange move by Apple – especially since Steve Jobs is against gambling.
Full Tilt Poker made an offer that Apple “couldn’t refuse”. I think a lot of money must be involved in this deal. There seems no other logical explanation for this. Apple will probably take [...]

Day 21 also saw the first heads-up bracelet awarded. Plus long-time professional but first time bracelet winner Jeffrey Lisandro was finally [...]

Hoyt Corkins wins his 2nd bracelet

Corkins won Event 30, $2500 No-Limit Hold’em/Six Handed today.
Corkins played deep stack poker perfectly. He was patient when he needed to be and he was aggressive when he had to be. After he won the tournament, Corkins was awarded the WSOP bracelet by Doyle “Texas Dolly” Brunson himself. A perfect end to pretty perfect day [...]
