As was published here over the weekend, it has recently been made public that Tom “durrrr” Dwan has officially signed with FullTiltPoker.com. The online poker website has given the heads-up specialist a warm welcome with an Tom Dwan Website featuring a welcome video and other highlights from the career of Dwan.

One of the best areas of the Official Website is the welcome video from Team FullTilt Poker poker players Howard Lederer, Andy Bloch, Jennifer Harman and others. The Tom “durrrr” Dwan video on Full Tilt Poker also features an appearance from the legendary online poker player, ”durrrr”.

Tom “durrrr” Dwan has been keeping himself very occupied lately with a new Dwan blog, which will actually be posted from events of Dwan himself. Without mentioning the durrrr Challenge which is on its 27,185th poker hand out of the projected 50,000 total hands.

The largest prize pool ever was announced by Bodoglife, with the main Texas hold em event giving away $300,000. The total for the eight day poker event will be over $650,000, over the course of the fourteen tournament event. The Bodog Poker event will begin Sunday, September 28th and continues through Sunday, October 5th. The well-known Texas Hold em tournament website will also feature six “Bounty” tournaments, where the contestants can win $109 in Texas Hold em credits for each Team Bodog poker player they eliminate from the poker tournament. The hottest poker players will be playing all conteders in the poker contest.

Team Bodog champ, Justin Bonomo, is indisputably excited about the poker championship. Throughout his poker career, the 23 year old has received around $1.4 million. He says that if you considered that the first Texas Hold em tournament was huge, you will definitely be astounded with this year’s Texas Hold em Tournament and the cash involved. He also challenges anyone that has the courage to knock him out of the poker tournament to step forward.

The first Bounty Tournament is going to be the first poker game in the championship on Sunday. Any poker player has the ability to buy-In right into this, and any of the other Texas Hold em games with cash. Or another choice is to win their way into the poker events through the satellites which are held every night during the poker contest week. Bodog will feature six bounty events and seven “Championship Events”, which will feature higher buy-ins and deeper stacks.

Bodog’s event will have thirteen tournaments which will lead up to the main Texas Hold em event on Sunday, October 5 at 4:00 p.m. E.S.T. This is the poker championship with a guaranteed $300,000 in prizes, regardless of the total number of players in the championship. All the poker players who want to enter the main tournament will have to pay $500 for the buy-in and in return will receive 10,000 in poker chips.

According to the 2006 World Series of Poker champion, Jamie Gold, he would be happy to be recognized as the all time best bluffer in the world of poker. But if his last tournament is any sign, his wish may not come true at all.

The site is the 2007 Doyle Brunson Five Diamond World Poker Classic held at the Vegas Bellagio Hotel Casino in 2007. Featuring $50 - $100 blinds and a $15,000 buy-in, Darrell Dicken is just barely holding on. The seat 4 player has just raised his bet to $300, a pretty small raise with only one player taking the bait. “I put him as being weak,” Jamie said, “I was thinking about raising, but instead I just called with a 10-3 of hearts to see what would happen.”

Jamie thought that Brad Booth would make some kind of move, which he did. He re-raised to $1600 from the big blind. Gold was thinking that Booth had a decent hand, but he was in an excellent position to make a move considering the quantity of dead money in the pot. Dicken ended up folding, and the unknown in Seat 4 called Booth’s raise.

At this point there was over $4000 in the pot, so Jamie wagered another $4000. His thought was, only if someone else had aces or kings there would be no possibility they would make that call. Jamie’s strategy was to make a sizeable move on the flop, as long as no ace was dealt. The second part of his strategy was to get Booth to fold, which he did. Booth folded with pocket queens.

Coming out of the flop there was an ace of ace-6-5, two clubs. The player in seat 4 checked and Jamie bet $2000. Jamie’s first thought was to make him think that he had clubs. Seat 4 tossed out a $10,000 chip, but didn’t say anything thus changing his raise into a call. Jamie’s thought was that seat 4 definitely had an ace, but you have to protect it in case he hits his set on the upcoming card.

A 2 of hearts was dealt on the turn, and Jamie quickly folded to what he thought was a top pair kicker. Seat 4 displayed a king-jack off suit. Seat 4 overpowered Gold by bluffing with a superior hand, he created a great poker play and continued with the bluff all the way through to the finish.

Texas Holdem’ was a game available only in hotels in Vegas or from video poker machines, but now it is more in style than ever in Sin City thanks to the TV and the internet.

The famous Venetian Resort Hotel and Casino, is now betting on this popularity with its new audience-participation show called “The Real Deal!” in its Venetian Showroom, beginning in October.

This new idea will unite comedy and game show elements to entertain its live audience. The audience will also be able to participate in the popular game of Texas Holdem’ alongside the the best poker players in the world. Many prizes are available for the audience including a chance to win 1$ million.

In “The Real Deal!” the audience will play with players like Doyle Brunson, Phil Hellmuth and Daniel Negreanu. Around 10 of the best poker players in the world have already signed up for the show. The audience will be able to play along with the 90 minute game thanks to handheld, wireless, touch screen devices located on each seat.

“People who come to Las Vegas casinos want to play different types of poker games,” Negreanu says, “but obviously they can’t play in a big game with the players like Doyle or Phil Hellmuth. But, in this show, they actually can.” At the start of the show, six audience members will be chosen to sit at the poker table on stage with two pros. Each audience member is then involved in the action by being dealt a unique poker hand on their devices. Everyone in the showroom is then involved in the action with big-screen monitors located on stage.

Creators of the show say that you don’t have to be a poker player to take part in the poker game. There are other ways to boost your point total, that doesn’t involve playing poker necessarily. Betting on the suit of the next poker card or trying to guess which state a particular audience member is from, are just some of the ways to come out a poker champion in this game.

The show’s creators are also betting on the great personalities of the professional poker stars to create some exciting moments. People like Scotty Nguyen, the flamboyant five-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner, definitely knows about entertaining the crowd and is a sure bet for some great TV moments in this upcoming show .

The NFL Regular Season is about to start, and some people are still a little puzzled about how to bet on the total of a game. Basically the way it works is the sports book website will create a total for a specific aspect of the game and the bettor will either guess on the points going higher than the amount set or lower.

The most common over-under bet at any sports book would be the total points scored by the end of the game. The best example is from the online sportsbook pinnacle sports, which has the total of the Redskins vs. Giants game at 41 points. If you were to guess that the total points scored by both teams combined will be higher than 41, you would have to risk $110 to win $100 (the odds are the same for the under).

You may notice other sports books posting a total with a half-point, for example the sportsbook sbg global has a total of 38½ for the Bengals vs. Ravens game. The idea of the half a point is basically to avoid a draw if the total points in the game actually add up to 38 points.

There is another way that the sport book websites can adjust the line without touching the total, this is by moving the money line. For example the online betting website intertops sports has the odds the boxing match between Marquez and Casamayor at 9½ rounds with the over at -350 and the under at +275. This tells you that the favorite is the match lasting 10 rounds exactly.

Now you should be an expert at betting on the total points, so take a look at your favorite sportsbook for more total odds.

With the NFL Regular Season right around the corner, it´s time to load up your favorite sportsbook page and begin wagering on your favorite teams. If you are one of these people who has grown tired of the same boring point spread and total, then the “proposition” bet may be just what you need. This overlooked portion of the betting world is now becoming more and more popular among die-hard bettors. The proposition or “prop” (as it is more commonly referred to), involves almost every aspect of the game you can think of. Maybe you´re willing to bet your month´s salary that Brett Favre will pass for more than 300 yards against the Bengals, or that the Bengals will be the first team to score a touchdown in that game. Props not only involve wagers on a single game or player, but also on a specific team´s performance throughout the season. Some examples could be a wager on the Patriots to win the AFC Conference, risking $100 to win $165, or wagering on the long shot Atlanta Falcons to win the Super Bowl $100 to win almost $17000.
The Super Bowl is probably the most famous sporting event related to proposition bets. In this particular game, you are able to wager on almost anything from the winner of the coin toss, all the way to a bet on whether the game will finish in overtime. Not even the half-time show is off-limits in regards to prop wagers, some past props include: which song a certain performer will sing or if there will be another “wardrobe malfunction” as we saw a few years back.
Maybe football is not for you. Would you dare to wager that Obama will become the president of the U.S.? You would need to risk $260 to win $100, or you could bet on McCain to win the election at odds of $100 to win over $200.
Props are definitely a good choice for any bettor, with high odds and exciting decisions. Why not check out your trusty sportsbook for these and other great proposition bets.
