Is Isildur1 back and playing at BetFair Poker?

From HighStakesPoker.com:

In a recent PokerNews interview Isildur1 said that he still has bankroll left and will make a comeback sooner or later. Well, just yesterday “Isildur1″ was seen on Full Tilt Poker playing some $0.25/$0.50 No limit Hold’em and he lost “whooping” ten dollars.

Isildur1 has been found playing some micro stakes NLHE on Full Tilt earlier as well, although it seems that his bankroll isn’t that big there.

After the interview it’s quite obvious that he has bankroll on other sites and now it is rumored that he plays on Betfair Poker. “Omlphalotus” is rumored to be Isildur1’s new nick. (full article)

Dennis Rodman may sign with Only Poker

From Poker News Daily:

Dennis Rodman May Sign with Only Poker
The Cake Poker Network site Only Poker may sign former five-time NBA champion Dennis Rodman. Rumors abound that the announcement of the NBA bad boy joining the site will be made in two weeks.

A source close to the USA-friendly Only Poker told Poker News Daily, “We have just signed a major sports celebrity who has won numerous championships during their career.” Whether the mystery man or woman will turn out to be Rodman remains to be seen, but Only Poker appears to be ramping up its efforts to become one of the online poker industry’s household names. The site makes its home on the Cake Poker Network alongside industry giants like Cake Poker, DoylesRoom, and Poker Host.

Rodman has five NBA championship rings after stints with the Detroit Pistons, San Antonio Spurs, and Chicago Bulls. He led the NBA in rebounds per game for nearly a decade and has become one of the sports world’s most recognizable faces. He’s also been associated with World Championship Wrestling (WCW), where he teamed up with industry icon Hulk Hogan to fight former Utah Jazz great Karl Marlone and Diamond Dallas Page in 1998.

Analysis of a bluff at the DurrrrChallenge

webmaster@ultimatecasinosearch.com (UltimateCasinoSearch.com) — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 14:45:00 +0000

Ultimate Casino Search
From DurrrrChallenge.com:

Durrrr Challenge Bluff Gone Bad
In the recent running of the Durrrr Challenge, Tom Dwan raised to $800 pre-flop with 8s-10c-Js- and Patrik Antonius pushed the action to $2,400 with 7c-Jh-Kc-Qh. Dwan wasn’t content to call, however, and instead raised to $7,200. Antonius bumped it to $21,600 and Dwan finally called. The flop came 6-2-6 rainbow. Antonius moved all-in for $38,000 with air and Dwan came along after flopping a set. An eight on the turn improved the youngster to a boat, good enough to scoop the pot.

DurrrrChallenge.com sat down with PokerXFactor.com instructor Chris “Fox” Wallace to get his take on the hand.

DurrrrChallenge.com: Antonius moved all-in on the flop with nothing. What was he thinking?

Chris Wallace: Antonius misplayed this hand, but his thought process was that it’s a big pot and there was a lot of raising and re-raising pre-flop, so Durrrr might just have big cards. Really, Antonius is on a stone cold bluff. If Durrrr has a hand like A-Q-J-9, then he’s probably going to fold unless he has a backdoor flush draw. Antonius has his opponent on a high range, which is a significant mistake to make against a player like Dwan.

DurrrrChallenge.com: Did Antonius just forget how Dwan plays? Was there too much time in between Durrrr Challenge sessions?

Chris Wallace: Durrrr sometimes folds. We’re seeing hands that become huge pots and we don’t see him folding on the flop. I think these guys are going so far pre-flop with some of these hands that the game becomes tough to play. You can almost beat these guys by playing tight pre-flop. Neither has a big hand here. They are playable pre-flop hands, but they’re not hands you should 5bet with. You have to 3bet or 4bet once in a while with a mediocre hand so your range doesn’t get readable, but this is going too far. (full article)

Players Only, Sportsbook.com jumping Cake Poker ship

Two of our favorites, Players Only Poker and Sportsbook.com are set to leave the Cake Poker Network in April and head to the Merge Gaming Network, home to Carbon Poker.
From Poker News Daily:

PlayersOnly, Sportsbook.com to Leave Cake Poker Network
Rumblings in the recent London Affiliate Conference (LAC) were that by mid-April, PlayersOnly and Sportsbook.com would be departing the Cake Poker Network. Instead, Sportsbook.com's parent company, which owns both sites, will head to the Merge Gaming Network. Poker News Daily sought comment from the Cake Poker Network.

Likely by mid-April, PlayersOnly and Sportsbook.com will join the Merge Gaming Network, whose flagship site is Carbon Poker, although a firm timeline does not appear to be in place. Both sites, according to Cake Poker Network officials, brought seasonal player bases to the table, as operating a sports book remained their central focus. Major sporting events brought a spike in traffic, which then fizzled during the low season. Sportsbook.com has been a member of the Cake Poker Network since 2006, while PlayersOnly began accepting customers from across the globe in October. Prior to that, PlayersOnly was only available to poker fans in the United States and Canada.

Cake Poker officials told Poker News Daily that the family of sites will still experience growth in 2010 despite the rumored departures: “We’re expecting good growth in 2010 as a result of some significant new partners and the expansion of existing brands on the network.” For example, Phil “The Unabomber” Laak recently launched Unabomber Poker on the Cake Poker Network, bringing his unique flair to an online site. A total of eight new Cake Poker Network rooms hopped onboard in recent days, a list that also includes 7Win Poker, Redback Poker, Amsterdams Poker, Safari Poker, Dimeline, Rags2Riches Poker, and Burro Poker.

If you're bluffing, don't move — says Doyle's Room Poker Pro Mike Caro

webmaster@ultimatecasinosearch.com (UltimateCasinoSearch.com) — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 13:49:00 +0000

Ultimate Casino Search
A great tip courtesy of Doyle's Room's Mike Caro:

I teach that your opponents have a calling reflex. They came to your poker game hoping to be in action and hoping to call bets. They have a deep bias against folding. So, anything you do is apt to look suspicious and give them a reason to call. We've previously talked about deliberately triggering this calling reflex when you have a strong hand. You can jitter, wiggle, talk, or seem animated. This gives them reasons to call. Fine.

But the opposite is also true. If you're bluffing, it's usually a mistake to be animated. The more you do, the more suspicious they become, and the more apt you are to be called. The secret to how you should conduct yourself when you bluff is to be as unnoticeable as possible. But don't be too rigid and unmoving or your opponent might consider that suspicious in itself. The trick is to be as inconspicuous as possible without overdoing it.

Cake Poker to return WSOP bracelet won on Ebay to T.J. Cloutier

webmaster@ultimatecasinosearch.com (UltimateCasinoSearch.com) — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 13:54:00 +0000

Ultimate Casino Search
From PokerNewsDaily:

This afternoon, rumors spread around the poker industry that Cake Poker, which had purchased T.J. Cloutier’s 2005 World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet, was planning to return the piece to its rightful owners. Poker News Daily can now confirm those rumblings.

In a post found on Cake Poker that was created on Wednesday night, it was confirmed that the USA-friendly online poker site was indeed the new owner of the bracelet that Cloutier won in a $5,000 No Limit Hold’em event five years ago. The tournament saw the poker veteran defeat Steven Zoine heads-up in a final table that also included John “World” Hennigan, Dustin “Neverwin” Woolf, and DoylesRoom pro Todd Brunson. Text found on Cake Poker’s blog explains, “Our initial impulse upon seeing the auction was to say, ‘Hey this is a cool piece of poker history. We love poker. We should buy a WSOP bracelet!’ So we did.”

The final selling price for the WSOP keepsake was just over $4,000; Cloutier’s prize money for winning it was 165 times that amount. However, the online poker site and flagship room on the Cake Poker Network plans to return it to Cloutier: “We can’t, in good conscience, keep it from the man who rightfully won it; which is why we’ve decided to return it to T.J. Cloutier… just as soon as we’re done having some fun with it.” No specific plans for the bracelet were given, although Cake Poker officials tossed out “photo shoots” and “wearing it to a buddy’s home game” as several possibilities. The auction closed on Sunday on eBay and the hardware is currently on its way to Cake Poker’s headquarters.

An article that appeared on Wicked Chops Poker explained what might have led to Cloutier unloading his memorabilia: "We called T.J. He didn’t want to come on the air… but told our producer the following: 'I don’t want to talk about it… yeah it's mine… I was short… I pawned it… I tried to get it back with my ticket but I was too late.'" On Monday, Cake Poker officials teased that they may have purchased Cloutier’s bracelet.(full article)
