I’ve always been a big fan of the Poker Brat. He’s an entertainer and seems to liven up every comp he attends. This week in Paris was no exception. Moaning, whinging, cockiness, arrogance, you know, the usual Hellmuthisms. Anyhow, it got me thinking. I love Hellmuth spiels such as ‘If there weren't luck involved, I guess I'd win every one’ and ‘I can dodge bullets, baby’, but what are the best all-time poker quotes? Well, you guys probably have your own views, but here’s my top ten. See what you think. (1) Once you start thinking you have nothing left to learn, you have everything to learn -- Steve Badget (2) If, after the first twenty minutes, you don't know who the sucker at the table is, it's you -- Rounders (3) Forget about a chip and a chair, give me hand and I'll stand -- Warren Karp (4) There is more to poker than life -- Tom McEvoy (5) Even a blind squirrel catches the nuts sometimes -- nickylala (6) You can sheer a sheep many times, you can skin him only on...

When your done with this be sure to come read all of our poker articles at Recentpoker.com My life may currently be centred around poker, but, for a long time, I was working two jobs. At the office during the day, and in front of the lappie at night. For many months, I was the proverbial candle burner. At first, this was a real struggle. The late nights, fatigue, lethargy, etc, affected both my game and my work. I was irritable during the day and totally zapped at night. My job became more of an effort and my poker diminished in quality. To combat this, I decided to make a few changes: (i) Play less live poker If you play live and do well, you probably won’t be seeing beddie byes until 3-5am. Maybe even 6am if you have far to travel. Personally, I need at least an hour to wind down, otherwise I just can’t get to sleep. If you throw into the mix petrol, smoky clothes, fewer games, etc, then perhaps it would be best to frequent the online tables. There’s nothing wrong with playing live, ...

PartyGaming chief executive Mitch Garber has said he thinks there is a 50% chance of new prohibitionist US legislation which outlaws online gambling being scrapped within three years should the balance of power in Washington drift away from the Republicans. “That might seem like wishful thinking but we could see a strong backlash from US players ... and there could be changes [of control] in the house and senate,” he said. “In the meantime, we are going to keep our US database of [former] players - don’t forget, 10 million people have our software downloaded on their computers.” His position was echoed by Sportingbet chief executive Andy McIver, who also believes the US political climate could change in the industry’s favour. However, industry insiders suggested offshore operators such as PartyGaming, Sportingbet and 888 would be unlikely to regain their dominance in the US should anti-online gambling laws be fully unravelled. They would face heavy competition from the likes of Las Veg...

Ontario will seek to ban advertising for gambling websites, citing their growing popularity among the province's youth. The sites are illegal under the federal Criminal Code, but Government Services Minister Gerry Phillips said Ottawa has not made the issue a high priority. On Thursday, Phillips will introduce a bill to ban the ads, arguing that online gambling is attracting a young demographic and is essentially unregulated. "There's no doubt that there's a substantial number of young people who are participating on these illegal gambling sites," he told CTV.ca on Wednesday. He also cited another problem: the impact on the province's horseracing industry. The Criminal Code makes an exception for online racetrack betting. "In the province of Ontario we've got a very large horseracing industry -- the breeders, the people who run the farms and the racetracks -- and it's very good business," said Phillips. "They say to us, 'We operate l...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prohibition II: Good Grief When government restricts Americans' choices, ostensibly for their own good, someone is going to profit from the paternalism. By George F. Will Oct. 23, 2006 issue - Perhaps Prohibition II is being launched because Prohibition I worked so well at getting rid of gin. Or maybe the point is to reassure social conservatives that Republicans remain resolved to purify Americans' behavior. Incorrigible cynics will say Prohibition II is being undertaken because someone stands to make money from interfering with other people making money. For whatever reason, last Friday the president signed into law Prohibition II. You almost have to admire the government's plucky refusal to heed history's warnings about the probable futility of this adventure. This time the government is prohibiting Internet gambling by making it illegal for banks or credit-card companies to process paym...
