The benefits of Rakeback
    The biggest and most consistent winner in online poker is the "house" - which is real terms is either the casino or online poker room. Wouldn't it be great to get some of your rake paid back to you? This concept is called rakeback.

India Trip Report
    My flight to India is late Monday night and I arrive back in Melbourne from Sydney on Sunday with a lot a stuff to take care of before I leave. I organise to meet up with a few mates throughout Sunday, and when I shut the door to leave for dinner at Koko's I realise I've locked my keys inside. I am so %&*#^$ tilted. The Wagyu goes a little way to easing the pain.

Emad's Corner # 1
    As some of you way know, I am currently in the U.S on the WPT/WSOP Circuit. I have spent the past month in L.A playing at the commerce casino, and after giving up on the tournaments after the second event (I wasn’t happy with the structures) I decided to focus mainly on cash games.

SNG Do's & Don'ts Part 1
    There are countless other strategy guides out there, however in my opinion the best strategy for low buyin SNGs is a very straightforward, ABC-type style. These principles are aimed at $5.50/$11 normal and $6.50 and maybe $16 turbo tourneys.

2007 Aussie Millions Omaha Hi Lo Championship Part 3
    Basically what’s happened so far; I was card dead at the beginning of the tournament and was forced to play tight, as the tournament progressed and the blinds increased I started to pick up hands and dominate the table.

2007 Aussie Millions Omaha Hi Lo Championship Part 2
    After I doubled up from Lee Nelson, I was still not on Easy street just yet. I was immediately moved from Lee’s table, back to my original table. I was under the gun with AJJ2 and so I raised, I was called by a fairly tight aggressive young pro from middle position, the blinds folded and we saw a flop. The board came 2A5, I wasn’t happy with this board but I had to maintain my aggressiveness, so I bet. He was hesitant about calling, but he called.
