2008 WSOP Details Announced
October 29, 2007
Harrahs have announced details of the 39th Annual World Series of Poker, which will be held at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino from the 30th or May to 17th of July 2008. No word as yet on the schedule of events, which this year featured a bigger variety of non hold’em events.”The team is still hard at work on the schedule of events for next year, but we’ve received so many requests for the dates that we decided to announce them now,” said Jeffrey Pollack, WSOP Commissioner.
Once again the WSOP is marginally longer than its previous outing, though there is no word yet as to whether the number of events will increase or if the schedule will just be easier on the players. Last year total of 55 bracelet events were played and 6,358 players registered for the $10,000 main event. If the World Series of Poker Europe is anything to go by, the 2008 WSOP is only going to get bigger!

Pot Odds
October 18, 2007
Pot Odds are one of the more basic concepts in poker - unfortunately they are usually presented in a way that’s hard to understand. This video illustrates a player using pot odds to make decisions at the poker table.
This is an incredibly useful video for the new poker player and I would whole heartedly advise taking the time to watch and study the video and grasp this very important concept. I must admit it took me some time to get my head around pot odds but once I understood the math it meansyou can think a lot clearer on your feet.
