Christiane Ward took the event in Newcastle in fourth place and was the first woman in the context of this tour at the Final Table was sitting and has proved that women are not necessarily in "Only for Women" events to play, to be successful .
More and more women use these options and try to tournaments with higher buy-in's and a larger number of participants. The poker tours have the potential of the market for women to open poker and are a great opportunity for the many new faces in today's poker scene. The best example is Annette Obrestad, who recently the WSOP Main Event had won. Through this and her winning 2nd place at the EPT in Dublin, will surely motivate many women to try their luck in mixed events to try.
Party Poker's Women's World Open took place on 07 August in London. Although only 36 of the best female players participated, was created by the buy-in amounting to $ 3,000 a prize pool totaling $ 108,000.

Events such as Party Poker's Women's World Open show to all women in Europe, what one (or woman) through determination and hard work can achieve.

Every year Europe presented us with a larger number of professional poker players. Some of the best-known players are Isabelle Mercier (originally from Canada but now resides in France), Xuyên Pham, Katja Thater, and Vicky Coren. Women Poker has the Internet poker sites is a huge growth potential and is therefore available for all players.
Could American professional poker players, a move to Europe, in order to promote their careers or because Europe offers them better sponsorship? The UIGEA has made the American players more damage than just the gambling industry in their operations to obstruct. With the gambling ban in the U.S. were a lot of advertising dollars from the American market deducted, also included the sponsorship contracts of professional American players from the new laws affected.
Ganz aktuell is the announcement by Liz Lieu, that due to a sponsorship contract with Chili Poker wants to move to London. Could this move might be a first indicator of future changes in the poker scene?

Jamie gets half – the other half of the WSOP win is due to a judicial disposal pass |

On Tuesday had the contentious parties in the ongoing debate about the profit of WSOP Jamie Gold, with a judge's decision to deal, according to what Jamie Gold at the moment only 50% of his WSOP earnings is paid.
It is expected that the relevant U.S. District Judge Roger L. Hunt this decision at short notice by his signature will be legally and thus one half of the WSOP prize money until the final conclusion of this litigation, freezes. The decision means that one half of the prize money remains under administration of the RIO's (Las Vegas) and that the other half of Jamie Gold will be paid. The lawyers of Jamie have until 15:09 the opportunity to appeal against this decision, if appropriate, but it is still unclear which reactions of Jamie Gold's side, will take place.
There are dark shadows on the WSOP this year, which otherwise enjoys an excellent reputation. Leyser claims that he had in July this year, gold had reached an agreement, after which gold in the event of a profit this year at the WSOP Main Event, the amount of money under any circumstances should share with Him. Basis for this agreement was a further agreement in which gold Leyser allegedly would have received the contract, celebrities for the main event of the WSOP to recruit, who then, while attending the WSOP by wearing Bodog Wear for the Bodog Pokerroom, targeted Advertising should do.
Supposedly, this arrangement in writing. A text message could be saved in this case the crucial evidence supplied. This message, in which gold again assured that his offer of 50/50 split of any profits that would have still existed, was reportedly on the day of the resignation of the final tables from Leyser received. If these allegations prove correct would have the legal representatives of some gold declaration problems.
If gold is decided by the judicial decision to accept, he is the first opportunity to half its profits to pay off. The other 6 million U.S. dollars will remain there, where they have since the end of the WSOP scarcely a month ago are – in the vault of the RIO's.
Gold had the support (during the WSOP) by Leyser already confirmed in several interviews and it seems as if there was no question whether Leyer will get something – the only question seems to be how much percentage it will be.
Since the mills of justice grind very slowly, it is determined that this process drag on even longer.
Maybe gold is yes to the decision of this matter has already been acting as a champion long since been replaced be – who knows?
Stay tuned – we will keep you informed of further events information.

The poker psychotherapist: The Concept of Transfer |

One of the most common and important aspects of psychotherapy is the concept of the transfer. In principle, one could describe it as – there are always times in relationships, in which one's own needs, desires, or even their own fears to others would like. In therapy, this very often, when a patient's therapist either like it or not like. If someone you love to your parents or your bad boss reminds you will often assume that he also has other properties of the relevant person, you transfer your feelings for one person to another person. The key factor in any kind of transfer is that it almost always happens subconsciously, so you should try a "transfer" during a poker game in any case be avoided.
You have to be careful. Transmission and Read to get are not the same, although the two things so basically somehow similar. You hear that a player during a hand a lot of nonsense talk, and if he plays, you find out that he blufft. Now you have a read at what you will remember – he talks to deflect attention from his bluff. His nonsensical talk reminds them of John, what in your local casino to play poker. John is a nuisance and it is not fun to play against him, but he loses a lot of chips when he drinks and drinks that player also.
The second observation is a transfer, an emotional reaction. They have no objective reason to assume that that player's chips as "gift" is how John. You do not like to play against John, because he is after your assessment, is a fool. Although they had the first signs of Tells, when he in his bluff hand had talked so much nonsense, but the rest of your information, you have John, and not by the players receive. Therefore you should never be the characteristics of a player on another player transferred.
Transmission may not necessarily be negative, in a therapy is the most common signs of transmission, if a patient begins to like the therapist. It happens very often that the patient is in love with her therapists. This is understandable – they trust someone their deepest secrets, and one who just listens to and does not condemn them, he tries to understand her feelings and tries to help them with their life situations to bring them into compliance. This implies, it is normal that after a certain (not conscious) point, patients begin a very positive emotion to their therapists to be transferred. This is understandable, but it is based on a "clinical" and not on a social relationship.
The principal attraction of this constructed weekly patient-therapist relationship is the transfer. The same could be also on the social contacts at the poker table say.
Someone is talking with you about the stock market, your children or football. It develops a kind of relaxed friendship and someday play in a big pot against him. If your "positive" feelings for that person, the way to change how you play hands against him, you are to become victims of the transfer. Perhaps he has only to you, to gaining an advantage.
I would like you obviously do not recommend that you at the poker table is not friendly and talkative should be. You should, however, the kind of camaraderie and Frotzelei not allow to affect your game. This situation at the poker table is just as artificial, as the situation in a therapy session, so you should always remember that the key aspect of the transfer is that the transmission is almost always going on unconsciously. If you do not bet on the River, because of the nice old gentleman Seats 5 on you or you are sympathetic to the attractive young lady at number 2, never check-raise it, then you should not miss once very intense to be dealing with how the Your unconscious influences profit rate. In poker, it should be your goal, so many chips in your chip stack to transfer as possible and this should be the only transmission in your game.

Isabelle 'No Mercy' Mercier and your breakthrough at poker |

Isabelle Mercier, if not 8 years ago would have been asked, the Aviation Club in Paris for a job as a manager to accept and thus has decided against full-time to play poker, you could use it today, perhaps as their consultant engaged. "I do not commit," she says. "I forget everything, what I had learned times," Isabelle laughs and sips her glass of red wine while you are in the room around. The hat, which she contributes, she as a young girl look, which just started poker money to play, it looks in any case, as one of the best-known female poker stars with a growing list of tournament profits.
Isabelle has the Ladies World Poker Tour Main Event in 2004 and won the game thanks to their aggressive style the nickname "No Mercy (no mercy)" receive. The talent scouts from poker stars have discovered you and your one of the best sponsorship contracts throughout the poker scene offered. Poker News has teamed up with Isabelle taken in Amsterdam, where you are with us about their PokerStars sponsorship contract and a few other things has entertained.
Mercier: A dream come true. Suddenly, I had a sponsorship agreement with Poker Stars, at the side of Chris Moneymaker and Raymer Chris. Since that time, I had the opportunity to many poker tournaments anywhere in the world to participate and it appeals to me very well. It is not a permanent contract, but the agreement is very good and I am fully satisfied with it. PokerStars expects a lot from me: advertising for the site, photo shoots and interviews. I know that some other players problems with these things that makes me but nothing. It is a great opportunity for me and also is PokerStars the best side ever. I am proud that PokerStars has chosen me to represent the page. At the beginning I only cash games played with smaller operations, and had problems finding an end. Now I have this pressure no more, I am also now much better at cash games. If I play 20 tables, I leave at least 18 at a profit. Not often I play cash games, I play mostly tournaments. But if I, like here in Amsterdam, an entire week is spent in one place, I would like to have fun and play a round of happy times cash game, especially when it comes to me in the hotel room is too boring.
Poker News: How is it that a young woman in a male-dominated poker scene plays High Stakes Poker?
Mercier: I have no idea. When I was 3 years old I began, poker against my uncle to play. Cards and dice games were for me always been a natural part of my normal life and has never been changed.
PN: 3 years ago had you decided her life completely changed. You have all your possessions sold, the workplace and were denounced to the professional poker player. They have no house and have all your possessions in a suitcase. Think sometimes about whether their decision was the right one?
Mercier: Absolutely – I played to survive only cash games with small operations and that was very hard. I was very much doubt whether my decision was correct. The lowest point I reached when I 1 weeks at a tournament in Turning Stone (New York) participated. I was in the midst of one bad luck, even for weeks everything went wrong, and I was in New York does not win a single hand. I was really in a deep crisis and an evening before the main event, I sat in my hotel room and my eyes ausgeheult. I prayed to God that he should send me a sign so that I can see, if I'm good enough to play poker professionally. The second hand I got pocket 10th The entire table limpte, only the big blind went all-in. I was sure that there is only one move was a bluff and I called him after a short reflection. "Let me see if I'm good enough" I said. Of course, my opponent had pocket Ace and I have lost the hand. I remained 2 chips and I thought my poker career would be ended. The tournament ended with the fact that I received the first prize with three other players informed. I had only two chips left!
PN: You asked for a sign?
Mercier: Yes, I am a believer. I think the universe is always around us and that there are always signs by which we should keep looking.
PN: Why are all poker players always busy, not to play poker, but instead any business to make?
Mercier: The big money is not worth playing, but in everything related to it. You can really a lot of money during poker games to earn, if you a bigger main event win, but the chances of this are obviously very low. That is why I sponsor contract with PokerStars so much, I have my own website, an online store, and I write columns. Thanks to all these things, I can quite safely play poker. Of course these things can also have a negative effect on your poker game effects. Some months ago I had a head full of some things around the poker, which means that every tournament that I played during this time was a waste of money. I have recovered my inner balance. It can also be exactly the reverse, if your head full with other things and have to decide everything now, and lie, and to simply play a round of poker, it can be very positive for your being. Every thing has two sides.
PN: Devilfish told me a few hours ago that women would not be able just to play poker well, like men, because women by nature are not aggressive enough. What do you think about it?
Mercier: Devilfish is right! I do not know how I should explain it. Perhaps it is the genes, women tend to play more conservatively. Perhaps it lacks the majority of women simply experience. I know in any case, that I really give my best, so I'm just as good as the male players who are my idols. This year I played at the WSOP Final Table, together with players like Marcel Luske and Phil Hellmuth. I was not nervous as everyone else and played a good game. The fact that I could entertain with them, and even a little "trash talk" had talked, it was a great feeling. That has nothing to do with the fact that I am a woman. I know that I have a lot to learn. Thank God I always get tips from men such as Devilfish, Luske and Gus Hanson (my mentor). They teach me free and I'm learning a lot from you. Is not that wonderful?
 
PN: Have you ever used your charm to another player to move up? Or did you ever feel that players recklessly dealt with them, because you are a woman?
Mercier: Maybe every now and then. To be honest, I should do more often. I've seen a woman play, which had huge breasts and that certainly had an impact on their game. Sometimes I wish I would have such a porch and could thus play! This has definite advantages. I envy players such as Tony G is a little table for your personality. One thing is clear, if I had large breasts and Tony's attitudes, I would have certainly more fun, but not now, maybe sometime in the future.
PN: What do you want to inform women in general?
Mercier: I receive many e-mails from young women. You want not only with me talking about poker, but often also about the decision, which I've recently taken everything behind me and to completely start over. I am proud that I voted for these women'm an inspiration. Perhaps it is my intention here, my message for everyone else. You say that you are not afraid of changes and should not be afraid to be the best of your life. What is the worst that can happen? Dying – and that is OK!
PN: So, you is not afraid of death?
Mercier: But surely they do, I am afraid of death! The death is everywhere and that is why I always try the best of every situation. Poker has really changed my life. I come from a small town with only 40,000 inhabitants. Over the past 3 years I have had more brilliant people know, as in previous years, Total 28. Interesting characters, fascinating personalities. Poker is a mirror image of everyday life. Times I played at a table where a player every time ausflippte if he has lost a hand, then he yelled "F *** this", "screw that" or something similar. Have you ever experienced that Phil Ivey to react? I think the way they play poker, says a lot about how they live their lives and where they stand in their development,
PN (following a telephone call, which Mercier quickly ended) Are you currently in love?
Mercier (looking surprised and giggles) I? No, why? Oh, that was on the phone my mother. Its percentage gain on my purchase and I've just told you that I am resigned to the tournament. Perhaps it would be better if you have anyone else would invest. I do not want you to lose money through me.
PN: Your mother buys profits from you?
Mercier: Only in small tournaments. I do not often play small tournaments, only in Paris and Amsterdam, because I really like there. Mostly I play in big tournaments, if so, can my mother is unfortunately not afford. I think my parents did not have much luck with me as a person. They had long been trying to get a child and then I was born. And then finally had, I decided at 12 years (for a while) auszureißen from home.
 
PN: You mentioned that Gus Hanson is your mentor. Rumors say that Gus and you have a relationship. I know that this question is very bold, but the readers want to know … like …
Mercier (following a slight pause and giggle) Gus Hanson is a very, very good friend and my mentor, but that is already everything.

How did they come to play poker?
We have at home ever played, all games, Skat, double, etc. Eventually, we have also played poker. In Las Vegas, I then for the first time the variations 7 Card Stud and Holdem learned.
What has them in the game so liked?
It is supposedly a gamble, but one can play with advantage. That has me as a child, even at like Monopoly, all thought it would be pure gambling, but they have won never.
Since 1995, professional poker her second leg, so the change in professional storage. If, from this time, their demands on themselves as well? If the pressure is imposed or the more they left?
I've always taken down. I am also somewhere perfectionist, so if I do something, then right. Since the television is switched on, the situation is somewhat different, because the public suddenly sees the cards. And who wants to stand as Depp?
As a pilot, they must assess risk well can help them at poker? And if yes how?
Absolutely. The risk assessment is always important. Emotionless decisions. His ego at home, and the aim is not to lose sight of.
They already have two at the WSOP bracelet win, it has this year not to participate again irritated?
Sure they do, but I had disease Caused a break, next year I'm back here. The others are catching up, because what I must do.
They are an excellent Omaha player, what they find so good at this poker variant?
Plenty of action, lots of surprises.
And what distinguishes Omaha, compared to the more spread variant Hold'em from?
There is more room for creativity and less standard situations. At first glance it looks as if one could in Omaha less bluff. But this is not the case.
When I read her biography I noticed that they are 3 p.m. to 12 p.m. years have lived in Canada. Why are they back to Germany? Was that a total conversion for them?
Incredibly difficult. That was 1966, and when we came to Germany was for me like a trip to the Middle Ages. In Canada, I am still at home. I wanted at that time certainly not gone, but my parents have overruled me. Meanwhile, I feel, but in Germany very well.
You are an advocate of good manners at the poker table, what bad experiences they have already done? What they are particularly annoying?
I can also ausrasten, it is not. What annoying me is people who have never worked, but the staff treated pejoratively. In America, unfortunately, very common. Some people have in their lives have never achieved anything and let your ego run free just because they dominate a game.
They are always other players tried very hard with tips and tricks to others, they have no fear that they are in their tactics, their play, their style could make transparent?
The train can not be stopped. Brunson and Sklansky have begun. Meanwhile, everyone writes something. I also benefit them, such as FullTilt Tips from the Pros.

Good poker you can! |

Once again it has been proven that it is not luck but rather skill at poker game decides the evidence is now a new independent study. There have been many surveys of this nature – interesting thing is that they always come to the same result. Success at poker comes from skill, not want, not try and certainly not to the happiness of which must be set.
The firm Cigital Inc., on behalf of Rational Entertainment Enterprises Limited (REEL) a study of certain properties of Texas Hold'em is to play. It is about the much discussed "happiness factor" in this poker variant. How much share of luck when the winners? Mathematical and statistical analysis to provide clarity. REEL It was important to this study by an independent company to undertake – so not the allegation of manipulation caused were the result of poker does not satisfy critics.
REEL Since the parent company of PokerStars.com, it was clear that the data collected directly from the Portal of Poker Poker Stars would be removed. In examining the data was important that it was not about the luck factor to measure, or the influence of luck at Texas Hold'em, but figures to generate clear, from a representative number of players / users, tables, games and variants their respective hands.
According to the study of Cigital, between 1 December 2008 and 2 January 2009 103 million hands played on PokerStars.com were analyzed.
Citigal then wanted a "counter check" of his collected data from PokerStars and asked players directly with the announcement of their statistics. It went to users who have their own history through databases show. The results were transmitted directly via e-mail, even the accuracy of the data had indicated in writing through a form to be confirmed.
Which tables were now measured in this study? Play money and heads-up tables were not evaluated. Even "micro-limit tables with blinds smaller than $ 1, – were not measured – because the financial value was so low that the game on game behavior that money tables would be equal. Only micro-tables from 10 ¢, were taken into account. In the game of Hold'em variants were all taken into account – Limit, No Limit or Pot Limit – on the table size from 6 to a maximum of 10 players is limited. Ultimately the data collected were sorted and analyzed statistically.
The result was striking, and shows that in 75.5% of cases did not come to the showdown, who players in only his / her pocket cards has seen. Nevertheless, a / s winner in the left, irrespective of whether these / r now had the best hand or not. That's when it finally poker.
Only 24.3% of game rounds, it is a showdown came. So here were the maps of the remaining players with open. These measured Showdown rounds won only 50% of the players who had the best hand. For the remaining 50% of the Showdown rounds won actually inferior leaf, because the / players / in with the best hand before the showdown had thrown away.
This study shows once again that when there is more to gain than the card value. In the majority of rounds is not a question of who has the better hand, but who plays better. The poker fans was of course before this study clearly, and this is not the first study of its kind as a whole, but such evaluations are important to the skill factor that political side repeatedly called into question, emphasized.

189 poker players came to this idea, some were not from the area. £ 1000 was the buy-in, not necessarily a "Körberlgeld." But in the pot were a good £ 57,175, because you can have confidence that if one believes, a better poker player able to be.
Ganesh Rao was just one of the brave who have dared. Last year he played with, but resigned from in ninth. 2008, he wanted to know again – and won! As the winner of last year, Rao from Sheffield, but currently lives in Newcastle.

Dutch officials prevented a vote on exclusive gambling license for the Dutch State |

An official of the Dutch government, has ensured that a vote in the Dutch Senate, where it was a question whether the state-owned Holland Casino a temporary exclusive license for online gambling will receive, had to be postponed. The official, Justice Minister Hirsch Ballin, had concerns that such measures by the Dutch Senate rejected them.
Holland Casino has in the past with the Cryptologic Network collaborated to create a Room Online to design, without, however, only once to say that debate has been opened, this new online room by a vote of the Dutch Senate, a monopoly position. Only a week earlier had the same Minister of Justice announced that plans would be banks and financial institutions which payment transactions with online gambling sites handle to prosecute. Moreover, the justice minister said that he intends to "blacklist" with fraudulent online sites to create a base on which is defined, which transactions in relation to online payment transactions are illegal.
However, there is a high risk that the plans are not the Dutch with the current decisions of the European Court of Justice in relation to online gambling in harmony. The EU is fighting against, that their own governments gambling revenue, thereby securing vendors in which they are from other countries access to its own domestic gambling market, prohibit or restrict. The impact of the current EU action against some other EU member countries, such as Sweden, Germany and France, were probably crucial for ensuring that the Dutch Senate of the proposed measures have not been too enthusiastic.

bwin signaled for the next few years, optimism |

After turbulent years in the gambling legislation in many countries and the resulting harsh cuts in the gambling industry reveals bwin nevertheless optimistic about the coming years.
At least since 2006, both the European and U.S. legislation on betting and gambling, a radical Contra track. The market changes are in this business for all companies felt. The bwin has led to slow its expansion. This new development strategy aims to corporate profits, which in turn result in re-growth can be invested.
In an interview with APA during the "responsible gaming" press conference in Brussels executive Norbert Teufelberger on the new approach of bwin: "We can no longer as aggressively invest in growth, but must also show gains. We have already in 2007 zart started, I would say. This is the path we are now trying to continue, so with growth but profitability. "
Looks exactly like the shows in detail:
In the previous year, had already withdrawn from the bwin online business in Turkey to be withdrawn, the local online gambling ban was promptly accepted. Because of this move the company hopes that now a good chance when applying for a license.
 
Also in terms of business overseas, so the U.S. is forecast Teufelsberg optimistic: "In America at present is very much happening, the government looks nice slow that it represents a huge mistake and the business now is totally underground."
 
The market in Asia and South America was bwin field offices in Buenos Aires and Beijing are already occupied. Nevertheless, according Teufelberger, the local potential is not exhausted, but is only beginning.
What the countries of the European Union, there are already positive developments. Some countries, like Germany, France or Sweden, have to be compared to the EU Trade Commission to justify their monopolies. The authorities are, however, sluggish and slow, so Teufelberger expected in the next two to three years no glaring changes. Only from 2010, he sees opportunities for a regulated online gambling market.
What concerns Austria bwin will continue to exert pressure, in our article bwin – News of the rumor mill, we have already reported that it is inadmissible bwin appears that private sports betting providers in Austria are allowed, but the gamble under a monopoly remains protected. Compared to the APA Teufelberger stressed: "We are the arguments to develop and print to them that you finally regulated. It must give a clear regulatory framework. "
First steps towards market liberalization plans France – according to the daily "Aujourd'hui", the online gambling market gradually opened and regulated. Even when a cross-platform online would join France. Poker News has already had these plans in his article Online Gambling-based study in Sweden reported a monopoly.
Despite justified optimism, it is probably still a few years before both the aspirations of bwin, as well as organizations like the Poker Players Alliance and the European "European Gaming & Betting Association" in the national access legislation.
