Is the WSOP slowly dying?

The World Series of Poker started the poker madness we live on today. It was the fire that started the online and offline thrill and excitement of the poker world, and showed us that is was possible to become a millionaire by performing another sport. Long time has passed when Chris Moneymaker won $2.5 million out of pretty much thin air, and although the WSOP Main Event still is one of the most attractive tournaments in the planet; we wonder if it’s losing its shine…

The magic recipe that used to attract so many is the same one that has eclipsed the very own characteristic that made the WSOP so great: an elite tournament with the best players of the world that declared the ultimate player champion, and the chance of anyone on becoming such champion. This has made many serious players concentrate on other tournaments such as the “poker tour” series from PokerStars and the WPT. And numbers do not lie either:

2007

Although it is true the change in the laws affected heavily the amount of players, the format chances have also affected the attractiveness of the event. For instance, the final table been played on November has had a lot of bad comments on most players. Now the Tournament of Champions might be a strategy the organizers are using to try to change the image of “freeroll nesting” the event has become. Let’s hope in the future the event gets more innovative alternatives or we will see the so loved WSOP Main Event perish and become just another tournament out there.

The Art of Bluffing

It is impossible not to bluff at least once during your poker life. This is one of the hardest things to do while playing poker, but once you know how to do it you will find the greatness of bluffing. This is a fundamental strategy, but very hard to accomplish.

There are many factors you need to keep in mind before even considering a bluffing strategy. Position is one of the key factors you need to succeed while bluffing during a poker game. You should consider bluffing if you are close to the dealer’s button or the last to act, this is because you already saw what your opponent’s actions and you are able to read if they have a great hand or a bad hand. When you bluff, you automatically open aggression, and if you are not ready for it then you shouldn’t go for it.

If you are playing Texas Hold’em and you want to use your bluffing strategy remember that you are not threatening anyone if you don’t go all-in during your bluff. The reason for this is very simple, if you have a smaller stack or even a big stack and you don’t put your opponent all-in, you probably don’t have such a good hand, giving your opponent the chance to go for it and since you are bluffing you are probably going to loose. So once you decide to go all in remember that you are being aggressive.

If your opponent got your bluffing strategy and now you are in a very uncomfortable situation because now everyone knows that you don’t have a good hand, then you should keep in mind that this happens to everyone and it will not be the first or the last time that will happen to you or anyone else. If your opponents call your bet the best strategy is to check the next hand hoping that your opponent doesn’t raise your bet. If your opponent does that, then fold; you already know that you don’t have the winning hand so there’s no reason for you to keep loosing money.

Always remember to analyze the board and which possible hand your opponent might have; this is the first step to develop a great bluffing strategy. If you bluff without figuring your opponent out, it is possible that you will end up failing. If by any chance you got to the river with just one opponent left, and when you both show your cards you won after all, remember that there are many fish out there and they might thought that they had a better hand that yours even when you are bluffing. This kind of things happen, so keep on practicing your bluff strategy and you will get better and better with time; eventually you will find yourself winning many pots by following these simple rules.

2010 Aruba Poker Classic by UB.com Cancelled

UB.com decided to cancel their Aruba Poker Classic this year. They want to get more involved in other online and live poker events. This was a very crowded event that was offered for many years. In 2002, the first year this tournament was held, Juha Helppi was the winner of the event. Winners of other years include, Erick Lindgren, Eric Brenes, Freddy Deeb, Travis Rice, Matt Brady and last year’s winner Brandon Hall who defeated 475 players and took $753,000 first place prize.

Ultimate Bet looks forward to expand their online and live tournaments this year, and this is the main reason behind their decision of cancelling the Aruba Poker Classic. They will invest in new online tournaments that will include a monthly guaranteed tournament for $500,000 and a weekly guaranteed tournament for $200,000 Guaranteed. They expect to bring with this more than 1,000 players.

A press release was given on Wednesday from Tokwiro COO Paul Leggett and he commented, "It is with great regret that we are announcing that the Aruba event will not run this year, but 2010 is going to be an exciting year for UB and its players. Over the last year, we've been redefining the UB brand in every way. We love the Aruba Poker Classic event, but we think we can do a lot more for our players by investing in new events and rewards."

Beside all this, UB.com will continue to send players to the World Poker Tour (WPT) and to the World Series of Poker (WSOP), plus many other great prizes that will benefit loyal players.
