Full Tilt Poker will attempt to stamp its name on the Guinness Records and to do so; the site has announced that it will try to set a new record for the Largest Online Poker Tournament. Full Tilt’s Record Breaker tournament was unveiled as the finale to FIVE, a week of events and promotions created exclusively to celebrate the site’s 5^th anniversary. The tournament will take place on July 19th at 15:05ET, players can buy in for this event for only $5 or 1000 Full Tilt Points and compete for a share of a $250,000 guaranteed with $250,000 added prize pool. Players can also get entries to this event by playing the online satellites available on the site and starting for as little as 30 cents or 50 Full Tilt Points.

Team Full Tilt pros and WSOP bracelet winners Howard Lederer, Chris Ferguson and Phil Ivey have already confirmed they will take part in the event, offering players the chance to sit down at this historic tournament and play with some of the best high stakes and tournament pros in the world.

“By extending the limits of what is possible in online poker tournaments, Full Tilt Poker will allow players to compete for a big payout without the big buy-in,” said Team Full Tilt member Howard Lederer.

Putting together a poker tournament of this magnitude would be nearly impossible for any brick and mortar casino or poker room. The current record for the largest “live” poker tournament was set at the 2006 WSOP Main Event with 8,772 players. To break the current Guinness Record set by PokeStars.com in December, 2008, Full Tilt Poker will need to attract over 35.000 players. If successful, this tournament will establish Full Tilt Poker as World Record holder and cement its reputation as a world leader in online poker industry.

Full Tilt Poker has just opened an original info section containing all the information of the “Durrrr Challenge”, an amazing online heads up tournament highlighting some of the best big money online poker players competing against the online poker phenom Tom “durrrr” Dwan.

The innovative new website offers online poker players and fans the opportunity to monitor this amazing durrrr challenge and receive frequent challenge details. With this fresh “durrrr Challenge” site fans can track all the poker action and check out each poker hand played during the poker challenge, and check out lots of statistics, including number of hands played, session time, amount won, average won during each hand and much more.

Around six months ago, the 23 year old internet poker professional issued a heads-up challenge open to any player with the cash, time and capability to accept it. Any player entering the poker challenge has to bet $500,000 against durrrr’s $1.5 million. Tom’s challenge states that a minimum 50,000 poker hands need to be played simultaneously at 4 or more poker tables of no-limit Hold’em or pot-limit Omaha. At the end of the durrrr challenge, the player who has more money will secure the pool. Basically if you enter the Full Tilt Challenge and win $1 after the 50,000 hands, then you will take home Tom’s $1.5 Million, but if he triumphs by a dollar then he will win your $500,000.

Up to now, some poker pros have agreed to to play the “durrrr challenge”, including seven-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Ivey and David Benyamine, yet, only Patrick Antonius has consented to the durrrr challenge.

Certainly the most detested players at the poker table time and time again will continually be the bragger. You recognize the player I’m talking about. He’s the one that finds a chair at the Texas Hold’em Poker table and makes evident you’re aware that he wants all of your Texas Hold’em Poker chips; parting the Texas Hold’em table with the very same mind-set that he arrived with. Even if he gets killed, he has the thought that he is the finest Texas Hold’em Poker player on the globe.

Though the bulk of poker players would preferably escape from rivals of this sort, there are those who could say that shooting off their mouths might have its good points. So, the big doubt is: Is there honestly such a thing as a clever no-limit Texas Hold’em attention-seeker or a deceitful Texas Hold’em Poker attention-seeker? Showing-off about how accomplished you are in no limit Texas Hold’em poker is mainly just like stating: “I am the most skilled Texas Hold’em player in the world, keep in mind to play the best you can while you’re playing a Texas Hold’em tournament against me!” Most certainly that is the most terrible vibe to send out playing no-limit Texas Hold’em. What’s more, sharing too much information about your no limit Texas Hold’em poker playing method can be quite detrimental to your poker game. You undeniably do not want these guys to know how you play particular no limit Texas Hold’em poker hands.

In addition there are those poker players who may make use of bragging as a kind of Texas Hold’em trick, or bluff. Show-boating when you have a specific no-limit Texas Hold’em hand might fool your opponents and stump them about your no-limit Texas Hold’em playing method. Some people may think that this tactic a bit sneaky, but it is vital to bear in mind that there aren’t any rules against it in Texas Hold’em. Texas Hold’em Poker is all about making a dollar out of fifteen cents and taking advantage of it to the fullest.

This Sunday, November 30th the CBS network will premiere their investigation special “How Online Gamblers Unmasked Cheaters”. This special investigation show was filmed after a 4 month examination into the online Texas Hold’em poker industry and in particular a con concerning the online Texas Hold’em site Absolute Poker.

This Texas Hold’em poker page was probed after some of the Texas Hold’em poker players on the site stated that a player was illegally winning an incredible amount of money. Todd Witteles was a major witness in this study, according to him; he was losing huge amounts of cash to the very same Texas Hold’em poker player. Witteles says that this man was raising against awfully good poker hands, anyone would have believed he was simply handing over his money, but he was in fact winning poker chips.

Witteles was correct about his statements, later on it was discovered that a player who knew about the site was able to see any poker player’s hole cards. At first look, Absolute Poker stated that there were no issues with the page or the poker competitor. After numerous players came forward with accusations, the poker website investigated further into the situation and made the discovery.

In January of 2008, the KGC exposed what the Texas Hold’em players and the Texas Hold’em page had assumed all the time. The investigation proved that, there was an employee who had invaded the Texas Hold’em page’s security system and was competing dishonestly for approximately six weeks. The investigation proved that the Texas Hold’em room had not profited from the illicit behavior in any way, and was definitely not implicated.

These issues are further confirmation that there must be more control in regards to online poker pages. The US government needs to license and control the online gambling business to shield these upright consumers. These laws would also police the admission to these websites by children, which tends to be another issue nowadays.

Take a second to imagine if you were to have a chat with any typical person off the street about online poker, they in all probability wouldn’t consider online Texas Hold’em poker to be a game of strategy, planning, or close examination. More than likely when you talk about Texas Hold’em poker with them, they would almost certainly imagine some guys sitting around their kitchen table having conversations and drinking beer. They also might consider Texas Hold’em to be a game of luck rather than ability, more similar to a game of roulette rather than checkers, for instance.

So the big doubt is: “Can I become rich playing poker?”. You may have your doubts but, the answer to this question is a very strong “yes”. Several people not just make a profit by playing online Texas Hold’em poker, but also become millionaires by competing in Texas Hold’em tournaments. The main issue you have to remember about online Texas Hold’em is that even though you can play in a Las Vegas casino, close to blackjack tables and slot machines; in online Texas Hold’em you are not working against the house but against other poker competitors. So, in reality, you are betting your hard cash against other players in a contest of ability as opposed to a game of fate.

You might be thinking to yourself: “What about the luck factor?” Obviously in online Texas Hold’em poker, not a soul has any idea which hands will be dealt. That doesn’t signify that you can’t play with a dependable amount of pre-tournament knowledge. One thing that is important to remember in online poker is that numbers never lie. Statistics has a rather essential role in the game of poker. Not forgetting, that even if you become rather lucky frequently the stats always seem to bring you back down to earth.

Try to remember that Sin City casino table games like online poker where you are essentially playing vs. other real-life poker players CAN be won. One will find that the more you play the game of Texas Hold’em, you will realize that it is more of game of skill as opposed to just pure chance.
