Some online poker sites offer “rakebacks” to their players to reward them as good customers. What is a rakeback? Basically, it a payment made to player that is based on the rake that player has paid the site. The rakeback is calculated as a percentage of the all the raked hands the player has participated in.

Getting a rakeback is a form of discounting for the player/customer. For high volume players, the amount they receive in rakebacks can really add up. It is especially sweet when you are running good and winning big pots, since the rakeback makes those pots even bigger. A rakeback can even turn a break-even month into a slightly profitable experience, and lessen the pain a bit when you’ve been losing.

Rakebacks are generally available through web site affiliates - poker rooms that partner to bring in more customers. The affiliate site receives a portion of the rake that acquires the newly referred customer as compensation for delivering new business. The affiliate then passes along the rakeback (or a portion of it) to the player. Some poker rooms offer direct rakebacks to their players too with no affiliate involved.

If you are considering signing up for rakeback offer at a site, consider these factors:

* The site’s reputation - how long has it been in business? Check out some the online blogs about rakebacks to get feedback from actual users.

* What is the percentage of the rakeback? Obviously, bigger is better.

* Method and frequency of payment - is it an easy process and how quickly do you get paid –daily, weekly, or monthly? If you have a preference, then look for that deal.

* How is rakeback calculated? Two methods are typically used - dealt hands or contribution amounts. Most players prefer the dealt method, but for those loose players who feed lots of pots, the contribution method is preferable.

* Which games are eligible for rakebacks - don’t sign up to play in games you don’t know just because there is a rakeback. Look for games you can win.

Everyone knows that when playing online poker from early position, you traditionally need a higher value of cards to come into a pot. In order to open from early on the value of your hand has to be reasonably matched against all the other poker players who have yet to act behind you. Opening for a raise from these spots with your big hands is important, in that just limping might allow the blinds to see a flop for very cheaply and draw you out.

Raising too hard, though, can be just as much of a mistake as not raising at all. A standard raise of 3 to 4 times the big blind is standard and smart practice. Raising more with hands like JJ or 10 10 might cause hands that you dominate, such as 8 8 or pockets fives, to fold, while hands that dominate you, such as KK or AA, will most often reraise you, or trap you into thinking your hand is best.

Thus, sticking to the traditional standard opening raise is better than pushing too hard in fear you won’t be able to protect your hand. You’d like action, but you don’t want to be forced to a decision preflop in a spot where you could have proceeded with more temerity for better results. Remember this when you play online poker.

Calling stations are online poker players who refuse to fold-they’ll call anything, they rarely raise, and they don’t ever give up their hands. They are predicable, loose, and they tend to pay me the most money. They’re my favorite online poker players to go up against, because I can always count on them paying off whenever I have a winning hand. I used to hate playing against poker calling stations because I could never bluff them, but I was coming at them from the wrong end of the spectrum. Calling stations will cost you money if you don’t have a winning hand, but if you do, they’re a gold mine. The key to beating a calling station is patience. You can’t bluff them because they absolutely won’t fold, but you can take them to the cleaners every time you get a good hand. If you wait until you make a great hand or the nuts, you can raise these guys with impunity. You know they won’t re-raise against you, and you know that you can raise whatever you want without worrying about scaring them off. The only thing that you need to worry about when you find a calling station is that someone else will bury them before you get the chance to.

Khoom Fay are traditional Thai lanterns, made from cut tissue paper with a bamboo skeleton. A flaming cell tied to the lantern offers hot airThey ascend gracefully, and are an dramatic sight, peculiarly when discharged at constant intervals to form a chain of lights rise into the sky. They are equally prestigious by daylight or by night. For Day releases I feel that the coloured lanterns are to a greater extent striking and the night becomes a bright white glowing Thai Lantern but that is just my own individual view.Carefully take out the Thai Lantern, without tearing the delicate paper. Ensure the lantern is fully extended, and not wrinkled or hanging sideways. This is greatest complete by taking the top of the lantern, raising it a few feet softly, then crisply dropping it. Air pressure will blow up the unit.Have a supporter light the wick whilst you declare the lantern upright. After a few seconds the lantern will feel lighter, then rise gradually. Just point it and let it go by itself, do not attempt to throw it up into the air. Then stand back and relish.These lanterns are thought for use by experienced pyrotechnic operators. Don mitts and fire-proof clothing, and have on standby a bucket of H2O.

Greg Raymer is mostly known for winning the main event of the 2004 World Series of Poker while wearing his now trademark eyeglasses that feature reflective lizard eyes. Before winning the WSOP, Raymer was a practicing attorney, who subsequently stopped practicing to play online poker full time. Despite being an unknown before the win, Raymer is considered a quality poker online player, unlike many of the no-name poker players who have won the event in recent years.

Raymer is commonly known by the nickname ‘Fossilman,’ as early in his career he would sell small, strange fossils to poker players that they could then use as chip protectors. The name, for better or for worse, thereafter stuck.

Raymer’s general process with the infamous eyeglasses is that he leaves them off when not in a hand, and then when electing to enter a pot, he puts them on. The glasses, while considered at this point, to many, rather cheesy, serve both to block his eyes and perhaps, in theory, throw his opponents off by looking strange.

Since the major win, Raymer has continued to show and perform well in other national poker events, and also spends some time teaching poker camps to help improve other players’ games.

Old time poker pro Huck Seed outdueled and outlasted an elite field of 63 of poker’s best at the casino online to win the 2009 National Heads-Up Poker Championship at the Caesars Palace Poker Tournament Room in Las Vegas. Seed defeated the incredibly attractive Vanessa Rousso in the tournament’s best-of-three final poker online table to claim the championship from a group that boasted more than 100 World Series bracelets and take home the $500,000 first-place prize

“This has always been one of my favorite tournaments of the year,” said Seed in a statement, who has participated and finished in the money in every Heads-Up event. “I’ve played well in the past, but things especially went my way this weekend and I was able to make a run all the way to the top.”

Seed reached the final table by defeating Jonathan Little, Gus Hansen, Glen Chorny David Oppenheim and Sam Farha, while Rousso ended up in the last pairing by taking down poker heavyweights Doyle Brunson, Phil Ivey, Paul Wasicka, Daniel Negreanu and Bertrand Grospellier along the way(quite an impressive list victims). Seed took the first two matches of the best-of-three final, as his off-suit king/seven in the final hand was enough to claim the title.

With her runner-up finish, Rousso completed the best run for a woman competitor in a Heads-Up tournament. Shannon Elizabeth reached the semi-finals in 2007. Both are incredibly hot. The single-elimination competition began Friday morning, March 6 and continued through Sunday, March 8, when a best of three championship match determined the winner.

Mike McDonald, known in poker online as Timex, won last year’s EPT Dortmund, Germany. He must be doing something right in that city, because he is currently among the final 16 players in the 2009 event. He is also among the chip leaders.

He is being very aggressive and re-stealing a lot of opening bets. While the players are on break, playing other casino games they’ve shown last year’s final table. Timex caught AA and KK at the final table to take out two opponents. The play was pretty straightforward with exception, of a few strange blowups. A player made a large raise and the chip leader had pocket 3’s. He thought the player went all-in and elected to call the all-in. As he almost turned over his cards, he was stopped and told that he had just called a bet. The flop came out all garbage cards with 10 high. The big stack with 33 went all-in after seeing this flop, presumably putting his opponent on big cards like AK or AQ, and was called. His opponent had AA and doubled up. This same player with 33

Luca Pagano is in 3rd, marking his 10th cash in the EPT. Cengizcan Ulusu began the 2 table segment as the chip leader. He decided to try and play a large hand, AQ, very sneaky and limped in on the button. He was heads up with William Thorson and the flop came out Q 8 x, and Ulusu bet out and Thorson went all in. An 8 came on the river to sure up Thorson’s double up and usurpation of the chip lead. Ulusu’s play of this hand was rather poor. If he wanted to play the AQ small preflop, he should have tried to play it smaller after the flop. He has no information whatsoever of Thorson’s hand and has to blind guess that top, top is good. Also, the re-raise all-in from a player like Thorson should not be taken lightly. Ulusu really made a big mistake calling this bet and losing half his stack.

Concurrently, Timex gained the chip lead on the other, non featured online poker table.

Once again, EPT’s live coverage streaming online is a really fun way to watch good poker. Sometimes, if the players are bad it is a bit boring, because you do not get to see the hole cards. McDonald enough is worthwhile. With the 2007 and 2008 EPT Dortmund champs both still in the final 2 tables, this is certainly a worthy viewing. Tomorrow, Saturday, the final table will stream.

A wheel in pokern is a hand consisting of A 2 3 4 5, which in Texas Hold em or Omaha makes a straight. It is called a wheel because it is the lowest possible straight you can make, using the ace as a low card. A wheel is often a more disguisable hand than other straights since it is harder to make.

In Razz poker, the wheel is the nuts, or best hand you can make, as it is the lowest possible five card hand. If you have this hand, there is literally no other Razz hand that can beat you. In Razz, straights do not count against you.

A ‘wrap’ is a name for hand in Omaha consisting of cards that make an open ended straight draw using two board cards and three or four cards from a player’s hand. In this way, if the player hits any of his hole cards on the board, he will then make a straight. For instance, a hand consisting of 6 7 9 10 with a board of 7 8 A can hit a 5 6 7 10 or J to make his straight. Wrap draws in Omaha poker are often big hands to push with as they have equal or greater outs to ‘made’ hands.
