It was in mid-April that reports emerged about former PartyGaming chief executive Mitch Garber was hired by Harrah’s Entertainment. While Harrah’s would not confirm or categorically deny the leaked information, it led to industry-wide speculation that the addition to the Harrah’s team was done in order to put a leader in place for a subsidiary of the company in the interactive arena.

About six months ago, I spoke about Badugi as part of an article on new games that had been added on PokerStars.  As time has gone on, I’ve found myself continuing to be drawn to the Badugi cash games, and they have been a nice source of profit for me during the past half-year.  Here are some of the things I’ve observed that keep me coming back to Badugi time and time again.

Beginning on May 28th and continuing through May 30th, 2009, Titan Poker is giving VIP players at almost every level the opportunity to win some significant cash. But not only cash, it may also be your last chance to attend this year’s World Series of Poker!

The time is fast approaching for one of the most popular fall events – The Aruba Classic.And just what makes poker players from around the world want to attend this fabulous event? Some of the biggest prize pools and hot poker action is one reason, but location – location – location is the main reason!

Let's face it – the poker boom is over. Long gone are the days where you could turn on the television and find some type of poker show on at any given time of the day. Yes, there is still plenty of poker to be found, but it's not nearly as prevalent as what we used to see back in the 2003-2006 poker heyday. Much of that is just due to the natural course of things.

There are many years of history involved in the World Series of Poker, and the 2009 events will commemorate its 40th anniversary. It has been and continues to be the leader in poker tournaments, as each year it grows and seems to accumulate more prestige, higher attendance, and greater notoriety.

It is no secret that poker players tend to be quite generous when it comes to various charitable opportunities and causes. Over the past few years, the number of poker tournament fundraisers has grown exponentially as well-known poker pros enjoy hosting and attending such events, and the money and awareness raised for charities tends to be quite a bit more than a drop in the bucket.

Every year about this time a mass exodus occurs. People from all over the world make their way to Las Vegas to spend their time huddled in with thousands of nervous, sweat stained men and women in one room. It doesn't sound all that appealing when it's put that way, but the World Series of Poker is THE one trip and tournament that any serious poker player makes in a given year.
