Poker is an incredibly popular game in Australia. Celebrities such as Shane Warne have catapulted poker into the mainstream, and people of all ages are enjoying playing poker online, and in live games at poker rooms.
It’s not surprising that Australian poker is so popular. Poker is a fun and social game which mixes both luck and skill. It’s easy to learn, and has lots of nuances. To truly master poker requires a quick mind, good mathematical skills, and good psychology.
Australian poker law means that companies cannot advertise online poker cash games in the country, but there are lots of free to play online poker sites. If you’d like to learn the game, why not check out one of the sites advertised by Shane Warne?
As well as playing online poker games, you can play in poker tourneys at one of the many Australian poker leagues. The Australian poker league covers most of the country, so there should be an active branch near you.
As well as playing poker on sites that are advertised in Australia, don’t forget that you can play poker on many international sites too. Often, the sites that have a .net arm in Australia also have .com versions for other countries. You are free to sign up for these if you wish. These sites will give you the chance to meet players from other parts of the world, and enjoy a wide range of poker games including Texas Holdem, Omaha Hi/lo, and other popular poker variations.
Whatever poker variant you play, make sure you remember that the most important thing is that you have fun. If you’re ever stressed or worried about your poker games, take a break. Only play with money that you have reserved as “recreational” – don’t chase losses, and don’t spend more than you can afford while you’re playing. If you win, that’s great! If you don’t, then at least you can say you had fun playing.
Poker on line, how to avoid the most frequent errors?
by Johnny poker on Jan.15, 2012, under Online poker tips and rules
Very often, the beginners spend the hours to reading various theories on the poker, studying their hands and to think of strategies to end up sitting down in front of their computer and throwing their tokens by the windows while playing in Texas hold’ EM on line. The reason for which they lose, most of the time, has nothing to do with the lack of chance or theoretical knowledge. They lose because they make and remake the same errors each time they play.
To gain with the poker, there is nothing magic. All that you will have to make, it is to understand the rules and to play in a judicious way, but for a reason which I am unaware of, much make of the errors to the poker on line.
The first error, it is not to be rather attentive. People read that the experienced pros play ten parts at the same time and they try to imitate them, saying themselves “more I play of parts and more I will gain”. But that goes only if you have experience. When you begin, you must on the contrary be super attentive for each hand.
The second error with the poker on line, it is too much to use the automatic function play – it rises partly from the first error. The fact of playing into auto–play often sends the such important ones. For example, you checkez immediately because you are weak or you misez automatically because your hand is strong. The fact of playing each hand and of making a pause of a few seconds from time to time makes it possible to mix the signals and to make so that it is more difficult to read you.
The error number three, it is to show your charts. You think can be that gives you the air strong and full with confidence, but in fact, you are just imprudent. With the poker, never share your information, unless that is absolutely necessary – people remember what you did in the past and use this knowledge with their advantage.
Lastly, error number four, do not speak badly. If somebody plays like a beginner, let do it. To make leave while running your table will help you of nothing, the only result, it is that people will hate you.

PokerStars European Poker Tour Deauville — Day 5
by Johnny poker on Jan.31, 2011, under Online poker news
The penultimate day of the PokerStars European Poker Tour Deauville saw 24 players take their seats at the Casino Barriere’s Salles des Ambassadeurs, elegantly poised along the coastline of Deauville in northern France.
Although it took over an hour to lose the first player, that set things off and in less than four levels the final table of eight was found.
Leading the way by close of play was Swede Martin Jacobson with 7,280,000 in chips. The PokerStars qualifier’s most recent success was his runner-up finish at EPT Vilamoura last September for €297,985 and at only 23 years of age, he has more than $1.3 million in live tournament winnings.
Jacobson battled with Alex Wice, the chip leader going into the day, for the top spot and although it looked like Wice was going to take it during the mid-late stages, Jacobson managed to scoop it in the final moments of the day when he made Laurent Polito the final-table bubble boy.
After Jacobson raised to 110,000, Polito three-bet to 310,000 from the big blind. The Swede called and the flop came J
8 7
. Polito checked, Jacobson bet 300,000, and Polito moved all in for 2.7 million. Jacobson insta-called flipping over pocket sevens for bottom set. Polito revealed pocket queens, which didn’t improve on the A turn and J
river. Polito walked away a day too soon with €50,000 for comfort.
Here is EPT Deauville’s final table:
Martin Jacobson (Sweden) 7,280,000
Alex Wice (Canada) 6,248,000
Kenny Hallaert (Belgium) 3,599,000
Julien Claudepierre (France) 3,244,000
Lucien Cohen (France) 3,085,000
Anthony Hnatow (France) 1,644,000
Ruslan Prydryk (Ukraine) 1,154,000
Kaspars Renga (Latvia) 470,000
And here is what they are playing for:
1. €880,000 ($1,202,795)
2. €560,000
3. €330,000
4. €260,000
5. €200,000
6. €155,000
7. €110,000
8. €66,800
Sixteen players went home with quashed dreams on day 5 as three tables became one. Emile Petit triggered the casualties when he popped Jacobson’s raise of 54,000 to 125,000 from the hijack. Big blind Fabrice Soulier folded and Jacobson shoved all in. Petit instantly called and flipped over pocket kings but Jacobson revealed pocket aces. An ace came on the flop and Jacobson sparked his rise to the top with the downfall of Petit.
Things then picked up speed as player after player hit the rail. Among them was Irishman Thomas Finneran whose A-J could not beat the Q-J of Philip Jacobson when a queen came on the flop and held.
The event also lost its one remaining American, William Johnson. He was crippled by Martin Jacobson after the two PokerStars qualifiers tangled in a pot which saw Johnson river two pair but lose out to Jacobson who rivered a straight. He was soon finished off by Kenny Hallaert and his pocket sevens, who called Johnson’s all in with A Q. A seven came on the flop to put Johnson on the other side of the rail.
Familiar names Fabrice Soulier and German PokerStars qualifier Fabian Holling were also crossed off the final-table list throughout the day.
Here is the full list of results from day 5:
9. Laurent Polito (France) €50,000
10. Philip Jacobsen (Denmark) €50,000
11. Franck Pepe (France) €37,500
12. Kevin Lambert (Switzerland) €37,500
13. William Johnson (United States) €30,000

David Gorr Wins Aussie Millions 2011 Poker Tournament
by Johnny poker on Jan.31, 2011, under Online poker news
With numerous big name stars in the field, it came down to local player and grandfather from Melbourne, David Gorr to take the massive prize of Aus $2,000,000. At 68 years of age, this was his first major tournament win and with this being the world’s second largest poker tournament it’s not a bad way to break your duck.
The Aussie Millions is a fantastic tournament played at the Crown Casino in Sydney with an Aus $2million first prize that does more than enough to attract the big names. Players such as Phil Ivey, Patrik Antonius, Chris ‘Jesus’ Ferguson and Erick Lindgren were present this time around and while they put up a decent effort, it was left to a local to take down first place.
After 5 days of play (there were, however 3 first days), 721 players had finally dwindled their way down to just 1 remaining winner and while many would have predicted a star name, an up-and-coming player or a solid online pro as the eventual victor, it was David Gorr, a 68 year old Australian who finally scored his first major tournament win.
With a few cashes to his name in previous Aussie Millions events and plenty more on local tours around Australia, Gorr managed to improve his poker earnings to a ridiculous level with the Aus $2million more than eclipsing the near $200,000 he has previously won.
When the final table was set, it was a relatively star-studded affair with Patrik Anotnius representing the Full Tilt sponsored superstars, while both Chris Moorman and James Keys were representing the young British online prodigy category.
Gorr, however had other plans and took down many of the players at the table; whether they underestimated him we will never know but Gorr himself knew that while he played well, he was also the beneficiary of some decent cards and a good handful of luck too.
Antonius was the first casualty of the 8 man final table when Gorr knocked him out after flopping two pairs when he limped in with pocket Kings looking to trap. That must have been a massive boost to Gorr’s confidence as he then scythed his way through many of his opponents ensuring that Moorman, Dorfman, Ryan and Rossiter were all bumped to the rail.
At heads up play, Gorr faced young Englishman James Key who came in at a near 6 to 1 disadvantage in chips but managed to take down some serious pots and, at one point, find himself in a 12 to 1 advantage over the Australian.
It was to be Gorr’s day though and after annihilating the final table it was probably only right that he finished the job off by taking the win. It wasn’t the quickest of heads-up affairs with 157 hands finally being played before the winner was announced but the organisers did add a 2nd dealer in order to speed things up.
The final hand saw Gorr win the tournament with two pair after his Kc-4c outstayed Keys’ 7c-3c and he became the third Australian winner in a row of the Aussie Millions Main Event after Tyron Krost in 2010 and Stewart Scott in 2009.
Amazingly during all of this poker, Gorr even managed to complete a half days work at his day job, humbly admitting he has never missed a full day of work in his life.
Fair play to him and we’re sure he’ll enjoy his winnings with his family. Can 2012 live up to this and produce yet another home grown winner though?
Strip Poker Tourney Exhibits How Gambling Can Be Charitable
by Johnny poker on Jan.30, 2011, under Online poker news
The Taking It Off For Charity poker tournament was held in Florida Friday evening, and the event was a big success. The Texas Hold’em tournament was held at The Vault Nightclub, and dozens of participants showed up in support of the St. Francis House and Goodwill Industries International.
The rules to the tournament were simple, each player that was below the average chip count at each blind, had to take off a piece of clothing and donate it to the cause. The event did not get too racy, with the rules permitting that players only be allowed to strip down to a bathing suit.
Players had an option to play the tournament for free, or to pay a $15 entry fee. The entry fee gave the players access to wings, priority seating, beer, a t-shirt, and a raffle ticket. The raffle ticket was for a chance to win a scooter. During the event, over 500 pounds of clothing was collected and donated.
Over the past few years, poker has become a driving force for charity events. Millions of dollars have been raised across the US from tournaments that are held in casinos and bars. Each tournament has a dedicated cause, and as long as the cards are in the air, players are showing up to pledge their support.
Casinos have held major fundraisers in their poker rooms, and some states where charity gambling is illegal have lawmakers trying to change the laws. Poker has become one of the most popular sports in the world over the past decade.
“For anyone looking to raise money for a good cause, holding a casino night or poker tournament is a must,” said Gaming Analyst Steve Schwartz. “Over the years, gamblers have shown that they can have as big a heart as anybody, and the millions raised from these events is further proof of that fact.”
