Another Star studded live poker event in the UK, this time it was the PKR Heads Up Grand Slam creating headlines in the weeks Poker News

A new name emerged from the pack to take down the PKR Headsup Grand Slam. Vladimir Geshkenbein of Russia was one of the lesser known names in this event, but no stranger to high stakes after winning the High Rollers event at the APPT in Macau earlier this year.

Geshkenbein bested a field that included Tony G, the Devilfish, Tom Dwan, Luke Schwartz, Annette Obrestad, Peter Eastgate, JC Tran and Ian Frazer to win the event, beating TV poker veteran Juha Helppi in the final. The aggressive Russian pummelled Helppi into submission in their match to win the $120,000 first prize. He also beat Alex Keating, Brahim Hajji, David Steicke and James Sudworth on his way to the final.

And whilst other Poker Rooms are going through some tough times with negetive press, PKR Poker could not be having a better year.

Poker Online as a great hobby. Some tips.

Poker Online can be a really pleasant hobby, but like all things in life, you should probably play in moderation. Whatever your game: Omaha, Texas Hold’em, No Limit, Pot Limit or poker tournaments you can have a lot of fun, but you can also get burned if you're not careful. Here are some tips on how to have fun and still play poker online responsibly.

A lot of poker online sites will let you play for free, letting you have a little fun you get the feel of the game without losing your cash. You should advantage of this and try them all out to see what games appeal to you. It is very important as only then the player will succeed. If you would be choosing between all casino games, you might know that Black jack, roulette, slots, poker, texas hold 'em, and craps are some of the more popular ones.


Take your time and visit as many sites as you can to compare the deals they offer. Use Google to type “poker rakeback” and you’ll be redirected to all the best online poker sites over there, which offer at least 27% from the rake you make by playing poker. In other words you are paid for playing games. Some of the poker sites offer better bonuses and others are a little more user friendly. I'm not here to endorse any particular site but their are a lot of online poker reviews, so have a look and decide which one appeals to you.
These usually rank consistently well: FullTiltPokerrakeback.co.uk, AbsolutePokerrakeback.co.uk ,


Making online casino gambling, or online poker an pleasant activity is managing your time and money. You can spend way too much of both if you let it take control over you. It is a must to set specific limits on both and stick to them. Let’s say, 3 hours per week maximum, and 20-50$ per week. This may vary depending on your own plan and financial state, but the tip is, don’t spend more than you can manage to pay on online poker.

Betfair Poker WSOP Europe 09 Event

Cake Poker change Full Ring Table seats

One small change to the Cake Poker full ring tables includes making them 9 seats instead of 10. This small change means that Cake Poker’s full ring tables now conform with what has become industry standard.
Changing the number of seats at Cake Poker is the first major change under new poker room manager Lee Jones. Lee Jones was previously a manager of Poker Stars and helped contribute to the massive growth of the site, so you expect something similar to happen at Cake Poker too in the coming future!
The biggest reason for this change is probably to do with the generation of rakeback. Cake Poker uses a dealt rakeback method, meaning that when $1 was raked from a pot at a ten seat table, each player would then receive 10 cents. However when there are only 9 seats at a table the rakeback would be closer to 11 cents for each player. The extra money generated will benefit both Cake Poker and their network partners and affiliates.
If you want to be part of the action at Cake Poker, why not sign up today? Players who sign up through cakerakeback.com not only get a $500 deposit bonus but a massive 33% rakeback too!

InterPoker's MP Tournament!

Recently, InterPoker have made a slightly cheeky promotion. British MPs have been getting a lot of bad press recently over the expenses scandal and many of them were asked to repay any of the taxpayers money they were known to have spent. InterPoker hit back at shamed MPs by inviting them to play online poker in order to win back the money by entering into a heads-up poker tournament.
InterPoker have also made an exclusive offer to resigned Commons Speaker, Michael Martin. He claimed around £1,400 to use a chauffeur driven car in order to travel around his constituency and for trips to Celtic Park to his Celtic Football Club play. InterPoker have offered Michael, not surprisingly, a Celtic season ticket along with chauffeur driven car to each game if he accepts their offer to play in the poker tournament.
Some of the other MPs invited to play include Peter Viggers who spent £1,645 on a duck island, Alan Duncan who spent £5000 on gardening, and Michael Gove who spend £7000 on furniture.
A spokesperson from InterPoker said “We’re giving them the chance to win back their dignity as well as the cash if they manage to beat the public in a fair fight.”

RakeBack v’s No Deposit Bonus – What’s the best deal for online poker players?

They key to understanding what is the best deal for an online poker player is really to understand how the affiliate model works. Online Poker operators either pay their affiliate a reward for introducing a player with a CPA payment or a revenue share.

A CPA or Cost per Acquisition means the operator pays a one off fee to the affiliate per real money player. A revenue share deal means the operator pays the affiliate a percentage of the revenue the operator earns from each player. Poker room operators make their revenue from the rake players pay on real money games and tournament fees.

Affiliates who have CPA deals in place pay back some sort of one off deposit bonus to their player for each room they sign up to.

Affiliates who offer rakeback are paying player a share in the revenues share they receive from the poker operators.

So if you are an online poker player who pays a lot of rake it is worth do a quick calculation of what the value of the bonus you receive and the potential lifetime earnings you would get through a rakeback deal.

Understanding the Dealt Method of calculating rake for rakeback poker

Poker rooms have to charge a per-pot fee or tournament fee because the house is not involved in any actual hands. Poker players compete against each other, so the house's profits are secured by taking a percentage of each pot.

In online poker rooms, the rake won't be higher than five percent, and this percentage fee will not exceed a few dollars, generally $5 being the max. If you sign up for a rakeback deal, you can get a return on your amount of rake that you generate each month. Different poker rooms have different ways of calculating your net rake. One calculation method is the dealt method used by Betfair Rakeback.

In the dealt rakeback method, every player is considered to share the rake equally. If you are playing at a ten-handed table, you are credited with ten percent of whatever the total rake for that pot ends up being. If $4 is raked, you are credited with 40 cents of rake.

Strong players tend to prefer the dealt method because it does not penalize players who don’t play many pots. Many stronger players tend to be tight before the flop and prefer to play premium hands before getting involved, especially in fixed-limit games. If the site only credited rake to players who were involved in the pot, those who play many pots would get more rake credit and hence, more rakeback.

A rakeback program puts some of that rake money back into your online account. To get rakeback, simply sign-up with a poker room through a rakeback poker site.
