With all the poker news being (understandably) focused on the pullouts from the US, it can be easy to overlook the fact that there are some great tournament promotions going on right at this moment. This post is an update / reminder for a few multi-table tournaments that might be of interest.

There are many areas of life in which you can feel like you are running around like crazy, working long hours – yet the results are not (quite yet!) visible to others. Well, that is my exact feeling at the moment! The good news is that I’ll be releasing tons of new material over the next few days.

Well, I’m starting to tune back in after my break, and my writing fingers have been busy. Several new articles already live covering the new Multi-Entry Tournaments, Fifty-50 SNGs and more.

Another 'View From The Tables' article as promised yesterday. This one is from Oliver from Germany. The article covers some important areas for many players who only play poker a few times a week, and want to maximize their profits and improve their games. I really enjoyed this article which puts a fresh perspective on some of the constraints faced every day in a bid to balance life and poker. I made only a very small number of edits, which is a credit to Oliver - since English is his second language. If you would like to contribute an article then let me know!

Ah, the best laid plans of mice and men… When I started my month of island-hopping I was planning to average 2 hours each day keeping the sites up to date. Sitting now on the amazing Koh Phi Phi on Thailand's Andaman sea, I’m going to have to admit this has been more challenging than I expected!

Sending out the monthly newsletter a little early today, for two great reasons!

I have favorite poker sites, you probably do too… I go to thinking what proportion of our decisions on where we play is from ‘objective analysis’ and what proportion due to familiarity, loyalty to our first site or even peer pressure. Not going to recommend any specific room in this post – just wanted to see if I can make one or two readers have a think about it.

I read a lot of economics and global finance type blogs (when not updating the network of poker sites!). One phrase which seems to come up again and again is ‘Kicking The Can Down The Road’, referring to putting off the really difficult decisions to another day / month / year. It struck me that this phrase can also apply to us online poker fans, not in terms of avoiding problems… more in avoiding those important steps required to take your game to the next level. After all its easier just to play, right? It is simple to blame your lack of progress on a few suckouts at critical times than it is to analyze your own game for leaks… it is easier to sigh and fire up another set of SNGs than it is to make sure you did not miss any +ev ICM situations.
