Managed to squeeze in a few 90 player K/O SNGs over at Full Tilt last night, one final table so can not complain. Came across an amusing character in one game from Belgium... his complaint was funny, though - as you will see - this is not the first time someone with this particular mis-understanding of poker has got upset...

Have been enjoying some Rush PLO recently, just 2 tables and a great way to relax + clear the $50 bonus Tilt offered recently! There are a couple of situations which have been confusing me a little though...here is the first:

Catching up with a few PokerXFactor videos last night, have been a member there since 2006... though not an active one as such. Anyway, decided to have a look at DoubleDave22's UBOC main event win. Guitar playing aside I do enjoy DD's videos and a couple of interesting points came up...

Hand reading can be taken to many levels, some of the best cash game players can polarize your range, assign each hand a probability and squeeze out a little value on the river regardless of your actual holding! At a more basic level it is often possible to tell a draw from a made hand, even at the lower levels.

Quite a title today, but a straight forward enough point to make... This has come from a debate on various poker forums and blogs (including some big name ones!) on the creep in the use of the terms "Bumhunting" and "Bumhunter" as an insult concerning online poker players....

Just clicked the 'send' for this months newsletter - I know, I know, have been slack in sending the news every month... but hey, when you have this many sites to run it is easy to overlook things! Will include the newsletter in this post to give readers who are not yet subscribed a chance to see the kind of thing we send (notice the only links are back to SNG Planet - no spamming!)... check out the 'Comedy Of Errors' sign-up boxes on the homepage and SNG Main page to join the 10,000 (and growing!) people already subscribing....

It has been a long road (well, to be honest it is not quite over yet!), however we are now pleased to announce the German version of SNG Planet is up and running... at least in draft format! You can see this here SNG Planet German! ... all 100 pages! We would still like to ask for a little help with this from any native readers out there... if you would be so kind... now, let me explain what happened....

Interesting situation came up the other night, while playing a bunch of 90 Player Knockouts on Full Tilt. Being time-limited (as ever!) I decided to start 8 at once at various buy-in levels, primarily to check out the difference in play between them.
