Tips from professionals vol. 2
Finally, I've received an email from the "Poker Brat" Phil Hellmuth! He was short and gave 5 main tips for begginers. Here they are:
1. Don’t Play Every Hand
2. Be Patient
3. Be Aggressive at the Right Time
4. Betting
5. Pay Attention to Everything
6. Think Like Your Opponent
Good luck!

Starting freeroll challenge "From $0 to $10.000"
Yes, you heard me right, I'm one of those maniacs, who will try to won $10.000 whitout putting any money :)
I think You all probably already know the famous Chris Ferguson freeroll challenge experiment "from $0 to hero". The man in 2006 won $10.000 from $0. He started playing freerolls, won some cash and then participated in SnG tournaments, then in cash games and so on.
Last week was pretty successfful for me. I won my first freerolls at Pitbull Poker (1st and 2nd places = $12.5 total) They run freerolls every hour, so it's pretty easy to win.
Current results:
Now I'm moving to SnG tournaments.

There are more and more rumors flying around the net about one of the most succesful poker movie "Rounders" sequel "Rounders 2".
Matt Damon, which plays poker in a real life was caught by PokerListings.com at the red carpet for "Ante Up For Africa at the 2009 World Series of Poker" for a little chat.

We hope you'll have a great idea, Matt :) Let's hope we'll get some more info soon!

Sheiky broke Mikes Matusow glasses
Well, everything happen when you're steamy in poker :) I've just rewatched 3rd season of TV show "High Stakes Poker" and had noticed interesting thing.
The story starts when Mike Matusow raises kamikazi style with K/J offsuit against Sheikys two 8s. Sheiky folds and Mike shows his cards. Sheiky is steamy. And we all know, that Mike like to talk and laugh at his jokes. I think that wasn't a time for that. At 13:48s Sheiky quickly takes Mikes glasses and broke them. Watch the whole action bellow.
