HKIE-CAI

Pass, pass away? For the umpteenth time, a bill was presented on Thursday 17 March to Congress to regulate online poker in the USA. Co-written by John Campbell (Republican) and Barney Frank (Democrat), the text “bi-partisan” approaches more and more of the “Italian model” applied in France by the ARJEL.
Online poker legal in the U.S. bogged down

Four years after the creation of the Act UIGEA (Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act) , the law restricting the movement of money (deposits and withdrawals) on the websites of online games which came into effect in June 2010 despite its obvious failure and Clearly, there is always the same (much more actually) of Americans who engage in gambling on the internet.

Among the many attempts to pass a federal law (thus applicable in every U.S.) laws and ‘local’ following their progress or being supported lobbying in several states (Nevada, Iowa, Florida, California. ..), the situation is more blurred than ever about the benefits and disadvantages of each form.
The UIGEA, poor response to a false problem

Direct consequence, the abundance of proposals and their repeated failures make every attempt less and less credible including at players who find that the regulation of their favorite game is not necessarily the magic solution to a problem that is not not necessarily.

The UIGEA has good aim among others to prevent “money laundering” and ensure “protection of players,” they are well aware that the benefits of “illegality” are largely in their favor . No additional taxation, freedom to play on any site, cashing quick gains, the U.S. post-UIGEA would be almost a paradise of poker online.

This is especially true when one compares their situation to that of citizens of countries “regulated” like France or Italy. Yet it is a model “French” or “Italian” that now offers the most fervent defenders of the regulation of online poker in the U.S. that are John Campbell and Barney Frank.
Towards ARJEL in America?

Among the key points of the proposal of the Act entitled “Internet Gambling Regulation, Consumer Protection and Enforcement Act” (Act regulating games are online, consumer protection and enforcement) found including most of the measures seats controlled by the French law by the ARJEL:
distribution of licenses to operators by a federal agency
creating a list of operators ‘illegal’
implementation of preventive measures “protection of minors”
age verification and identity from public authorities
establishment of limits of deposits, withdrawals and losses to “prevent the addictive behavior”
establishment of surveillance against fraud, abuse and cheating
control against “money laundering” through the websites of online games
creation process of struggle against the “tax avoidance”
The pro-regulation of online poker worried

The least we can say is that after the cold shower of the last failure time ago just three months, the reactions of experts are far from enthusiastic. Advocates of this new bill seems especially cornered by the initiatives of individual states, tired of inaction and blocking federal authorities.

Nelson Rose, professor of law in California and an expert on legal issues on-line games, and reflects the general doubt by stating that the site DesMoinesRegister initiatives states like Iowa is a “realistic response” to block federal level possible legislation which will see him not as the day “before 2014″.

A sense of urgency has now seized the defenders of a unified federal regulation, given the multiplication of laws “local” which may make void ipso facto. And, incidentally, depriving the country of several million dollars, “states the country recognize the importance of controlling the game and pass their own laws to collect millions in taxes on income” is concerned about the Republican Senator Alfonse D ‘ Amato , a staunch defender of online poker by organizing PPA (Poker Players Alliance) which he chairs.

“We would be very concerned if a bill limiting online gambling to residents of Iowa,” adds John Pappas as the Florida Senate prepares to vote him as its own local law (# SB-712) authorizing poker circles to offer online gaming.
Demonstration in Washington, PokerStars changes its strategy

The PPP has even held Tuesday, March 15 a “Poker Lobby Day” day of protest in the capital Washington DC to protest against the laws passed in 2006 and recently came into force in this state among all symbolic, PokerStars and Full Tilt pushing to outlaw its residents access to their sites.

It is these same sites following their own interests against the apparent inability of federal authorities who are beginning to sponsor local initiatives. So on PokerStars , which he recently applauded the U.S. Congress , but now openly and financially supports a bill presented to lawmakers in Nevada last week.

All this adds to the confusion room on the legislation of online gaming in the largest and most active market in the world. While white collar workers are hesitant and circling, the online poker industry continues to grow, breaking record after record , while players enjoy and yet still unclear about their legal status.
Legal online poker, a debate that never ends

Suffice to say that the side of the players are ultimately has little reason to get excited about a federal regulation in the short term, particularly if it is guided by the restrictions imposed by Italy or France to his players .

In this the “model” for French and Italian are now primarily a scarecrow to U.S. customers from gambling sites online that can observe at leisure the damage of a regulation whose benefits (protection, supervision, legal) are very little impact face grimmer (partitioning, taxes, provides degraded).

As for the substantive debate, the views that oppose consistently for years supporters and detractors of a federal statute did not advance the debate one iota.

“If we legalize gambling on the internet we know that there will be more players” and therefore more addictive, carried away the Rev. James Butler, director of the California Coalition Against Gambling (California Coalition against the Game). ” Americans clearly want to play on the internet and legislators must give them freedom, while ensuring that consumer protection measures are in place, “retorted John Campbell.

The third episode of the animated series The Microphones , recounting the adventures of three young players in the world of professional poker, was released by its creators Jay ‘KRANTZ “Rosenkrantz and John ‘JimmyLegs’ Wray.

In this episode, the two male protagonists Chase Burger alias ‘Swede Tooth’ and depart for Australia to compete in the Aussie Millions, while their colleague (not if) it Pink Women ‘Balls’ Ballenger had a bad quarter time in ‘rehab’.

Computers will still heat this Sunday with a new batch of online tournaments with guaranteed prize pools on the French online poker rooms . Here is the program for this March 20, 2011 on the virtual tables. Fr.
PokerStars.fr two Classicos and a Rookie

This Sunday at the Ligue 1 match between Marseille and Paris expected by all football fans in France, PokerStars.fr separates his tournament Sunday The Classico € 10 in two parallel editions on Sunday, March 20 at 18h, three hours before kick-off the match at the Stade Velodrome.

The tournament (Marseilles or Paris) to be the most recorded his fifty best players will win 100 € tickets valid for Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) , a series of online tournaments that begins March 27.

Also new: the disappearance of the Frenc Sunday at 10 € and the introduction of a ‘Rookie Game’ at 1 € to € 10,000 guaranteed prize pools (3000 tokens, level. 10 minutes).

PokerStars.fr: Classico + 10.000 € freeroll

The 28th day of Ligue 1 ends in style Sunday, March 20 to 21h with the famous Clasico OM – PSG at Stade Velodrome. Whether for Marseilles or Paris, a defeat would not be without consequence.
1.85 rating OM

Eliminated in Tuesday’s final round of the Champions League by Manchester United, Olympique de Marseille can now focus entirely in the championship match against the rival Paris could well be a turning point. Fourth in Ligue 1 with 48 points (7 points to the leader of Lille), Marseille severely jeopardizing his chances of retaining his title in case of defeat against Paris. Conversely, a victory would allow Marseille to stay in the race and spend only the second in the standings. The site also gives PMU.fr OM favorite with odds of 1.85 to win.
A Clasico which often turns to Marseille

It must be said that Clasico quite successful at the Velodrome in Marseille. In 30 home encounters against Paris in the first division, the OM has become 19 times for 6 draws and only 5 defeats. Except for a setback against Lille in two weeks ago Velodrome, Marseille remains on 5 successes during the past six days. This season, the Phoenicians score 7 wins, 4 draws and 2 defeats in their stadium in Ligue 1. So they split their opponents on a score of 30% of parity and time listing for Marseille and Paris make a draw tonight is 3.00.
PSG has no right to defeat

The equation for the Paris-Saint Germain is the same. Eliminated in Europe League by Benfica on Thursday, the Parisians, fifth in Ligue 1 with 45 points, are not entitled to the defeat against Marseille on pain of being left behind in the race for qualifying places for the Champions League. All competitions, the men of Antoine Kombouare are a series of four games without a victory (2 draws and 2 losses). So they will try to stop it and they needed to score in Marseille is 3.80. Note that the PSG had two fewer days of recovery that OM and freshness physics could play a role in this clash.
Gignac and Remy will they score?

PMU.fr offers 50 meeting in Paris OM – PSG including those on the scorers. Author of 5 goals in 21 matches in Ligue 1 with Marseille, Andre Pierre Gignac is the favorite to score against Paris with a score of 2.10. Loïc Remy, Marseille’s top scorer with 9 achievements, he inherits a rating of 2.45 to deceive Edel. He is also on 3 goals in the last 4 days.
Paris on the scorers: Hoarau and Nene favorites

Side of the PSG, Guillaume Hoarau and Nene both have a rating of 2.70 to shake the nets tonight. The first scored 3 times in 4 games against Marseille and the second is the top scorer with 13 goals from Paris. It is also the one who gets the most in League 1 this season with 94 strikes.

The correct title of this article should be “Why the final tables must be broadcast ‘live’ with a delay of one hour and exposure of cards of players.” Several experiments of this type have already been tried. Without up to the Grand Prix de Paris 2008, which benefited from this system, we remember that two months ago, the main event of the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure was broadcast live by ESPN2 almost (with a 60 90 minutes). And still more recently, the Bicycle Casino in Los Angeles has decided to broadcast the final table of the Big Event on the webstream of its website.
The full line is impossible

Although we would love to watch final tables live-live with the cards of players exposed to the cameras, obvious security reasons (cheating, collusion, etc..) Prevent, but adding a slight lag between the blow and the time of its release, these security problems disappear. Of course, players at the table can ask what the information on the hands previously played by their opponents and use this information to their advantage, which poses other problems that we discuss in the following of this article. For simplicity, whenever you read ‘live’ from now on, it will actually issue a broadcast with a slight delay. It is nevertheless my view that the broadcast ‘live’ final table is a great idea.
The advantages of a slight delay

The advantages that such transmission brings are huge. First, play a live finale ensures the audience not to know in advance who will win the final, which keeps the party any suspense and makes it more interesting to follow. Just remember the broadcasts of World Poker Tour on Canal Plus, sometimes planned over a year after the fact, to realize what such a process loses interest. All media poker, PokerNews included, have had ample time to report the results of the tournament in question and the suspense during those subsequent releases is close to zero. Think of it as a football match. What do you want to watch on TV? A game where you know the result in advance or a party who is played live?

Second, a replay ‘live’ allows friends and family of participants at the final table to vibrate in unison with their loved one. For example, the finalist from the Big Event Leskowitz Bryan lived on the east coast of the United States and therefore did not have many supporters in the room. Most were unable to travel to California to attend the final. By retransmitting the ‘live’, all his friends were able to follow the final table near-live and commune with him remotely.

Advantage, the broadcast ‘live’ opens new windows to the sponsors and buyers of advertising space. No need to draw a picture.
For or against the revelation of hidden cards?

But the broadcast ‘live’ final table also has its detractors. Some think it comes at the expense of players. Why? Because it would provide information to their opponents that they can then use against them. For example, during the final table of the Big Event, Joe Hachem has often clashed Taylor von Kriegenbergh by operating ’3-bets ‘and of 4-bets’ pre-flop. With this broadcast ‘live’ von Kriegenbergh could just wait an hour wait to be related image content and adapt to the consequences set of Hashem.

This argument is valid but we can counter by saying that all players at the table have this possibility and none of them therefore has an unfair advantage over others. During its broadcast ‘live’ the Big Event, the Bicycle Casino has even offered to participants to choose which cards they want to hide or reveal to the camera. I am a big fan of this option, and were also finalists.
What do the fans?

Following the broadcasts ‘live’ the Big Event and the PCA, the feedback was very positive. And scores of hearing more than satisfactory. With that in mind, it is difficult to imagine that we will not see the broadcasts ‘live’ final tables to multiply in the future, either on television or the Internet. Perhaps even though the World Series of Poker. It is the hope dominant community pokéristique and is shared by many top professionals. The only question left to ask is: what the fans think? After all, if the final tables must be massively one day live broadcast ‘live’, it will be primarily for their pleasing to them.

Andrew Robl, better known by his nickname “Good2CU” side bets big frequenter of the most insane, just launched a new challenge to the community of American poker players. The poker prodigy who trains for some time very seriously to Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is seeking one fellow poker players from challengers for a confrontation “cage fight”. Sorel Mizzi, initially interested in the proposal would then declined.
Robl, of “Balla” MMA Fighter

Andrew Robl has lived for some years a true story succsess. The skills of this little poker genius enabled him to accumulate a considerable fortune at the tables live and online and become a professional poker full time. Comfortably installed in her luxurious Vegas condominium offering breathtaking views of the Strip Boulevard, this young millionaire lives life of Poker “balla” to the fullest and therefore enjoys all the stereotypes of poker aces full, wild parties at XS, his favorite club, small (s) friend (s) to physical and impeccable … side bet galore.

In the latter discipline, Robl has just reached a new stage. The youngster trains following a furious pace to Mixed Martial Arts, a discipline combining several fighting techniques and authorizing drumming techniques such as kicks, punches, knee and elbow techniques and projections submission and drumming techniques on the ground. Robl surrendered three to four times a week in the room to learn Sergio Penha mainly Jiu Jitsu.
Mizzi deflates

The intensive training Robl would allow him to be in the best possible way to win the side bet of $ 50,000 filed against Sorel Mizzi. Both players were in fact compete in a “cage fight” a battle typical of MMA during the WSOP 2011. However, Mizzi, currently mired in a new history of Chinese cheating at poker, had to withdraw, citing Robl looking for new opponents.

If the new challenge Robl seems extreme, learning MMA has nothing motivated by the mere prospect of a new side bet delusional. Born as a competitor, Robl said:

“Learning new things and constantly improve is the key to Happiness”.

Remains whether Robl is ready to go at the end of his project. Gus Hansen had initiated a similar project to promote the launch of its website and had challenged his friend and compatriot Theo Jörgensen in a boxing match. Both players had finished their fight for three rounds but tied Jorgensen enjoying coast of 2:1 had finally won the side bet of $ 25,000.

This could happen to anyone, anytime, but this happens very rarely. A player has received this month a nice Christmas present late: four pairs of aces in five hands! Is this a record? What was the reaction of the player? Here’s the funny adventure experienced by ANTOSANDRINE on PokerStars .

For the story Antony eventually losing battle despite his extraordinary rush of American Airlines.
“A statistical fact exceptional” by PokerStars

Antony Trombella contacted PokerStars whether this series of aces was a record, but the room told him that “no record has been set up by PokerStars” although its corresponding acknowledge “the fact that it is a statistical fact exceptional. ”

“Having a pair AA is beautiful,” remembers Antony “have two in a row it’s magic, but have four pairs AA five hands is amazing, I had the feeling of being untouchable, I even thought the software was buggy so it seemed impossible. ”

CAD Draughtsman Building 27 years living in Ajaccio, Trombella Antony describes himself as a player, “tight aggressive” and is passionate about, besides the poker, sports, music or architecture. So he knows the numbers well enough to know that the odds of such a series are very slim. “I know there are about 1 in 200 chance to hit a pair of aces, but 4 pairs of aces in 5 hands I do not know at all and I would love to know “he asks.
Record already broken four years ago

“I’d like to enter as a record because it is a statistical fact exceptional” we “he said.” In poker you have a lot of record of the longest part, record attendance, record earnings, why not a record AA pair in a minimum of hands? ”

Unfortunately for Antony, our research has flushed out a hand history dating back to July 2007 which indicates that four aces in five hands is not the record! Indeed, the player ‘steveMFrush had been cut four pairs of aces in four strokes in a tournament no limit hold’em! Souce: PokerStars Game # 11217526855: Tournament # 56616686, $ 8.00 + $ 0.80 Hold’em No Limit – Level XI (500/1000) – 2007/07/30 – 12:57:56 (ET).
Four pairs of aces in a row: one chance in 2.3 billion

Knowing that the chances of receiving a pair of aces are 1 in 221. (4 / 52 * 3 / 51). The odds of receiving two pairs of aces in a row are 1 / 221 * 1 / 221 = 1 in 48,841. And you also, statistically, three consecutive pairs of aces every ten million hits (10,793,861).

In the case of ‘steveMFrush’, four aces in four hands is a series that does so, all two billion hands on average (1 out of 2,385,443,281).
Records mostly symbolic

Note that these probabilities can be “misleading” in the sense that we must keep in mind that “statistically” a pair of aces is not exceptional compared to any other hand. So the odds are of course the same as touching four pairs of 2 consecutive QQ or KK and then JJ and TT in a row.

The notion of “exceptional series” or “record” is especially attached to the symbolism of the sacred arrows of the pair of aces, the atomic bomb the No Limit Hold’em, and the emotions felt when finally discovered after a long wait. “Seated at a poker table (live) I struggled to hide my emotion I think” says Antony.
Antony Trombella: “I have full confidence”

In conclusion we asked Antony Trombella who has a moment thought the buggy software, if online poker was rigged (fake), ie if the facts seemed unlikely taking place on the virtual tables gave him the feeling that dice, or rather the cards were stacked on the Internet.

“I do not think at all that online poker is rigged,” he answers without hesitation, “it is just easier to say it’s fake when you lose on a bad beat online. I have full confidence on the online poker sites.

Especially when it gives you four pairs of aces in five hands is not it. But to paraphrase the slogan of a competitor to the room where the acts took place, “this is not the pair of aces that count, this is in fact!”

180 players showed up on Day 1A of the PokerStars European Poker Tour Snowfest to 3,500 € held in the Austrian Alps to Salbach-Hinterglemm, or 30% less than last year at the same time.

102 players took their respective pads on Day 2, in order of battle behind the British chipleader Martins Adeniyi (182,500 chips) which has its closest rival Dutchman Wim Bos well away (more than 50,000 tokens in advance).

Among the reasons for this slight disaffection, a dream weekend with snow and sun in the program many players who probably will catch up for Day 1B Monday 21 March. Nevertheless it now seems impossible to improve the participation of 2010 (546 players).
