Poker in Greek Casinos?
Poker - Articles
Monday, 12 May 2008

According to the Greek law, poker is not allowed to be played in Greece neither in homes nor in land-based casinos. Of course, online gambling is also not allowed but that is another story. However there are rumors lately that imply the introduction of this card game to the Greek casinos. Yet, these rumors are heard for quite a few years, so that may mean nothing.

A glimmer of hope arised though when two advertisements made their appearance in Sunday's magazines. Both of them advertize 2 famous casinos (Porto Carras in Sithonia, Chalkidiki and Regency Casino in Athens and Thessaloniki) using poker terms. The first one shows a man holding 4 of a kind (Aces to be precise) while the second one uses the term "I Call". Additionally, there is also a radio advertisement promoting Regency casinos which talks only about poker. Perhaps, the time we Greeks will be able to host a big live poker tournament is closer than ever.

 
Betting, Trading, Poker. Which is most profitable?
Professional Gambling - F.A.Q.
Saturday, 10 May 2008

Let's assume there is a professional gambler named "Bob". He has designed his own betting strategy by improving a strategy he purchased online, he has also looked into trading where he is more than successful and at the same time he has studied Texas Hold'em Poker so well that he manages to show significant profits over the past months. The problem is Bob has only one life, how can he make most of it?

Playing Poker and Being Fit
Professional Gambling - Articles
Friday, 09 May 2008

Since my last blog entry almost 2 months ago, I have been playing poker a lot and also started a new website with a friend of mine. I have lost interest in publishing my poker results apart from the tournament ones, because I don't see how that would be beneficial for my blog's readers. I'd rather post informative articles which would be useful for anyone who wants to improve his poker skills or for any newbie discovering this game nowadays.

I also met a couple of Betfair employees who happen to have become good friends of mine and we get to meet now and then. This time we didn't discuss something specific but we more or so talked about the latest happenings in the gambling area. Maybe it's because I have stopped trading the UK Horse racing markets in Betfair and I have also abandoned all my betting activities, since poker consumes the vast majority of my time. That may come as a surprise for most of my blog's visitors, who keep on emailing me asking for betting or trading advice. Certainly I haven't forgotten the gains or pitfalls of sports betting or trading and I believe I can be of some help to anyone who tries them. However, playing poker for so many hours and having read a lot of forum topics while watching innumerous coaching videos mean that I have fresher knowledge and information about poker than trading.

Bad Beat Day
Poker - Performance
Saturday, 29 March 2008

Not a great day yesterday. Although I had a great beginning, I then played for 5 or hours without accomplishing anything remarkable and finally lost all the winnings, mainly due to bad beats (read the daily bad beat compilation in the forum). I didn't play quite well to be honest, but still you want to get paid when you are miles ahead. Anyway, I broke even and here's the graph and stats (7.5 straight hours of play).
