Pius Heinz wins 2011 WSOP
The 2011 World Series of Poker Main Event title has finally been claimed. Pius Heinz, a 22-year-old professional poker player from Cologne, Germany, took the title holding Ace-King against Martin Staszko’s Ten-Seven. Neither hand improved and Heinz took home $8.7 million with ace-high. Not only was Heinz the first German to win the Main, he was the first to sit at the final table. Over 6800 players from 85 different nations started the event over 13 days, with a prize pool of $64,540,858. The top 693 cashed and the tournament broke, as usual, over a period of five months between the body of the event and the final table, the “November Nine.” Notably, third-place finisher Ben Lamb was looking to culminate a sick, sick run at the WSOP. He place in five consecutive tournaments, making the final table of four of them, and winning one of them. This unheard-of streak locked him up solidly for the WSOP Player of the Year title. For the first time, the Main Event was broadcast (almost) live. There was a delay of several minutes to limit the ability of players to exploit the private pocket card cameras. Although this could potentially allow players to learn about very recent hands during breaks, creating a unique angle on the most important final table of the year. The continuing high turnout of the WSOP is taken as proof that the allure of poker continues throughout the world despite a federal crackdown against online poker. # Player Earnings Country 1 Pius Heinz $8,715,638 Germany 2 Martin Staszko $5,433,086 Czech Republic 3 Ben Lamb $4,021,138 United States 4 Matt Giannetti $3,012,700 United States 5 Phil Collins $2,269,599 United States 6 Eoghan O’Dea $1,720,831 Ireland 7 Bob Bounahra $1,314,097 Belize 8 Anton Makiieveskyi $1,010,015 Ukraine 9 Sam Holden $782,115 United Kingdom Copyright 2012 Ace Nine, LLC Legal | Contact Us | Site Map

GI Joe Assaults Online Poker, Refrigerated Beer, Noobs

GI Joe Assaults Online Poker, Refrigerated Beer, Noobs
published on 03/18/11 at 7:09 am Angel Valdez is working towards the American dream. By waking up at noon, cracking opening a PBR, and giving online poker a shot full-time. We talk to the recently unemployed McDonalds cashier, now full time poker player and owner of the Online Poker Team (OPT) to see what he is all about. Special interviewer, Street3, makes an appearance to ask a few of his own questions. What is the background on your twitter name, GI Joe Valdez? Big into kids and toys? Was Snake Eyes the coolest Joe? Why not the nickname, El Burro?I was in the Army for 8 years and was pretty crazy. One time one of the older guys said slow your roll gijoe and take it easy and it stuck since then some called me gijoe. After I got out of the Army I created an email with that name. Nothing glorious about it but it has stuck. Now most people that dont know my real name call me Joe. Why did you start the OPT?Other players and I used to be a part of another online poker team but they were jerks when it came time to play. If you lost they were all over you, and put a lot of pressure for you to finish out your allotment. Talked to a couple of other unhappy players and they suggested I start my own. I did and took it from there. I made it a lot of fun to be a part of this team with zero drama and been very lucky so far. Has this endeavor been profitable?The OPT: Yes, when we first started The OPT share were sold at $5 each. Now they are close to $6, and when we started I begged players to join we now have a waiting list and its not as easy to get in.Full time poker pro: Im on day 3 and if I continue min cashing in this fashion I will be broke sooner then 2 weeks. What are your plans if you do not find a job when your bankroll runs out next week?I been lucky to have made a lot of final tables in my online poker career so I paid close attention to all the rail beggars. Noted all their sappy questions and how they get players to ship them money. Its better then standing by the freeway with a sign. I can beg from home. Just open up a final table and go to work. If you were a pro who would you like to sponsor you?Some whale that doesnt care if they lose money. Mike Matusow is probably the biggest candidate. Ive seen him stake some really bad players in the Main event so I figured I cant do any worse. What is the square root of 9?There is a square in 9? Had to Google that. 3 it says. What is your favorite poker game? Cash/tourney? The most you have ever won and lost?Favorite game are Super Turbos MTT, 2nd favorite are Rush games, 3rd are deepstack/double stack MTTs. I dont play cash games at all, but when I have Ive done pretty well. The most I have won in an MTT has been $3300 on Pokerstars, and $2200 several times on Fulltilt. The most Ive lost in an MTT online was $110 and in cash game $77 I think. Live game I spent $125 to play a sat which I won. That gave me $1100 to play a wsopc event. I didnt cash so that sucked. Im a bankroll nit so Noob Was it a good or bad decision, on my part, to allow Street3 into this interview? Explain this.Its always good to let Street3 into any conversation with you. He will make you look good. You could be picking your nose live on TV and no one will notice anything but his big forehead. See attached pic space is available for advertisement on his forehead so he says Check/Call or Bet/Fold? Why?Both.Check/call: when using pot control. If you have top pair and weak kicker or fear other player flopped bigger hand.Bet/fold: is what I use when in agro mode and I use it vs any number of opponents. You get so much information by throwing out a bet. At best they all fold or 1 calls the rest fold, and at worse case scenario they all fold and 1 re-raises you, or they all call. What piece of advice would you give a first time online poker player?Dont get started. QUIT! Turn around and go play checkers. But if he really doesnt like that advice I suggest getting some proper training or a solid coach, read up on the game, have a nice bankroll to back you up, set your priorities, and stick to a routine. Ive seen a lot of players go on tilt in poker but it doesnt stop there. Usually that carries across there other parts of their life and they crash and burn. There are a lot of stories on the news about gamblers robbing some casino, held up another player, or held up a bank or convenience store. If you arent patient in life you will definitely not succeed in poker. While this game skill has 70% of chance the other 30% is lady lucks doing and shes a cold hart bitch. If you arent ready for the losses or cant handle it then dont get started. This game is filled with skilled and solid players, and it takes time for a noob to get there. This game can be a lot of fun just dont let it get you down. Related posts: Online Poker Player Plays His Cards Close To The Vest Black Friday Saves One Players Money & Relationship

Global Poker Index: Sam Trickett Enters the Top 10

Global Poker Index: Sam Trickett Enters the Top 10
November 24 2011, Mickey Doft Related Articles Global Poker Index: Failla Cracks Top 10; Seidel’s Reign May Soon End Global Poker Index: Seidel Still On Top, Buchanan Cracks Top Ten Global Poker Index: Waxman Cracks Top 10, Seidel Still Leads Related Players Share It Tags Global Poker Index, Poker Rankings, Federated Sports + Gaming, Erik Seidel, Will Failla Print Each week, the Global Poker Index releases a list of the top 300 tournament poker players in the world using a formula that accounts for a player’s results over six half-year periods. A new name entered the top 10 this week and he won’t be going anywhere for a while. For a look at the entire list of 300, visit the official GPI website. The Top 10 as of November 21, 2011 Rank Player Total Score Change in Rank from Last Week 1 Erik Seidel 2,560.94 0 2 Bertrand ElkY Grospellier 2,493.71 0 3 Jason Mercier 2,398.58 0 4 Eugene Katchalov 2,371.55 0 5 Shawn Buchanan 2,331.45 0 6 Sam Stein 2,178.26 +1 7 Sam Trickett 2,121.17 +6 8 Sorel Mizzi 2,107.57 -2 9 Fabrice Soulier 2,018.48 -1 10 Matt Waxman 2,003.46 -1 Sam Trickett cracked the top 10 this week, thanks to his victory at the 2011 Partouche Poker Tour Main Event that concluded last week. That first-place finish was Trickett’s third seven-figure score of the calender year, with the other two coming at the 2011 Aussie Millions. Making way for Trickett in the top 10 was Will “The Thrill” Failla, now on the outside looking in at No. 11. As we suggested last week, Erik Seidel’s score dipped a little due to an aging seven-figure score. Still, Seidel continues to hold down the fort at No. 1. Welcome to the GPI Only four players were new to this week’s GPI, led by Stephane Benadiba. Thanks to a 10th-place finish in the 3,000 No-Limit Hold’em Main Event at the 2011 Hold’em Series in Paris last week, Benadiba returned to the GPI in the No. 232 spot. New Additions Player Total GPI Score GPI Rank Stephane Benadiba 1,137.74 232nd Youcef Benzerfa 1,121.65 241st Kyle Loman 1,019.63 299th Kevin Vandersmissen 1,019.20 300th Falling from the GPI this week were Eric Baldwin, John O’Shea, Kenny Hicks, and Ruben Visser. Baldwin’s fall was the steepest, having been at No. 228 last week. His first-place finish in the 2010 NAPT LA Bounty Shootout last November fell from Period 2 to Period 3 and was also his last six-figure score. Ups and Downs The biggest rise of the week belonged to Cary Katz. Although he’s had no recent results, Katz had some extra scores to spare in his Period 1 results. A fourth-place finish in a $5,000 no-limit hold’em event at the Five Star World Poker Classic in May fell into Period 2, his only score that counts for that time period. Biggest Gains Rank Player Total Score Change in Rank From Last Week 36th Salman Behbehani 1,733.56 +22 63rd Allen Kessler 1,575.77 +14 91st Mustaphha Kanit 1,476.71 +9 134th Justin Bonomo 1,326.03 +67 139th Marc Inizan 1,311.59 +40 147th Ilan Boujenah 1,291.24 +35 148th Oleksii Kovalchuk 1,289.78 +50 210th Cary Katz 1,164.35 +89 233rd Dan Buzgon 1,136.62 +17 259th Paul Berende 1,080.54 +10 The biggest fall of the week belonged to Bernard Lee. Lee’s fifth-place finish in the 2010 Heartland Poker Tour Main Event at Soaring Eagle last November aged from Period 2 to Period 3. Biggest Drops Rank Player Total Score Change in Rank From Last Week 48th Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi 1,682.43 -22 87th Marvin Rettenmaier 1,495.76 -27 119th David Williams 1,365.66 -21 174th Per Linde 1,248.26 -23 178th Dominik Nitsche 1,241.16 -53 222nd Maria Ho 1,152.47 -39 226th Jean Thorel 1,147.45 -18 252nd Bernard Lee 1,101.10 -68 278th Matt Jarvis 1,058.90 -19 288th Men Nguyen 1,042.09 -35 What’s In Store? Former top 10 mainstay Juha Helppi, now No. 29, will see his GPI stock fall a bit further next week. His runner-up performance in the 10,000 High-Roller No-Limit Hold’em event at the 2011 EPT Barcelona will fall from Period 2 to Period 3. Helppi will still have two other six-figure score in his Period 2 results, but his score will still take a hit. Also, 2011 EPT Barcelona Main Event Champion Kent Lundmark will take a huge hit. Having earned seven figures for that victory, Lundmark does not have any six-figure cashes to his name. He does have several five-figure cashes, but it’s his big win that will define his GPI standing. Currently sitting in the No. 164 spot, we wouldn’t be surprised if Lundmark falls more than 100 places next week. To look at the entire list of 300, visit the official GPI website.

Party Poker Changes Rake

admin — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 20:36:18 +0000

Party Poker Changes Rake
On 24th August, Party Poker will be changing the way it calculates its rake. The current way that Party Poker calculates its rake is by using the dealt model. The online poker site has announced that it will be changing to the weighted calculation method. When calculating the pot by the dealt method, the amount that has been paid into the pot is divided amongst the players that are playing in the hand. When using the new weighted model, when players are credited rake, it is by a percentage of the money that the individual player has contributed to the overall pot. The weighted calculation method does come with some controversy, since not all players feel that this is the best way to calculate the rake. It has been said that this method is used primarily to encourage inexperienced players into games. Party Poker has also made another announcement regarding rakes. The online poker site plans to reduce the rake on the sit n go tournaments that it hosts. Party Poker is currently running an online poker promotion that can win some lucky players a luxury trip to Oktoberfest. The first part of this promotion has just ended, and the second part, Race 2, has just begun, and will end on 31st August 2011. Each winner will win two tickets, and there are 16 Oktoberfest packages that are available to be won. There are also over 100 Apple gadgets that are available as prizes, along with some cash prizes too. During the race, players collect PartyPoints when playing poker at Party Poker. The higher the number of PartyPoints, the better the prizes are. There is also a VIP Oktoberfest and Super Gadget Freeroll that will be taking place on 4th September for those who want extra chances to win the luxury cruise and some great Apple gadgets, such as the iPhone, iPad 2 and iPod Touch.
