As of January 16th, 2012, Purple Lounge online poker room will no longer be touting Microgaming poker software. The move to Entraction (the online poker software powered by heavy-hitter IGT) was, as the Purple Lounge website puts it, part of its evolution.
Entraction means pure poker with more fish, claims Purple Lounge, and the game list backs up this description. Telesina, 7-card Stud, and all of your traditional favorites like Texas Holdem and Omaha are all there already waiting for you. And, since Entraction also heads up the magnetic European Masters of Poker tour, youll have an inside scoop on all of the live action games coming down the pike.
It appears that the most current players have to worry about are downloading the new software and picking out a new nickname.

Im sitting here bored as hell playing the PokerStars daily 50k$ guaranteed tournament and suddenly realized that its been ages since I wrote a post on my blog. Since Im not getting any playable cards what so ever, I thought I might as well fill in whoever reads this blog what Ive been up to lately.
The main take home message is that Im busy. About 2-3 months ago I enrolled in an MBA program to get one step closer to a big-money job as director of some insanely GOD DAMN IT just busted out with AJ vs KQ, Jokerstars kicks me in the balls again - rich company. In addition, I started up a new website project, which will hopefully be launched within the next couple of months; its going to be awesome!!!!
Anyway back to poker.

Video Poker was introduced somewhere in the 1970s. It was around the same time personal computers were introduced. Video poker is nothing but a casino game played on a computerized machine that looks more or less like a slot machine. When poker was introduced it became very popular since people didnt have to sit in person with other players and use their wits to win. This kind of allows the players to be by themselves and not worry about their moves while playing.
Since it sounds interesting let us see how to play video poker. To start playing you must insert money or a barcoded ticket into the slot machine. By placing a bet of one or more credits and then pressing the Deal button you begin the game.

I was checking out Bluff Europe because so much of the poker action is Europe bound these days and guess what, Viktor Isildur1 Blom is on the cover. So I jumped in to read the article. Our boy Isildur1 has a little bit of an ego. Perhaps hes earned it. Or perhaps you cant sit down and play marathon sessions where you win and lose a million bucks over a couple of days without having an ego. Something to think about in the world of high stakes online poker. Youll be up against young guns with big egos who will actually shake off losing $5 million bucks in a poker marathon. Oh, and with Full Tilt out ofmission, Isildur1 has been spotted playing over at PokerStars.
But not everyone plays high stakes poker. M

Online poker market analysts had predicted that the events of Black Friday will demolish the World Series of Poker (WSOP) attendance by 60 percent, but nothing of that sort happened. Although the absence of Full Tilt Poker and PokerStars was noticeable, the number of players fighting for jackpot at the WSOP Main Event was quite high. However, poker analyst Behr predicts that WSOP attendance will drop in 2012 if the state of affairs in the US online poker industry continues.
The US poker players who have lost their online poker space after the fall of PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker, and Absolute Poker are still unsure of getting back their poker funds.
