Shaun Deeb Quits Tournament Poker

OK, so however you play winning online poker, here’s how NOT to play it. Don’t play it until you burn out. That’s what happened to soon-to-be flash-in-the-pan online poker star Shaun Deeb who, after delivering a series of depressing shows, announced that has decided to quit playing in poker tournaments indefinitely.

This is the same Shaun Deeb who turned an initial deposit in an online poker site of $30 into a $33,000 bankroll within just a couple of weeks. Under the uncomplicated username ‘shaundeeb’(PokerStars) and the less obvious ‘tedsfishfry’ (Full Tilt Poker), Deeb has won millions in online poker, with his biggest win being $81,812.50 in a January ’09 PokerStars Super Tuesday.

Possibly part of the reason Deeb burnt out is because he was known to play in as many as 30 tournaments at the same time, averaging 20 tournaments a day some days.

OK, now here’s the fine print at the bottom you’ve all been waiting for: he’s not quitting poker entirely; just poker tournaments. Ah, that makes much more sense.

How to Play Winning Online Poker Like 2009 WSOP Champ Joe Cada

Here’s how you play winning online poker, to the tune of $8 million, as per Joe Cada, the newest World Series of Poker Main Event champion.

First, as a teen, you watch Chris Moneymaker make poker history coming from an online poker satellite (PokerStars in his case) to win the 2004 World Series of Poker Main Event and become inspired to follow in his shoes. Then you join a top poker site, like PokerStars (hey, why not? it worked for Moneymaker, right?) and start playing every day, honing your game for 5 long years until the day you hit 21 and can finally register for the greatest poker game of all time, the World Series of Poker Main Event. Then you win it, beating a logger, a former Wall Street rich guy, a nice grandfatherly man, and 5 poker professionals, including two former main event final tablers, one of whom is reputed to be the greatest poker player alive, and about 6,000-plus others for the $8.5 million grand prize and fame outlasting a lifetime.

And that’s how you play winning online poker. Thanks, Joe, for showing us how it’s done.

Welcome Bonus At PKR Now $800

To play winning online poker, as we’ve so often stated in this blog, it depends in large part on how much free money you can collect to play with. And here’s a related tidbit of advice: that an online poker site’s 100% matching casino signup bonus is only as good as the maximum allowable bonus. And right now, over at 3D poker site, PKR, the 100% first deposit bonus has leapt to $800.

You will hardly find a site around offering a higher possible welcome bonus amount. Even the biggies PokerStars and FullTilt kept their maxes in the $600-$650 range.

But at PKR you get a 100% match up to $850 plus 1,500 PKR poker points, a ticket to the $1,000 Premium Freeroll, and tickets to 5 other Premium Freerolls.

All this is to say that if you aren’t a PKR player yet, now would be a really good time to sign up and start.

However, if PKR does not strike your interest, then maybe you might want to try to play keno online.

Why Share The Pot? Winner Takes All Tournaments At Everest Poker

One great way to play winning online poker is to play in winner take all tournaments in which there is only one player left standing at the tournament’s end, who receives the entire cash prize pool – splitting it with no one.

Winner Takes All tournaments don’t give you a chance to win a share of the prize pool. It’s all or nothing with these high-risk, high-reward babies. And Everest Poker has got them in spades.

Another Winner Takes All Tournament at Everest Poker starts every hour at a quarter after the hour (that is 15 minutes after each hour). In all that gives players 24 opportunities to walk away with entire prize pool and not just a measley share.

And to keep things interesting, not every Winner Takes All tournament at Everest Poker will be the same. Stakes and buy-ins will vary, for one. As will game types, like 6-max, shootouts, turbos, rebuys, etc.

Twice the Progressive Jackpots at Titan Poker

Titan Poker has a pair of great new jackpots running for the month of September, 2009.

One is called the Titan Double, and it’s based on winning two “doubles tournaments” scheduled for the same time (start times are 5 minutes apart). Pay the $5 + $1 buy-in for both tournaments – you must enter both to win – and take your best shot at winning the Titan Double Progressive Jackpot (at the time of this writing, around $2,250). You either have to win both of the tournaments you’re double-tabling or at least reach the final table of each.

The other progressive jackpot this month is actually a 3-in-1 jackpot in that, you only need to enter one contest to enter them all. This $50,000 Summer Race, as Titan Poker is calling it, is based on 3 cash game leaderboards with prizes awarded for scoring in the highest portion of the leader board for each given period – daily, weekly, and monthly.

Also, don’t forget that Titan Poker is starting its annual satellites to the European Championship of Online Poker V.
