Online gaming regulation has been the subject of many a discussion through the past few years, especially since the passage of the 2006 Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA), which prohibited banks from transferring funds to and from online gaming websites. Several members of Congress have introduced legislation to reverse the UIGEA and regulate online gaming, but to no avail.
 

It's been many months since the last word from the Kahnawake Gaming Commission regarding the UltimateBet scandal. As it turns out, the KGC was in the process of refunding more money to cheated players, identifying culprits, and discussing the case with law enforcement officials. And on September 11, 2009, the "final decision" was written and released to the public.

One of the most sophisticated weapons in any poker player's arsenal, the squeeze play is potent and best used sparingly. It's an advanced type of bluff normally reserved for big bet games such as pot-limit and no-limit. Moreover, it's mainly useful in tournament play, and even then, the would-be squeezer must pick his spots very carefully.

No one specifically comes to mind when you think of the premier Badugi players in the world. Although Badugi has been played in poker circles for years-especially in high stakes mixed games-the game is still in its infancy and not as popular as hold 'em, stud, or Omaha. Badugi is a fixed-limit lowball game with four cards and three chances to draw. You're seeking the lowest low hand but with different suits.

Englishman Paul Zimbler broke a world record for the longest recorded continuous poker session during the World Series of Poker-Europe, when he played 74 hours, 20 minutes, and 21 seconds straight.

Challengers were asked to donate a minimum of £10 to play against him, with proceeds going to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Betfair Poker added a £5,000 donation and Zimbler raised close to £35,000 during his sleepless saga.

He began on a Monday and finished three days later after playing Mike Matusow. Zimbler had to be helped-and partially carried-from the table.

My first book, The Greatest Book of Poker for WINNERS!, explains four basic rules for winning at poker. Rule No. 1 deals with goals and money management-tactics for preserving your winnings at each session. Certainly if you win every session, you will be a winner over the long run.

Both are similar and can help you to avoid losing back all your winnings when you are ahead.

Two poker enthusiasts asked me about something they heard while watching a hold 'em tournament on TV. They said they heard the color announcer say, "If you hold an ace, then there's a 70 percent chance that you have the only ace dealt out among the players." They asked me if that was correct. I told them they misheard the statement; they insisted they heard correctly. If so, then the announcer erred, big time.
