Canadian, Aussie Mills veteran and all around good guy Elliot Smith (the poker player, not the dead musician) is grinding out another great showing in the 2010 Aussie Millions.
In 2009, Smith placed 3rd in the main event, and is gunning for another strong finish. Pictured at the tables at The Crown, Smith is focussing on repeating the feat. We’re trying to get in touch with him for some comments on how the action is going, and what kind of pressure he’s feeling.
More updates coming. Go get’em Elliot.
Side note: if you want to come play with an Aussie Mills contender, his screen name is ilikebiggirls. He also likes big payouts. We’ll see how he fares this year.
Twitter has become extremely popular among professional poker players since many of them use Tweets to keep fans updated on their latest news (you’re welcome, grandma). Doyle Brunson is especially fond of Twitter as he uses the service to let people know about his tournament finishes, outrageous sports bets, and jokes that he finds funny. And it is the jokes that have recently landed Brunson in hot water with many followers.
Winning a World Series of Poker bracelet is one of the biggest achievements that a poker player can earn during their career. And pro poker player T.J. Cloutier has been lucky enough to win 6 of them during his career. However, he is only holding five of them after an unidentified person bought one of the bracelets off of Cloutier recently.
Your typical sit and go tournament involves 9 or 10 players with all of the action taking place on one table. That being said, a lot of players like to branch out and play multi-table sit and go tournaments these days. But one thing to keep in mind with multi-table SNG’s is that they require a different strategy from both single table sit and go’s as well as regular multi-table tourneys.
We are still over 5 months away from the start of the 2010 World Series of Poker. But even with the WSOP being so far away, Harrah’s Entertainment hasn’t wasted any time in releasing the tournament schedule for the world’s largest poker event.
It’s not too uncommon to see poker players lose their temper after getting rivered in a big hand. Some of these players even like to go on huge rants where they blame everyone from the dealer to opponents at the table. However, very few of these people ever resort to physical violence after losing a poker hand.

The concept of managing a poker bankroll is usually reserved for those who are really serious about the game. In fact, most poker strategy books and articles focus solely on semi-pro and professional players when giving out bankroll advice. The casual player is always looked at as an afterthought in this discussion since they mostly play for fun anyways.
While Harrah’s Entertainment may have taken over the World Series of Poker brand name, much of the WSOP’s history will always be tied to Binion’s. That’s because Binion’s owned and operated the WSOP for 36 years until the event was sold to Harrah’s Entertainment in 2005. But just recently, the WSOP’s birthplace has announced that it will be closing its doors.
November has come and gone. The turkey was stuffed, leftovers have been pillaged and football was watched.
