One day before the U.S. President Bush by his signature, the new law against Internet gambling for legally declared Excapsa Software has its full operational business to the company Blast Off Ltd.. (one in the privately owned Maltese company) sold for $ 130,000,000. Excapsa, the parent company of Ultimate Bet.com, was one of the last publicly traded companies as a result of the legal situation, after the new laws, their services in the United States no longer had to offer. Blast Off Ltd.. is the provider of online Elimination Blackjack ™ and was represented by the ULtimate Blackjack Tour closely with Excapsa.

The Ultimate Blackjack Tour, was the spiritual child of former WSOP Champions Ultimate Bet and team member, Russ Hamilton.

PartyGaming PLC (PartyPoker) was one of the first publicly traded on the stock exchange companies, which had announced no future more players from the U.S. to accept immediately afterwards gave 888.com (Pacific Poker) known players also no longer allow the United States. At the beginning of the week, the Britain’s SportingBet (SBT.L) and the Leisure & Gaming (LNG.L) from the American market and the operating business in the U.S. for $ 1 sold to private investors. World Gaming (WGP.L) also announced the withdrawal from the U.S. business and has announced that it would no longer be possible operational in the U.S. business environment.

Publicly traded companies, because of the entry rules (exchange) is prohibited in the countries in which they offer their services, deliberately violate the law law. Other regulatory factors such as e.g. the associated potential shareholder liability, were probably the key reasons that companies are not in conflict with applicable law right of the United States wanted.

There were many speculations that ultimately only private companies such as Poker Stars, Full Tilt Poker, and Doyle’s Room continue your service to the American market and still players from the United States in full. Poker Stars had for next spring its initial public offering (1.6 billion dollars IPO) to the London Stock Exchange planned, but those plans were due to the current situation in the U.S. postponed.

Many were marked by the expression of Ultimate Bet, in the future players from the U.S. to accept very puzzled and have asked how Excapsa as listed company, which could bypass legal requirements. The mystery is solved. Ultimate Bet will continue its services in the U.S. offer, but as a new (unlisted) private company.

According to a report by ABC News, President Bush has the “Port Security Act signed in which the” Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act “. Thus, this law as expected in force and is legally valid.

“We will protect our ports. We will protect our homeland and we will this war against terror,”

The President made some further remarks about the Port Security elements of the new law while he signed the law package, but he mentioned in any way that parts of this Act, also the online gambling is concerned.

As soon as he heard this news had tried the reporter an account at Party Poker. PartyPoker had announced that until further notice no more players from the U.S. will accept. During the attempt to enter, a window to what was told that PartyPoker, because of planned maintenance work, not reachable. It is expected that after the planned maintenance, real money games for players from the U.S. are no longer available.

We will keep you informed of further developments in the loop.

Poker Stars Poker Stars, the second most popular poker rooms in the U.S. to PartyPoker, has sent a message announced that all players and partners certainly very happy to hear. Poker Stars has decided the general trend in the online game industry players from the United States no longer prepared to accept, not to follow and is in contrast to some of the other major online poker providers, in the future your services for residents of the United States fully.

The last weeks have been for the online gaming industry is very turbulent due to the fact that the “Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006″ by the U.S. Senate as legally declared. The large Manufacturer PartyGaming (Party Poker) and 888 Holdings (Pacific Poker) have responded immediately and have all players from the U.S. Presses, leading to a fall in share prices of both companies and led both PartyPoker, as well as at Pacific Poker a significant financial damage caused. The reason was that both companies can not by any laws in conflict, officially because companies are publicly traded and your shareholders are committed.

Poker Stars has no such commitments, as the majority shares of the mining licence from Israel include family and the remaining shares in the hands of poker stars employees. Poker Stars a few months ago was the object of some speculation, as was thinking was to go to the stock market and a possible relocation of the headquarters to the Isle of Man was planned. But nothing of the sort has happened.

The legal situation is very unclear, because the final legal text was not yet published, and also possibly in the next 9 months will not be published. Just because some of the “Great” in the online gaming industry is very calm and go directly to the bill have responded, does not necessarily mean that this behavior was correct.

Poker Stars probably has his own opinion about this and has in a letter to his players below:

Dear Poker Stars players,

As you probably know, the U.S. Congress adopted a new law (the Safe Port Act), which impact on gambling on the Internet.

Poker Stars has regarding the legal implications of respected legal experts from both inside and outside the U.S. advice. The result was that this legislative amendment for Poker Stars no impact on our current business in the United States.

Therefore, as our business continues as before – open to all players worldwide including the U.S.. You can probably on our side as well continue, as you are against this bill usual.

Poker Stars believes that a game of poker’s skill.

The AUSTRIAN MASTERS was a successful POKERWOCHE with many friends from all over the world and it is already looking forward to the next EVENT in the autumn.

Following the entry into force of the “Unlawful Internet Gambling Act’s” in the U.S., occurred in the gambling industry to some unrest. The reactions were very different, whereas the one hand, the world seemed to break, others consider this happened very calm because you believe the content of the legal text should first be analyzed precisely times and you have to wait and see how ultimately the real impact on the gambling industry.

Over time it became clear that the essence of this law is that the U.S. banks is prohibited transactions with online gambling companies. Hence the great Question – What is Neteller?

When Neteller is a company that financial transactions between consumers and businesses over the Internet carries (e-wallet). Most people who play online poker, have a Neteller account and a great deal of money transfers between online poker rooms and players on Neteller is settled.

In the elapsed time, long before any talk of a legislative change in the U.S., had the most players already enormous problems of your bank account with an PokerRoom up. For this reason, many players took advantage anyway no regular transfers through banks, but chose the comfortable and secure poker game of Neteller, due to Neteller has become almost an industry standard.

Since the U.S. banks by this law are forced, no more transfers to online gambling providers, are providers like Neteller one of the few remaining opportunities to the players in the U.S. continues to participate in the online poker possible.

Bruce Elliot, the Executive President of Sales & Marketing of Neteller, said yesterday during his speech before decision from the online gaming business at a conference in Barcelona:
“The law could be useful for all Internet payment provider as advantageous”
“We will continue our services in the United States. I do not think we problems”

A member of the Executive Committee of PokerNews.com, during this conference, we confirmed this. He also spoke with another responsible employee of Neteller, these statements confirmed: “We will in the future our services in the poker U.S. offers.”

The past 2 weeks for most people in the online poker business and a steady, but the messages of the last two days were for the continued existence of the online poker business is positive. That does not mean that the problems are eliminated and it does not mean that it will not be further problems, but the positive news, in any case a light on the horizon for all online poker players and help us all a little serene in the future.

During the beginnings of online poker game, three or four years, were almost exclusively all providers game platforms for Windows-based PC’s are made available. Before about a year ago, Apple had Mcintosh users, only one opportunity to play online poker – Poker Room or one of the PokerRoom skins.

But the wind had for Mac users in the last time shot. About 10 months ago announced full TIlt poker, a game client for Macintosh users should be introduced. A few days before the new laws (the “Unlawful Internet Gambling Act”) regarding online gambling in the U.S., PartyPoker had the first beta version of your new Software for Mac users in operation. The situation for Mac users would have the opportunity at Party Poker game, of course, improved and it looked like as if the number of US poker rooms, which is a software for Mac users offer in the future would grow steadily.

Due to the announcement of Bwin, parent company of PokerRoom that no longer PokerRoom.com players from the United States accepted, the Mac users in the United States thus only one PokerRoom available – Full Tilt Poker.

Full Tilt Poker has some new bonus promotions and promotions started to try the Mac users who are looking for a new Pokerrom to provide an incentive for the supplier. Since more and more so outsight as if Full Tilt Poker is the only remaining PokerRoom for the American Mac users, it can be assumed that many Mac users will use these offers and on the “Home of the Pros”.

For almost 10 months PokerRoom was a paradise for American Mac users who wanted to play online poker. Some months, it looked very good for the American players who are on Macintosh, but at the moment it seems to be that the American Mac users at the moment only one choice, if you are one of the major PokerRoom want to play.

A bank Tournaments enables participants, over several weeks to play, whenever and however they want. The principle is simple. Even a bankroll Tournament ends with a fixed scheduled finals, which in the usual multi-table format is disputed. For this finale, the participants must not qualify, but he can apply to a small registration fee directly for the finals Register. He then receives a bank roll of 15,000 chips for the finals. Those

he can in the weeks before the Rhine ® Card Poker Club tournament against other participants to make its final stack will be increased. In this the final distribution upstream chip race play the finals later smaller Sit & Go tournaments, multi-table rebuy tournaments or just like in a casino, the daily offered ring games with blinds of 10/20 (cash game mode). The so-called buy in to these games from the final chip bankroll denied, and any profits will also be well again. Who his entire bankroll of 15,000 chips in the preliminary competitions loses, is already before the start of the Finals from this Ret. A so-called rebuy registration for 15,000 more chips is excluded. The result is that many of the participants to be careful with their bank roll avoided.

The prices of the first in the Rhine ® Card Poker Club held bankroll tournaments were Everestpoker.net gesponsored. For the three winners were travelling in Ireland’s capital Dublin ausgelobt, the two won first prize beyond local tournament participations. According motivated met nearly 150 registered finals in different composition to the daily ring games or tournaments at the club. Some of the participants actually locomotives by the total loss of bankroll before the finals of the tournament, some others were in the weeks roll their bank (and thus their final starting stack) clearly and continuously.

The multi-table finals was finally on the last Saturday, 23.06.07, with over 100 participants. As chip leader started from Florian Linder Langenfeld into the race, in its regular ring game participations generate at least 61,100 chips. But even Christian Stiller from Cologne did not take clothing, although he only 1,200 chips to start.

After more than 6 hours to stand a varied course of the tournament final table. A total of 1.8 million chips distributed to 9 players. The places at the final table were re-drawn, and now the upcoming final phase of the tournament promised to be exciting, because there were some top players of the Rhine Poker ® community on Final Table. First, Pierre Poßberg from food alone this year at two major events attended: the PartyPoker Spring Festival in Vienna and the Aussie Millions in Melbourne. With the latter, he a good 73rd Sheehan space and 15,000 U.S. dollars prize money. His stack was meanwhile almost 300,000 chips. Also on Final Table Andreas Rüßel from Neuss with 140,000 chips, which by its victory in the first online pre Challenge in March directly for the endowed with 20,000 euros Rhine Poker Cup in December to qualify. In addition, Marc Pauly from Remscheid with 160,000 chips, already at the Pre Challenge in January and the Irish Satellite Dortmund 200 opponents behind him and could have been two winners are trophies on the shelf. Florian Linder also found himself at the final table, still chip leader with about 300,000 chips. Absolute short stack was Walter Blum with only 5,000 chips, which unfortunately for the first hand at the final table in the Big Blind (10,000) dissolved, also lost and therefore the first to acknowledge the field had. The other players: Torben Theis from Hilden, Tolga Özdemir from Essen, Ralf Gregor from Hilden and Thorsten Schwellinger from Hilden.

After about half an hour, the blinds were now 10000/20000, it was for the Mitfavoriten Florian Linder to a bitter disappointment. About weeks he had a very solid game for the finals leading stack generates and also contested the entire final round ungefährdetes game with a very high level chip. In the last few hands, however, shrank its chips to 156,000. Andreas Rüßel (currently 180,000) in Middle raiste position with ace of diamonds and diamond-Jack to 60,000. Linder, seated behind Rüßel, recently went to Consider All in. Rüßel pondered long, finally called and had frightened notice that he blatantly Ad Jd was unsuccessful because Linder showed cross-Ass and cross-Dame. The flop was Rüßel finally lose hope: Cross-king, cross-10 and diamond-4. But the holy Pokerus said it well with Rüßel and very sick with Linder. Turn: Karo-8, River: Karo-king. Rüßel won the hand with runner-runner flush and Linder was on 8, Ret. A weeks, continuous work with a very solid finals played at a stroke it. The bitter disappointment was written Linder in the face and will certainly take a very long gnaw at him.

The chips, which had won just Rüßel, he should not have long joy. While Linder before the club even mused, raiste Rüßel back from Middle position after a call from early position to 60,000 and was only by Pierre Poßberg on the button gecallt. The early foldete Limper, as well as the blind.

Flop: 2-4-6

Rüßel continued 100,000, responded with Poßberg All in (253,000). Re Rüßel longer had time to consider finally called and showed 8-8. Poßberg turned QQ, and the two Ladies also held to the River.

Poßberg saw a few hands later in a similar situation, but with changing signs. He raiste UTG +1 with two nines at 90,000 and was seated behind him the Theis All in gereraist (247,000). Poßberg calls and sees two to Zehnern, one of them in spades. The flop both players seemed to be considered: Three spades cards for Theis, but a nine-including Poßberg. Turn and River, however, brought no change, and the set of nines as Poßberg Theis took seventh on the table. The remaining players were now “in the Money” (For the seats from 4 to 6, there were poker accessories with a total value of 400, – Euro).

Several orbits later Poßberg now clear chip leader, two opponents off the table:

Blinds: 10000/20000. All players fold to button (Marc Pauly 170,000), of the button with spades and ace of spades-8 All in puschte. Tolga Özdemir (with 36,000 in Small Blind) called out of desperation with 4-2, as well as Poßberg in the big blind with cross-Ass and cross-Jack.

Pauly (D): As 8s
Özdemir (SB): 4h 2d
Poßberg (BB): Ac Jc

Flop: 10c 4c 2c

Turn and River did not generate the necessary Özdemir Full House and Poßberg won with the use gefloppten flush. Özdemir therefore resigned as a sixth, fifth Pauly.

Who now retired in the Bubble? Even four players in the tournament, three should fly to Dublin. It should be Rüßel the thankless 4th Space occupied after its 9-9 All in Poßberg and went with A-10 gecallt. An ace came on the board and Rüßel was outside.

The case now seemed clear, if you look at the chip stands installations:

Poßberg: 1,600,000 chips
Gregor: 120,000 chips
Schwellinger: 130,000 chips

Poßberg on the button, foldet, and it came to the Battle of the blind. Gregor pushte All in with 3-3 and will immediately Schwellinger in the Big Blind gecallt, calculated woke up with AA. The Aces, and Gregory resigned as a third party. Heads up between Pierre Poßberg (1,600,000) and Thorsten Schwellinger (250,000).

The blinds were now at 15000/30000. A hand later, Poßberg again on the button, this raises with A-3 and 1.6 million chips in. All Schwellinger, apparently felt little hope, with calls 6-7

Poßberg: A-3
Schwellinger: 6-7

Flop: 3-3-7
Turn: 5

And the “impossible” happened: River: 4 Schwellinger zimmerte a road and doubled to 500,000.

Two games later Poßberg slow-calls on the button with AJ. Schwellinger in the Big Blind checks.

The flop: 2 to 4-J

Schwellinger is 120,000, Poßberg raises to 240,000, Schwellinger reraist All in, Poßberg calls. Schwellinger shows J-2, two pair. These hold until the end and suddenly Schwellinger chip leader with 1.0 million to 0.8 million.

The direct connection hand, Schwellinger the button with A-10, calls. Poßberg with A-4 raises from the big blind to 120,000, Schwellinger responded immediately with All in Poßberg and calls. A-10 against A-4. With a board KJ-6 to 5-J would have been almost a split pot, but only almost.

Thorsten Schwellinger started the Heads up with 200K chips against 1.600K chips and still won the first of six weeks, bank Tournaments in the Rhine ® Card Poker Club. He and his two companions, and Gregor Poßberg, now fly in October Rhine Poker ® team to Dublin to attend two tournaments in Fitzwilliam Card Club.

Each player receives individual cards, starting with the player left of the dealer button. The player with the lowest “Door Card” must then carry-in and pay the other players acting in a clockwise direction. In Texas Holdem rules, each player has the ability to:

1st Fold,
2nd Bring-In the call,
3rd To raise (in the first Betting Round will be the first Raise a “completion” and will not be viewed as a Raise).

* Each player receives 3 cards, two masked and visible for all other players (those visible card called the “Door Card”). The player with the lowest Door Card must have a Bring-in pay (if two or more players have the same low card determines the color of the card. Cross is the lowest color, then hearts, diamonds and, ultimately, Spades). The height of the Bring-in depends on the limit from the game.

* The next card will also be distributed discovered and is known as “4th Street”. The player with the highest detected 2 cards as the first. This player has the option 1) to check, 2) a small amount to put 3) a large amount must be set. Example: $ 4 – $ 8 Stud player A has the highest uncovered maps and 2 can now check, $ 4 or $ 8 set. If Player A $ 4 Law, Player B can now either fold, call, at $ 12 increase or at $ 8 increase.

* The next card, again revealed, is known as the “5th Street”. If a player wants to put here, he must put the large amount.

* The next card, also revealed, is called “6th Street” and apply the same rules as for “5th Street”.

* The final map will be distributed and hidden is called “7th Street”. Again the same rules apply as for 5th Street

At the end wins the player with the best 5 cards. Aces may be as high and low apply

At the end, players all 5 of their 7 cards for their high-handed, and all 5 of their 7 cards for their low-hand use. Aces count as high and as low

Texas Holdem 8 or Better

7 Card Stud 8 or better or 7 card stud hi / lo as it usually called, is just like 7 Card Stud, the only player with a low and with a high hand can win. For the low-hand needs a player here, however, as in Omaha 8 or better, 5 card with a value of 8 or less. Any 5 cards may be used for the low, and all 5 for the high-hand use.
