Full Tilt Poker Grand Jury Investigation
It has been reported that a federal grand jury in Manhattan is investigating Full Tilt Poker. Allegations of money laundering violations seem to be one of the biggest concerns according to information in an article in the Financial Times. Chris Ferguson and Howard Lederer seem to have been specifically targeted by this probe and could possibly face indictments.
A company spokesperson for Full Tilt Poker said that reports by Financial Times regarding an alleged Manhattan grand jury investigation is news to them. “We are not aware of any grand jury investigation of Tiltware or any related individual or entity, and the company’s position is that it has done nothing wrong. We are not going to comment about a speculative grand jury investigation that we are not aware of and we have no idea what, if anything, they are investigating.”
Kentucky Tries a New Angle on Legal Issues with Online Gambling Domains
Kentucky has been in the news in regard to their attempt to seize 141 online gambling domains and now it seems they are also trying a new angle. They are claiming that Pocket Kings owes them monies “lost between March 25, 2005 and September 25, 2009 by persons located within the borders of Kentucky.”
Pocket Kings is the owner and operator of Full Tilt Poker, which is one of the domains being targeted. The court filing calls for Pocket Kings to refund the state of Kentucky “the amount of money lost between March 25, 2005 and September 25, 2009 by persons located within the borders of Kentucky,” as well as any legal costs.
It has been recently announced that they have decided to sue Full Tilt Poker and other online poker sites including Absolute Poker, UltimateBet, Doyles Room, PokerStars to name just a few.
“The Full Tilt Defendants have done, or have caused to be done, tortuous acts in the Commonwealth for which the Commonwealth has a substantial and compelling interest in exercising personal jurisdiction,” the comlaint says, using an oral statement made by the IGC before an earlier court of appeals hearing that over 13,000 people in Kentucky play online poker.
An Online Poker Player’s Feelings on the Legal Issues with Online Gambling
The United States really needs to get a grip when it comes to regulating online gambling, especially poker. These claims and allegations seem to be a way for states facing huge deficits to try and fleece some money from online poker sites to try and plug the holes in their budgets. These are frivolous claims as far as I am concerned and it will not stop me from logging on to PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker or PDC Poker anytime I may be in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
If you are an online poker player, do not let these states influence how you feel you should use your hard earned money. I believe that sites such as PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker and PDC Poker should be applauded for continuing to allow players from the U.S. to play poker for real money on their sites. Be assured that you can continue to deposit and withdraw real money from these sites as well as several others including UltimateBet.
Stand up for your right to use your cash the way you want to. If you are an online poker player, join the Poker Player’s Alliance now. Then contact your local U.S. Senators and Congressman and tell them to support poker.

Full Tilt Poker has recently started to offer an innovative online version called Rush Poker. This new style of poker seems to be perfect for today’s generation of Internet players.
When playing at a Rush Poker table, players are instantly moved to another table after folding their hand. The player will find different starting cards, a new position, and different opponents.
In addition to speeding up play, it seems virtually impossible that there could be cheating or collusion because of the constant changes in opponents, hands and scenarios.
Full Tilt Poker is currently offering the new brand of poker as a no-limit Hold’em cash game at short handed tables or full tables. They have recently added pot-limit Omaha games also.

The Kentucky Supreme Court issued a non-ruling on the 141 Internet gambling-related damin names the state attempted to seize. The Supreme Court officially reversed the Court of Appeals ruling in favor of the Interactive Media Entertainment and Gaming Association and Interactive Gaming Council, but only temporarily.
The court ruled that iMEGA and IGC did not demonstrate standing to litigate on behalf of anonymous domain registrants. An individual who owns one of the companies that is a member of one of the associations must step forward and admit ownership to one of the domain names. iMEGA and IGC have 20 days to refile with the Kentucky Court of Appeals and present an affadavit from an individual stating that he is a member of one of the associations and that the association has the right to represent him.
The ruling in this specific case, where there is a finite number of 141 injured parties, iMEGA is not representing the industry as a whole but these specific injured parties. So one of the individuals has to admit ownership of a company associated with iMEGA.
iMEGA chairman Joe Brennan Jr. offered this statement. “Our thing has been since we sued the federal government not once but three times, it’s no small thing to do something like that,” Brennan said. “From the beginning, the reason we kept company names confidential is we didn’t want to make anyone a target for some retaliatory investigation. We didn’t want to put anyone in the position to be on the defense because of that. Up until now, that kind of representation has been OK with the federal courts.”
Want to stop the rednecks in Kentucky from telling you that you can not play on PokerStars or Full Tilt Poker? Join the Poker Players Alliance today, and write to your local representative.

Keeping the Pot Small by Jennifer Harman
Jennifer Harman - Full Tilt Poker Pro
Poker is a game of decisions. Some decisions are very easy to make, while others will keep you awake all night if you choose poorly. In my experience, the larger the pot size, the harder the decision you’ll be faced with.
On the other hand, the smaller the pot is, the easier the decision. Which is why, especially in tournament play, you want to keep the pot small when you’re holding a marginal hand. You don’t want to be facing a decision for all of your chips in a situation where all you’ve got is something like top pair with a medium-strength kicker. You want to avoid that scenario as much as possible. It’s better to keep the pot small by checking and calling rather than building a huge pot, even if you do hold an advantage in that hand.
Let me give you an example from a hand I played at a World Series of Poker event last year. We were still fairly early in the tournament, and I was in the cut-off (the seat before the button) holding K-J. The action folded around to me, I put in a raise and was called by the button. Both blinds folded, and we were heads-up going to the flop.
The flop came J-9-3 with two diamonds. Yes, I had top pair with a strong kicker, but with straight and flush draws on the board I was in no mood to go crazy with my hand. So I checked, and the button bet about two-thirds of the pot.
A check could also tempt my opponent to bluff in this spot, especially if he put me on something like A-K or A-Q. With a bluff or a drawing hand being the button’s most likely holding, I made the call.
The turn was a harmless 5, not a diamond, and very unlikely to help out the button in any way. Once again, I decided to control the size of the pot and keep it small by checking. If I’d bet and the button had a monster draw, there’s a good chance he’d come over the top of my bet to try and push me off the pot. I liked my hand there, just not enough to go broke with it.
After I checked, the button put in another bet, which I called. The river was a non-diamond 2, meaning that neither the flush draw or the straight draw got there. Confident that I had the best hand at this point, I still decided to check the river.
Why? Well, there was a small chance the button had made a set or two pair somewhere along the way, and it’s better to check-call in that spot rather than face a tough decision for a lot of chips if he raises. Also, if he did have nothing but air, checking might induce a bluff on the river.
As it turned out, the button checked behind me and I took down the pot with my K-J. I didn’t win a big pot with that hand, but I also didn’t lose a huge pot. The decisions I faced on each street were made much easier by the fact that I kept the pot small.

Isildur1 has been one of the most talked about online players so far this year. After winning about $526,000 over this past weekend, Isildur1 played against Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies.
Sahamies lost over $487,000 against Isildur1 while playing $300/$600 Pot Limit Omaha on Full Tilt. They played PLO for approximately 450 hands. They then decided to face off at the $500/$1,000 Pot Limit Omaha tables and played for about 40 minutes.
After 259 hands Sahamies signed off and was down another $290,000. After Sahamies left, Isildur1 played $200/$400 No Limit Holdem versus Justin “ZeeJustin” Bonomo. Bonomo wound up taking about $187,000 from Isildur1 after 791 hands.
Next, Isildur1 faced off against both Cole South and Brian Hastings. South lost $334,000 after 825 hands, and Hastings ended up about $330,000 after 224 hands. They were playing $300/$600 Pot Limit Omaha.
