HIGHHEELSPOKERTOUR MAKING WOMEN’S PRESENCE KNOWN AT THE WSOP
The Rio All-Suites Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas
June 9th , 2010

Ft. Lauderdale, FL (April 8, 2010) – The High Heels Poker Tour (HHPT) will be hosting the first ever hospitality suite devoted specifically to women’s poker during the WSOP Ladies week June 9th-11th. During the three days HHPT along with other female focused poker companies and organizations will be catering to the women who come to the WSOP; located in Brasila 5 at the RIO Hotel and Suites in Las Vegas. Women will be able to come and interact with the HHPTA Poker Pros, relax and enjoy refreshments, network with other players, and explore some of the corporations and organizations that cater to or are owned by women. Some of the organizations and corporations participating are; PMS PokerWear.com, PokerJetsetter.com, Card Player Cruises, Susie Isaacs books and products, Pink Ladies PT and others.

The hospitality suite will be open from 10am-10pm for the three days and is complimentary. It will be closed to the public on June 10th until 5pm when the HighHeelsPokerTour Academy will be offering their annual Ladies Academy in preparation for the $1,000 Ladies Event held the following day at the RIO.

This is the first time an organization has focused on the women who play poker during poker’s most prestigious event season. Women are the fastest growing poker demographic and are ready to be heard, seen, and respected as a force to be reckoned with in the poker community.

Along with the HHPT Hospitality Suite and Academy, the HHPT is running 2 tournaments for the women during Ladies Week both being held @ The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino: June 10th @ 7 pm, $125 buy-in sit-n-go extravaganza to win a seat to the $1,000 Ladies Event on June 11th @ The RIO, and June 12th both HHPT and Pink Ladies Poker Tour are co-sponsoring a ladies event together.

Poker Tips from the Pros – Keeping the Pot Small by Jennifer Harman

Keeping the Pot Small by Jennifer Harman

Jennifer Harman Full Tilt Poker

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.

Daniel Negreanu Rates the World’s Top Ten Toughest Tournaments

Friday, March 12th, 2010

Daniel Negreanu posted a recent blog entry where he gives his opinion on what is the world’s toughest poker tournaments.

He has stated that the number one variable in determining the toughest tournaments are the strength of field. The second variable of importance is tournament structure, and finally a third important factor, but to a much lesser degree, is field size. Generally speaking, the larger the field, the more likely that the level of skill drops.

Here is a list of the Top Ten Toughest Tournaments in the World according to Daniel Negreanu:

10 – WPT LA Poker Classic

9 – PokerStars Caribbean Adventure

8 – $10,000 No Limit Hold’em WSOP Heads Up Championship

7 – PokerStars EPT Grand Final

6 – WSOP Main Event

5 – WPT Championship

4 – PokerStars NAPT Bounty Shootouts

3 – WSOP Europe Main Event

2 – $25,000 WSOP 6 Handed No Limit Hold’em Event

1 – $50,000 WSOP Players Championship

Notice that the WSOP Main Event is not in the Top 5? That is a rough spot to put the Main Event, but Negreanu is right that there are tons of qualifiers in this event. But, let’s not forget that everyone who is a poker professional is also at the WSOP Main Event.

World Series of Poker Europe Finale on ESPN2 Sunday

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

ESPN2 will air the two-hour conclusion of the World Series of Poker Europe on Sunday, Feb. 28, at 9 p.m. From a field of 334, just nine players remain, and legends and amateurs have come and gone. The final nine is headlined by Daniel Negreanu, as well as James Akenhead and Antoine Saout — members of the 2009 November Nine in Las Vegas. Perhaps the biggest story is 23-year-old Florida pro Jason Mercier, who owned Day 4 and brought a quarter of the chips to the final table.

In the final hour, only four players remain in contention for the coveted bracelet and nearly $1.3 million prize. The action will begin with the fairly even chip stacks, but from the start, it’s clear that two players have brought their “A” game when it matters most.

World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE) on ESPN2 – Feb 14-Feb 15

Friday, February 12th, 2010

Here’s what is coming up on World Series of Poker Europe on ESPN2

Feb 14, at 11 p.m. ET

Up until this point, it has been a World Series of Poker Europe Main Event to remember. Big names have busted out: Phil Ivey, Barry Greenstein, Chris Ferguson, big names remain: Daniel Negreanu, Doyle Brunson, John Juanda, and there has been one big entrance: Phil Hellmuth.

In this episode, the field plays down from 94 players to 36, when the players start making the money. The player who finishes 37th goes home with nothing but a memory.

At this stage of the tournament the chip leaders all come from Europe, and some surprising names are at the top.

The top two on the leaderboard are amateur Ian Munns and local pro Praz Bansi. They’ll start the day at the featured table, improbably, sitting side by side. David Docherty is also in the top five, riding a hot streak that could propel the 22-year-old to the final table. We’ll learn more about him and some of his personal struggles in this episode.

Once again, the great poker shines through in this episode as the players look to turn their ₤10,000 buy-in into a bracelet and a big payday.

Feb 15 at Midnight ET

With the 36 remaining players all safely in the money, the focus turns to making the final table. Only nine players will be able to do that. With such a stacked field, it won’t be easy.

There are a few key emerging stories from this Main Event. James Akenhead and Antoine Saout, two members of poker’s prestigious “November Nine” in Las Vegas are back in the hunt. Both made it to the money in London and have their sights set on a repeat final table.

Kid Poker, Daniel Negreanu, overcame a rough start to make Day 4. Will he continue his impressive comeback? We’ll follow that closely.

And with John Juanda and Annette Obrestad gone on Day 4, there will be a new champion. Will it be Matt Hawrilenko, the Princeton grad who leads the pack on Day 4? Or will someone else emerge? After this hour, we’ll have a much better idea of who will make history.

Feb 15 at 1 a.m. ET

Hour 8 picks up the action midway through Day 4. Eighteen players have been eliminated, and just nine more need to go before the final nine are set.

Jason Mercier, who had a terrific Day 1, was up to his old tricks again on Day 4. Also remaining: James Akenhead and Antoine Saout. Just nine eliminations stand between them and history. Last year, Ivan Demidov made both final tables. This time, Akenhead and Saout would threaten to do it again, an unbelievable story that reaches its conclusion in this hour.

Of the remaining 18, there is one notable amateur in the field: Teddy Sheringham, a former Manchester United star and one of Britain’s most famous soccer players. And the legend, Doyle Brunson, is still in the mix, too. It truly is a loaded field as this group of 18 battles for a final table appearance.
