There's a winner in every Race......

That's the advice I was given at the Racecourse last Saturday when I went. Problem was, I didn't find any winners. Every time I backed a horse to win, it would run second. Every time I backed a horse for a place, it would run fourth. Needless to say, I swiped the ol' credit card that many times it was starting to melt into a different shape by the end of the day - not good. Going to regret that later in the month.

If you've noticed, Prima are giving away seats to the "Aussie Millions" in January. I think the whole package is worth about $12.5k, not bad at all. If any player wins a seat through any of our Poker Rooms, I'm going to give away........"A day in Melbourne with Dave Casey". That's right, we can do what ever the hell you like. I've only been to Melbourne a couple of times, so should be interesting to see some of the sites. So everything will be paid for, Breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as any tours or events we partake in, all courtesy of Poker Rewards.

So get in there and win your seat through our Poker Rooms, would be awesome to catch up with someone down there.

All the best....Regards,

Dave

Favourite Poker Player?

I have to say Phil Ivey.....The guy is a machine. Take a look at how he plays this hand. Would you have had the balls (sorry ladies - if any actually do read this) to call him?

Look at Phils face, if you can pick a hint of emotion or anything for that matter from it, you're a hell of a better judge than me.

I won't say what happens (although most probably know). Have a bo peep.

Thanks.

The ups and downs of Poker

Isn't amazing the swings you have in Poker....I had a dream run last week, cashed out and left a hefty balance to play with. But this week, jeez, I've had the worst run anyone can imagine. I've even got a witness to back these claims up. I mean getting beaten on the river is one thing, but to have it happen about 5 times in one sitting is demoralizing. To see Ace/Ace get beat twice during this low point was horrendous.

As they say though, you have to take the good with the bad......"They" can be quite intuitive at times :)

Good luck!!

Dave

WSOP Game

Is there any truth to the rumor that Jamie Gold (current chip leader) is going to donate any winnings to charity?

I've just heard this down the grapevine that's all. If anyone can find out, let me know.

Thanks.

Didn't do to well in the Almost Freeroll

Well, I didn't do too well in the Tourney we had earlier. I went all-in with 9-9, the guy 3 hands down calls and flips over A-A, I'm trying to be positive and think, I may still have a slight chance.....That's when the flop came out, A-J-6. Yeeesss!!! I'm gone :)

That's me being sarky by the way.

Catch ya's soon.

Whoop ass time....Well I hope so anyway :)

G'day all,

I'm chucking a $50 bounty on my head tomorrow night and also giving away $5 to anyone I dispose of in the Poker Rewards "Almost Freeroll", remember, you can actually play in this game through any of these poker rooms:

Captain Cooks Poker
Poker Rewards
Golden Tiger Poker
Aztec Riches Poker
Virtual City Poker

So for a piece of the $500 cake, get ya butt in there and try and take me down......Honestly though, we barely get 100 players to these games, so the chances of picking up some cash are really good. Just about every week I'll post one of these games up. It's a great way to better your tournament play, as well as meet the local guns that show up pretty much week to week (yeah, you guys know who you are ;-).

Hey, I'm even going to buy some Poker books in the next few weeks and give them away in the Freerolls, so keep an eye out for those bad boys.

I'll leave you with this quote from a great Australian sportsmen.......I think it could even be translated across to Poker.

"The time your game is most vulnerable is when you're ahead......Never let up"

Cya's tomorrow night at one of our Poker Rooms.

Dave Casey
