PokerNews’ Chad Holloway’s Tips for WSOP Beginner

In summer, everyone Poker player will be packing their bags and moving to Las Vegas for the big event, World Series of Poker. But if you are a beginner and going to play on WSOP, the tips offered by Chad Holloway can help you a lot to take home the gold bracelet.  Endurance is something that you must have in order to stand tall for long days of Poker.

PokerNews’ Chad Holloway says, “There were plenty of key moments that helped propel me to a WSOP gold bracelet, but one in particular really set me on the right course. After making a mistake (in which I doubled up an opponent after calling too light for too many chips), I was beginning to feel that rage we call “tilt” boiling up in the pit of my stomach. I know myself, and had it boiled over I would have punted off my stack and been heading back to the hotel well short of the money.”

He continues, “Fortunately, I happened to be reading a magazine article about Robert Downey, Jr. at that time. Here was a man that had made his fair share of mistakes in life, but was experiencing career revitalization thanks to the success of the Iron Man films. In the interview Downey said something regarding past mistakes: “I stopped worrying about fixing things and just dealt with what was right in front of me. The bouncing ball of the moment.” I don’t know why, but that was exactly what I needed to hear. I calmed down, reflected upon those words, and before long my stack was bigger than it was before. Throughout the rest of the tournament I kept the “bouncing ball” in the forefront of my mind, and lo and behold I went on to win. All I can say now is, “Thanks, Iron Man!”

So, as he says, go for the future instead of bad past moves you have made. Also, don’t let worry take your confidence at the WSOP tables.

Poker Pro Phil Ivey Loses 7.7 Million in Court Battle

Phil Ivey, a Poker professional whose money worth 7.7 million out of his winning of 12.4 million was withstand with Crockfords Casino will not be getting the amount as the a High Court in London has taken decision in favor of the Casino. Phil Ivey has won the cash prize of 12.4 million in August 2012 playing Punto Banco, a variant of Baccarat which is a common casino game.

The judge has decided him saying, he has used “edge sorting” a technique which is used by pro players to read the cards from the backside comparing the tiny variations in each of them. This is cheating under civil law and therefore he will not be getting any amount that the Genting-owned casino refused to pay earlier.

Ivey had filed a complaint against the Casino on High Court of England on May 7th 2013.The trial began on Monday and Ivey said that it he was not treated well by the casinos when he became the winner.  John Mitting, the Judge of the High Court of England said “He gave himself an advantage which the game precludes. This is in my view cheating.”

After the trial, Ivey also gave a statement saying “I believe that what we did was a legitimate strategy and we did nothing more than exploit Crockfords' failures to take proper steps to protect themselves against a player of my ability." He continues saying “Clearly today the judge did not agree."

Ivey’s attorney has lost the court battle this time but they can appeal again in Appellate Court.
