Las Vegas: How to Have Non Gambling Related Fun
Last month, my wife, Anne Doe, took me to Las Vegas because she had to go for a business convention. Needless to say, she writes for an guide to casinos and I hate gambling. But then, she likes it and this supports us too, so I went along without any hassle. At first I was depressed, but then as I asked around and looked around, I ended up having more fun in Las Vegas than I would have thought. And no. I did not enter a single casino while I was there.
The Best Poker Players Of All Time
The best of anything is a matter of opinion and perspective, and this is absolutely true when trying to decide who are the best poker players. This also has to be broken into tournament play, cash game play, and the type of poker game. Some poker players are great in certain games like Holdem and not so great in other games. According to what is said about Chip Reese, the great poker player, many professionals think he would be the choice, even though his WSOP wins are not as prolific as Brunson, Chan, and Hellmuth. However, Reese won three WSOP tournaments before his death in 2007. In 2006, Reese won the prestigious $50,000 Buy-in Horse Tournament at the WSOP.

Déjà Vu as UltimateBet Legend Pops Second Bad Beat Jackpot at Online Poker Site
Miami, FL (PRWEB) May 12, 2008 -- An online poker player from Alaska has defied the odds by hitting two Bad Beat Jackpots at UltimateBet within a span of less than three months.
"Bad Beat Jackpot continues to excite members of the online poker community by showing them that anything is possible at our Texas Hold'em tables," stated UltimateBet spokesperson George MacLean.
On Tuesday, May 6th at 3:03am ET, an online poker player with the moniker dhc2lovr popped UltimateBet's Bad Beat Jackpot by losing with four tens to four queens in a hand of Texas Hold'em. The jackpot had climbed to an impressive $448,920.71. For his win, dhc2lovr secured $145,899.23 and 117 other UltimateBet players shared an additional $145,899.23, including the winner of the hand who walked away with $72,949.61.
It wasn't the first time that dhc2lovr had found success playing Bad Beat Jackpot (http://www.ultimatebet.com/poker-promotion/bad-beat-jackpot). On March 25th at 2:48am ET, dhc2lovr popped his first Bad Beat Jackpot to the tune of $171,498.31.
According to a standard security review undertaken by UltimateBet's fraud department, dhc2lovr has been a frequent player at the online poker site's Texas Hold'em tables since December 2005 and holds an Ultimate Legend status, one of the top tiers of RAI$E (http://www.ultimatebet.com/poker-rewards-loyalty-program), UltimateBet's lucrative loyalty program.
Ultimate Legends must earn 2,500 RAI$E Status Points per month by playing online poker in order to maintain their RAI$E status. Dhc2lovr's Ultimate Legend status indicates that he takes poker extremely seriously and is a frequent player at UltimateBet. MacLean notes that those who play at more Bad Beat Jackpot tables more often will have more opportunity to be at a table when a Bad Beat Jackpot is hit.
"I had won a bad beat before but I really didn't feel there was any reason why I couldn't win again," says dhc2lovr. "I felt I had the same chances as anyone else to win and the fact that I had won it before made no difference."
Bad Beat Jackpot is just like traditional Texas Hold'em poker with an added jackpot component. In addition to rake, $0.50 is collected from qualifying poker hands and placed into a constantly growing pot until someone hits the jackpot.
When a player loses a hand with four 8s or anything better, 65% of the jackpot is divided among Bad Beat Jackpot players (25% remains in the pot for the next jackpot and 10% is dedicated towards administrative fees). All players seated at a Bad Beat Jackpot table featuring the same limit and game type as where the bad beat occurred also win a piece of the jackpot.
