The Death of Poker Media?

Proof That Online Poker Is Rigged!
Zynga Ready for Real Money Gaming or Trying to Hide Failures?Last night was the big company Xmas bash. Some readers may find this hard to believe but once I found the bar I didn’t leave; even for dinner. A bunch of us headed over to the casino afterward and hit the -EV games.
I bought in at a £5 table for £100 and felt shortstacked as everyone around me was buying in for £300 and £400. After donking off about £50 I went to the cage and bought in for another £300 which they gave to me in those cool little rectangle cheques.
It was late and the casino was near closing (4am) when I went on my run. I ran that remaining £50 from the first buyin into about $350. I gave about £50 of it back when the dealer called “Last Hand.” I put £100 out there and watched as the dealer got blackjack and sent us packing on a losing note. Still, I ended up £200 (about $392) which puts be about back even. Obviously the first session at the casino was a complete fluke and really my fault because I hadn’t properly put myself into a -EV mindset.
WINNING BLACKJACK TIP: If you play a –EV game while in a –EV mental state (completely ripped) you have a massively positive expectation due to the fact that two negatives equal a positive.
-EV Black Jack * -EV Mental State = +EV

Hi, my name is Bill Rini and this is my poker blog. I've been blogging about poker and the poker industry since around 2003-ish. Like most people I started out playing poker as entertainment in home games whenever we wanted to sit around and smoke cigars, drink beer, and eat pizza, and needed a good excuse. I started playing online shortly after the first online card rooms opened and it wasn't long before I was playing 20, 30, or even 40 hours a week or more. One day I received a phone call about a program manager position at Tiltware which was the company that consulted to Full Tilt Poker on software development and marketing. After Tiltware I spent about 2.5 years working at Party Poker where I was the poker room manager.
