Bodog! All right, Iming out with a rmendation here. Oh, Ill probablye out with more than one as we go forward into this new online poker world. But right now online poker players are hurting for a place to play. At least we are in the United States. Weve lost PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker. And bets are off on those two ever returning to the US market. As for UB and Absolute Poker, well, odds are that those two wont even survive for players in the European market. Theyre up against strongpetition over there with sites like Party Poker and PKR poker, which keeps winning awards.

The Bellagio was quite busy Wednesday with the debut of the World Poker Tour’s first Super High Roller event in Las Vegas. A field of 29 players put up the $100,000 buy-in to participate in the televised tournament that featured some of the biggest stars in the game. Only 17 of the 29 players survived Day 1 action and Justin Bonomo left for the night with the biggest chip stack and his eyes on the $1 million top prize.
Bonomo leads the second-place stack of Vivek Rajkumar by more than 20 big blinds. Rajkumar has a tiny lead over Erik Lindgren, and after those three, there’s nobody close. John Morgan, sitting in fourth place, is down nearly 60 big blinds to Lindgren and is up four big blinds on Randy Dorfman. Read full post…
