As webmaster at 4kingpoker I didn't think it fair to count my points in the league - But just for the record I scored a total of 61pts technically winning the league - I'm not going to be a tight ass and award 1/2 the prize money for myself ;-)
Doyle Brunson Arrest Rumour - False
The internet stikes again on the spurious and unfounded rumour mongering front - This time generating traffic for forum sites NWP & others with rumours that Doyle Brunson had been arrested. Proving to be hot air hours later it's yet another great lesson in internet marketing or a good example of why citizen journalism & blogging is unlikely to provide us with authoritive or factual information on the world around us.
Not wishing to further add further to what must have been a storm of traffic & some nice backlinks I will instead point you to another poker webmaster who made some sense of the whole thing and shot the right holes in the rumours - Thank God there are some people who actually question what they read
The truth about the rumoured Doyle Brunson arrest.
And for those of you who just can't resist blatant link bait check these out entertaining yet journalistically challenged poker stories -

4kingpoker Losses
Not much to report this week, I haven't played much but this seems to have created a new problem -
Now I'm trying to get 2 hours worth of play into an hour sat at the table - Which unsuprisingly leads to me having a personal % to the flop ratio which must be in the high 90% range -
Clearly stupid, clearly unsustainable, clearly not a winning strategy.
I've always maintained that playing tight rock & only the top few hands won't lead to riches as everyone can see you waiting for AA a mile off but I've taken loose aggressive to new levels ...
You need to create uncertainty in your oppositions minds
Not get them thinking "IS THIS GUY EVER GOING TO FOLD ?"
Next week - Playing an hours worth of poker in an hour (no more no less).
Tony G Poker closes to US players
Tony G Poker has announced it is closed to US poker players.
This is a great shame and something Tony G has said he is personally gutted about. It should be noted that they're making every effort to make sure their exiting US players are able to transfer funds to other US friendly sites - Tony G might be mean on the table but he's proving to be a top man away from the table. With such a big personality (infamous in all the right ways) I think his site deserves to survive & thrive from non US players supporting the site.
Sign-up using 4kingpoker's links for a 200% Tony G Poker Bonus up to $400 - Tony G Poker is a small site on the relatively new Skill Games Network but the software is decent, has some great overlays in the tournaments & some nice promotions -
Knock out Tony G and get a bounty of $100 (Screen name "Loudmouth" & he plays as alot at all limits), $3000 Bad Beat Jackpot & Weekly $2000 Freeroll.

Neteller Closes to US Poker Players
Neteller has offically announced it has closed payment processing for US poker players. After arrests under the WIRE act & UIGEA bill in America.
FirePay have also ammounced they are alos withdrawing from the US Market.
Neteller Statement
Don't panic - Money is safe and sites are providing other eWallets & processors.
Other US / American online poker deposit & payment options
It's going to be a while before the full impact of Neteller withdrawing tranfers to online poker sites for US players. But sites are bringing in other eWallet options - Bodog Poker for example are offering two new methods eWalletXpress & NuCharge.
Information on how other payment processors plan to approach the Neteller news is coming through and new payment methods are being added on a regalar basis. We will update information as it is confirmed by the poker sites.
In the same way the signing of the UIGEA put everyone in a spin and running around like headless chickens - Neteller's withdrawl and the US putting pressure on the banking institutions is bound to make more waves through online poker.

4kingpoker Losses
My run at Poker.com has come to a disapointing end yet again. I was massively up at one stage and then down to showing a modest 2x profit. A nice steady session clawed back up another $400 which went in the space of 4 or 5 bad beat hands - I had KK crushed by AK for $100+ all-in (preflop) which was just the start of the stats defying run.
A few hands later I had a King high flush draw (diamonds) on the flop, hit a king on the turn. Figuring I was ahead with top pair (I was) and a good flush draw I decided to get the other player committed to an all-in, he calls with just an ace of diamonds (nothing paired etc) and of course the diamond hits on the river - The bad beats just kept coming and a $400 profit on the session turned into a crippling $600 loss which now puts me down to under $50.
