New Online Poker League at PartyPoker

Hey all,
I'd like to share some exciting news today!

As some of you may already know, I've recently shifted my main poker grind to PartyPoker.

The main reason why I did that is that I really like their short handed (6 man) Sit and Go structure with 2000 starting stack and 12 minute blinds. From all sites I've played on those return the best EV and ROI for me.

You should check them SnG's out.

However, through my work in Gibraltar I happen to know one of the PartyPoker Affiliate Managers and we've met a few weeks ago to chat about creating a new online poker league on PartyPoker in coopeartion with HoldemManager and CardRunners.

Cocktail - Basil and Edelflower Collin

Today we're going to make ourself a nice and refreshing "Basil and Edelflower Cocktail". Normally you would need some edelflower lemonade to make this but if you can't get your hands on it, some Fanta Lemon will do the trick too.

Fill a big tumbler to the top with ice and add:

5 Basil leaves
5 cl Smirnoff Vodka
2 cl Sugar Sirup
2 ½ cl Fresh Lime Juice

I recomment making your own fresh lime juice instead of uisng industrial produced juice. You and your friends will appreciate the difference and freshness.


Shake the whole mix well, pour back to your tumbler and top it up with Fanta Lemon. Garnish with a slice of lime and a basil leave and serve with cocktail straws or cut straws.

That's it, enjoy your cocktail!

PartyPoker is offering a sick 200% first deposit bonus in December of up to $200.

This bonus is part of the ongoing Aussie Millions Promotion for which satellites are already running on PartyPoker. You can now win your luxury package to the 2012 Aussie Millions and PartyPoker will send you down under to play for Australia’s biggest poker prize – all for free. You’ll get flights, hotel accommodation, and spending money too.

Get started now!
Make a first deposit of at least $25 and PartyPoker will offer you a special 200% up to $200.00 USD first deposit bonus using the bonus code AUSS200. Download the PartyPoker Software to start yoru journey.

Enjoy the ride and good luck,
Your Wisecapra aka HammerMan

Cocktail - Espresso Martini

It's been a while since I posted one of my cocktails. So here we go, today we'll make ourself a "Espresso Martini". This is the perfect cocktail to offer your friends or guests after the dinner. Great alternative to the ordinary Espresso or Coffee.

Chill Y-Glass with ice, fill big tumbler with ice and add:

4 cl Smirnoff Vodka
2 cl Galliano
2 cl Sugar-Sirup
1 Double Espresso (two)

Shake all ingredients very well and pour to Y-Glass. Grate some chocolate over the top, garnish with 2-3 coffee beans and serve.


The mixture of vodka, galliano and espresso mix make this cocktail a perfect final for a great dinner.

Ohh and please remember.. it's always Espresso, never Expresso. ;)

Cocktail - Passion Fruit Chili Mint Margarita

Today's cocktail is definitely one of my favorites and I higly recommend giving this a try. If you like passion fruit, the taste of refreshing mint with a tickle of spice, then this is the cocktail you been looking for. Depending on how spicy you like it you can vary the amount of chilli you use when mixing this up.

Add ½ chilli and 1 cl fresh lime juice to your highball glass or tumbler and squash it well. Leave it to settle and pour the following to your blender which contains the ice:

4 cl White Tequilla
3 cl Triple Sec
3 cl Monin Passion Sirup
3 cl Fresh Lime Juice
1 Small hand of mint leaves


Blend all ingreidents well and pour back to small tumbler. The Margarita needs to be slush like a frozen Daiquiri. Garnish with some lime & mint, cut straws and serve. For a light twist in taste you could add a splash of ginger puree to the mix. Tastes lovely!

Cocktail - Sex on the Beach

As per a special request I've decided to put the famous Sex on the Beach up today. Certainly one of the most popular cocktails around the world and the perfect summer drink.

Fill a big tumbler with ice and add:

4cl Smirnoff Vodka
3cl Archers (Peach Shnaps)
1cl Casis
Fill with Orange Juice and shake well.

Pour back to tumbler and top up with Granbery Juice, garnish with a slice of orange or lime and some fresh mint leave.



Enjoy this lovely drink but don't stay in the sun after a couple of those!! ;)

PokerGob.com Partners with new 3D Poker Site

Hey guys,
some exciting news on PokerGob and the GobForum. PokerGob has partnered up with Betsharks.com - a brand new 3D Poker Site. Now, this has been in the works for a long time and the recent "Black Friday" events made all of us on PokerGob run very scared about the hard work running into cold water.

However, it's all good and it's now official that PokerGob joined forces with Betsharks. Now, what does it mean? Well for one, our new league will run exclusive on Betsharks.com with great spcecials and prizes coming up! We're hoping that we'll be able to have our first "firendly" tournaments by the end of this week. All Gobheadz are welcome to join the first tournament on the new site. Please check out the GobForum for details.

There is so much more to say.. but I haven't been sleeping much after doing all the updates on the PokerGob to reflect the new partnership. However, I posted a lot more info already on the GobForum - so head over there to find out more. One thing I need to add though.

Poker Site PKR reassures legality of their operations

If you haven't heard about the online poker worlds "black friday" yet, you've missed some dramatic news over the weekend. The US DoJ has shut down operations of major poker sites and seized their domains. See my other blogs for more info.

The above events have have lead to poker players from around the world running scared about their bankrolls and placing withdrawl requests to get their bankrolls out. This also affects sites not pursued by the DoJ indictment. Personally I think players are over reacting. Poker sites like PKR - Let's Play or 888poker have clearly stayed out of the US market, not allowing US residents to play on their cash tables.

PKR released a statement today to reassure their clients that their funds are save and that it will be business as usual for all PKR players. The indictment on PokerStars and Full Tilt does not affect PKR at all apart from a lot of new users registering now, after they've lost confidence in "the big guns" of the online poker world.

888poker Doubling Guaranteed Tournament Prizepools!

888poker, formerly Pacific Poker, has annouced tha tthey are doubling up all their guaranteed tournament prizepools! 888poker’s continued commitment to the new "we play different" strategy and focus on customer safety and experience is gaining momentum with online poker players and liquidity has increased by 45% and still growing rapidly.

 To keep up with the growth, 888poker has doubled  their major guaranteed tournaments including the Sunday Challenge which is now a staggering $100,000 guaranteed. Satellites for the Sunday Challenge run from $8 or players can buy-in directly for $80 for a chance to win their share of the $100,000 prizepool.

PokerStars and FullTilt Poker updates

Getting busy around my little blog for a change. No surprise, the recent poker news are now already being tagged as the "Black Friday" in online poker. PokerStars and FullTilt are now showing updated messages to their users, what you make of those?

PokerStars:

I like the part where it says "...due to developements beyond our control..." does this mean that PokerStars didn't know they are breaking the law in the US by offering deposit gateways working around local restrictions? In my personal opinion the statement as such is a joke. The same goes for "...for all customers outside the US it is business as usual...". This is just crap too, it can't be business as usual cause a large number of PokerStars players running scared about their bankroll.

888poker PR Manager comments on the recent poker news

Now that was one exiting night!

In case you've missed it, the F.B.I. and District Attorney seized several domains of major poker sites in the US. The companies in questions have been charged with multiple offences including money laundering, racketeering and breaking US laws.

All them news are rather disturbing. I feel sorry for my poker friends withing the US for basically being locked out of online poker from one day to the other. It's also said that sites like Full Tilt are already declining withdraw requests which leads to non US based players being a little scared too. The run for the banks has begun and a lot of players are uncomfortable keeping their money in their accounts on the affected poker sites.

Shortly after the news cracked 888poker PR Manager Jen published this blog on my888poker.com. 888poker.com has been known to be very strict to operate within their legal boundaries, here an extract of Jen's blog:

US District Attorney and FBI Seized Domains of Major Poker Sites!

Internet Domain Names Used By Online Poker Companies Seized

PREET BHARARA, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and JANICE FEDARCYK, the Assistant-Director-in-Charge of the New York Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”), announced the unsealing of an Indictment today charging eleven defendants, including the founders of the three largest Internet poker companies doing business in the United States – PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker, and Absolute Poker (the “Poker Companies”)- with bank fraud, money laundering, and illegal gambling offenses.

The United States also filed a civil money laundering and in rem forfeiture complaint (the “Civil Complaint”) against the Poker Companies,their assets, and the assets of several payment processors for the Poker Companies. In addition, restraining orders were issued against more than 75 bank accounts utilized by the Poker Companies and their payment processors, and five Internet domain names used by the Poker Companies to host their illegal poker games were seized.

PKR Promo - Aces Cracked and 7-2 offsuit Win

PKR - Let's Play, one of my favorite poker sites annonced a special promotion for this weekend.

"Get your Aces Cracked" and receive a $50 bonus or take down a pot with 72 offsuit to claim a cash reward. Both challenges are very tempting and I guess I'll be doing my grind on PKR this weekend. I'll be playing the PokerGob "Enter the Matrix" tournaments of course. But besides that, PKR sounds like a plan to get a few extra $'s into my bankroll.

72 Promotion:
The hallmark of a truly great player is their ability to win with any two cards - so we're giving you a challenge as cheeky as it is rewarding. Take down any qualifying pot between now and midnight Sunday with 7-2 off-suit (AKA: 'the hammer') and you can claim an extra cash prize worth 5 times the big blind!

Aces Cracked Promotion:
Is there anything more exciting than peeling up pocket Aces? How about knowing you'll get paid even if you lose?! If your Aces don't take down the hand at showdown in any hold 'em ring game before midnight Sunday we'll give you up to $50*.

Head over to PKR - Let's Play! for more info!

Good luck at the tables!

Busted out 10th. on the 888poker iPad2 challenge

You gonna be like "10th? Wtf…what you wanna brag about?".
 
Hang on, hear me out.

I really belive I've played some of my best poker ever last night at the 888poker iPad2 challenge. For a small $2.20 buy-in you can win an iPad2. The first 2 of each tournament get one each. Finished 10th. of 345 players enrolled.

I've missed the first two tournaments getting the date wrong twice, and I've almost missed it again tonight… and I will play it again on Saturday. Yepp, I really want this thing and I swear I was "mind set" that night.

Like I mentioned above, I've played some of my best poker ever today. Already before the tournament I said to the misses "I'm gonna ship this" and that's how I've approached it. There was no "in the money" to aim for, no paid places.. nada. Top 2 or nada and this is the thing.. I kinda "felt the table, felt the tournament".

Poker Site - PKR - Let's play!

Hi guys, on my constant mission of finding the perfect grind I've recently gave "PKR – Let's play!" a swing. I wasn't to sure if I would like a 3D poker software with people making all sorts of funny animations and cheers… but – I DO!.

I have to admit that I like the site a lot. The idea of customising your player, showing your emotions on the table (or the emotions you want other players to "read") and the large range of room designs got me hooked.

Cocktail - Aqu Aqu

Today we'll be making ourself a little "Aqu Aqu", you'll ove it! As always, only use fresh ingredients or get a can of coke to drink... ;-)

Fill your tumbler to the top with ice and throw it in a blender.

Add:

5 cl Bacardi

3 cl Archers (Peach Snaps)

10 cl Pineapple Juice

2 cl Fresh Lime Juice

1 Ring of Pineapple (half if big)

1 Small hand of mint leaves

Blend it all well till it gets "mushy" and fill it into a cocktail glass or tumbler. Garnish with a slice of pineapple and serve.


- That's it, enjoy!

PokerStars - Sunday Million 5th. Anniversary

On March 6th. PokerStars will celebrate the 5th. Anniversary of the famous "Sunday Million Tournament". To celebrate the anniversary of the worlds largest online tournament, PokerStars throws in an amazing $5.000.000 total prize pool with $1.000.000 guaranteed for the first and a Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 for the winner!

PokerStars - Sunday 1/4 Million played

Ohh YES!

I've managed to finish 262nd. of 36381 players in the PokerStars 1/4 million tournament past sunday. I'm very pleased with this result. Specially as I tried to unregister from the tournament for about 30 minutes, which didn't work due to some issues with the PokerStars software. So it kinda "forced" me to play the tournament which was a very good thing...thanks PokerStars! ;-)

After the tournament was stuck for aprox. 30 minutes it basically started with blinds at 25/50 just before going up to 30/60. This caused some very weird play by a lot of players as everybody seemed very desperate to get them chips in. However, I kept back and I belive I've never played so tight in my life. At one point I was able to build up my stack to just under 300k, which again allowed me to sit back and wait for top draws to continue.

Cocktail - Apple Martini

Today we'll be making ourself a very popular cocktail, the "Apple Martini". To make things easy I will refer to the glasses as "Y-glass", "tumbler" or "highball glass" used to build your cocktail. In order to make quality cocktails you'll always need fresh ingredients such as fresh lime juice, fresh lemon juice and numerous syrup's. I recomment Monin as they are world leading in cocktail syrup's and are of very good quality.

 

Let's get started! Chill your Y-Glass with a few ice cubes and fill your big tumbler with iceto the top. Add the following ingredients to the tumbler:

4 cl Smirnoff Vodka

3 cl Monin Apple Sirup

1 cl Fresh Lime Juice

3 cl Apple Juice

Shake well, remove the ice from your Y-glass and pour your martini into the glass. Garnish with half a slice of a green or red apple..and you're done. Enjoy!

Hestia Charity Album Release!

Press Release:

23rd January Independent singer / songwriter Surianne releases Hestia’s charity single ‘Stronger Than Before’, with all proceeds going to ‘Hestia Housing and Support’. To coincide with the charity’s 40th anniversary, up and coming artist Surianne was selected as Hestia’s single of choice to help raise awareness and funds for the London based charity.

‘Stronger Than Before’ is a moving story about picking up the shattered pieces and rebuilding one’s life. It is an emotional response perhaps provoked by a series of events, both good and bad, experienced by the songwriter. A powerful journey of self discovery and self confidence that through lyrics and music, beautifully describes the process of believing in ones self again.

Parted from Apez.biz...

I thought I'd write a few lines to comment about the closure of Apez.biz.

After not being active in SL for almost 2 years now I've found that I still receive contact messages regarding Apez support, Apez products etc. Though I've updated my in-world profile along time ago, I do still receive notecards, messages or objects from residents.

At the moment I'm undecided if I will ever go back to SL. So please don't try contacting me via SL. You can always contact me via twitter as the chances I will reply are much higher. Or even via this blog...

As for Apez... It's sad to see that Cenji has to close down Apez.
The actual infrastructure he has created over the years, and it's products, have been leading the way for many other content designers you would find today in SL. Hopefully Cenji will be able to find a SL company, or individual, to take over the entire project. It would be a shame to see it all die like this.

Now, what will become of the former SLCI products which had been merged with Apez 2 years ago?

I have discussed this with Snap, who used to be my partner with SLCI and who has worked a long time along Apez as well. We're undecided if we'll continue the products (control-demon, textures, building tools etc). Neither one of us really has the time to maintain and update the products or to provide customer support.

I will make another post regarding the SLCI related Apez products in the next days.
