Certainly online poker is an amazing phenomenon, it’s advertised everywhere, on ESPN (WSOP), and TV, and up to 50,000 people are playing at one time at the biggest online poker room. So, how is it different to play online poker tournaments versus playing the occasional Monday night game, or in playing in Las Vegas Poker Rooms? That is what we are asking our writers to detail for you – what techniques of strategy and psychology are available, plus are there any tools unique to the online poker game?

WSOP Main Event Final Table Adjourned to November — The big news in poker has to be the announcement by the World Series that the final table of the Main Event will be adjourned to November, once the lineup of players has been determined. The move had been rumored for some time, being done at the strong behest of broadcaster ESPN, which has been looking to pump up its flagging poker ratings. The 117-day delay from July to November will allow ESPN to televise a “nearly live” final and promote the event in hopes of boosting interest, but drew the ire of many poker traditionalists who believe the change introduces increased possibilities for unforeseen and unwanted events to occur. Call it the “Grand Experiment” for poker in 2008… only time will tell.
Collectively we’re unconscious of any rancor over the German win. But we still dream of playing at Party Poker again.

Alexander Jung Captures PartyPoker Millions VI — PartyPoker’s annual floating cruise-ship event, the PartyPoker Millions, was captured this time around by Germany’s Alexander Jung. Jung triumphed over a 171-player field light on American players, who were unable to qualify online (Party does not accept US players online at this time), but still could buy in directly since it was a land… er… water-based tournament. Jung’s triumph was worth $358,280 over a relatively anonymous final table, the most recognizable player of which was the fourth-place finisher, Finland’s Mika Paasonen. Germany went one-two, however, as Dominik Stopka captured the runner-up $225,585 prize money.
