The third event of this year’s season for the European Poker Tour will be held in the Hungarian capital, Budapest. It is the first time that an EPT event will be hosted in this scenic city in eastern Europe and this fact clearly illustrates the growth of poker in Hungary.
There is already a fair amount of local players who have left their success mark in the world of poker. Featured Hungarian players include Richard Toth, Denes Kalo and Valdemar Kwaysser who have significant international distinctions.
The EPT website states that the tournament, with the official name Hungarian Open, will have a buy-in € 4350, while the satellites at PokerStars have already begun.
“The EPT Hungarian Open … will certainly act as a magnet for a large mass of international players, and of course for the growing poker audience of Hungary,” continues the website of EPT.
We remind you that for this year’s 6th season of the European Poker Tour, we already had the events in Barcelona and London. After Budapest the EPT will take place in Warsaw (Poland) in November.
The poker-mania has taken over the old continent and the best European casinos don’t lose the opportunity to host an event of EPT. Although we are in the vortex of a global financial crisis, all of the EPT tournaments are sold out, while the participations for the main events go beyond 300 in each of this popular poker tour!
Michael Martin, the 24-year-old American, became the fifth winner of the PokerStars.com EPT London event, held in Victoria casino in London. For his success he won the incredible amount of £1000000 (about 1.3 million Euros).
Michael was left with only 95,000 chips, but after a series of incredible hands, he managed to make the ultimate comeback in less than ten minutes! In the last hand of the final, Michael held 44 against the K9 hand of the Swedish Mike Tureniec. A four in the turn secured the American the title of champion of the EPT.
Despite his young age, winning the EPT London is not the first success for Martin. In last year’s EPT Grand Final held in the Monte Carlo casino, he ranked 5th, and second in the Amsterdam Master Classics!
Altogether 596 players paid the buy-in of £ 5200 for the EPT London Open, creating the staggering prize pool of £ 3349200.
Among the poker professionals who participated in this EPT tournament were former world champions Joe Hasem, Greg Reimer, Chris Moneymaker, Gkropelie Bertran, Gus Hansen, David Benjamin, and many other great names of world poker.
Among the celebrities who took part stood out the German former world tennis champion Boris Becker, the Italian ski slalom champion Alberto Tompa, and the Brazilian racing driver Gualter Salles.
Here are the best 5 advice tips that I can give you from my experience when playing online poker:
Do not play many hands. To remove the factor of luck from your game, do not bet on all hands. It is better to wait until you get two good first cards in your hand.
Learn when to keep your cards and when to fold. Learn how and when to Fold, and do not hurry to make a Call. A good player bets only 30% of the game, so do not be surprised if you need to Fold several times.
Learn when to blof. Blofing works sometimes against certain players, so learn to use it properly and carefully.
Watch the tactics of your opponents. Watch enough games without participating. To learn how your opponents play is an important factor in your success.
Read Poker books and keep notes. There will always be something that you can learn about Poker, so read and learn as much as possible.
The Professor of Harvard Law School Charles Nesson, in an interesting approach to poker, suggests that poker is a game of skill and strategy and that could be used to educate, challenge, and inspire students. Teaching strategic gaming is an integral part of preparing children for the challenges of life, and online poker can be a crucial element in this.
Charles Nesson has become one of the biggest proponents of poker since US goverment banned gambling on the Internet (and unfortunately poker as well). In his articles he supports his views about poker and education and as a man of great education experience he gives an interesting point of view for poker gaming. Nesson is also founder of Global Poker Strategic Thinking Society that on November 10, 2007 organized a conference for the Faculty of Law in Harvard entitled EDUCATIONAL VALUE OF POKER.
