Finally getting back into the swing of things, with alot of our tournament dates for the leagues getting confirmed things should start to get easier. This means I’ll have a bit more time to write articles etc with the admin finally getting under control.

Anyway unless you’ve been under a virtual rock most poker players will know about the whole Absolute Poker potripper scandal … We’ve all been eagerly awaiting the results of the audit …

The Kahnawake Gaming Commission has fined Absolute Poker $500,000 for the way it handled the online poker cheating scandal at Absolute. They found that cheating did occur at the site for approximately six weeks starting in the middle of August 2007 and that Absolute Poker attempted to cover it up.

Minimum Deposit Poker Challenge

A while ago I mentioned the Chris Ferguson Zero to $10k Challenge and alot of the members in the forum have taken up similar projects – hoping to turn their freeroll winnings into a substantial bankroll.

As I’ve commented before personally I feel entering freerolls is alot of time for a low return and suggested that it would be better to skip a night down the pub and play from a minimum deposit.

So now I’m going to put my money where my mouth is and get playing some of my accounts that have minimal amounts in – those odd $11.83’s and $15 here and there and see what I can do with them.

4kingpoker.com is taking up so much of my time that I don’t get to play as much as I would like but I will be reporting back occasionally with bankroll reports. I generally play cash games on a low bankroll but I may dabble with the odd MTT as I enjoy the challenge of these more than grinding.

Alot of the time I build up a bit of a bankroll and then use this to pay for some of our private tournaments so record keeping has been at best a mental process.

Currently a couple of balances I’ll be working on …

Bodog … $10.00 deposit … now at $27.78

Titan Poker … $ 6.93

Pacific Poker … $30 (+$8 bonus) … $38
