Bodog to Offer the Equivalent of TV Poker With Hole Cards
Bodog now has a feature that allows you to request the hole
cards of players at your table 24 hours after a hand is
completed. The company decided to do this to address the concerns of
players regarding collusion. However, I like the statement
that they made regarding the new feature. Bodog said that, "Once all the noise of whining poker 'pros'
who could no longer use software allowing access to data on
how you play your game against Bodog players died down the
only credible complaint was the threat of collusion,"
Very nice.

Bodog Indicted - Are We Surprised?
By now, most of you know that Bodog. com and its founder
Calvin Ayre was indicted as well as three other defendants. This indictment didn't really shock or surprise me, or
really anyone that has followed online poker's legal battle
since last year. The real surprise comes in the fact that it took them 10
months to file this indictment.

Most poker players donât play the lottery
Many poker players quit playing online after Black Friday
70% of poker players donât care where they play if it

PokerRoom Officially Reopens Online Poker Site
Last month, I reported on how there was "something going on
at PokerRoom. com. "
Well, after a month of "speculation", PokerRoom is now
offering live money games once again. Yes, as in the PokerRoom that ran from 1999 to 2009 before
shutting down due to lack of revenue.
