Virgin Poker Golden Ticket
I played a special online tournament with the poker jokers on Virgin pokers site.
Well done to 5 Fingers for winning the seat at the tournament in Birmingham.
I was amazed at how the cards fell during game on this site. Every showdown seemed to bring a card that changed the destiny of the pot on the turn or the river. Is this peculiar to Virgin Poikers site or is it common on other online sites.

More on Electronic Poker Tables
I like the idea of poker electronic poker tables as I said here.
But don't invest in the manufacturers on the Nasdaq until this little difficulty is sorted out, as reported by the Motley Fool
"But my favorite filing this week comes courtesy of PokerTek (Nasdaq: PTEK), which has created an automated poker table called PokerPro. By eliminating the need for a dealer, the theory goes, the company can juice casino profits by dealing more hands, more often.
Profit-seeking is a noble goal, especially for an unabashed capitalist like me. But there's a difference between profit-seeking and profit-taking, even if Chief Financial Officer Christopher Daniels doesn't recognize it.
According to this filing, Daniels might have used the company credit card to fund personal purchases. We don't how much and for what (please, God, tell me it's not ice sculptures), but the Audit Committee of the company's board has commenced an independent investigation of all corporate credit card use. Daniels is on administrative leave until that investigation is resolved.
I know I shouldn't have to state the obvious here, but I'll do it anyway: Stay away from this stock until the Audit Committee reveals its findings. Or, in poker parlance, treat PokerTek the same way you would deal with an off-suit seven-deuce in hold 'em poker: fold."

An intersting development reported here
I like the idea, the best of both worlds, being able to see opponents but not having to worry about dropping cards chips etc.

PartyPoker Premier League Final on TV Tonight
The highly acclaimed PartyPoker Premier League Poker final airs on Channel 4 tonight. A two part final awaits poker fans. Phil Hellmuth and Vicky Coren, amongst others, take their seats.
Hellmuth has the chip lead and you can be certain that the "Poker Brat" will be in high spirits as the final begins. However, the others finalists are sure to want to wipe the grin off Hellmuth's face. Taking on the multi-WSOP bracelet winner are Juha Helppi, Eddy Scharf, Ian Frazer, Liz Lieu and Vicky Coren.
The PartyPoker Premier League series began way back in May. If you haven't tuned in yet then you've missed a rare TV poker treat!
The tournament brought together 12 of the worlds best poker players to fight it out in a unique league format. Each player bought their way in for $20,000. PartyPoker added $260,000 to the total prize pool, making this event worth a staggering $500,000.
A PartyPoker.com spokesman said: "We are very pleased with the response to Premier League Poker and have been inundated by enquiries from pros from all over the world about how they can get involved in the future. It has the winning combination of having bags of personality and world class poker."
The players were quick to praise the tournament too. "Premier League Poker featured a fantastic format filled with skill, twists and turns, great players and made for electric television." Said Phil Hellmuth.
"This is a totally different concept and will make great television, it's like a poker Big Brother. It sets a new bar for televised poker." Commented Dave "The Devilfish" Ulliott
Finally, Tony G got the last word when he enthused, "The Premier League is the best poker event I have ever played in. A real breakthrough for poker."
