Leading online poker site PokerStars continues preparations for its December 28th attempt to rewrite the entry in the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest-ever online poker tournament. With a target of 35,000 players, the event should outdraw by 50% some of the largest online tourneys recorded to date – including a Sunday "Hundred Grand" tourney at Stars in July of 2007 that was capped at 20,000 players, thereby setting the published record. With advance registrations proceeding at a fast clip, the special tourney is also likely to be capped well in advance of its start. Even if this tournament should fill up there will be a $150 000 overlay in the prize pool.| 1 $30,000.00 2 $20,000.00 3 $15,000.00 4 $10,000.00 5 $7,500.00 6 $5,000.00 7 $3,500.00 8 $2,500.00 9 $2,000.00 10 $1,500.00 | 11-15 $1,150.00 16-20 $850.00 21-30 $700.00 31-40 $600.00 41-50 $500.00 51-70 $400.00 71-100 $300.00 101-150 $225.00 151-200 $175.00 201-300 $150.00 | 301-400 $125.00 401-500 $100.00 501-700 $90.00 701-1000 $80.00 1001-1500 $70.00 1501-2000 $60.00 2001-2500 $50.00 2501-3000 $40.00 3001-4000 $35.00 4001-5000 $30.00 | 5001-6000 $26.00 6001-7250 $22.00 7251-8750 $20.00 |

 | Daniel Negreanu "You win some, you lose some" lol:) |
 | I just won the last 4 hands. Nice to win #5:) |
 | This one made me laugh. He hit 3 outer on turn, than I hit my 2 outer on the river:) And he played the hand bad on every street. He put money in there everytime he was behind and the one time he is ahead he checks. |
 | Ya, so here is a flush I hit. It is a little funny how it played out. I think because it was 3-way pot I choose to play conservative since there was a possibility for higher flush or full house. Man, I thought I won this hand for sure. I think the other guy with ace high flush should have raised on the river for value. |
 | 3 outer:( I felt so much strength from him when he check raised on the river. My instincts told me I'm beat but $10 in the pot, $4 to call so had to call. |
 | This hand is pretty sick and I think I got away pretty cheap. His call on the turn is bad, he should definitely have raised it since we're deep stacked(like $30 each) and there's lots of draws that I would pay to see. |

Last weekend the biggest pot (online) ever was played at Full Tilt on one of their highstakes tables. The pot reached the amount of $723 000, and with that it beats the old record of $607 000. Involved in this monster pot were "durrrr", Phil Ivey, "urindanger" and Gus Hansen. Winner of the pot was "urindanger" and he left the table after winning about $650 000!
 | First one, when he raised me on the river my first instincts told me I'm beat but I only had 19 seconds to act and I was mulitabling and couldn't put him on a hand that beats mine. Thought maybe he had 77 but I beat that and thought it would probably be a split pot. Pretty sick..getting $38 in there on the river when I have position..ahhh shit |
 | Second hand, what can I say.. I never felt so happy when jack came on the river |
 | I like this play. Bet preflop, continuation bet flop than check/raise turn. |
 | This one, I think the timer was going 3,2,1 so I couldn't slide the bar to raise enough preflop. I got him to put all his money on the turn on a flush draw, unfortunately he hit his flush. |
Okay, so BankrollMob has Action Poker $1000 Freeroll Every month. It was today and I played in it. Only 57 players so that's like $18 each if every one splits it but there's players sitting out and dead money too. There's 2 bounties, Action Poker Staff member and Bankrollmob staff member. Knock one of them out and get a $110 seat for another tournament. I was so close to knock one out, came down to a coin flip that I lost.

The online poker site Duplicate Poker launched their site about three years ago but are now forced to close down due to the current financial situation in the world. Duplicate Poker offered a kind of poker where all the players were dealt the same hands and the winner was the player that managed to win the most chips in that hand. The reason why the introduced this version of poker was to get around the UIGEA and offer a poker game that is pure skill.

Alright, I played a little bit of Action Poker. It's called Action Poker for good reason, you get action on almost every hand. I played a 3 hour session, longest session I've played. I was playing too many hands and bluffing to bad players..As Mike Matusow would say "Never bluff to an idiot". So I lost $65 in 30 minutes, tightened up and worked it to a $10 deficit. I pick up Kings in middle position, 2-3 guys post 25cent blinds dead ahead of me which I like and than 2 people limp in before me. So lots of dead money, I raise to $3 hoping for some action. I get my Action but the other guy hits a straight with 8s and I lose $35 pot.
I trapped this guy good too..perfect bet on the flop to get the idiot to raise..Almost reraised on flop but thought he had like king ten or something and would fold. Turn gives him more outs but come on..let me win one time
 | 67 suited, standard raise, almost get mini raised so getting great odds to call. Dream flop, well can't get a much better flop than that. I bet pot, willing to go all in with it. Don't like him calling but nice turn and I bet small on turn, hoping he would reraise. River I push, I think its a bad call on river by him, I wouldn't have made the call on flop by him either. |
Karman Vs. GeneYuss | Karman is very loose, raised me like 5 times in a row preflop after I raised. Thought maybe he's a good player or just getting cards but no. He's a bad player who likes to play any 2 cards. |
 | Karman Vs. GeneYuss hand 1, What's he doing in this hand. He has no business here but I'm happy he paid me off:) |
 | Karman Vs. GeneYuss hand 2, What is he doing. No business in this hand either. Thought I lost for a sec when 8 came but happy to see it a diamond:) 3 Diamond flushes today:) |
 | Karman Vs. GeneYuss hand 3, unfortunately I lost this one. I limped in cause I wanted to win a big pot if I hit another 10 and who knows, someone else might raise and isolate the field. So, Karman raises, first thought I was beat but its Karman I can't give him any credit. Why couldn't I suck out one time. |
 | I got lucky in this one, what can I say. He played it good but that's the risk you take slow playing. |
