How to qualify online for the WSOP Main Event 2010
Other ways to qualify for the Main Event of the WSOP 2010 online at Full Tilt Poker
In my previous post I was talking about WSOP 2010 online qualifiers and satelites and how you can get a Main event seat for only $1 (or even less if you satellite your way into The $1 Main Event Seat tournament or use FTP points instead).
I have also tell you that there are other ways to get a ticket or an entry to the World Series of Poker Main Event 2010 on Full Tilt Poker too! Interested to find out what they are? I had an idea you will say yes! Keep on reading then…
While I am writing this, 37 WSOP 2010 Main Event Seats have already been won on Full Tilt online poker room. Since the first $1 Main Event online poker tournament starts this Sunday (4th of April 2010), these 37 Main Event tickets were gained by one of the following ways:
Daily Shootout online poker tournaments
One possible way to get a $12K Main Event package online is to play online poker tournaments called Daily Shootouts.
Basically, from 24th of March until 27th of June you have two (2) chances every day to win an WSOP 2010 Main Event Entry! These tournaments start every day at 15:30 ET (20:30 GMT) and 21:30 ET (02:30 GMT) and the maximum number of entrants into the Daily Shootout tournament is 81 players.
You should also be aware that ONLY ONE (1) player (the winner) gets an entry for the Main event. Direct buyin for the Daily Shootout is $200 + $16, but you can also play satelites for $1 or 50 FTP points and get the ticket for this tournament in this way.
In case you are interested in the type of poker games played, it is No-limit Texas Holdem.
150 Seat Main Event Guarantee online poker tournament
The 150 Seat Main Event Guarantee online poker tournament is another way of how to qualify for the WSOP Main Event at Full Tilt Poker.
This tournament is really huge so to speak. There will be atleast 150 Main Event seats given away (around $1.8 million in total prize pool that is)!
This tournament will take place on June 20th at 18:00 ET (23:00 GMT) and you can buyin directly for $600 or play online satelites and qualifiers to get yourself a ticket.
The lowest buyin for the qualifiers is $1 or 50 FTPs, but some of them have much higher buyin. For instance, there was a 150 Seat Main Event Guarantee satellite tournament yesterday that had a buyin of $69 + $6.
Check the Full Tilt Poker lobby for more of them.
Bonus money for the winner of WSOP 2010
I forgot to mention one thing to you in my previous blog post: In case you win the WSOP 2010 Main Event and you managed to get a ticket through Full Tilt Poker, they will also give you additional $10,000,000 on on top of your first-place prize money!
In case you make it into the money, this online poker room will automatically give you a ticket for the World Series of Poker 2011 Main Event tournament. Pretty cool, dont you think? : )
By now I have told you about 3 ways on how to qualify or satellite your way into the WSOP 2010 Main Event on Full Tilt Poker. But you know what? That is still not all!
There are more ways of getting a ticket or seat for the World Series of Poker 2010 Main event! I will tell you about it in my following blog posts!

Tom Durrrr Dwan’s Live Million Dollar Cash Game Challenge
Watch Tom »Durrrr« Dwan play against different opponents in Million Dollar Cash game Challenge!
This blog post is about Tom »Durrrr« Dwan and his Live Million Dollar Challenge where he is playing Heads Up Poker games live against various different poker players.
As you may or may not know, TV Poker Shows are one way of getting valuable insights into how Poker Pros are making decisions when it comes to poker games.That is why I want to introduce you to another TV Poker Show, which will be especially interesting to you in case you are into Heads Up Games cash games.
Watch how Tom Dwan confronts different opponents in high stakes heads-up poker cash games in the video below and I bet you will learn something about how to play heads up live poker for sure! The first episode below is where Dwan plays versus Sammy Georges (worth watching if/when you have some time to spend).
To add some thoughts on Tom »Durrrr« Dwan alongside this video, before Durrrr joined Team Full Tilt Poker in November 2009, Tom was already playing in the highest staked online poker games on Full Tilt Poker with a nickname »durrrr«.
Not to mention, how he was already well established and known in the Poker world before that too. There were rumors that he has not yet experienced a serious downswing and as soon as that happens he will go broke.
Well, until today that has not (yet?) happened (at least he did not go broke). Instead, he seems to be beating the highest poker table limits just fine. To give you an example:
Tom Dwan’s winrate (BB per 100 hands) on $500/$1000 No-limit Holdem SH table limits after more than 50.000 played hands is almost 5.7. That basically means he is winning over $10K for every 100 hands played! In case he is multitabling (which I am sure he does) he can play 100 hands in (lets say) less than 30 minutes.
Not bad I would say! : )
In case you do not know, live Million Dollar Challenge is basically similar to Online Million Dollar Challenge. The difference is obviously in how or where the games are played and the numbers of hands played.
While in Online Million Dollar Challenge (or the original Durrrr Challenge) both Tom Dwan and his opponent (currently Patrik Antonius) are required to play 50k hands on limits of $200/$400 or higher (multitabling on 4 tables), Live Million Dollar Challenge is less marathon like.
In other words: the number of played hands is a lot lower in live challenge.
To sum it up: Full Tilt Poker‘s Live Million Dollar Challenge with Tom »Durrrr« Dwan is a very interesting TV Poker Show that is definitely worth watching! Here it is:
As always: Good luck at the online poker tables, be it on Full Tilt Poker or Lucky Ace Poker or somewhere else. : )

Rush Poker Strategy by Brandon Adams
Improve your Rush Poker Strategy with tips from Poker Pro Brandon Adams
Rush Poker seems to be taking off the ground quicky on Full Tilt Poker and I really hope you are getting the most out of it!
If not, this post will certainly help you out! But before I tell you about it, you should know that I have already made one post on Rush Poker Tips before. You can read it here: How to play Rush Poker: Basics and Tips from Howard Lederer.
Since then another professional poker player, Brandon Adams, has published his thoughts about Strategy in Rush Poker games. Due to the fact that online Rush Poker games are so new, every strategy tips about this poker form is more than welcome to get familiar with.
That is why I suggest all Rush Poker Players to further improve their Rush Poker Strategy by reading the following article written by Brandon Adams: Thinking about Strategy in Rush Poker
All those who have read the tips from Howard Lederer already know that one of the advantages of playing Rush Poker over the normal online poker games is that you get to play many more hands in Rush Poker.
There are estimates that with Rush Poker you are able to play approximately 4 times more hands than with normal poker games. While this is true, the number of hands played in Rush poker also depends on how fast you are with playing poker in general.
Just like you will be able to read in the article about strategy in rush poker by Brandon Adams, if you are above average when it comes to playing speed, you are able to play twice as much hands as an average player!
Enough talk from me, here are some of the highlights in the above mentioned Rush Poker Strategy article:
Rush Poker Strategy: Taking advantage of Quick Fold Button
When playing Rush Poker, you have an option to fold out of turn. This feature is called »quick fold button«. This basically means you get seated to another table immediately after pressing the quick fold button.
Ofcourse, the opponents at that table have no idea that you used that button, at least until the move to act gets to you. When that happens, your fold happens very quickly and it is obvious to the rest of the table that you used »quick fold«.
Now here comes the best part. Regular Rush Poker players take notes on who is quick folding or folding out of turn and are taking advantage of that.
As said, only regular players can be able to determine such players as they keep seeing some of the same players (eventhough the pool of players in Rush Poker consist out of 1000+ players).
So, how can you take advantage of players who are using »quick fold«? Well, constantly stealing blinds from them is one possible way of using such information!
For the rest of the Rush Poker strategy by Brandon Adams, I suggest reading the whole article by clicking here: Rush Poker Strategy!
