How To Find The Best Online Casino Suite?
Hey guys! It has been a while since my last post, so it is time to write another one. This one is not going to be entirely about poker, but I think you will like it anyways.
Basically, I am going to try and answer the question in the title: How to find the best online casino suite?
In case you have been read every post I have written and published here on scatmann, then seeing me blogging about online gambling is not a suprise for you. This is because you know that occasionally I also throw in an article about online casino gambling as well.
Anyways, finding the best online casino can be either very hard or very easy. Generally speaking, it depends on how you search for or gather the information about casino gambling sites available to play on.
I assume all of us (or atleast most of us) like to keep things simple and easy as much as possible. That is why I want to give you a couple of tips on how to find the best gambling room on the internet.
The process is basically similar (if not even identical) to finding the best internet poker site or any other product or service that can be bought or performed online. The information I am about to share below is nothing spectacular, but nonetheless it can be useful, especially if you have not done any serious online gambling (or shopping) up until now.
Tips On How to Find The Best Online Casinos:
The first thing you should do is find websites about gambling sites! There are numerous websites, blogs or/and forums available on the internet that deal especially with gambling sites, so this should not be a problem.
When finding a couple of casino gambling websites, start reading the articles on it. Focus especially on reading reviews.
This will not only provide you with basic information about certain casino room, but will also inform you what to expect from it and more importantly what you will be getting in case you decide to join the reviewed casino site.
Another important thing you should have in mind: Read more than one review on more than one website!
Why do you want to do that? Well, if one blog tells you that certain gambling site is the best and other 10 blogs tell you that gambling site is no good, then reading those other 10 reviews just saved you some troubles, right?
In general, when finding the best online casino suite for you, inform yourself about as many things as possible! Read reviews, read forums, do a search on facebook,…see what others are saying about it. If players have nothing bad to say about it, then that is definitely a good sign!

High stakes poker cash games are everywhere!
Nowadays, it is not unusal to see high stakes poker cash games on TV anymore. There are many TV Poker shows where you can observe professional poker players playing stakes as high as $300 / $600 and even more.
To give you a couple of examples, just think of TV Show called High Stakes Poker. They are currently in their 6th season already, which means people like me and you really enjoy watching such TV shows.
High Stakes Poker are just one of these TV shows available for you to watch. There are also other interesting ones like Durrr’s live million dollar cash games challenge, or Poker after dark Cash Game.
Seeing such shows on mainstream TV is by my opinion good indicator how poker games have become popular all over the world in the last 3 or 4 years. Same goes for TV ads that advertise different poker rooms.
I live in Slovenia and the poker was never advertised on TV as much as I see it these days (I am not sure about your country though). But I suppose that is a good thing.
Online High Stakes Poker Cash Games
But what about online high stakes poker? Is it possible to watch the same professional poker players (that we see on TV) play online as well?
I am sure you know the answer already, but anyways: Yes, you can see these high stakes players playing online too!
Although it is hard to predict when players like Tom Durrr Dwan, Gus Hansen or Ilari Ziigmund Sahamies will actually be playing online, you will bump into them sooner or later. Just like I did!
To cut the long story short, I logged into Full Tilt Poker one Friday and there they were Durr and Ziigmund blasting eachother in $500 / $1000 Online Pot-limit Heads Up cash games.
Since I wanted to show it to you, I even recorded one of the biggest pots for you to see it. Here is is:
To conclude, high stakes poker cash games can not only be seen on TV, but on the internet as well! You never know, when you will log into the Full Tilt Poker and see some of the best poker players playing for the highest limits available.

Rush Poker Tournaments introduced at Full Tilt Poker
After Rush Poker cash games, Full Tilt has now introduced Rush Poker tournaments too!
Good news coming from Full Tilt Poker for those of you who like to play online poker fast and spend as little time waiting for another hand as possible!
After bringing on online Rush Poker cash games, which is a kind of revolution in online poker, Full Tilt Poker has now introduced online Rush Poker tournaments too! The rules of playing this type online poker tournaments are not much different than with cash games:
Again, as soon as you fold your hand or the hand is over you immediately get seated to another table and receive a new hand. That also means that every registered poker player at the Rush Poker tourney you are playing in could be your potential opponent.
If you need some Rush Poker cash game tips or better understanding of it, I suggest you check out these two blog posts I have made:
Here are few more words about Rush Poker tournaments:
About online Rush Poker Tournaments
Rush Poker tournaments run in the way described above until there are only 30 players left.
At that point, the tables will go from standard full ring (9 players) to short handed (6 players) until the final tables. At the final table, things get back to normal again where hands are played just like with any other (online) poker tournament.
How to register for Rush Poker Tournaments
The first thing you need to do is log into the Full Tilt Poker (or register first if you dont have FTP account yet) and then find the Rush Poker tournaments using Browse function:
Tournaments / All / Holdem / No-limit
The Rush Poker tourneys will be marked with black letter »R«, so you will be able to recognize them easily. You can also use FTP‘s Advanced Filter and simply create yourself a list of all Rush Poker tournaments available.

Full Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS) XVI – april 2010
It is amazing how time flies when you are having a good time (or just living the life). Why am I saying this?
Because it is time for Full Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS) again! It wasnt long ago (in february 2010) when FTOPS XV was taking place. I am not sure if I wrote a post about it, but it was a big event.
More than $17 million in prize pool money had been won in total of 27 online poker events on Full Tilt Poker. As said above, now it is time for another Full Tilt Online Poker Series: FTOPS XVI!
So what can we expect from this online poker series? In short: a lot! But I am sure you are interested to hear about the details too, so here they are:
Details about FTOPS XVI
The FTOPS XVI will be starting on Full Tilt Poker from 23rd of April 2010 on and there will be a total of 30 events with a total guaranteed prize pool of 18$ million! Each event will be hosted by one of their Professional Poker Players.
Full Tilt Poker is obviously continuing its tradition in the sense that every new FTOPS is bigger than previous ones. I hope they will keep pushing the guaranteed prize pool limits in future events too.
Poker Tournaments on FTOPS XVI
There will be many tournaments going on, perhaps the ones I should mention are:
- FTOPS (Full Tilt Online Poker Series) Main Event with a guaranteed prize pool of $3 million, and
- Two-Day Event tournament with a guaranteed prize pool of $2 million.
A few more words about Two-Day Event, it has a very large buyin ($2,000 + $100) and will be starting on 1st of May 2010 at 19:00 GMT.
The playing structure is also worth mentioning: You start with 6000 chips and the blinds increases every 30 minutes (antes will be collected from the start).
The first day of this online poker tournament will end when players get into the money.
Another good news is that you can get a ticket for the Two-Day Event at FTOPS XVI by playing qualifiers and satellites starting from $1 or 50 FTP Points upwards! You will find them in the Lobby under the »Tournaments / Satellite« tabs.
Just like with past Full Tilt Online Poker Series, the FTOPS XVI is also spicing things up with interesting prizes like: There are even more cool stuff and tournaments going on at Full Tilt Poker during FTOPS XVI! In case you want to participate in the action and get a share of $18 million, you are invited to take part. Don’t forget, the FTOPS XVI starts tomorow at Full Tilt Poker, but you can start with qualifiers today! Good luck and see you around. Hey there! Hope you are having some luck with getting a ticket for the World Series of Poker 2010 Main Event Tournament. I have played a couple of $1 Main Event Seat tournaments but have been eliminated pretty quickly. So far, 209 seats for WSOP 2010 Main Event have been won on Full Tilt Poker and the number is increasing as you read this. Anyways, what I want to tell you today is that there are even more ways to qualify for the WSOP 2010 online. If you recall, I mentioned this in my previous post already, just haven’t wrote it yet. Before I go into details, let me just put all online qualifiers or satellites for the WSOP 2010 that I blogged about here on scatmann in one place. Just in case you missed it out: As you can see, I have already published 3 posts on World Series of Poker 2010 Main Event qualifiers or satellites! Well, it is time to add some more ways to those mentioned in my previous posts. Here is how to get a ticket for the biggest live poker tournament in the year 2010 for free: Full Tilt Poker promotion Race to the Main Event gives you an opporunity to win a $10K prize package for the WSOP 2010 for free! There are total of 50 seats to be won through this promotion in the following way: The first thing you have to do in order to get a WSOP 2010 Main Event Seat for free is to win an online freeroll tournament called Main Event Race: Round 1. These tournaments are running at Full Tilt Poker round the clock every day (the promotion started at 15th of April 2010). To continue, winning Round 1 freeroll will get you into Main Event Race: Round 2 tournament. In this freeroll you have to finish into the top 2. That will get you a ticket for the weekly Main Event Race – Finals Freeroll tournament. The Main Event Race – Finals Freeroll is the final tournament and if you win this one, the ticket for the WSOP 2010 is yours! I know it seems like a long way, but as I said earlier: 50 players will get a ticket for the World Series of Poker 2010 Main Event in such way. The best thing about it is that you can be one of these 50 players that will get the ticket for the WSOP 2010 for free!
