The best part about this promotion is that you can participate in it for free!
In order to play Gus Gansen heads up for free, you need to start playing online freeroll qualifiers at Full Tilt Poker.
These Face The Pro poker freeroll qualifiers have been running daily on FTP from April 18th 2010 and will continue until November 27th 2010 (according to their website – according to their newsletter, the qualifiers will only be running until August 7th 2010!, so you might want to hurry up).
Sixy four (64) winners of these online poker freerolls will then get a seat to eight (8) live final tables.
Each of the winners of these egiht (8) live final tables will then play eachother in so called Super Final Table where the winner will get €50,000 the runner up will get €20,000 and the player finishing in third (3rd) place will get €10,000!
But as mentioned, that is not all! The winner will even have a chance to double up his €50,000 by winning a heads up match against Gus Hansen and win a Central Eastern Europe Champion title!

How To Play Live Poker Tournament with FTP Pros
Today I want to inform you about pretty cool promotion that is going on at the Full Tilt Poker.
As you know, this online poker room has some of the best poker players in their team. To name just a couple of them: Phil Ivey, Gus Hansen, Tom Dwan, Chris Ferguson, Patrik Antonius and Allen Cunningham.
Now let me ask you this: Would you like to play live poker tournament with these guys for a total prize of $120,000? Who wouldn’t want to do that, right?
I am sure it would be great to talk to some of these players and ask them whats up with them! In case you win the tournament, getting those $120,000 would be nice addition to the whole experience as well!
If you think playing live poker with the Pros is impossible, then you have probably not heard of the Full Tilt Poker promotion called Poker Lounge before! Let me explain this a little bit further.
Basically, the Poker Lounge is a series of 10 TV Poker shows (like High Stakes Poker for example) that will be airing on Chanel 4 on Tuesdays from June 22nd 2010 to Avgust 24th 2010 and will be featuring 5 FTP professionals + 1 FTP player playing eachother in live poker tournaments.
The best part about the Poker Lounge is the fact that you can participate in one of these shows too! Here is how you can get an entry to the above mentioned TV Poker show:
How to qualify for the Poker Lounge TV Show
The only way of qualifying for this TV Show is by playing Poker Lounge online qualifiers at Full Tilt Poker.
These qualifiers have been running there from April 4th and will continue to do so until the July 4th 2010. Basically, 4 qualifiers are still to be played: two (2) on June 13th, one (1) on June 20th and the last one on July 4th.
You can buy into these qualifiers directly for $600 + $40 (exception: the buyin for the qualifier on June 13th is $300 + $22).
Do not worry if this sum of money is more than your bankroll allows you to buyin at this moment. There are also satellites available. The lowest satellite buyin is $10.
It is a long way to buyin into the satellite for $10, win it, get a ticket for Poker Lounge Qualifier, win it, get a ticket for Poker Lounge TW Show, win it and get a prize of $120,000 but nonetheless, it can be done!
You will find the qualifiers and satellites in the Full Tilt Poker lobby under Tournaments / Live Events / All / All Types / Highest.
Wish you all the best! In case you do get a ticket for Poker Lounge TV Show, say hi to the FTP Pros from me as well! : ) Good luck
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.
What is your favorite poker show? You can leave it in comments below! : )

Gus Hansen’s Poker Book: Every Hand Revealed
I am sure you know who Gus Hansen, the Professional Poker player, is. The main focus of this blog post is therefore not about the Great Dane himself, but rather his Poker Book titled Every Hand Revealed that was first published in May 2008.
What you will find in this 370 pages long book (the only one written by this poker player up to date) is pretty much obvious from the title. To sum it up, it is the analysis of more than 300 hands that Gus played during the Aussie Millions in 2007.
The thing that makes this book especially interesting and valuable is the fact that Hansen explains to you in details the thinking and the logic behind his decision making process, which eventually lead him to become winner of the above mentioned live NL Texas Holdem Tournament.
For instance, you will find out why he bluffed certain hands and why he called large (almost uncallable) bets in other spots. Among other things, the mathematical aspects of poker and pot odds made on real examples are also discussed in this book through various different hands he played. Same goes for his competition: How he sees and treats other poker players behind his table.
Besides enormous amount of poker knowledge that is hidden in this poker book, there is another thing that makes it unique: The writting style itself! It is written in a fun and easy to understand way, even for the beginners.
Gus Hansen’s poker book Every Hand Revealed is not only worth reading, but is something that every poker player/fan should have in his library of poker books! In case you do not have it yet, you can click here to buy it on Amazon.
With that said, lets now look at the final hand from the Aussie Millions 2007 Main Event that made Gus the winner of this tournament and earned him $1.2 million prize award:
