Poker News Boy’s New Look
Poker News Boy has in a very short time become one of the leading Poker News websites that can be found on the Internet. It has always been known for suppling its readers with great content that is updated daily.
Then just last week PNB had a massive revamp, that has seen it transfer from a site that offers create information for Poker Players, to a site that soon become a leading resource for all poker players.
I have worked closely with PNB Team since I first started in the Poker Industry. I have followed them from when they put up there first few pages, to where they are now. And although readers might think that PNB has finished with the revamp, because the look and feel of the website is finished, they couldn’t be more wrong.
The new design the Poker News Boy are using is just the start of things to come, and currently there is still changes going on in the background that the poker playing readers wouldn’t even notice. For example, one of the things that are going on is the addition of Poker Player Bio’s, which they are still working on. You also have the new review section which has been totally revamped and all new Poker Bonuses have been added so players looking to sign up at the poker sites PNB promote get a greater poker bonus than before. An example of this is the addition of pages such as the Bodog Poker Bonus page or Doyles Room Bonus Code page where there is info to help PNB readers to get the best bonus for each room. They also review the individual rooms as well in an unbiased fashion. Site like Ultimate Bet and Carbon Poker have all been reviewed plus more poker room reviews.
Other new features is the addition of the much awaited Poker News Boy Newsletter, that will be sent out to subscibers on a weekly basis. you also have the inclusion on the PNB approved Poker Websites. This is a section where PNB has approved other Poker Websites as good resources for its readers.
However, there is still plenty of new features expecting to come in a few weeks. With plans of a PNB League and Poker Forum expecting to come soon. This is an exciting time for Poker News Boy, you should check it out.
Giving Online Poker a Try
Everywhere you look, you are being confronted with online poker. Watch any televised poker tournament and at half the final table are online poker players. Once you decide to give online poker a try, you want to give yourself the best chance at success. Here are four tips to help you get started the right way.
Deposit Bonuses
Almost every poker site offers a very attractive bonus when you make your first cash deposit. Usually they will match your deposit 100% and sometimes even more. Most sites will require you to play a certain number of qualified hands on their site before they give you the bonus. They have specific methods of determining what hands qualify. Read the fine print and figure out how hard or easy it will be to get your bonus from each site that interests you.
Beating the Donks
This has been a concept that most players think is a possible thing to do, think on people. You can not beat the poker donk no matter how you play your choosen game. A Poker donk can be found at all tables and at all levels.
Avoiding them is the key to beating them, this has been said before but how many of you reading this actually take player notes on these people? If you are beaten by a donk you take their name and a few notes not to go looking for them for revenge but to avoid them in the first place. The favourite place to find a donk will be in the MTT game simply because the buy in is small enough for them. The further you move up the less donks you will run into, as I said you won’t avoid them but you can cut back on the chance of running into them.
