FullTiltPoker.net has just unveiled an innovative informative section involving all the facts of the “Durrrr Challenge”, an amazing online heads up poker tournament presenting some of the most talented big money online players challenging the poker sensation Tom “durrrr” Dwan.

The innovative new website offers online poker players and followers the opportunity to follow this amazing internet poker challenge and receive frequent statistical updates. With this new “durrrr Challenge” section poker players can view all the details and review each hand played during durrrr Challenge, and check out lots of statistics, including how many hands were played, session time, amount won, average won during each hand and lots more.

Close to six months ago, the 23 year old online poker professional dealt out a heads-up poker challenge open to any player with the cash, time and ability to accept it. Any player entering the Full Tilt durrrr challenge has to put up $500,000 against Tom’s $1.5 million. Dwan’s challenge specifies that at least 50,000 poker hands need to be played at the same time at 4 or more poker tables of no-limit Hold’em or pot-limit Omaha. At the end of the heads up challenge, the player who has more cash will win the pool. Essentially if you enter the durrrr challenge and win $1 after the 50,000 hands, then you will take home Tom’s $1.5 Million, but if he wins by $1 then he will take your $500,000.

So far, a few poker players have consented to play the “durrrr challenge”, including WSOP Champ Phil Ivey and David Benyamine, yet, only Patrick Antonius has said yes to the durrrr challenge. At this point, both players have participated in a total of 20,647 poker hands out of 50,000, with durrrr up by $726,546 total.

Certainly the most despicable personalities at the no limit Texas Hold’em poker table time and time again will forever be the bragger. You know the poker player I’m speaking of. He’s the one that finds a seat at the Texas Hold’em table and makes clear you’re aware that he desires all of your Texas Hold’em Poker chips; exiting the poker table with the very same posture that he rolled up with. Even if he doesn’t win, he has in his mind that he is the greatest no limit Texas Hold’em poker player on the globe.

As the majority of poker players would sooner shun competition of this variety, there are other poker players who could say that showing-off may have its compensation. So, the question is: Is there in all reality a skillful no-limit Texas Hold’em show-off or dishonest Texas Hold’em Poker attention-seeker? Showing-off about how proficient you are in no limit Texas Hold’em poker is mainly just like admitting: “I am the most skilled no limit Texas Hold’em poker player in the world, make sure to stay on your A-game while you’re competing in a poker game against me!” No doubt, that is the most terrible vibe you are going to want to give off playing Texas Hold’em. Also, giving away too much information about your no-limit Texas Hold’em playing approach can be quite harmful to your Texas Hold’em game. You definitely do not want these people to find out how you bet on specific poker hands.

In addition there are those poker competitors who may use shooting off their mouths as a kind of poker trick, or bluff. Showing-off when you get a specific no-limit Texas Hold’em hand may throw your opponents for a loop and stump them about your no-limit Texas Hold’em playing technique. Some could consider this plan a bit deceitful, but it is key to remember that there are not too any regulations against it in no limit Texas Hold’em poker. No limit Texas Hold’em poker is all about working with what you got and exploiting it to the max.

On Sun., Nov. 30th the CBS network will show their documentary “How Online Gamblers Unmasked Cheaters”. This special was filmed after a four-month investigation into the online poker business and specifically a cheating scandal in relation to the online Texas Hold’em poker webpage Absolute Poker.

This Texas Hold’em poker website was inspected after a few of the poker players on the website alleged that someone was dishonestly winning a great amount of poker chips. Todd Witteles was a key witness in this research, according to him; he was losing large amounts of poker hands to the exact same Texas Hold’em poker player. Witteles declared that this poker player was raising against extremely good poker hands, the majority of people would have thought he was just giving his money away, but he was in reality winning quite often.

Witteles was pretty accurate with his theories, later on it was uncovered that someone on the inside was able to see anyone’s hole cards. At first glance, Absolute Poker stated that there were no problems with the website or the Texas Hold’em poker player. After numerous players presented the site with allegations, the Texas Hold’em poker website investigated further into the problem and discovered wrongdoing.

Around Jan. of this year, the Kahnawake Gaming Commision unearthed what the Texas Hold’em players and the Texas Hold’em page had supposed all along. The result of the investigation was that, there was a staff member who had invaded the Texas Hold’em page’s security and was competing dishonestly for approximately a month and a half. The investigation verified that the Texas Hold’em website had not gained from the dishonest transactions in any way, and was not engaged in the activities.

These circumstances are further testimony that there ought to be more regulation regarding gambling pages. The United States government needs to authorize and regulate the online Texas Hold’em poker business to look after these honest customers. These laws would also control the admission to these pages by kids, which is becoming another problem issue lately.
