Negativity is always something I try to fend off but it keeps biting at my heels. Today i am in a negative mood and decided to write a post about the worst poker players ever and what makes them so bad. I can think of a few really bad poker players and for multiple reasons. I guess I have to look at what makes a bad poker player to determine the worst ones ever!

Bad poker players again can be bad for multiple reasons. They can represent the game and the industry poorly, they can be simply degenerate gamblers that just play to gamble, they can be players that invest money non stop into live or even online play and lose, they can be players that are one hit wonders that really have no take or idea on the game, simply got lucky and of course there are cheats which would in my mind make them the worst player ever simply by being one! I am sure there are more reasons for someone being the worst poker players ever but that’s enough for now!

If i were to analytically go through each of these categories that make the worst poker players EVER, I could i guess number it down to a few hundred thousand players. I am sure some have cheated, some have just played for the hell of gambling, some are colossal losers (I know I am sometimes – not all the time thank goodness) and some just represent poker and the poker industry poorly.

Making my list into a few hundred thousand players simply isn’t going to give me the nuts on the worst players ever. Sorry mum but you would be in that list as you do not even know what 2 pair is lol. To be fair on our well known players i can’t be naming them either, most of them are good representatives of the game and are far from cheats or losers and naming any of them would be just plain wrong, especially when they are better players then I am!

I guess that leaves a riddle, who are the worst poker players ever? Is it even possible to name them? I think not! People play poker for fun, enjoyment, as children, at all levels. Poker players have the ability to learn and will learn the game for the rest of their lives.

There is no such thing as a worst poker player ever is what I think, I REPEAT “THINK”! They can cheat and it doesn’t make them the worst, it just makes them down right horrible! They can be a colossal loser but there is always going to be someone who is a more colossal loser, they can represent the game badly but be champions, they can have a bad recorded day, month or year and come back to win a million dollars or they could be a casual drunk at pub poker. It doesn’t make them the worst ever.

In summary of my thoughts today on the worst poker players ever, I can’t name them, wouldn’t name them and are not going to try. Of course you could disagree with me on any of the above and say there definitely is a group of worst players ever. I guess someone MUST fall under every category there is to make them bad! I sure have seen some shitty players that are rude, abrupt, smelly, stupid, drunk, and non stop losers. If you are one of them, I guess YOU are one of the worst players ever lol. I know I don’t stink, which makes me not the worst of the worst for starters, I don’t think i am stupid either nor always drunk when I play so I can safely say I am not one of them.

143 players returned on Day 2 of the 2011 Aussie Millions’ first event to battle it out for the AUD 200k top prize. All-in-all, 1,000 entries were registered through the 3 day 1 flights, but because of the repechage nature of the event, not all of those were unique. The second day would be the last one too, as the goal was to play down to a winner.
There were quite a few “name” registrants like James Akenhead, Annette Obrestad and Tony Dunst, but none of these players managed to make it to day 2.
The aim of reaching a conclusion on day 2 was a rather ambitions one, especially considering the fact that the money bubble was still ahead when the action kicked off. John Corr’s elimination burst the bubble, and while there are few more painful situations a poker player can find himself in than being the bubble boy of a high stakes international poker tournament, these days it is apparently becoming common that the organizers offer the bubble boys some sort of a consolation prize. Corr picked up his in the shape of a gold pass to the Australian Open.

The bursting of the bubble meant that the action would speed up quite a bit. It took about 10 hours for the final table to be reached. On the final table bubble, things slowed down again. It took over two hours for the final table bubble to burst. Justin Cohen did all the other survivors a huge favor by eliminating Isaac Lau in 10th place. Lau’s pocket Ks were cracked by Cohen’s A,J.
Jonathan Palmer headed to the rail next, followed by Scott Montgomery in 8th place. Cohan managed to turn the chips he picked up through the above described elimination, into a 3rd place finish.
Martin Drewe disposed of Darren Kramer heads-up to win it all.
Event #2, a $550 Poker Pro Shootout, concluded as well crowning Jared Soloman the winner.

“Isildur1″ has been silent and anonymous since he broke into the high-stakes games on Full Tilt Poker back in October. Since then, he has been on a wild ride, filled with million-dollar swings that saw both the largest online poker hand ever played, as well as the biggest online poker win during a single session, achieved by Brian Hastings.

Just two weeks ago, Hastings won over $4 million from Isildur1 in a session that is now being scrutinized because it has been discovered that Hastings obtained advice on hands from a database of hand histories collected by Brian Townsend. The collection of such a database is a violation of the Full Tilt Poker Terms of Service.

Through a series of sources, PokerNews tracked down Isildur1, who agreed for the first time to go on record about the session with Hastings. Isildur1 has not, however, revealed his identity, nor does he plan to do so in the near future. While this interview only discusses the session against Hastings, Isildur1 has promised to give PokerNews more time in the coming week to discuss his ride on the high-stakes roller coaster.

There has been a lot of controversy regarding your match versus Brian Hastings. Were you aware before reading it on ESPN that Hastings had been able to study hand histories from matches you had played with others?

I had no clue about this, as I don’t follow the forums or many poker sites. I had no idea. A few poker friends told me about it, and then I finally decided to see for myself and read it on the site.

Had you played Brian Hastings prior to the $4 million session?

I had played him before at no-limit hold’em, as well as a little pot-limit Omaha, so this was not the first time we played together; however, we also did not play very much.

We’re sure you’ve thought back on the losing session quite a bit. Was there anything that was strange about the session when you look back?

In the days leading up to the session with Hastings, I played with BrianTownsend and Cole South a lot. They were always waiting for me. The last session where Hastings won all the money, it just felt like something was wrong. Everything that could go wrong for me did. Every time I tried to pull off a bluff of some kind, it felt as if it was being picked off. At the time, I just thought it was crazy luck, but now, knowing they shared a lot of their analysis of hand histories with each other, it makes a lot more sense. I feel like Hastings, and even South and Townsend when we played the last few times, had an advantage over me.

Since the session, have you had any conversations with Brian Hastings?

No, nothing.

Have you reached out to Full Tilt Poker at all?

Not at this time, no I have not.

Were you aware of the Full Tilt rule that states: “The use of shared hand histories provides detailed information on opponents a player has little or no personal experience playing against, and is deemed to be an unfair advantage. Violating this policy is subject to the maximum penalties for prohibited software use?”

I was not aware of the exact rule that you just mentioned, but since seeing that it is in fact a rule at Full Tilt Poker, I think I am going to put through a formal complaint, as I think this is a case where the sharing of hand histories directly affected the match I played with Brian [Hastings].

Now that Brian Townsend has come out in his blog and admitted to compiling a database of about 50,000 hands he and others played against you to analyze your play, do you feel like you deserve to get a portion or all of your money back from the session?

Yes, I do feel like I deserve to get something back. I feel that Hastings had a big edge over me due to the hand history database. They were able to dissect the exact way I was playing because they analyzed the hands so precisely, and it was impossible for me to adjust, as I had no idea they were doing it.

Even though this information is not out there, since they admitted to sharing hand histories, how can I be sure that all three of them did not have input on the hands while we were playing?

Have you ever discussed hand histories with friends, or peers about any of the players you played in the big games on Full Tilt, or against any opponent for that matter?

I have never in my life studied hand histories. I have never studied books, or watched videos. I always have just played poker and played with every player who wanted to play me. To be honest, I never even studied my own hand histories.

What’s next for Isildur1? Do you plan on getting back into the action?

Well, honestly I am going to stay quiet for a while now. I am planning on putting in the request to Full Tilt to look into this further, and until I hear back, I don’t plan on playing much poker on the site.

Thank you Isildur1, we look forward to talking with your more in the coming days about some of your experiences playing in the biggest online poker games in the world.

The New Jersey Assembly voted 63-11 to allow Atlantic City casino operators to offer online gambling to New Jersey residents. The bill, passed the New Jersey Senate 29-5 in November, and is headed to the Gov. Chris Christie’s desk for his signature. If the Republican governor signs the bill into law, New Jersey would become the first state to license and regulate online gambling the U.S.

The bill, authored by Sen. Raymond Lesniak, authorizes the online offering of “poker, roulette, baccarat, blackjack, craps, big six wheel, slot machines, minibaccarat (sic), red dog, pai gow, and sic bo; any variations or composites of such games, provided that such variations or composites, and any above listed game or variation or composite of such game to be offered through Internet wagering.”

The bill also specifies that Internet gambling operators have to be licensed Atlantic City casino operators, and that all equipment used to conduct Internet gaming be located either in Atlantic City casinos or a “secure” location in Atlantic City.
