WTAF. Dentistry at the poker tables?

I have only ever seen dentistry at the Dentist. Never anywhere else. This is totally grim and out of line for the other players imo! Absolutely astounded.

AI glasses spotted over at PartyPoker Live Sheffield.

What’s your take? I think it’s a definite no-no.

Barry Carter back at it again with strategy advice.

We’re not going to read the whole article, but if you want satellite strategy this latest post from Barry Carter over on PokerStrategy is for you!

Will prediction markets change the landscape of live poker?

Paul Seaton at Pokerati wonders if the recent partnership between prediction market operator Kalshi and big poker names is just the start of a new era for the WSOP Main Event.

For over fifty years, the Main Event has been a $10,000 freezeout, almost untouched by the evolving world of betting.

Now, with Kalshi posting odds on whether there will be 10,000 entrants, the line between poker and sportsbetting is starting to blur. As Seaton puts it, this could be 'the first move in a series of changes to the way live poker and sportsbetting merge.’

I personally don’t see the rise in prediction marks changing the landscape of the WSOP — but never say never.

Use poker streams to your own advantage.

Most poker fans treat livestreams as background entertainment, but in this latest episode of Smart Poker Study Podcast suggests there might be a better way.

The host outlines how top players use these streams for focused training, not just passive viewing.

The main idea: take notes, pause the action, and ask yourself what you would do in each spot.

Honestly, this is a great idea!

PokerStars’ Winter Series for 2026 is halfway done, and this year, things are a bit more compact.

Anuj reports for pokerfuse that each regional series is offering 50 tournaments, down from last year’s 89, so the total prize money guaranteed just tips over $1.5 million.

Buy-ins now start as low as $7, with some new price points mixed in. The Main Events, still to come, will see $200 buy-ins with guarantees between $70K and $100K.

Maybe this means something huge is coming 👀

I have been in the industry 10+ years and never heard this story.

Once-upon-a-time, back in 2008, Betfair Poker players stumbled onto a bug that would make even the calmest developer sweat. If everyone moved all-in on the first hand of a six-player sit and go, the winner got first place money, and everyone else received second place payouts.

Forums erupted with stories of players quickly climbing the stakes and raking in money.

Betfair’s offices were closed overnight, so the bug went unchecked until the following afternoon. After discovering the losses, the site quickly shut down the affected games and froze some accounts. The company eventually demanded repayment from players it accused of collusion, even threatening legal action.
