PokerStars Becomes a Network: What It Means for the Future

The PokerStars Network (PSN) changes how PokerStars operates its dot-com network. Here are the key takeaways and what comes next.

Latest on The Rail Updated 13 minutes ago

According to PokerNews, Episode 33 of Hellmuth’s Home Game was a rough night for Daniel Cates and Shaun Deeb, with the ladies running the show at the Grand Sierra Resort.

Jennifer Tilly and Xuan Liu took center stage, with Tilly getting the better of Cates in a river three-bet hand after she flopped top pair and improved to two pair. Cates, thinking he was clever with top pair top kicker, quickly folded to Tilly’s aggression.

Cates tried again against Xuan Liu, who woke up with pocket aces and put Cates in some serious pain. Xuan applied pressure with multiple bets, eventually moving all in on the river and leaving Cates with tough decisions and a much lighter stack.

Is the WSOP Super Circuit in Montreal the tonic we needed for missing the WSOP.

It is definitely scratching that itch, that’s for sure.

Top names still remain as the WSOP Super Circuit reaches Day 4.

Michael Mizrachi, Daniel Negreanu and Andy Stakes are all in the mix.

The last episode of the 888poker WSOP Main Event documentary airs this Saturday.

We follow along as Aaron Barone makes it to Day 5 of the Main.

First it was Lady GaGa, then it was Beyonce. Now it’s Miley Cyrus.

Poker may not be in the lyrics but this video is definitely set in a card room.

ICM just got a little less mysterious, thanks to Alex Theologis and his not-so-secret weapon: a 30-hour course.

Run It Once now hosts “Practical ICM Mastery,” which promises to teach tournament players how to actually think, not just memorize charts.

Scott Seiver opened up about missing out on the Poker Hall of Fame, and he did not mince words about how it fueled his motivation.

According to Seiver, “being undervalued” was the secret sauce behind his three-bracelet summer, a run he says was partly driven by that snub.

He also took some shots at the current state of poker theory, arguing that GTO play is draining the game of its original charm. Seiver contrasted poker’s increasingly mathematical approach with the collaborative chaos of the MIT Mystery Hunt, which he described as a marathon of puzzle-solving.

If you want a taste of high-stakes side stories, including a wild Lehman Brothers internship saga and hot takes on video game artistry, Seiver delivers. Just don’t expect him to campaign for the Hall of Fame anytime soon.

There’s more to Garrett’s book than just Jack-Four.

Garrett Adelstein’s memoir, Beneath the Cards, is now out and already topping Amazon’s new releases in Poker and Sports Biographies.

PokerNews notes that the book is selling well, especially among those interested in Adelstein’s side of the Jack-Four controversy, which gets about 10 percent of the book.

If you think Garrett was wronged, you’ll probably enjoy his new arguments and the appendices with additional evidence. If you side with Robbi Jade Lew, though, be prepared to disagree with a lot of what you read.

The memoir is more than just controversy, though. It offers a behind-the-scenes look at high-stakes poker, with Adelstein as your tour guide. As PokerNews puts it, this is a world closed to most, and the book opens the curtain for an intimate look few have seen.

Spraggy with some solid WCOOP advice.
