Full Tilt has just unveiled an innovative informative site involving all the excitement of the “Durrrr Challenge”, an incredible online heads up tournament presenting some of the finest big money online players competing against the online poker star Tom “durrrr” Dwan.

The brand new section presents poker players and fanatics the opportunity to follow this incredible internet poker challenge and get timely statistical updates. With this innovative “durrrr Challenge” site players can track all the action and look at each poker hand played during the poker challenge, and get lots of statistics, including how many hands were played, session time, amount won, average won during each hand and lots more.

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

So far, a number of poker players have agreed to to play the Full Tilt “durrrr challenge”, including WSOP Champ Phil Ivey and David Benyamine, yet, only Patrick Antonius has agreed to the challenge. Thus far, both poker stars have engaged in a total of 20,647 hands out of 50,000, with durrrr up by $726,546 total.

Certainly the most despised personalities at the Texas Hold’em Poker table most every time will continually be the attention-seeker. You recognize the poker player I’m talking of. He’s the poker player that sits down at the no-limit Texas Hold’em table and makes clear you’re mindful that he wants all of your no-limit Texas Hold’em chips; exiting the no limit Texas Hold’em poker table with the exact same outlook that he arrived with. Even if this guy gets killed, he has in his mind that he is the best no-limit Texas Hold’em player in the world.

While the majority of poker players would prefer to dodge rivals of this class, there are other players who could say that bragging may have its advantages. So, the big question is: Is there really a skillful Texas Hold’em bragger or a bad no-limit Texas Hold’em boaster? Bragging about how skilled you are in poker is basically just like asserting: “I am the finest Texas Hold’em Poker player on the planet, always remember to stay on your A-game while you’re sitting in a poker game against me!” No doubt, that is the most awful vibe to give out playing poker. Furthermore, spilling too much info. about your poker playing manner can be harmful to your no-limit Texas Hold’em game. You undeniably do not want these players to find out how you play particular Texas Hold’em Poker hands.

Additionally there are those poker players who could exploit bragging as a kind of no-limit Texas Hold’em tactic, or bluff. Shooting off your mouth when you get a certain Texas Hold’em hand might probably fool your opponents and confuse them about your Texas Hold’em playing style. Some could think that this technique a bit devious, but it is key to keep in mind that there are not too many rules against it in no-limit Texas Hold’em. Texas Hold’em Poker is all about making use of what you have and taking advantage of it to the max.

The most prominent Texas Hold’em businesses out there are becoming partners soon in what is predicted to be an extremely successful project. The incredibly successful poker site FullTiltPoker.net has just announced that they are going to be partnering with World Poker Tour for the following W.P.T. season. Full Tilt Poker is going to be the primary promoter of the World World Poker Tour Enterprises’ seventh season, and the poker website is scheduled to be presented in every single one of the episodes which can be enjoyed on Fox Sports Net channel. Fulltiltpoker will gain all the control of the educational pieces of the episodes.

Details of this accord have not been revealed yet, but the agreement will definitely be a great achievement. This contract will unite two exceptionally prominent poker businesses. World Poker Tour which is an important force on TV by way of F.S.N. and Full Tilt Poker which has an enormous online fan base, and a Texas Hold’em poker lineup including players who have amassed a total of 10 W.P.T.E. awards and 35 W.S.O.P. bracelets. Full Tilt Poker also supports many other Texas Hold’em players and now the online poker website has started presenting Texas Hold’em teaching also.

This merger is certain to draw in a brand new set of fans and is guaranteed to suit the fresh fame which Texas Hold’em poker is causing. This accord denotes W.P.T.E.’s forfeit of the online poker room industry as World Poker Tour Enterprises will most likely close their Texas Hold’em site WPT online. The pay to play page ClubWPT.com will more than likely stay open.
