Online Poker Players: Today’s New Celebs
According to the new Celebrity Apprentice Joan Rivers, professional poker players are “beyond white trash.” But I bet you could find millions of poker fans who disagree with that assessment. In fact, poker is incredibly popular at the moment and so are those who play it professionally. This is evidenced by the fact that professional poker players such as Scotty Nguyen, Mike Matusow, Phil Gordon and many others have become famous beyond anyone’s expectations in the last decade.
This surge in popularity has caused many to try their hand, so to speak, at making a living playing Internet poker websites. The results have been good for some and as a result, poker has created a whole new wave of Internet millionaires. These successful poker players are sometimes surprising, because there are almost as many teenagers and people in their early-twenties as there are seasoned professionals. Unfortunately, for every new batch of successful poker players, there are also those who have been victims of online gambling scams. These scams befall mostly new players, because they are lured by the promise of easy money and don’t do their homework first.
To make sure the same thing doesn’t happen to you, the following tips can help you assess whether a site has the potential to be a scam:
- If the site doesn’t look professional, don’t play there. Sub-standard construction could be an indicator of the work of a quick-buck artist or a cash-strapped owner who may go belly-up and take your winnings with him.
- Check if the site or its owners are members of the Interactive Gaming Council (IGC). IGC members pledge to follow a code of ethics.
- Make sure the site has 24-hour support with a toll-free phone number and e-mail.
- If a site passes the first three requirements, do several small test transactions before you do any major gambling. These should tell you a lot about the integrity of the site.
Everyone has to start somewhere, so with some luck and a lot of skill and practice, you too could become one of online poker’s new stars. Just make sure to do your homework first, so any success you achieve won’t be spoiled by regret.

Jersey Boys (2005 Original Broadway Cast Recording) $8.75 Although it squarely falls in the “jukebox musical” category, Jersey Boys doesn¹t try to integrate its songs in an artificial plotline. The show tells the story of the early-1960s group the Four Seasons, and the musical numbers tend to be introduced in context, as when songwriter Bob Gaudio comes up with a tune, or the quartet performs a show. This allows Jersey Boys to flow better than some of… |
