If Hellmuth Twitter feed is to be believed, the Poker Brat is set to join the cast of Dancing with the Stars – the U.S. version of Strictly Come Dancing – when it is sent to next March.

Writing in his Twitter last weekend (Dec. 18), Hellmuth said, “OMG! Phil Hellmuth (me!) on “Dancing with the! Stars” Outrageous! May make a fool out of myself Worldwide Television, once again …”

If the rumors are true, Hellmuth could make a monumental fool of himself, as for those unfamiliar with the show, it features celebrities prancing around on screen in skimpy sequined outfits. Contestants are paired with professional ballroom dancers as they shimmy across the floor performing a host of dance routines, including the foxtrot and the rumba, in a bid for the Dancing with the Stars (DWTS) crown.

And if Phil’s Jitterbug is as good as his gambling he may just find himself rubbing shoulders with past DWTS champions Donny Osmond and Dirty Dancing star Jennifer Grey. 6ft6 portly Phil should be warned, though, the public doesn’t take kindly to contestants carrying a couple extra pounds.

In the last series, which finished in November, Sarah Palin’s recently-pregnant daughter Bristol graced the dance floor, only to receive a barrage of criticism from the media. One comedian branded her “the white Precious” and said she was “the only contestant to gain weight”.

In response to the comments Bristol said winning SWTS “would be like a big middle finger to all the people out there that hate my mom and hate me.” Sadly she finished third so she never got to swear. But let’s hope Hellmuth – who seems equally inept at handling criticism – fares better if he does take part in 12th series. Perhaps the thought of all the sequins and lycra will motivate him to shed the pounds and have the last word on Huck Seed’s $100k weight loss bet.

Only time will tell whether these promises are good, but one thing is for sure though, if the Poker Brat is not getting his jive on national television, the poker player will surely be in some respects …

The in-built house benefit that casinos wield over all the games they offer is persistent, a virtual assurance to wear down every gambler’s bankroll over the extended haul.

But did you know the velocity at which people play the games has a direct force on how hard the house perimeter will hit them?

Because you can play a slot machine more rapidly than any table game, it is significant to play at a slower pace. Spinning the reels every few seconds during any given playing session translates into a major asset, every dollar of which gets hammered by the house edge.

By slowing down the speed at which you play slots you give yourself a fighting chance of staying in the game longer.

Video poker has a legion of fans who are attracted to the game because every hand you are dealt and every card you draw is as random as a computer program will allow.

This makes the game as close as humanly possible to playing with your own 52-card deck at the kitchen table. A virtual deck of cards is constantly being shuffled between plays in the game’s computer program.

When you make a bet and hit the deal button, the shuffling stops and five cards are dealt off the top popping up left to right on the screen. The shuffling of the remaining virtual cards continues until you make a decision on what to hold.

When you hit draw, the number of cards you need to fill your hand pop up in the vacated spaces.

Of all the wagers you can make in a casino there is one in which the odds aren’t stacked against you. That wager is called “free odds” and it’s found at the craps tables. The odds are free because the house takes no edge on them.

Payoffs are made at true mathematical odds. Here’s what you should know. Once you make a line bet and a point is established, you have the option of making an additional bet that the point will be made.

Playing free odds is essential to taking advantage of the opportunities at the dice table and in doing so you’re also trimming even further the low house edge that the casino takes on line bets. It’s really the best bet you can make on any casino game and makes learning how to play craps well worth the effort.

Building up playing credits on slot and video poker machines carries seeds of destruction for recreational gaming enthusiasts. When you are playing with electronically metered credits instead of cold, hard cash, it is easy for your money to lose its value.

Always be aware accurately how much money you have on the machine in credits no matter what number you are playing. With the increase in the number of low-denomination slot games, it’s easy to forget that pennies add up to dollars. Don’t make the mistake of extravagant away any good luck by neglecting

Aussie poker pro Jonathan Karamalikis entered the final table of the PokerStars APPT Sydney Main Event was overshadowed by a pair of professional poker players who have come from other parts of the world, Daniel Negreanu and Roland DeWolf.

Negreanu and DeWolfe entered the final table at opposite ends of the spectrum, with DeWolfe the chip-leader and Negreanu the short-stack at the table. Not surprisingly, Negreanu was the first player eliminated, but what was definitely a shock was DeWolfe following him to the exit in 8th place!

Phil Hellmuth is now considering as one of the most successful poker players on the planet. Although not everyone cup of tea, his career earnings are unusual, the profits are still undefeatable cuff and no one could argue that he has raised the profile and awareness of the game of poker.

Born in 1964 in the United States and after crossing to the university, like many players today have only managed three years before he finishes his studies to concentrate on his poker career, a choice some would say.

He has collective over $11million in live tournament winnings alone which leaves him in 4^th place on the all time earnings list but you have to feel that considering his big wins came at an early age, if he had been born a couple of decades later then his earnings would be excessive. His one Main Event win in 1989 came with a prize of $755,000 at the time; certainly not a figure to turn your nose up at but paling in comparison to the $8-9million that it is worth these days.

He has held plenty of records throughout his career but there are two that stick out as being his biggest and most well-known achievements.

11 bracelets and still going strong

He won the WSOP Main Event at the age of 24 against Johnny Chan, who was defending his title at the time, in 1989 and with that victory came the honor of being the youngest player to have ever taken a Main Event victory. In itself, this is a great achievement but this record was not beaten until 2008 when Peter Eastgate at just 23, won the event. That’s an amazing 18 years that Hellmuth held this record, showing just how good you had to be at that age to win it.

The other record that sticks out and is still a record to date, is that he has won an amazing 11 WSOP bracelets throughout his career and sits atop a pack of players looking to overtake him.  There are a couple currently on 10 bracelets but it will surely take a while for Hellmuth to be dethroned, especially as he still has plenty of poker playing years in him; if Doyle Brunson can play into his 70s then why can’t Hellmuth?!

Should he be called Phil Hellmouth?

Hellmuth has always been a colorful figure and has been in some absolutely crazy bust-ups during his career. In recent years, with the emergence of strong online players, big tournament fields and younger and younger players, Hellmuth has been deemed to be a terrible loser; often exploding with rage when beaten by what he feels are inferior hands and players.

He calls himself the ‘Poker Brat’ and has made a secondary living from a merchandise range bearing that very name. He has developed this character well and while I have no doubt that he is normally being as genuine as possible, it wouldn’t surprise me if he hammed it up a bit now and then, especially when the TV cameras turn to him; fans love nothing more than to see Hellmuth blow up and even he believes “if it weren’t for luck, I’d win ‘em all”.

His success is impressive in the WPT as well; although he is yet to actually win a title he has made the final table four times and has cashed in their tournaments thirteen times to date. With his popularity and wallet swelling he was a perfect choice for TV show Poker after Dark where he battles it out with other huge pros like Daniel Negreanu and Annie Duke.

Married with children, Hellmuth is a very big family man and is ready for life away from the feel through the publication of numerous books, videos, DVDs, and created his own publishing house.

Whatever your personal opinion on the great man, you can not deny he is a great talent to the table and has brought anything but good exposure to the world of poker. Deserves his Hall of Fame site, it is also worthy of the Legends of Poker profile.

A list of Hollywood celebrities has “killed” in an attempt to raise money for charity. These artists have signed all the social media networking platforms like Twitter and Facebook, to raise a target amount of $ 1 million (S $ 1.3 million) to charity Keep a Child Alive.

The National Series is the European equivalent to the Regional Series that the WPT will be holding in the United States. In both cases, the events will carry World Poker Tour branding, but will not award points toward the WPT Player of the Year race, and winners will not receive free entries into the $25,000 WPT World Championship.

The next World Poker Tour event in this period is not a televised event in Marrakech this weekend. The “Five Diamond World Poker Classic”, next televised event held at the beginning of the Bellagio in Las Vegas on December 3.

Jonathan Duhamel is the first Canadian poker player who won the World Series of Poker. His age is 23years. He left the university to pursue a full time poker career, but discourages others from doing the same, saying “I don’t think people should quit school.”

If you win poker as much as you want, you might be surprised that some adjustments to his style of play can make great positive changes in their funds. Here are some Texas Hold’em tips by professionals.

Aggressive play: Playing aggressively is very important in Hold’em. The only people who make the big time Hold’em players are aggressive. However, playing an aggressive game does not mean stupid. Aggressive play requires a delicate balance and attention to your chip count. Just to play aggressively when it makes sense to do so, otherwise the risk is too much.

Stealing Blinds: When you have the opportunity in late position, always try to steal the blinds to cut it. To do this, you should be aware of all the players still holding tight, the players’ actions that you consider to be loose and the relative size or stacks of chips you’re less likely to be called with a big stack. It is also important to recognize any player who defends the blind.

Marginal Hands: Play marginal hands (and a lot of hands) are properly critical. You should never play the blinds or attitudes at the beginning, always placing pre-flop, but never bet too much if the flop does not work for you to get ours in the kitchen and forget to go after bowel forehand.

Pot Odds: Learn to compute pot odds. Most players either can’t or don’t bother. By paying attention and playing only with a positive expectation you can increase your win rate enormously. Once you understand how it works you can manipulate the pot odds in your favor.

All-ins: Going all-in and call an all-in Hold’em is the adrenaline, but also a way to finish a tournament early. Try to seal the deal before going all in, and make sure that the odds are in your favor. Similar arguments apply to the convening of an all in, which, except in exceptional circumstances a player goes all-in will have a strong hand.

These all are the poker tips which help you to play poker and increase your bank roll.

The Forbes list of the Top-Earning deceased Celebrities Michael Jackson has on top.

The slightly macabre list calculates which dead celebs have earned the most in the past year.

According to the macabre list Michael Jackson made $275 million, more than the other 12 celebrities on the list combined.

Michael also made more money than the combined earnings of this year’s two biggest living acts, U2 and AC/DC.

Michael Jackson’s huge posthumous earnings come from his share in the lucrative Sony/ATV catalog, the film This Is It and of course renewed fan interest in his music, videos and merchandise.

Elvis Presley follows Michael Jackson, with earnings in the range of $60 million. Other notable entries were JRR Tolkien in third place, and John Lennon in fifth place.

With our country’s federal government nearing validation and regulation of online poker, the Supreme Court of South Carolina is involved in a debate over the game’s official classification.

Long considered by politicians to be a game whose results are comprised merely of chance, poker has recently begun to make inroads into the territory of skill. This comes on the heals of numerous research studies which prove that, while susceptible to luck in the short term, the winners and losers are often determined by shrewd play and mathematics.

Why South Carolina? The answer lies in an incident which took place four years ago, when 25 individuals were arrested during a raid on a private residence. Their crime? Playing poker for money. Each person was arrested, with 20 pleading guilty to the charges. Five players refused to give in, and were ruled guilty at trial.

This conviction was later overturned by Circuit Judge Markley Dennis, who ruled that Texas Hold’em fell under the umbrella of games of skill. As one would expect, the Poker Player’s Alliance took a special interest in the litigation. John Pappas, the group’s executive director, has spent a great deal of time in the state over recent weeks, preparing to assist in the cause.

Under official state law, it is currently illegal for residents of South Carolina (and most other states) to play online poker for money in their own homes. Assuming that the five justices continue on their current course, this stance could change partway through 2011.

The purveyor of the highly-successful namesake celebrity gossip blog Perez Hilton said, “He is going to stop bullying celebrities”.

Perez Hilton, born Mario Armando Lavandeira, Jr., has posted a Youtube video, which touches on teenage suicides linked with bullying.

“I need to be the change that I want to see. I need to be the solution and not part of the problem,” he said on the video, adding that in the past, he has said “hurtful” things about people.

Hilton noted that some critics have come after him and said he is a bully toward various celebrities.

“I don’t want to have to justify what I do anymore,” Hilton said. “I don’t want to continue things as they are—I need to change, and I’m going to, starting today.”

He said he still wants to be fun and sassy on his blog, but not “malicious, hurtful, and nasty.”

Hilton said he could do more via his actions and said things will be different on his website.

“Would people still visit my site if I wasn’t as salacious or Perez-sious as I used to be. If I was less nasty or biting, would my traffic go down?” he asked. “Well, you know what, even if it does—I don’t care.”

Perez Hilton said that he launched more websites like a fashion website, a fitness site and a site dedicated to animal rights activism.

Audley Harrison has signed a finance deal with Full Tilt Poker to the front of his World Heavyweight title fight with David Haye in November.

Audley Harrison will symbolize the fastest growing online poker site at a number of high profile live tournaments. While Full Tilt Poker branding will be prominent on the 38 year-old when he steps into the ring against David Haye at the M.E.N Arena on November 13, in one of the biggest all-British fights the country has ever seen.

The Londoner had a chance meeting with Matchroom Sport managing director Eddie Hearn at the World Series of Poker in 2009. Both entered the main event and the business man drew a seat next to the Olympic gold medallist and after discussions, Harrison agreed to enter Matchroom Sport’s Prizefighter Heavyweights III tournament in October that year.

The fighter went on to win the event at London’s ExCeL before claiming the European title with a dramatic final round knockout of Michael Sprott, a title he vacated to path the way to his forthcoming Sky Box Office clash with Haye. Harrison is currently training at Big Bear in California ahead of the fight and Sky Sports News will be reporting on his training live with the fighter from 3.10pm (UK time) and throughout the rest of the day.

Harrison takes his poker very seriously and has the results to back it up with – a pair of WSOP cashes sit next to a runner’s-up finish at the Bellagio Cup and a third place ending at the Venetian Deep Stack in June this year.

“I fell in love with poker while living in Las Vegas and have spent time learning how to play the game from the professionals who reside there,” said Harrison. “I have had some great results already in the game and Eddie and I have been looking at joining the right team for a while now. We have found the perfect partner in Full Tilt Poker and I look forward to representing them both in the ring and on the tables. Next time I’m in action on the felt, I plan to have the WBA Heavyweight Championship belt round my waist.”

“I have heard it a hundred times from sportsmen and celebrities who think they can play the game but very few can, Audley is certainly in that small number,” said Hearn, Harrison’s promoter. “I watched him come close to winning the deep stack event at the Venetian in July and I think he has a big tournament result in his locker. The partnership with Full Tilt poker is an exciting one and I know Audley will be a great ambassador for the brand.”
