Bay 101 in San Jose, California, is one of the most exciting stops on each season’s World Poker Tour schedule.

The Bay 101 events are also famous for some memorable final tables, not the least of which was the 2009 event that saw Kathy Liebert and Steve Brecher, two seasoned pros, battle it out at a final table that set a new record for the most hands played.

Hopes of seeing the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) of 2006 repealed in any form by the deadline of June 1, 2010, are fading quickly as less than three months remain before the UIGEA regulations go into full effect. And three months with regards to the United States Congress is likely too short of a time period to enact a law to counter the online gaming-stifling UIGEA.The most hope for positive online gaming regulation came in the form of the May 2009 bill introduced by Rep. Barney Frank.

When tournament poker started becoming a mainstay on many television stations there were a few players that seemed to be showing up more often than not. In the early 2000’s, when poker started making regular appearances on television, there was still a pretty big disbelief that women were not only playing poker, but playing poker at a very high level. Luckily, the sight of a woman at a poker table is causing less head shaking, and the sight of a woman deep in a major poker tournament is growing comfortably common as well.

The vast majority of poker books that focus on Texas Hold’em have been written about the no-limit variant of the game, from Doyle Brunson’s seminal chapters in Super System to Dan Harrington’s three-volume tournament series and two-title cash game books. There are few books written by players of that magnitude on limit hold’em, a game that doesn’t have the reputation of its no-limit cousin, but is played even more frequently in cash games, both live and online.

In the first part of my review of the poker training site DragtheBar, I focused on the parts that I felt would help my game the most while hopefully giving the readers a pretty good indication of the kind of help that is available for those looking to make their game better. Today I am focusing on the other great features of DragtheBar, including the cash game video, blogs, and forum sections.As mentioned in my first post I was also looking to begin dabbling in low stakes cash games, and hopefully be able to eventually parlay that into being the next Tom “Durrrr” Dwan.

Several years had passed since the last Tournament of Champions was held at a World Series of Poker, and while fans requested that it be reinstated, the freeroll was a costly venture and left off the schedules in lieu of other big buy-in events. But wishes were granted, as it was announced on March 15 that there would be a 2010 Tournament of Champions at the WSOP in Las Vegas, and not only will it be filmed for broadcast on ESPN, but the majority of its participants will be chosen by the voting public.
