Sun, 26 Nov 2023 04:00:33 +0000

Thanksgiving is always a great time to reflect on what you are grateful for, and there are plenty of reasons for poker players in the United States to be grateful this year.

From the return of the PokerStars North American Poker Tour (NAPT) to the upcoming $40 million guaranteed World Poker Tour (WPT) World Championship, here are six reasons American poker players should be grateful this year.

The Return Of The North American Poker Tour

PokerStars made waves earlier this year when they announced the return of the NAPT after a 12-year hiatus. The short-lived US poker tour produced big-name winners like Vanessa Selbst and Jason Mercier, and its return to the luxurious Resorts World Las Vegas earlier this month was nothing short of spectacular.

Its no secret that the 2023 PokerStars North American Poker Tour (NAPT), which is taking place right now at Resorts World Las Vegas, marks the first NAPT in a dozen years.

But did you know that Thursday nights festivities marked the first PokerStars Players Party in Las Vegas in 13 years?

On Tuesday night, the most decorated tournament poker player in history at least in terms of World Series of Poker (WSOP) gold bracelets made his debut at the 2023 PokerStars North American Poker Tour (NAPT). 17-time bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth made his way to Resorts World and took a seat in Day 1c of the $1,650 Main Event.

The Poker Brat was in good spirits on his way into the venue, even taking out his phone and taking selfies with the likes of Julien Martini, Maria Konnikova, and Michael Ian Black and sharing on social media with #POSITIVITY.

Can Phil Hellmuth Fold Pocket Kings on Hustler Casino Live?

Wed, 01 Nov 2023 00:00:00 +0000

It is rare to see Phil “The Poker Brat” Hellmuth buy into a cash game extremely deep, but in this February episode from Hustler Casino Live he decided to sit with $300,000 in a friendly $100/$200 game! This was bound to create a recipe for a huge pot during the poker livestream and when Hellmuth wakes up with pocket kings, you just know there are going to be fireworks!

In this strategy column, I discuss the factors you should consider when playing extremely deep-stacked in cash games. The effective stack between Alan Keating and Hellmuth is around 150 big blinds! For this reason, Hellmuth should often want to four-bet preflop to force Keating to fold hands that will still have equity against his pocket kings and may end up costing him a huge pot.
