Leon Bui Wins Grosvenor UK Poker Tour Grand Final Main Event

Leon Bui has won the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour Grand Final Main Event and £144,905, bringing the 2010 tour to an exciting finale. He faced tough opposition from a field of 207 who entered the £2,500 buy-in event to compete for the last Main Event title of the year. 

Bui’s victory saw his huge first prize propelling him to the top of the year’s GUKPT Prize Money Rankings, with over £200,000 in winnings. The end of the final tournament on the main tour also brings to an end the contest for the Ranking Points Leaderboard, which has been won by David Johnson (£20,000)– incidentally the bubble in the Grand Final – with Alli Mallu in second place (£10,000) and Neil Channing third (£5,000).

The Champion of Champions Festival, held at G Casino, Coventry, on Saturday 4th December, will be the last series of events held in 2010. This unique festival features an invite-only freeroll that will give everyone who has taken a title on the GUKPT Main Tour, Summer Series, Club Championships, Online 10% Series or National Poker League a shot at a bite of the £150,000 prize pool, with their starting chips allocated according to number and size of events won. There will be a live blog and photographs from this event, which promises to be as tough a challenge as any Main Tour leg.

Why Poker Sites Monitor Your Computer Activity
If you take the time to read the user agreement for most online poker sites, you will see that a small portion of the agreement deals with the poker room’s ability to monitor your computer’s activity during game play.

Gambling A To Z: E
The fifth part of our "Gambling A to Z" series is here and today we'll be looking at "Edge", "Expectation" and "Exacta".

Picking the Right Table
On entering your favourite poker web site, where do you aim for first? Your preferred card game, a ring game with a stake limit that you are most comfortable with, a tournament with a monster jackpot or all three? Depending on what sort of player you are, the funds that you have available and the limits you have on your time, there are thousands of opportunities to explore, and thousands more games to get involved in. However, the sharpest players use a different means of selecting their tables.

NL Tournament Coin Flip Situations
When playing in a No Limit Hold’em poker tournament, you will almost certainly be faced with at least one coin flip situation, where your tournament life hangs in the balance.

Know Your Outs and Pot Odds
Most poker players, even complete novices, will be aware of the concept of pot odds. To become a long term winner at poker, it is essential to put your chips into the pot only when receiving the correct price (or better). As luck evens itself out over time, if you only ever contest pots that offer better than your true odds of winning, you will make a long term profit at poker.

Opening Hand Selection - Hold It or Fold It
Probably, the most influential decision you will ever make in a game of poker is whether to play or fold your pocket cards. Although there is a saying that “You have to be in it to win it”, knowing when to play the hand you are dealt, and when to fold, is vitally important.

How to Play Low/Mid-Pocket Pairs
Being dealt a low or mid pocket pair in Texas Hold'em can lead to all sorts of dilemmas. Depending on your position on the table and the action that has gone down in front of you, your cards could be exceptionally valuable, or not worth the paper they are printed on.
