Everest Poker enrolling students for poker school

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

Europeans are being offered an opportunity to try poker in one of the largest free poker competitions in Europe. Everest Poker, Europe’s biggest online poker school is organizing 27 events across the continent, and dozens more online during the Everest Poker European Cup (EPEC) to teach Europeans the game of poker.The EPEC has been running successfully since 2006 and has offered thousands of players their first poker experience. Ever wanted to master the art of bluffing? Interested in learning how to detect your opponent’s tells - but alongside other beginners rather than experienced players? The Everest Poker European Cup is the easiest way for Europeans to discover the thrill of poker while meeting other players, and win one of 200 places to a fantastic weekend in the sun.

The Everest Poker European Cup launches in November 2008 with over a dozen live events in 11 countries. Each live event will offer free tournaments, poker tutorials and the opportunity for all participants to win a seat for the Final - a three-day weekend in a sunny resort (soon to be revealed!) where 200 Europeans will fight their way to win their share of a €100,000 prize.

Everest Poker has been offering Europeans unique poker experiences since 2004 with its combination of multilingual software available in 16 languages, unique live events and poker tournaments tailored to Europeans. Everest Poker is a trusted European leader in poker experience offerings.

Don’t “Over Concentrate”

Sunday, November 23rd, 2008

POKER TIP from Mad Genius Mike Caro:

I believe that some poker players try to concentrate too hard in the course of a game. They burn themselves out in the first hour and can’t play extended sessions in top form, even when the games are very profitable. Concentration is good in poker, but don’t force it to the extent that you’re uncomfortable. That adds pennies to your immediate profit, but can actually cost you money overall, because you don’t pace yourself and you can’t get as many hours into profitable games.

You can chat and play with the “Mad Genius”, Mike Caro, every Wednesday night at 9:30pm ET in the Bounty Tournament at Doyles Room.com.
