Full Tilt Poker have always been one of the great innovators of the online poker world. Creations such as Matrix Sit ‘n Go’s, Cashout Tournaments and the ever-popular Rush Poker format have brought a whole new level to the game to disprove the theory that No Limit Holdem is stale. Well, they’ve done it once again with the introduction of Multi-Entry Tournaments. Yes, it’s true. Finally Josh Field, Sorel Mizzi and Justin Bonomo have a tournament format to call their own.

How does it work? Well, as the name suggests you are allowed to buy-in multiple times into the one tournament. You can choose to do this at the start of the tournament, or use it as a second chance, similar to a rebuy, if you bust out early. Your multiple entries will never play on the same table, and if you have more entries in the tournament than there are tables, then your entries will merge so that this situation never occurs. It is possible to have two or more entries reach the money, but you’ll never have multiple entries on the final table. There is also a maximum number of entries allowable. This varies for each tournament, and will be displayed in the tournament lobby.

You can keep track of the progress of all of your entries in the tournament lobby with the handy “Show My Entrants” check box at the top of the player list. Will poker ever be the same again? It seems with all of the new innovations, formats and novelties that traditional  poker may never be the same again. Is this a good thing for poker? Some of our PNW members have discussed this evolution in our forums.

If you’re interested in trying out the new Multi-Entry Tournament format then you can download Full Tilt Poker here, then head to the tournament lobby and look out for the new Multi-Entry icon listed against the tournaments. It certainly looks like another winner for Full Tilt and we’re sure plenty of fun will be had with the new Multi-Table Tournament format.

If you’re interested in playing poker but consider yourself a beginner, an online poker site is a great place to start. You can learn poker online through play money games and freerolls, getting the hang of the structure of the game without risking real money. Once you feel more comfortable, you can move onto the real money games. There are games of all limits, so you can start out risking only a dollar or two and slowly move up to the serious stakes.

Your First Online Texas Hold’em Site

The first thing you will need to do is fi nd an online poker site. There is no shortage of these bonuses, and you can go to a poker review site to find the best one. Full Tilt Poker, Party Poker and Poker Stars are three of the largest online poker rooms. Before you sign up, be sure to get a poker bonus, which adds money to your account just for signing up and playing on a site.

Victoria’s gambling regulator has approved plans for a poker machine venue in Beaconsfield in Melbourne’s outer south-east, where children will be kept in a fully enclosed and soundproof playroom.

The room will be positioned so the children are in full-view of the venue’s poker machines, so parents can monitor their children from the gaming room. State Opposition spokesman Michael O’Brien says government policy is to blame for the approval, and the design must be changed.

“It is absolutely extraordinary the commission can allow a venue to startup which encourages parents to bring their kids and leave them in a soundproof room while they go off and play the pokies,” he said.

“This is John Brumby’s commission, applying John Brumby’s laws.” He says the plan is one step away from having a window onto the car park where children have been left in cars.

“We should be encouraging parents to properly supervise their children, and it is not proper supervision to say that it is okay to leave them in a soundproof room, as long as you can occasionally look in through a window,” he said.

Mr O’Brien says it is inappropriate for young children to be so close to poker machines. “There is a lot of research that shows that the earlier the children are exposed to gambling, the greater at risk they are of developing gambling problems themselves,” he said.

“This is actually being used as a marketing tool to encourage parents to expose their kids to gambling at an early age.”
