We recently upgraded our poker directory section.

Check it out and give us feedback.

Hey all,

The owner and staff would like to wish all of our readers a happy holidays, and new year.

Hopefully we will all have productive new years, both at the poker tables and away from them.

The holidays are a great time to improve your game. Use some of that money on a poker book, or buy some software, or redeposit online:  this is your chance to start fresh, and play your best.

Start those new year’s resolutions early: patience, focus, and hard work. Now is as good a time as any to buckle down and play your best poker.

A new face has recently appeared in the biggest online games at Full Tilt Poker. The question is: is it a new player, or just a new screen-name?

According to highstakesdb.com: ‘papa ninja’ played a few sessions of $50/$100 PLO before jumping into the $200/$400 game, which leads some to speculate that it is a new player taking a shot at the nosebleeds.

So far no one has been able to pin who the account belongs to.

The country listed is the US, but that is by no means 100% accurate, since several players have used false countries of origin in the past.

It has also been revealed that ‘papa ninja’ is the name of an obscure Czech Republic rock band; we will see if this has any bearing on the player’s identity.

As of now, ‘papa ninja’ has played 16 sessions (roughly 32 hours) and is up $188,000.
