What happens in Vegas…

…is invariably awesome.

Back from Vegas, will do a write up later. In the meantime, lemme test this little banner thing for work.

*update*
Fuck wordpress and it’s lack of div support. I’ll shove it in the sidebar and see what happens.

Here’s the code.

<div style=”width: 125px; background-color: #fff; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 10px; text-align: center;”>
<div style=”border: 1px solid #05afc0;”>
<div style=”display: block; height: 24px; font-size: 0px; background-image: url(‘http://www.lolcatpics.com/images/dp/betfair.gif’)”></div>
<div style=”color:#000; height: 90px; overflow: hidden;”>
<div style=”padding: 3px 0px 0px 5px;”>
Qualify for the <a href=”http://wsope.betfair.com/”>WSOPE world series poker europe</a>
and <a href=”http://www.betfairpoker.com” target=”_blank”>Play Online Poker</a> or <a href=”http://www.betfair.com” target=”_blank”>Bet Online</a>.<br />
</div></div>
<div style=”overflow: hidden; font-size: 10px; height: 39px; background-image: url(http://www.lolcatpics.com/images/dp/betfair2.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat;”>
<div style=”padding: 5px 0px; text-align: center;”>
Betfair is the only place to qualify for the <a href=”http://wsope.betfair.com”>WSOP Europe</a></div></div></div></div>

God of Poker SEO

This is a test to see how difficult it is to rank for the term God of Poker SEO.

All I’m going to do is throw the keyword God of Poker SEO into this post a few time. Focus on making sure there’s the keywords broken apart into sentences, so throw the words God of Poker and the explain to all you folks at home that I am in the SEO industry and my new bosses boss knows about SEO. I think his decision to tell us he ranks number one for God of Poker SEO is probably a poor example as I doubt there’s any competing traffic.

It is possible that getting to rank for this deity term is quite difficult, so I’ll throw in a few objects like using Google Sets which gives some humorous linked words for the term God and Poker.

I don’t know if this will end up as a red card to Google or not but if nothing else it is a good test of my onpage search engine optimisation.

I might now empahasise the words rabbits and cards for no other reason than it appeared in the sets. SEM is also in there as a synonym.

In this last sentence I’ll add the term God of Poker SEO one last time and then sort out my meta tags and title, etc.

*UPDATE* Heh, heh. Been rumbled. Managed to get 3rd having practically forgotten about doing this, lol.

I’ve now spoken to him and he does actually know what he’s talking about and I’m not just saying that cos I’ve been busted.

For the real Poker God of SEO check out his site and I’d like to thank him for increasing my user base on this blog by 33%. Expect spammy email marketing coming your way soon :D

Daniel Negreanu’s Poker VT

Okay, I don’t want this to turn into a total gambling blog as I’ll have to take down my adsense, but I’ve just been watching Daniel Negreanu’s new site Poker VT free videos and I’m loving these poker videos.

Very clever idea and something a bit different.

Might see if I can blag a free memebership somehow and watch a lot more :)

Stoxpoker

Okay, giving up playing 1c/2c cash, absolute waste of time. Get in with the best of it and get sucked out on every time. It’s only a few dollars, but it pains me too much to grind out $2 and then lose a buy in when somebody sucks out on me and there’s no way I’m not putting my money in when I’m ahead, especially considering how often I put it in when I’m behind :D

So, going to do low stakes tourneys, HU and MTTs as well as the odd satellite. To that end I played a WSOP step 1 and got horribly beaten with shit calls. So I decided to go to Stoxpoker and watch a video there on doing steps by Colin Moshman.

Video training sites are awesome for advancing your game. To watch and learn how other people think really stimulates your own game.

So I played another one and did okay coming in 3rd, which gets me nothing but I followed the play laid out by Colin and eventually had to shove with Q6 and lost to A4, only had 2BB left so was going with anything.

I’ll try one more because $7.50 isa bit steep out of my now $120 bankroll and I’ll take on some low stakes MTTs later.
