Poker Questions?

I have no idea how much/how little interest there is in this - a poker blog for bridge players. However with the WSOP (World Series of Poker) going on, perhaps there is some interest. If you have any questions, or would like me to review a hand, please send me an email.

Welcome to the PokerMatters Blog

This blog will look at the considerations about online tournament poker for bridge tournament players.

First, why poker tournament play? Since the entry fee is fixed (somewhat if a rebuy tournament), the amount you can drop is limited. Since bridge tournament players are already conditioned to know they don't win most of the time, and treat bridge tournament entry fees as lost money, this non-winning experience will not be a problem for them in poker tournaments.
