			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s always so much fun when a <a href="http://www.shinepoker.com/recommended-casinos/">poker site</a> finds something other than cash or a live tournament entry prize package to offer as a reward (though there&#8217;s nothing wrong with cash and live tournament entry prize packages, of course). And <a href="http://www.shinepoker.com/pokerstars-review/">PokerStars</a> has once again come up with a winner in the form of another sports car. You may remember that earlier in the year, another <a href="http://www.shinepoker.com/pokerstars-review/">top poker site</a>, Party Poker gave away an Aston Martin DB9 Coupe. This time it&#8217;s Poker Stars, and they&#8217;re giving away a <a href="http://www.resimlerindir.com/r-araba-resimleri-2-lamborghini-gallardo-1244.htm">Lamborghini Gallardo</a>.</p>
<p>The promotion is called the <a href="http://www.shinepoker.com/2010/07/poker-stars-to-give-away-free-lamborghini-to-player/">PokerStars Lamborghini Freeroll</a> and &#8211; yes &#8211; it is a freeroll based tournament, with 24 freeroll qualifier tournaments running daily between July 25 and September 25. And in addition to the $200,000 dream car being awarded, <a href="http://www.shinepoker.com/pokerstars-review/">PokerStars</a> also promises over $1 million in cash will be awarded during the promotion, with $100,00 Weekly Finals and the $250,000 Grand Final.</p>
<p>In addition to the 24 daily freeroll qualifiers, there are also cash satellite tournaments into the weekly finals for buy-ins of $1.10 and $11.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last week we brought you word of the 2010 PokerStars Spring Championship of <a href="http://www.shinepoker.com/">Online Poker</a> schedule, and in that post we briefly mentioned that the site was offering 3 table stakes ranges for each of the series’ 38 tournaments. So we thought it would be nice to give you lower and medium stakes players a bit more info on what <a href="http://www.shinepoker.com/pokerstars-review/">PokerStars</a> has in store for you in this 2010 SCOOP.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.shinepoker.com/2010/04/poker-stars-scoop-2010-satellites-are-on/">The PokerStars 2010 SCOOP</a>—running Sunday, May 2 through Sunday, May 16—is offering lower stakes versions of each event with buy-ins of approximately 1% of the cost of the “regular” (high stakes) version. Best of all, the prize pool is far more than 1% of the prize pool for the original versions—a full 25% of 1/4th the prize pool.</p>
<p>So that means for event #2, the 1st of three 2-day events in this year’s <a href="http://www.shinepoker.com/2010/04/poker-stars-scoop-2010-satellites-are-on/">PokerStars SCOOP</a>, you low-stakes players would pay only $22 instead of $2,100, and yet be able to win a share of a $500,000 guaranteed prize pool rather than the original’s $2 million.</p>
<p>By the same token, the main event buy-in for low stakes players in the 2010 <a href="http://www.shinepoker.com/2010/04/poker-stars-scoop-2010-satellites-are-on/">PokerStars SCOOP</a> is the 2-day main event is $109 rather than $10,300 and the prize pool is $1 million guaranteed rather than $5 million.</p>
<p>As for the medium stakes players, the buy-ins for your 2010 <a href="http://www.shinepoker.com/2010/04/poker-stars-scoop-2010-satellites-are-on/">PokerStars SCOOP</a> seats are all approximately 1/10th (10%) the cost of the originals, but the prize pools are much closer to their originals, in some cases even matching the originals. Look at the kickoff event on May 2, the original being a $2,100 buy-in for $1 million guaranteed. Well the medium stakes equivalent has a $215 buy-in, but still offers a $1 million prize pool.</p>
<p>The prize pools for the mid and high stakes 2010 <a href="http://www.shinepoker.com/pokerstars-review/">PokerStars</a> SCOOP events aren’t always identical, but the mid-stakes prize pools are never less than half of the original high-stakes versions. And the prize pool for the <a href="http://www.shinepoker.com/pokerstars-review/">PokerStars</a> 2010 SCOOP main event for mid-stakes players, instead of $5 million, is a still handsome $3 million guaranteed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are plenty of <a href="http://www.shinepoker.com/">rakeback websites</a> but the very most of them are not attractive enough for VIP players that rake way more than an average player. As an average player you can find some very good deals, no doubt about that. But if you make twice as much rake or even more you should get much better deals. Sure, some rakeback sites offer rake races and promotions like that to give better players a bit more rakeback but this is often just a tiny difference.</p>
<p>So what is a better player supposed to do? He can try to negotiate with <a href="http://www.shinepoker.com/">poker sites</a> directly to get a way better deal. Sometimes this works (depending on the poker rooms policy) but it&#8217;s a waste of time more often. A better idea is to look for somebody with good contacts that can arrange such deals with <a href="http://www.shinepoker.com/">poker rooms</a> that are ready to give better players better deals, so called <a href="http://www.top-rakeback.net/">VIP rakeback</a>.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s easier to find <a href="http://www.shinepoker.com/2010/01/where-vip-players-get-vip-rakeback/">good rakeback deals</a> at some of the networks like ipoker, ongame, entraction, boss media, microgaming, cake and so on. It&#8217;s almost impossible to find special Full Tilt or Pokerstars deals. We can highly recommend <a href="http://www.top-rakeback.net/30-rakeback-at-entraction-poker-at-trickyplaycom/">entraction rakeback</a>. This network is the fastest growing network and one of the best places for European players. And you can get some good deals there.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over at <a href="http://www.shinepoker.com/pokerstars-review/">PokerStars</a> this weekend, a 22-year-old Russian player going by the name of innerspy accepted the challenge posed by the Russian Card Game Masters and hosted by <a href="http://www.shinepoker.com/pokerstars-review/">Poker Stars</a> to try and break the world&#8217;s record for the most number of hands played in one sitting. And he did it!</p>
<p>Innerspy sat down for just over 18 1/2 hours at <a href="http://www.shinepoker.com/pokerstars-review/">PokerStars</a> last Saturday and in that time played an amazing 40,088 hands of <a href="http://www.shinepoker.com/">online poker</a>. Until that time, he hadn&#8217;t played more than 20,000. But when he heard the challenge posed, he knew he was capable of taking it on, and apparently he was absolutely right.</p>
<p>But it wasn&#8217;t easy. To add to the pressure, this all took place in front of 10,000 fans watching over their computers.</p>
<p>Now that it&#8217;s over, Innerspy says it will be a lot easier for him to achieve his goal of becoming a PokerStars Supernova Elite member.</p>
