This Poker Week

An alliance of the weak was formed this last few weeks as Victory Poker - formerly the flagship poker room on the growing Everleaf Network joined the home of the rooms involved in the Absolute and UB Poker Scandals, the Cereus network. With a roster of well reputed pros one has to wonder how they will feel about being associated with a network even Phil Hellmuth eventually severed ties with.

Bulgarians, Slovenians and Polski's are many on what used to be the fishiest poker sites of the world. They prefer the sites with high rakeback to allow for their 'grinder' mentality where 10 hours a day of $5/hour is perfect melon for their juice. However it's not perfect melon for the game like it used to be. In the past they used to be so tight that a typical TAG could beat them easily just by stealing and the fish didn't find them annoying - probably barely noticed their presence. Now, however, the Bulgarians can play and that poses a unique problem.

The Worlds largest poker room (by PokerScout cash game statistics) continued to extend it's lead in the market by bringing exciting action Isildur1 beating Jungleman12 for $51,000 according to durrchallenge.com.

Viktor Blom captivated the poker world when he rocketed onto the scene and rocked Tom Dwan to the core with some amazing heads up, high stakes No Limit Holdem Action.
