At a recent World Series of Poker Europe event Doyle Brunson got stuck into Phil Hellmuth over his recent attire and rather extravagent entrances to the events in full Roman Empire dress on a Chariot!
Phil Hellmuth is the most successful live tournament player of all time with many doubting his record will ever be matched. Doyle as one of the elder statesmen of the game and a true veteran of Poker feels traditional values are more important "I feel embarrassed for you" Doyle uttered at the end of their discussion about the matter.
This spat is our clip of the week found on Youtube and Embedded below for your convenience you can see their confrontation in full as well as clips of Hellmuth's costume.
In the first of our site reviews I want to cover the site that introduced me to online poker. Before finding this site I felt online poker was probably rigged, full of cheating or otherwise a bad idea.
Poker sites need to advertise their software, promotions and poker rooms to the public. Most people want to see what a new room looks like and if they enjoy playing there before they want to make a deposit.
As we all know though, poker is a lot more fun when it's played for real money so poker rooms load up free money and let you try out their games.

There's quite a few freerolls out there but the best are the Sunday $100 freeroll available every single week on FasterMule. This week they are on Poker Time but you should head there now and check them out as there will be an exciting new room to try out for free every week.

Microgaming Scandal Latest
The Microgaming Scandal was a real shock to the online poker world and you can read more about it on FasterMule Poker a great resource for online poker training and information.
For those of you not in the loop the cliffs are basically in the space of just 3 years two massive Microgaming skins (or poker rooms) have gone out of business and players have not received their money back. Microgaming as a network (shown being interviewed by the industry Body the APCW below) insist they are "just a software provider". It is worth noting that most other poker networks offer extensive protection to their players including auditing, sometimes even holding funds for their skins. If Microgaming are going to take this totally different approach and offer no protection it might be best to look elsewhere for more protection.
You can watch the full APCW video news report below.
