Put Solid Management Behind the Company

First, Full Tilt needs to put together a management company that will not only satisfy the DOJ terms, but also put a bit of confidence back into online players minds. Nobody with any stake in the old Full Tilt should be allowed in any type of upper management role.

Forget the AGCC and Go with Isle of Man or Another Licensing Body

For whatever reason, GBT seems to be implying that they will reapply with the Alderney Gambling Control Commission for a license after the company is back up and running.

First, the AGCC did next to nothing to protect people prior to the Full Tilt debacle and there is nothing suggesting they will do any better.

Pokerstars on the other hand were forced to segregate accounts by Isle of Man and this alone saved their skins once the US was blocked. Full Tilt needs to make a similar move.

Reestablish Pro Stable and Have them Rally for New Full Tilt

Regardless of what people claim, many poker players are lemmings. They will go to the place where a majority of the pros play just for the chance to see or even play with them. That gimmick worked well for Full Tilt in the past, and it will work for them again. Play, chat, learn, and don’t get ripped off by the pros.

If Full Tilt wants to move back up among the elite poker sites on the web, they need to take the above points into consideration. The UltimateBet scandal proved people are willing to forgive if you give them a reason to. If Full Tilt can prove that it is not the same company as it was, players will return and in mass.

The only way to attract non-gamblers into a casino and perhaps convert them into gamblers is by offering non-gambling amenities. These amenities often include top-tier restaurants, theaters, unique attractions, and high-end shopping. The concept for the modern casino is that once the non-gamblers are close to the casino floor, they might take a shot at the slots or another casino game. If you’re ever in a modern casino, notice how it’s set up. All of the amenities geared to attract the non-gamblers are close to the casino floor. In some cases, these amenities and attractions will even be on the casino floor. The thinking here is that if a person must walk through the casino to get to a restaurant, they might be tempted to play a game or two.

Complementary are another factor. Modern casinos don’t just offer comps to their players, but their families as well. For example, if a gambler is married and a hotel casino offers two free nights for two people, he is likely to bring his wife. What is she going to do while he plays poker or blackjack? She’s going to play the slots, of course. If she loses, the casino wins. If she wins, she will be interested in coming back again. By the way, if you’re a good poker player, then you can make a profit at a casino. If you’re married and you’re offered a comp, take it. While your wife, fiancé or girlfriend might lose a little money at the slots, it will still pay off. You will get free meals, a free room, and you will have an opportunity to explore local attractions.

That’s one good option for a wise gambler. However, an even better option is to look into online gambling casinos. Though it might sound strange, online casinos can also fall into the “modern” category. A modern online casino is one with advanced software for great graphics, fast payouts, huge bonuses and 24-hour customer service. With everything online gambling has to offer, most intelligent gamblers prefer to play online instead of visiting a live casino.

UFC Vault is a pretty cool idea, giving fans the ability to watch a selection of old matches, Pride FC fights, and dark matches that otherwise never get broadcast. Problem is, this normally costs money. And it’s pretty expensive – up to $2 a fight.

So UFC decided to do this promotion with Edge shaving gel, where people who buy the shaving cream get a free 3 month Vault subscription. All you have to do is enter the UPC code from your can of shaving cream to get your free subscription. There is no need to enter any credit card data!

As anyone with a functioning brain realizes, all UPC codes are the same. So you don’t have to buy a can of shitty shaving cream to get the deal. You just need the number, which is 046500020353.

So here’s what you do:

1. Go to this page (it’s the page for the promotion)
2. Enter the UPC 046500020353
3. Complete the registration (name, email, birth date, but no credit card # is required)
4. Enjoy 3 months of UFC footage in crappy 360P quality!

The problem is, nobody knows about it! This site gets shit for traffic, because it’s tough to get other poker webmasters to link to you. Everyone is afraid that they’ll lose potential commission when someone decides to sign up for a poker room, so they are afraid to link to other good sites. Sure, there are tons of crappy SEO’d poker sites with uselss content that will exchange thousands of links, but that’s a waste of time.

Anyway, I need to get the word out that I have this awesome site. So I decided to bribe you people!

That’s right, I am going to pay money to get more readers. Who’s the loser now, right?

It’s mostly going to be based on Twitter; when I hit 5000 followers, I am going to start the contest where the winner gets $666 USD. You can spend it anywhere you want, hopefully in a poker room (it’s in Neteller, so this will be easy, even if you’re in USA and are worried about getting screwed by your formerly incompetent government).

So follow me on Twitter, and tell all your broke ass friends that they should follow me too if they want a break in life. When I hit 5000, I’ll launch the contest here (and on Twitter)

If you’re logged into Twitter right now, this link will tell all your followers about my contest.

To make an ugly post a bit prettier, how about a nice candid shot of the cutest pro poker player ever, The Poker Diva herself, Liz Lieu!

Super Cute! I’ve been following her twitter lately, as she travels to her home country of Vietnam. She posts regular pics, and it’s worth checking out. By the way, you can play against her on ChiliPoker! Anyway back to business. Here are the links:

Later, losers!

That’s why I decided to start this poker blog. To share the wealth of information that resides in my beautiful head. I’ll be talking about poker strategies, news, poker room reviews, and offering great bonus codes so you can get some free money to lose to me.

Let’s get things straight first of all. I’m a jerk. A real asshole (I could have called this site “The Poker Asshole” but that just sounds perverse). I pull no punches, and don’t hold back on sharing exactly what I am thinking, good or bad. This is because I know I am better than everyone at just about everything. If you can’t take it, go cry to your momma. If you can, you will learn to be like me – smart and successful (sorry I can’t help you with your looks).

For those people, stick around and enjoy the site. You will be a better person because of it (but not better than me).
