To Slow Play or Not to Slow Play - That is the Question
Getting max value out of your hand is one of the most important aspects of any type of poker. How would you approach a hand where you flopped the nut-flush with the preflop raiser betting into you on the flop? How would you approach this same hand if you turned an unbeatable royal-flush?
PokerStars Team Pro Tyler "frosty" Frost recently had to plan his attack in this exact situation on a $200 NL table. Frost discusses this hand in a six-minute video in a Poker Bites session with fellow Team Pros Isaac "Ike Haxton" Haxton and Felix "xflixx" Schneiders.
You can check out all the discussion and how this played out for yourself by heading over to the PokerStars blog titled, To slowplay or not to slowplay?

Viktor “Isildur1″ Blom's Up and Down Day
Full Tilt Poker is the home to the biggest stakes anywhere online. The Full Tilt blog typically recaps most of the action so you can follow along even if you weren't watching the live action yourself.
In a blog titled, Isildur1 Up & Down as bbvisbadforme Wins Heads-Up at Triple Draw, you can read all about how Viktor "Isildur1" Blom battled "bbvisbadforme" in $500/$1,000 and $1,000/$2,000 no-limit triple-draw heads-up action.
Blom began his day with a bang winning over $108,000 right out of the gate. Blom is never one to quit while he is ahead, and unfortunately for him gave all his winnings back to his opponent later on in the day.
