Full Tilt Announces Changes To The Monthly Edge Leaderboards
Full Tilt announced on a blog titled Changes to the Monthly Edge Leaderboards that there will be new changes on how the leaderboards will work beginning on July 1. Unfortunately, the changes are not so great for the players as the room will feature fewer leaderboards and reward less players.
Some of the changes include consolidating different types of games into the same leaderboard, thus eliminating some of the leaderboards players are used to competing on. Some other leaderboards, such as All Heads-Up Sit & Go, Heads-Up Ring Games and Other Ring Games will be fully removed.
Additionally, Full Tilt will be removing the Edge Status Bump leaderboard prizes for players finishing in positions 4th-25th.
Learn more on the Full Tilt Blog about the changes to the Monthly Edge leaderboards.
The Art Of Bluffing
Bluffing is one of the trickier parts of poker. Sometimes it is all about timing and knowing which players you can bluff in which situations. Even if you feel confident a bluff will work, you never know when it will turn into a disaster for you.
Partypoker pro Tony Dunst gives you some things to think about in a blog titled Teach The People: The art of bluffing. Reading the blog will help you understand the ideal situations when to bluff on one or multiple streets. While your bluff may not work every time, you can increase your chances for this move to succeed if you are thinking about the best spots to make your play.
