Sure, now that everyone watches poker on TV, they think Texas holdem is the only form of poker available. While it is the most popular form of online poker at sites like Pacific Poker, there are many different structures played in ring games and poker tournaments that are just as fun and profitable.
Take Omaha for example. It is very similar to Texas holdem but you are dealt more cards and there is less fluctuation in a player’s stacks and bankrolls. Add in the Hi/Lo variation and you can play more hands per hour and still be profitable.
There is also stud poker. This was a very popular form of poker before the days of the WSOP being televised. It is what your grandfather played when he was young. It has a little slower pace but can still be lots of fun. If you think you are really good, give a mixed game a shot. There is no truer evaluation of a poker player’s skill than playing a few rounds of HORSE. It may take a while to find some people to play against you, but when you do, you are in for a good time!
Whenever you are playing online poker, don’t limit yourself just to Texas hold’em ring games and poker tournaments. While the tables for these games usually fill up the fastest and have some of the biggest prize pools, you are really missing out if you don’t try other forms of the game.

I’ve been playing backgammon for a lot of years and consider myself a pretty serious player. I love the strategy involved and the chance of the dice. But once you’ve been playing for awhile I think you start become more interested in the whole experience, that’s what happened to me. It might be funny, but I started to really take my backgammon boards seriously.
Backgammon has been around since the ancient Egyptians, so there’s been plenty of backgammon boards created. When I was on a trip to the Middle East, I saw some really interesting backgammon boards; awesome artwork, raised points, checkers out of gem stones; they boards were awesome. And people over there take their backgammon seriously; great players. The best part, of course, was there at least, I could get these really beautiful boards for fairly cheap. So I bought a couple and brought them home. I have to say, my friends loved the boards and it really added to our backgammon play, it just adds another dimension.
Now, I’m not saying you need to fly to some far off location to enhance you backgammon game, but playing a unique backgammon board could be a nice change. I’ve been looking around lately and have found two alternatives. One is you can buy nice boards at the stores here or look for them in auctions. Or you can also play internet backgammon. There are sites online that let you play all types of backgammon boards; real ones that they downloaded online or imaginary ones that can be crazy and interactive. Either way, try out unique backgammon board and have fun.

Winning two WSOP bracelets back-to-back was just the beginning for Matt Graham, who represents the online poker room UltimateBet as part of TeamUB. The former medical student was in his third year of pre-med in Connecticut when the lure of the tables hit him. A consistent online poker career led to a trip to Atlantic City that netted him $23,000 over the course of the weekend and a career was born.

“It was slow at first, but I learned to beat the small stakes very quickly,” Graham states in an interview on UltimateBet. “I started playing SNGs and small limit cash games on UB and slowly worked my way up.”
Matt’s calm and collected playing style may owe something to his medical training. He’s been praised for being a gracious winner and loser, even in the competitive high-stress world of big-money tournaments. This may be one of the reasons that nobody begrudges him his $2.5m in winnings since the humble beginnings of his career.
“I played a home game at my manager’s house back when I used to deliver pizza during summers. We had a good time and they were really, really bad. I think I made more in the game after work than I did at work. This was only a $0.50/$1 NL game so I only made 1 or 2 hundred each night but it was huge money to me at the time.”
Since these late-night sessions, Graham’s become a force to be contended with. In 2008 and 2009, he won back-to-back WSOP bracelets for the Limit Hold ‘Em shootout and Pot Limit Omaha world championships. He also conquered the competitive Doyle Brunson Five Diamond World Poker Classic WPT event, taking the top spot and walking away with $320,000.
Graham’s still young and aiming at bigger and better goals in the game he loves. There’s no reason at all to think he won’t make it with the aplomb, wit, and charm that has made him a favorite of many of his peers
