FullTiltPoker.net has recently launched an original informative site containing all the action of the “Durrrr Challenge”, an intense online heads up poker tournament highlighting some of the greatest high stakes poker players challenging the Heads Up Specialist Tom “durrrr” Dwan.

The brand new section offers online poker players and fans the opportunity to stay on top of this historical internet poker challenge and check out timely statistical updates. With this innovative “durrrr Challenge” section fans can follow all the poker action and review each hand played during this poker challenge, and look at tons of statistics, including how many hands were played, session time, cash won, average won during each hand and lots more.

Around six months ago, the twenty-three year old internet poker pro handed out a heads-up poker challenge open to any poker player with the loot, time and ability to accept it. Any poker star entering the durrrr challenge has to wager $500,000 against durrrr’s $1.5 million. Dwan’s challenge states that a minimum 50,000 poker hands need to be played simultaneously at 4 or more poker tables of no-limit Hold’em or pot-limit Omaha. At the end of the challenge, the poker player who has more money will take home the pool. Basically if you enter the challenge and win a dollar after the 50,000 poker hands, then you will get Tom’s $1.5 Million, but if he succeeds by $1 then he will take home your $500,000.

Thus far, a number of professional poker players have accepted to play the “durrrr challenge”, including WSOP Champ Phil Ivey and David Benyamine, however, only Patrick Antonius has said yes to the Full Tilt Poker Challenge. Until now, both poker pros have taken part in a total of 20,647 hands out of 50,000, with Tom leading the count $726,546 total.

A vital aspect in the game of poker is conning your opponents by making them think you actually have a good hand, when the truth is it is possible your poker hand is horrible. You may have heard this referred to as “Poker face”, an expressionless face for tricking your competition into believing an idea that might be false.

Having a good poker hand is most likely going to make you more nervous, could possibly cause your hands to shake, and your heartbeat race. These are signs that your poker competition may see very quickly, especially if they are old friends. Be careful not to glimpse at the pot if you have a good poker hand. This is a tell-tale sign to your poker buddies that you are, in your head, adding up what you might win.

In the condition where you have a dreadful poker hand, try not to keep yourself from glancing at your poker buddies, keep your eyes up, and don’t be indecisive about your bet. When you can prove to yourself that your poker hand is just as good, or better than your poker buddies; you will possibly convince them of this as well. Keep in mind to make this seem as natural as possible. Your gestures and motions may be saying one point, while what you are saying are giving them a whole different idea.

Another key to Texas Hold Em is to be attentive to your opponent’s “poker tells”. A “tell” is any kind of expression, physical gesture, or habit that could might tell you something about their poker hand. One basic rule to keep in mind is when your poker buddy is acting as though he has a strong hand; he, in all probability, has a weak Texas Hold Em hand. On the other hand, if he behaves as though he has a weak hand, he in all probability has an excellent Texas Hold Em hand.
