PTP News Hit and Run: November 30th

New Poker2Nite, Neverwin loses and Krantz has words for Tom Schneider. It’s our daily summary of all things interesting in the pokerverse for Monday November 30th, 2009.

In a move that we probably should have guessed at when Micon was soliciting developers over Twitter last week, PokerNews apparently pulled the plug yesterday on the long-running poker forum Neverwin. Pokerati’s got a bit more on the story behind the sudden demise here.

Wicked Chops, once a big fan of Jeff Madsen, seems to feel he’s jumped the shark and is asking if he won’t please stop, especially with the rapping (Prahlad is better, really, and poker only needs one rapper – max).

In a bit of slightly more out-there trash talking, Krantz takes Tom Schneider to task in this blog post for – wait for it – Schneider’s harmless hypothetical in a recent PND article that “one of the best poker players in the world might be playing in a $1/$2 game right now.”

Tournament news: The Five Diamond World Poker Classic is underway at the Bellagio. Schedule here. The Sydney edition of the APPT series is about to get underway. Schedule here. Johnny Lodden made a deep run in the Sunday Million but eventually finished 5th for 72k. Full results here

Episode 2 of the Ultimate Bet sponsored show Poker2Nite provides a reasonable bit of competition for Inside Deal on ESPN. The banter is fairly loose, the production values are a little thin and the content is … well, instantly out of date. We write this every day and we’re still out of date, so we sympathize. First part of Ep2 embedded below:

Rakeback and Free Bankrolls

PTP offers several rakeback and free bankroll offers for our viewers. If you're not familiar with rakeback, read our guide to online poker rakeback. To learn how much you could be earning with rakeback, check out our rakeback calculator. If you're ready to get started, our most popular rakeback offers are Full Tilt Rake Back, Cake Poker Rake Back and Carbon Poker RakeBack.

Free and no deposit bankrolls (also called free poker money) are essentially promotional deals we've arranged with rooms where they give you a small amount of money (usually $10-$150) to try out their room. These offers are a great way to get your feet wet at a room without going through the hassle of depositing, and provide players nervous about depositing at an online gambling site with a risk-free way to play poker, bingo, and other games online.
