B4Playing Announces Advanced Communication with Online Casino & Poker Players

The soon to be released B4Playing client introduces the first direct communication tool between properties and players. Special bonuses, poker tournaments and events can now be sent directly to the players' desktop without using the email system where the recipient attention is distracted by 100s of promotional messages.

"One of the benefits to B4Playing community and to the properties who are participating in the program is the ability to send real time messages," indicates Mr. Itay Paz, B4Playing VP marketing. "Emails become a less efficient tool as there are so many who are competing to get the recipient attention. Our system provides a perfect vehicle to promote new offers of online poker casinos and poker rooms and to drive increased traffic instantly."

"Our real time client-server system with our extensive data base, being automatically fed by the operators is a perfect tool to be used by the operators. Our extensive messaging and alert system can be used to impact traffic instantly," says Mr. Jonathan Gillad, B4Playing General Manager. Play $500 match poker bonus.

"We are looking forward to test the product and participate at B4Playing program."

B4Playing aims at starting a beta program to 1,000 users by Aug 15th and its official general availability is scheduled for September 3rd. Download poker wallpapers.

Poker's Own Tour de France

The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is the biggest event of the year for poker players and fans all around the world. It can be compared to the greatest events in any sports field. An analogy with the bicycle world's Tour de France is apt. in fact, this comparison has brought about a new twist, somewhat amusing at that, but nevertheless serious and demanding attention.

The Tour de France, in the not-so-distant past the most famed and widely popular cycling event in the world, is now muddied with a score of doping accusations, suspicions and allegations. With the pursuit of the supremacy, or at the very least an advantage over the competition, the temptation to use performance enhancing drugs arises. This is especially true in an age of modern medicine as our own. Download poker wallpapers.

In poker too, such performance enhancers abound. The former programmer and current poker professional player Paul Phillips has come out recently with this testimony over the web, published at Slate.com. Phillips said he was diagnosed with ADHD, a neurological development disorder, an attention deficit or hyperactivity disorder. Medication he received for treating his condition helped him, according to his testimony, win large amounts in later poker competitions he participated in. Play $500 match poker bonus.

Adderall helps the poker player & women poker players take in information, become an "information sponge" in his words. It helps improve patience and avoid boredom, key elements for the professional poker player. Other medication, which Phillips has since used, includes Modafinil, which stimulates his wakefulness and enhances his focus during games. Of course the drugs have downsides to them, including loss of appetite and insomnia. Play route 66 poker.

How are these drugs different from caffeine, by and large the most popular "drug" among tournament poker players? This isn't clear and seems to be accepted in the game. Whether the poker world will one day administer drug tests for players, only time will tell.
