Stake Me to Play will celebrate its launch at Aspers Casino Stratford in London, holding a VIP party and freeroll, where one player will win a free seat at EPT London worth £5,000.

Newly Sponsored Badbeat.com Player, Stavros Ioannou, Starts with Winning Streak

22 February 2012 (London, UK) – Stavros "LOTSandLOTS" Ioannou, one of the latest up and coming poker players to be sponsored and mentored by Badbeat.com, has begun with a winning streak that started with two MTTs then, the following week, 2nd in the €5k guaranteed €50 Turbo on Poker Time and 3rd in the $10k Guaranteed $5 Rebuy on Poker Encore for $2.1k. Now bankrolled and tutored by Badbeat.com, prospects look good for the young poker player.

“My first day with Badbeat.com was a good one -- I played 6 MTTs in total and final tabled 3/6 winning two of them,” said Ioannou. “My personal goal for this year is to win $100k for my stake. And hopefully go to Vegas and do well in some bracelets events. Badbeat.com has given me a stable stake (home) for me to play stress free of results. Any profit I make can go to pay for things in life and I still have my bankroll via Badbeat every day.”

Ioannou, proud father of a seven year old son, has only just begun to feel the benefits of Badbeat.com sponsorship and mentoring.

“We see a lot of potential in Stav,” said Badbeat.com founder John Conroy. “We think he’s really going to benefit from the kind of mentorship and training we can give him.”

“Badbeat.com is providing me a steady bankroll and monitoring my progress and helping me move forward/up in stakes,” said Ioannou when asked how his Badbeat.com sponsorship is improving his prospects. “I’m building a good relationship with my mentor and having that support from him is a massive comfort for me.”

Badbeat.com, the original and leading poker staking and poker training site, has been sponsoring and mentoring promising players like Ioannou since 2005. This summer it made its revolutionary new MyGame poker training system, modeled on that experience, available free to anyone that wants to learn, win and transform the way they play. It builds players’ poker skills from the ground up by analysing actual play. Access to tutorials, the unique hands analysis tool, Report Cards, and Social gaming features are all free after registering a new account with any of Badbeat’s partner poker sites. A new iPhone app now enables MyGame poker trainees to compare Report Cards with others enrolled in the program and even get advice and access training videos from their phone.

Badbeat.com Sponsored Player, Paul Gunn, Takes Second in €100K GTD

30 September 2011 (London, UK) -- Paul Gunn, a Badbeat.com sponsored player, took second place and pocketed €16.6K in the €100K GTD at Royal Vegas Poker on Sunday night. Gunn attributes his improved performance to the poker training he’s received from Badbeat.com over the last two months. Fortunately for other players wanting to step up their game, materials developed through Badbeat.com’s mentoring program are now available free online.

Gunn described Sunday’s tournament, and how the confidence he’s gained from Badbeat.com coaching has changed his game: “For the final hand the blinds are 50/100k and we’re pretty much level - I raised 200k - he pushes - I call instantly holding JJ - he turns over the 10c 8c, so I couldn’t be more pleased…until the flop comes Ac 2c Ad, Turn 7h and River 9c! I was gutted but at the same time chuffed with the result and knowing that I played the hand right.”

“I’ve learned to be pretty aggressive on the bubbles as people tighten up trying to cash more and floating in a lot of pots then bluffing. It worked a treat. Since I’ve been back with Badbeat.com these last two months I can’t give my mentor Jon Huckle any higher praise. He’s given me the confidence to believe in my game.”

“This is a great example of what a good player can do with the correct tournament selection,” said Paul’s Badbeat.com mentor Jon Huckle. “With some coaching he’s learned to control his daily spend on MTT’s and use his profit to buy into the larger weekly events rather than killing his bankroll. He’s managed to cash consistently and build his profit. It was only a matter of time until he hit big!”

“Paul has responded very well to our training and mentoring,” said Badbeat.com founder John Conroy. “We’re so pleased with his development so far that we’re rewarding him with a seat at the £300 Deepstack live event at DTD Nottingham next weekend!”

Badbeat.com, the original and leading poker staking site, has been sponsoring and mentoring promising players like Gunn since 2005.

Free Online Poker Training System Launches MyGame iPhone App

The new iPhone App that Badbeat.com has just launched for its MyGame free online poker training system enables poker trainees to share and compare their Report Cards with other players. They can also check and share score cards on popular social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook, get advice on play, and watch videos on how to become a better player -- all from their device wherever they may be and whoever they may be with.

The MyGame system is designed for any player that wants to learn, win and transform the way they play poker - all for free. It builds players’ poker skills from the ground up by analysing actual play. Access to Badbeat’s tutorials, the unique hands analysis tool, Report Cards, and Social gaming features are all free after registering a new account with any of Badbeat’s partner poker sites.

Like the browser-based elements of the program, the MyGame app is specifically tailored to the individual’s own play. Main areas of their game are summarised in a simple report card but they can drill-down into detailed explanations and suggestions on how to improve.

“Your report card might suggest your grades are slipping in a specific area of play so clicking that option within the app takes you to more specific information, statistics, comments and suggestions on how to improve,” explains Badbeat Managing Director, John Conroy. “If you drill down further you can even watch videos on how to improve in these areas either by streaming them or downloading them for later viewing”.

“You can even share your report card right from your device using email or popular social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook. Players are already using it to brag to their friends while out-and-about.”

James Houghton, Badbeat.com Chief Technology Officer, explains that the company is constantly investing in technology and innovating in areas to help players improve at poker. "We have many exciting products either currently in development or on our technology road map for both existing and new platforms with the sole aim of helping players improve".

Badbeat.com, the original and leading poker staking site, has been sponsoring and mentoring promising players since 2005. This summer it made its revolutionary new MyGame poker training system, modeled on that experience, available free to anyone that’s ready to step up their game.

Badbeat.com Sponsored Player, Anthony Goldfinch, Takes Down 10K GTD

Badbeat.com sponsored player Anthony 'NotFolding' Goldfinch won the 10K GTD Rebuy on Royal Vegas last Sunday night, beating 185 other runners for a well deserved 3000 Euros. Continuing this week’s winning streak, he also won the 3K GTD on Poker Encore on Tuesday night. As a sponsored player, Goldfinch has received extensive training from Badbeat’s mentors and his game shows significant improvement after just three months under their guidance.

“Before I joined Badbeat I was spewing buy ins away like it was Monopoly money and didn't seem to be on the right side of any run good,” said Goldfinch. “After breaking my loss limit, looking at my hands and realising how bad I was playing, I was told to take a break for a while until some of the coaches could re-evaluate where I was at.”

“The next month I still had the odd spew monkey moment but I made a slight profit under the guidance of my mentor and started to get a real feel for the games. I reviewed some hands with my mentor who spotted some easy mistakes and helped me rectify them. I was down around 10k until he influenced and channelled my game and now I’m feeling confident enough to set myself a target of 10k - 15k profit for this month.”

Goldfinch’s Badbeat.com mentor, Peter Hedlund, recognised Anthony’s potential from the start.

"When I started mentoring Anthony it was pretty obvious to me that he was a solid, winning player - but with pretty noticeable leaks and some poor results that didn't reflect his skill level,” said Hedlund. “During our mentoring sessions we've had very interesting theoretical discussions. That's one of the things that Badbeat can really provide - a deep, analytical environment for poker players that wish to be just a little bit better than the rest."

Developing a "Poker Mind" More Important than Memorizing Plays from a Book, Says BadBeat.com Director

Speaking to poker enthusiasts at Poker in the Park in London over the weekend, John Conroy, Managing Director at Badbeat.com, cautioned players against simply memorizing plays and encouraged them to instead develop a "poker mind".

Badbeat.com (http://www.badbeat.com), the original and leading poker staking site, has been sponsoring and mentoring promising players since 2005. This summer it made its revolutionary new MyGame poker training system, modeled on that experience, available free to anyone that’s ready to step up their game.

“A lot of training out there is rubbish,” said Conroy. “Poker isn’t black and white. How you play your hand depends as much on whom else is at the table and how they’re playing as on the cards you’re dealt. The MyGame poker training system that we’ve built with our team of mentors is designed to change the way the player thinks. It’s all about building a poker mind.”

More players have more experience playing and it takes much more than learning plays from a book to be winner.

“Poker is about observation and deception. Observing your opponents behaviour , betting patterns , type of player, what they think of you etc. Deception is achieved by balancing the way you play hands and not always playing particular hands the same way.”

The MyGame system is designed for any player that wants to learn, win and transform the way they play poker - all for free. It builds players’ poker skills from the ground up by analysing actual play. Access to Badbeat’s tutorials, the unique hands analysis tool, Report Cards, and Social gaming features are all free after registering with any of Badbeat’s partner poker sites.

The detailed hand analysis tools help them build skills -- it watches them play and shows them where they might have done better.”

The new system is designed for any player that wants to learn, win and transform the way they play poker - all for free. It builds player’s poker skills from the ground up by analysing actual play, spotting weaknesses and showing how to fix them.
