Annette wins again

A look at Annette's recent online win, how NOT to turn down a player's sponsorship attempts and asks "Are you a donkey?"

Here the place where we hope to bring you a collection of interesting, thoughtful and downright strange exit points out into the world wide web.

* Annette took down a $100,000 tournament at the weekend beating 20,000 players in the proccess. The Texas Hold 'Em King, although respecting her win, doesn't believe she could do it again.....in a month of Sundays. (Poker King)

* The Editor believes this might not be the way to play poker from the World Women's Open. Nice video selection and it's not even April! (Betfair Poker - via Youtube)

* Winning poker player Adam Junglen, who was one-time chip leader at a WSOP Europe venue last year, has been doing what all winning poker players should do - buying a big telly. (Adam Junglen)

* Annette discussed late tournament pushing when she looked at how to play pocket pairs when short-stacked. Meanwhile over at allpokeraddicts, Blake and his mate Durden have been discussing similar short-stacked situations. (Allpokeraddicts)

* An old post but it made me laugh. Kajagugu is not happy with the treatment 2007 Aussie Millions runner-up Jimmy Fricke received from an online poker room. He has got a point. (Kajagugupoker)

* There comes a time when every poker player must try his or her hand at the live game. Not know where to play? Then check out this online calendar for a game near you. (iPokerCal)

* Are you a donkey? You might be if you answer too many of Gobbs' questions in the affirmative including the gem - "If people at the table are talking about PLO and you start talking about Palestine and terrorism ... you might be a donkey." (Gobbs)
