In a crazy story that was first relayed to me by my boyfriend (who actually ran the original piece over at PokerNewsGuru.com), it looks as if one of my FAVORITE women poker players is suing her former employer for a huge breach of contract dispute!  How big you might ask ladies?  Well, $40 million bucks kind of big, lol.

The person at the center of the legal drama is none other than Clonie Gowen, a now-former (she was released on November 11th, 2008) Team Full Tilt Poker member who is suing the Online Poker superpower for apparently not paying her the amount promised to her during a 2004 phone conversation with the execs that run the poker site.  During this conversation, she was guaranteed a 1% ownership stake in the company, but only through what she believes was an orally binding agreement.  Mind you, this poor girl didn’t even get that big of a deal put in writing!

At first glance, PokerCodeReview really caught my attention because of the cool blue graphical background; not just because this shade of blue is my favorite color, but it’s also really easy on the eyes. What can I say, I like pretty things!

PokerBonusRoll.com

It seems I’m on a roll lately with what some might call my obsession in finding new online poker bonus sites that appeal to me. Anyways, I just rolled on over to PokerBonusRoll.com. Detailed reviews and sweet bonuses are given for several of the top online poker rooms that cater to specific markets like the US and the UK, along with niche-specific rooms like 3D poker sites, small poker sites and the best beginner sites.

Right now, PokerBonusRoll offers a terrific bonus for Titan Poker where new players will receive a 100% up to $500 plus a $25 upfront bonus.  The example which is given on their site is “Deposit $500 plus their bonus code and you will receive $1,025.” Their review of Titan Poker.com has pretty much everything a new player would want to know about the poker room and online poker bonuses.  This includes information on player traffic as well as the skill levels of the players at the room.

Take A Look At PokerBonusSource.Com.

New poker sites are starting up every day, especially ones that focus on online poker bonuses.  So it is refreshing to me when a newer bonus site brings players more than just a couple of bonuses.

PokerBonusSource.com is one of those sites that doesn’t just throw together a few bonuses attached maybe to short poker room reviews.  In fact, this resource site provides players with their top online poker rooms picks each with a complete review and a poker bonus. I like that eight of those featured rooms welcome players from the United States.

Two US friendly sites in particular that Read more…
