If you are looking to increase your rakeback earnings then there are many things that you’re able to do. Some of them are obvious while some of them aren’t so obvious. Rakeback alone can create a nice supplemental income for you if you play enough online poker. With rakeback all you need to do is be able to breakeven as a player in order to guarantee yourself profit each and every month. We’re going to highlight some tips that will help you increase your hourly rakeback and your monthly rakeback payment. Remember that you need to be at least break even to make money from your rakeback so don’t do anything to increase your rakeback that will affect how you play.

* The easiest way to ensure you’re getting the most rakeback value is to find out how your rakeback deal is matching up to other deals. For instance, if you’re receiving 20% rakeback at the moment with your poker room and another poker room is offering 30% then you should obviously be playing with the poker room with the higher rakeback percentage. A lot of rakeback players settle for the deal they have because they don’t want to find a new deal or they’re too lazy to switch poker rooms. 10% can really make a difference so you don’t want to leave that amount of money on the table.

* One way to increase your hourly rakeback is to play more games per hour. Either by multi-tabling or playing at the Rush Poker tables at Full Tilt. A lot of people don’t like to multi-table because they feel it would take away from their game. This isn’t true for most players though. If you think about it, most poker games you end up sitting there 70-80% of the time doing nothing. When you’re not playing hands on one table you should have other tables open. Since most poker rooms calculate rake by the dealt method you’ll earn rake on every hand you’re dealt. If you’re sitting at four tables rather then one you’ll obviously be dealt a lot more hands per hour. As for Rush Poker at Full Tilt, you are instantly moved to another table as soon as you fold your cards and instantly dealt a new hand. This method is a revolutionary new poker format. The ultimate high-speed game, Rush Poker is designed to minimize your wait time between hands and keep you in the action.

* Another way to increase your poker rakeback is by playing at a higher stake, but this isn’t something you want to do automatically. The only time you should move up limits is when you’re actually ready to move up limits. In order to be ready to move up limits you should have data showing consistent profits at your current level. You’ll also need to make sure that your bankroll can allow you to move up limits.

* Many rakeback providers will give their players the chance to compete in monthly promotions and rake races. A rake race is where rakeback players try and earn the most amount of rakeback in a given period of time. The winners of the rake race will earn whatever prizes or money has been designated for the race. You will also be able to play in lots of special tournaments though, including freeroll tournaments and many other types.We Highly suggest you check out all the promotions and rakeback deals on offer at hoodwinkpoker and ensure your getting the best deal possible.

Oh My Gosh!!!

I gotta tell ya about why I titled this post Oh My Gosh!!

If you watch the video below all will be revealed, it's a video of Tom Dwan and Phil Ivey going at it and setting a new tv cash game record in the Full Tilt Million Dollar cash game.

The action saw Dwan, on the button and holding 7h 6h, create a sizable preflop pot of nearly $50,000 against Ivey who was in the small blind holding Ac 2d. The flop came Jc 3d 5c , giving both Dwan and Ivey gutshot straight draws. Ivey then led out for $35,000 with the wheel and backdoor nut flush draw. Dwan took his time before making the call with his straight draw.

This is where things got interesting, as the 4h fell on the turn. Ivey quickly bumped the pot by $90,000 and Dwan took his time before raising up the action to $232,600. The emotionless Ivey then moved all-in, pushing the pot well past seven figures only to see Dwan insta-call with the nut straight. When the money went in, Ivey was drawing completely dead. The river completed the board with the Jh , leaving Ivey with nothing to do but sit and stew about the way the hand played out.

I didnt count how many times the commentator said "Oh My Gosh" but it did make me laugh!
