My more regular readers will have noticed the distinct lack of new posts on my site lately. This is in large part due to me putting in some decent volume at the NL 50 6 max tables on Pokerstars. Last month I didn’t just make a steady profit, I beat the living hell out of the tables! From meticulous table selection and exploiting nitty regs I was able to chalk up a 6.61 BB/100 win rate. Not bad at all, especially when you factor in I also earned a truck load of FPPs. If August is a good month too, I’ll move up on with the big boys at NL100 and start making some serious cheddar!

Anyway, stay tuned for some more news and videos from the Pokerstars battleground over the coming weeks.

For those that do not know, Pokerstars has been running an amazing promotion this month for UK players. If you aren’t already playing on Pokerstars, get on over there and you can join me as one of the elite players that can call themselves Supernova!

If you would like to keep up with I don’t Need a Job’s updates, then feel welcome to follow me on Twitter under the name “idontneedajob”.

1) Software

The software on Celeb Poker is first rate. The windows are full resizeable, and if you have good eyesight you could play countless number of tables on a a decent monitor with no overlap. The timebank feature is particularly useful: you don’t have to wait for your regular time to expire before using it; ideal for when you are multitabling. Although the software does not have the same number of frills as Pokerstars or Full Tilt, it is still well above industry average.

2) Traffic and game selection

The Boss Media network which Celeb Poker is part of, boasts moderate traffic. During peak times traffic can approach the 15 000 mark. It is a rapidly growing network however, and numbers are set to rise. Although you can play 5 card draw, variations of Stud and Omaha, the vast majority of traffic is based around holdem.

3) Sign-up bonus

If you sign-up through I don’t Need a Job’s unique link, you can receive a whopping 200% up to 500 Euro bonus. The bonus is also released in 10 Euro increments so you need not worry if you are unable to clear it in its entirety. You also get a generous 2 months to earn your bonus.

4) Level of competition

Some of the players on Celeb Poker are truely horrific. My latest episodes of Donkey of the Week have featured a whale from Celeb Poker. Although you get nits like all other poker sites, there is a definitely a huge pool of donkeys to keep your wallet fat.

5) Customer service

Customer service is first class at Celeb Poker. There is a live support option, a web-based help desk and you can also email support. Replies to queries are prompt and helpful.

6) Deposit and withdrawal options

Deposit and withdrawal options include pretty much every method you can think (credit card, Money Bookers, bank transfer etc) of and withdrawal times are speedy.

In summary, Celeb Poker is one of the best sites you can put your money into if you live outside the US. The deposit bonus is extremely generous and the great multitabling software makes fish farming a breeze.

Nut full house good? Of course not! That fellow there has a Royal Flush!

I get my money in with top set against middle set. Surely I can’t lose this one??? Of course I can, when the fish is guaranteed to hit a running straight.

I think I will give the Omaha a break for today. It’s like trying to get blood out of a stone getting money out of the nit regulars, and the donkeys are experiencing a 100% hit rate in hitting their miracle suckout draws.

Ah, our good old friend variance!

Full details can be found here Pokerstars UK May Special Offer , but the basic gist is that if you reside in the UK and as long as you accumulate a small number of VPPs in May by playing poker on their industry software, Pokerstars will give you up to 80, 000 VPPS at the start of June.

For those in the know, you need 100, 000 VPPs to become a prestigous Supernova member. Thus, an 80, 000 VPP handout virtually guarantees you will become a Supernova this year, even if you rarely play. As a Supernova player, you get many perks, including a 3.5 X FPP multiplier and exclusive freerolls. But the coolest of them all is that you can order a customised dress shirt from the Pokerstars VIP shop, complete with your name on it!

Simply put, you know you have reached the top of the online poker food chain when you become a Supernova player. So what are you waiting for?! Get your ass over to Pokerstars and get those VPPS!

In the following hand on High Stakes Poker, Durr gets into a preflop raising war with a player that has a polar opposite game; Howard Lederer is from the “old school” and plays a very nitty weak-tight game. He really is a bore to watch, however, I took great delight in seeing him get pwned and embrassed by Durr!

Fast forward to 4:10 to see the hand that Durred “The Professor”!
