Poker Academy in Hollywood, California: AbsolutePoker & Hooters Team Up
Online poker players at Absolute Poker invited to a night of poker, beer and free wings
For most poker fans, nothing goes better with poker than beer, wings and beautiful women in tight clothing cheering everyone on. So this month, AbsolutePoker.net is mixing them all together to create a poker experience unlike no other.
Together with Hooters, the online poker site is presenting the AbsolutePoker.net Poker Academy in Hollywood, California in late February.
Matt Vengrin will host the free poker event, scheduled for February 25, 2010 from 7-9pm. The acclaimed professional poker player will offer free poker tips to those in attendance while they enjoy free wings and beer.
Poker fans will have the opportunity to compete at on-site tables or play against a world of online poker players at one of several on-site AbsolutePoker.net gaming terminals.
I’m all about trying new stuff to increase the appeal of poker. This is one of the first of many new things I will be doing to help bridge the gap between the poker world and the world outside of poker.
Poker professional Matt Vengrin
Matt Vengrin is one of online poker’s most successful young poker players. In a little over two years, the 24-year-old has won nearly $2 million playing at the online poker tables and in land-based events around the world.

Online Casino Gaming Options
Poker Diversion
Though I’m an avid online poker player, I’ve recently made a nice discovery in the online gambling world. Actually a few new discoveries. This might be old news to you die-hard internet gamblers, but it is a new and fun discovery for me.
First off, when I’m going to bet on sporting events, I usually go to a sports book such as Sportsbook.com or Superbook.com (which, incidentally, are both operated by the same company).
Casino Games Galore
What I didn’t realize is that Sportsbook.com (and Superbook, too) offer all sorts of online casino gaming options. As I poked around the site, I ended up playing Roulette, Craps and Blackjack for hours. Time just slipped away. If you’re ever in the mood to take a break from your favorite poker games, you might want to wager on video poker… or Roulette, Craps and all the popular casino games.
One Account Unlocks All the Games
Play for real money or play for practice and wager nothing. It’s all accessible with one account. Many online gaming operators require you to open separate accounts to play their different gaming options. Not at Sportsbook.com. One account accesses ALL of them. And there are many to choose from (see below). And Sportsbook is one of the longest lasting and most respected names in the online gambling world. Your money and bets are safe at Sportsbook.com.
If you’re not sure that you want top open an account, you can still give the site a good going-over. All their games are accessible whether you’re a member or not.
Here’s what you do:
- Go to the main page.
- Look for the easy to find links to all their gaming options.
- Click the one you want, let’s say it’s Craps.
- A new window will open.
- You can open an account from this page, or:
- Look for the link under the Sign-up box (It says “Click here to play for fun”)
- That’s it! The game loads, and you’re off!
