PokerStrategy Community Round-up
Welcome to the news round-up for the English Community (#5). Each week, EagleStar88 will keep you in touch with some of the most important threads within the forum together with some of the fun posts, so that you never need to miss them.
Our Community Round-up is your weekly source for all that happens inside the PokerStrategy forums. If you missed something last week and you still want to be in touch with our community, here are some of the most important posts. This is just one of many community-related projects being set up.
Whilst nowhere near as in-depth or detailed or as wide ranging in terms of topics as those you receive from PokerStrategy, it might still be a useful tool to browse through now and again. Details via Full Tilt.
Lots of promotions available to PokerStrategy members on their linked poker accounts from time to time, keep an eye on the news to see what is available.
This weeks blog of the week is a blog that I have always found fascinating, but this week in particular it was worth mentioning due to timor83's coverage of his EPT trip to Copenhagen! Yeah baby, whilst well over the bankrolls and wildest dreams of perhaps most of us, timor83 gives us a nice view of his time both on and off of the table and well maybe some of the time drinking people under the table too.
Where else can you read about the exploits of Boris Becker, Annette Obrestad & Californian Joe in one place? A nice read & we wish you luck with your next EPT quest.
Community member speedfanat1c picked up a nice pot the other day with this hand. Whilst not holding the absolute nuts, it's amazing what types of hand some non-PokerStrategy opponents will play with sometimes.

Firstly "Sorry for brag" from amirapuato for picking up Quad 9's in his PartyPoker million dollar hand, we like this type of win, so brag away!
Secondly inspired by this, thinks he is next with "I have Q 2 so far.. going for runner runner-runner quads as well". Hmm wishing you luck with those 2's Soy, although after last weeks BotD Push/Fold run, who knows, anything's possible lol.
bennos12, like a lot of us, has been playing poker for a number of years, but just recently stumbled upon PokerStrategy.com and hopes to use the strategy articles and other material to improve his game.
Welcome bennos12 and we all wish you the very best with your poker and every success.

Firstly, primzi has set up a word assocation game for us to try our hand at. Click on this link to find the thread in the Fun & Off-Topic section of the forum.
Secondly, that nice man Mr amirapuato is offering fellow community members the chance of a BotD staking, alongside those already offered by & , for trying to beat his score in a fun game called 'Shopping Cart Hero'.
I had a go, wasn't any good, but laughed my socks off. Thanks amirapuato!
Just to emphasise, this is your Community Round-up page and whilst I try to browse most forum threads looking for points of interest, it's of course not possible to cover everything. So if you see something that you think fellow community members would be interested in, drop me a link to it or add your suggestions/thoughts in this feedback thread.
You think it or see it, I write it, together we share it!
