Poker Blog of the Week
Our blogger of the week,
mbml hails from sunny Singapore. He used to
devote most of his time playing Warcraft 3, but that was before he
found poker. Like many PokerStrategy.com players, he started off
playing SSS, but has since made the transition to BSS. He now plays on
the NL200/400 FR tables on PokerStars.
Just earlier this week, managed to cross the $20,000 milestone for his bankroll. If you visit the English Community rankings page, you will see that mbml
is one of the top ranked members there. He has made it his mission for
the month to overtake twicet, let's see if he
manages to make it!

Hot Poker Thread of the Week
This week's hottest thread, is none other than our Weekly Vote thread, which deals with the question, "When do you cash out?". It is one of the most popular weekly votes in recent memory, and if you have not voted yet, what are you waiting for?
There are various reasons why poker players cash out their bankroll. Some might need to use the money to pay off some bill, while others cash out to lock in their profits. Whatever your reasons are, you are more than welcome to join in the discussion in our thread of the week.
