English Community Round-up
Monkey business from the guys that like to move it move it, Spiderwebz catches some great tournament success, Kimber88 celebrates with a few pictures of some friends and a tip from a coach. It's just got to be English Community Round-up time again.
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.
Poker Blog of the Week
As always there are some superb blogs out there again, but I think there can only be one candidate to hightlight this week. Ladies, Gents, Primates, I give you....
These cheeky monkeys, aka twicet & thelastnail certainly like to move it move it and fresh on the heels of the classic Berlin Mansion grind, they return to blog about their poker, their parties and their real life stuff such as university life.
You'd be bananas to miss it, check out the monkey business in their blog today.

Hot Thread of the week
Hot threads in the traditional sense of most visited/most replied this week are the September Graphs and Naming a table on Full Tilt posted by community members snodreliss & fun101rockets respectively.
Posting your monthly graphs is always helpful to not only your own game but also gives encouragement to other members too.
Meanwhile fun101rockets has decided to spend some of his player points to have a cash table on Full Tilt named after himself and has been seeking help from fellow members in what to call it.
Some classic suggestions so far have been "Bad beats inside", "Phil Ivey plays here" and "Play Money Table #46", although I must admit I personally like the "Chips with ketchup", but then I am hungry at the moment 🙂
Suggestions are I believe still being taken, so get yours in today.
And now for a hot thread in a totally different way. Community member is celebrating his 1,000th forum post by sharing some of his favourite pictures. The more alert of you may soon recognise a common theme fairly quickly in 's thread 😉
Female community members, apologies, probably not one for you, male community members... enjoy :o)
And finally...
Our coaching team are a really helpful bunch and when they're not teaching us poker, they are helping to teach us other important stuff like the following post from coach grummeler:
As always, this is your Community 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 go on, drop me some suggestions and/or
your thoughts on what you would like to appear in this Round-up news
item in the feedback thread.
