If ever there was a time to give up watching football and just stick to playing poker this is it. My poker has been going in an exact opposite direction to that of the England football team - whilst they look laboured and disinterested my poker has been bright and inventive. I’ve lost some big pots on the way when trying to be a little over fancy but it’s certainly been more interesting than watching the football.
England look wound up and with so much pressure on them going into the final group game on Wednesday they’re going to need a spark to break them out of their current trough. That spark is unlikely to come from any of the players we have seen moping about the pitch so far unless Wayne Rooney realises that eating baked beans in a caravan is exactly where he is headed if he doesn’t sort his head out.
Joe Cole can be the player to inject some life into this England team. He has an effervescent character that rubs off on other people and you can guarantee he will play with a smile on his face. He also has the ability to unlock a defence in a split second and can provide something genuinely different to a side struggling for confidence, rhythm and most importantly goals.
I watched the Algeria game whilst playing online poker as I was in a tournament that seemed to drag on and on. I was also running some cash games alongside to help my rakeback as it is nearing the end of the month and I like to see a nice big rake back payment from my rake back poker provider www.rakeback.co.uk.
My payment has increased every month from www.rakeback.co.uk since I joined up with them and I’m really looking forward to the English Poker Open freerolls they are running over the summer. Would be great to play in this event so I will be grinding a lot over the next few weeks.

Catch hold of some great free rolls and rake race for the English poker open
The World Series of rakeback poker may attract the very best poker players in the world but in rooms and fields so large you rarely see more than one or two stars on the same table but in the $10k Pot Limit Hold’em event that started on June 20th the stars were glinting like the Milky Way.
There was one table in particular that caught the attention of many on the rail: Amnon Filippi, Kevin Saul, Juston Bonomo, Vitaly Lunkin, Christian Harder and David Benefield were joined later by Joe Hachem. A table of this kind would normally be reserved for a sponsor’s televised game but not so in the rarefied atmosphere of the Amazon room. These poker superstars were all duelling it out on Day 1 at the Rio with the likes of Daniel Negreanu, Tom Dwan – ever so briefly – and Mike Matusow, Phil Hellmuth and more names than I can list.
With the high buy in and the mathematical nature of Pot limit offering little encouragement to amateurs out there the field at the start of Day 1 was about as tough as you will ever find. There was very little dead money and you would be struggling to find an easy table to play on. For those amateurs that did play it must have been an unbelievable experience to watch and learn these poker gladiators.
I’ve been watching from a far hoping that if I can keep my game tight and keep earning well then maybe next year I will be there playing. My rakeback provider www.pokerrakeback.com are giving me nice payments at the moment and have some great freerolls and rake races for the English Poker Open which is on just before the WSOP Europe. If I can keep my online poker going well then maybe I might take a vacation over there and see what I can do.
For those that are looking for a rake back deal I can’t recommend www.pokerrakeback.com enough as they pay promptly have great customer service and really good promotions.
