That’s right, we have recently awarded our first medal for our guerrilla advertising category.

It took a while but here it is:

Hello to Switch Poker from Egypt

While on holiday Switch Poker player Karifans sent us an email asking if they could make an image for the medal. We mailed them a sample and they replied with this scorcher straight from ancient Egypt. (Ok so it’s from modern Egypt, but indulge the fantasy).

So we thank Karifans and I hope that you get a chance to play Switch Poker with a local Mummy.

If there are any more budding guerrillas out there then we would love to see some of your works. Remember, anything goes! If it’s cool enough we will grant you a coveted silver medal and post it in our blog and facebook pages.

We added the bankroll booster a few months ago and it has proven immensely popular. Due to demand we have even upped the limits.

All players can join the fun and take a spin to try and boost their bankroll, who knows you might even get lucky and earn an extra grand or two for yourself!

New Medal Available

We have released a new Medal “Guerrilla Advertising”. Learn how to win it at http://blog.switchpoker.com/guerrilla-advertising

We have had requests to increase the bet amounts on the game so that players can win even more. Now players can win up to €500 in a single go. In fact, you can win €499.50 by betting as little as €5.55. If you have luck on your side then this would be quite a nice payday!

The Bankroll Booster is now also available on the iPhone. So enjoy it wherever you are.

Next in our ongoing series of player written strategy blog posts is Switch Poker regular Nigh:

Darius “Nigh” Wajda recently finished university and works as an engineer for one of the major airlines in his city. After work, a good chunk of his time is spent playing poker and other games. With ambitions to one day play poker professionally, he can be found playing at Switch Poker on most evenings and weekends.

He has written an interesting article regarding pre-flop decisions.

There’s an old saying in poker about beating different types of players. When everyone’s playing tight, you should play loose. When everyone’s playing loose, you should play tight. When everyone’s folding you should raise. When everyone’s raising you should be patient and wait for your big hands. Easy, right? In both scenarios it’s a pretty good general strategy for most games… but then we have heads-up poker….Read More

Isaac Jourden (Avata) is a 31 year old English teacher turned full time poker player and coach.  He enjoys writing, cooking, playing games of all kinds, and any and all things related to Doctor Who.

The subject of his first article is Pot control, he has some great information to share.

One way to make sure we’re winning at the table is with superior pot control.   Essentially, we want to make sure the pots we win are large, and the pots we lose are small.  Sometimes in a hand, our goal is clear.  If we have a monster, get the money in!  If our hand is very unlikely to win, we decide to bluff or give up on the hand…Read More
