Four Stops For Poker Academy

15 April 2009

Leading poker magazine Bluff Europe has announced that its new Poker Academy lecture series will get underway on April 26 in Manchester before moving on to Birmingham, Dublin and London.

Kicking off at 235 Casino in Manchester on April 26, the Poker Academy will see professional players Ian ‘Raiser’ Frazer and Paul ‘Action’ Jackson conduct three hours of interactive lectures assisted by poker author Alex Rousso. This will be followed by a poker tournament in which players can ask Jackson and Frazer for their advice during live play.

Bluff Europe revealed that the lectures in Manchester would cover some of the sport’s most crucial concepts such as the fundamental theory of poker, luck and variance, dealing with defeat and bankroll management.

“This is great opportunity for poker enthusiasts to learn to improve their games with the help of some of the best players around,” said Rousso.

“We really want to challenge you to think like a professional poker player and help you improve your game and bankroll.”

After Manchester, Poker Academy moves on to Birmingham’s Broadway Casino on May 9 where Dave ‘Devilfish’ Ulliott will join Rousso and Jackson. Ulliott will serve as the resident pro for the next stop at Dublin’s Sporting Emporium on May 16 before Phil ‘The Unabomber’ Laak takes over for the finale, which is scheduled for London’s Casino at the Empire on May 23.

“This is a great day out for players who want to get inside the heads of poker pros and learn their tricks and thought processes,” said Michael Caselli, Editor-In-Chief for Bluff Europe.
