Daily Star columnist leading the way for women in Britain to feel comfortable playing poker online...
Helen "Hell's Bells" Chamberlain
Helen Chamberlain is not just an entertaining columnist for the Daily Star and the best looking presenter on Sky Sports. The gutsy blonde is truly leading the way for British women to feel very comfortable gambling online. Listening to a quote she gave a magazine the other day I was struck by the pure sanity of the woman who's rapidly becoming one of the top women poker players in the world.
"People think if you head into a casino you come out eyes deep in debt. It's not true. I can play at a casino, buy £30 worth of chips, and still have the same amount two hours later!"
It's the entertainment value. It's the involvement. It's not passive like sitting in front of theTV for hours on end like a couch potato (with the exception of Soccer AM!). See also: Hell's Bells

FREQUENTLY ASKED POKER QUESTIONS
Q: Can someone explain the idea of the check-raise?
A: THis is when you check to your opponent with the idea of seducing him to bet so that you can then raise him back. Your scam is to give your opponent or opponents a false sense of security with your initial check, luring them out so you can hit them with your follow up raise and make the pot more juicy. Keep in mind, if an opponent invests a bet he probably has committed himself enough to go for one more to chase his investment. This will likely be his mistake and your good fortune.
Q:As a new player, I've been playing limit Hold 'em as I don't want my betting to get out of hand. What signals the readiness to go no-limit?
A: Assuming you reach a stage where you're comfortable with your game and your discipline, you'll eventually become frustrated on those occasions when you have a truly premium hand and you can't extract real pot value for it. No-limit doesn't need to make you a more dangerous player. The idea is that when you're in control and competent within your game, no-limit provides you with the tool to really capitalise when it counts. It's those decisions to go for it that usually define areally successful poker player.
