PokerPlayer has been the UK’s biggest and best poker magazine for over 100 issues. We’ve proven that we can talk a damned good game but the question is – can we play a good game too? Well, now is your chance to find out for yourself!
In association with our partners at William Hill Poker, we are going to be running private cash games where you can join Team PokerPlayer on the tables and attempt to steal our hard-earned bankrolls. As if humiliating us wasn’t incentive enough for you to play William Hill Poker are adding a ton of extra value for new players too, including free cash when you make a deposit and £250 in tournament tickets each and every month!
Analyse this
Every reader that plays in the private cash games will be entered into a random prize draw, with six lucky players receiving a seat into William Hill Poker’s Super Sunday £5k guaranteed tournament, worth £25.
We will also be picking out the most exciting cash game hands played and getting our roster of pros to analyse them in the next issue of PokerPlayer. Not only will you be given some expert advice for free but the best hand of the month will also win £100 worth of William Hill Poker tournament tickets. So it’s worth dusting off your triple barrel bluffs, check-raise shoves and ‘interesting’ plays with 7-2 – they could all sway the judges into awarding you the hand of the month.
Don’t worry if you’re not a master at cash games, the tables are running at $0.02/$0.05 up to $0.05/$0.10, so just $10 will get you 100BBs at the higher stakes table. These special cash game tables will run for two hours, giving you plenty of time to build up a stack and play some big pots. So what are you waiting for, sign up to William Hill Poker today and show us what you’ve got!

The PokerPlayer gunslingers
If you want to crush the PokerPlayer Cash Game Showdown tables first you’ll have to get past this motley crew…
Ross ‘PP_Jarvis’ Jarvis
A former online cash game pro, Jarvis likes to think he will be a tough nut to crack. But he is prone to getting distracted by the TV and making ill-timed 5-bet shoves. Path to victory: Distract Jarvis with talk about UFC, professional wrestling and expensive posh beers. Then pounce!
Dave ‘PP_Woods’ Woods
A founding father of PokerPlayer magazine, Woods has a good record against our loyal readers, with PPUKT and Grand Prix victories under his belt. Path to victory: Woods is famous for his addiction to pulling off one big bluff per session. Make sure you’re there to snap him off when it happens.
Tim ‘PP_Timmy’ Farthing
Financial maestro Farthing will be the first to admit he is still learning the ropes of cash game poker. However, his unorthodox play has been known to bewilder opponents into submission. Path to victory: Play ABC poker and wait for Farthing’s lack of poker fundamentals to bring about his downfall.
Nick ‘PP_Pryce’ Pryce
New online editor Nick Pryce has vast experience in tournaments and cash games online. He could emerge as Team PokerPlayer’s Most Valuable Player. Path to victory: No obvious weaknesses except for excessive facial hair. Criticise his beard and he could go on mega tilt.
