Notified of this incident, Mr. Trevor Holewinski, Chief Executive Officer of PokerPlasm, Inc., was visibly perturbed. “At this time…,” stated Mr. Holewinski, “I have no comment concerning any relocation to Eastport or elsewhere.”

Anonymous sources close to the company say Mr. Holewinski has already made the decision to relocate but finalizing financials and employee benefits with union representatives are taking much longer than expected. Analysts believe a possible spring 2010 move is the most likely scenario.

Both magazines ceased print versions in March 2009. The company is privately held so no financial statements have been made public.

In this week’s PokerPlasm Europa issue…

• We sit down with Complete Poker Rules Owner, Geoff Manning and ask him the tough poker questions.
• Why did photographer, Jimbl, show up at the The HoneyDipper Invitational naked and with a snake? Our experts tell you why!
• For the first time anywhere, the heart-wrenching story of Street3, will be told. A sad story of a sad man in a sad state.
• BizarroGrundy wins the Pulitzer Prize. Is the Nobel Prize next?

In two weeks (November 13th), the Twitter Bicentennial Open (part of the Twitter Poker Tour), is scheduled to be played. More information as it becomes available through twitter!

I just flipped through it rather quickly, but here are the main points I picked up.

• Steven “Grundy” Murphy really put his foot in his mouth this time. His Who Killed Poker Chat? piece has the poker masses very upset. What is this guy thinking?
• The editorial by BizarroGrundy is spot on. A fresh take on poker in my opinion.
• Street3 is back in jail…no surprises there.
• Nothing about The Jester, thankfully.
• A fantastic hand analysis article by Complete Poker Rules, called Villain in Early Position with AA! Vote today!
• And finally, The HoneyDipper Invitational is gaining momentum. This tournament is going to be huge. Even the twitter community is jumping through hoops to register!

Pick up your copy today and enjoy one of the most popular magazines on this side of the Pecos. And remember, even Wikipedia has defined it

Lee “The Jester” Cambell has been awarded the World’s Worst Poker Player award for 2008. This honor, given out on an annual basis by the Society of Poker Players, is a tribute to gross incompetence, shameful gambling patterns, and utter poker inability.

Other notable candidates were Whiskers (Society of Poker Players Cat) and the citizens of Sheffield, UK.

PokerPlasm Europa was the first to report on this breaking story. Asked what he thought of the only award he has won in the poker arena, Mr. Cambell had this to say,

This is a bunch of bollocks!

Asked to comment further, Mr. Cambell pushed this reporter and cameraman away, and walked briskly into his Sheffield home. Before slamming the door, he replied with,

They…you…everyone will hear from my attorneys.

Another losing case for Mr. Cambell’s legal representatives, Beasley & Drabble Associates. More on this story as it becomes available.

Digging deeper in the interview, you will read that FFcowboy pulls no punches in this exclusive. No apologies are made for his remarks towards various freeroll whores, poker scum, and assorted garbage.

Playing The Jester is like fishing, just throw a line out and he bites every time.

He gets right down to the nitty-gritty and lets the membership know where everyone stands, a unique and refreshing approach.

He is quick to add that a big freeroll is scheduled for tomorrow and invites all that are interested. Here is the important information he has passed on to us.

Poker Site: Doyle’s Room
Tournament Name: PokerPlasm Tourney League
Date/Time: June 5th, 2008, 7pm Est.
Password: In Pokerplasm Events Passwords forum, (must be PokerPlasm member to view).

So if you enjoy poker and would like to see more tournaments and games, then please support the new Tourney Director’s initiatives.

What are the biggest differences between UK/European poker and the US style?
The biggest difference for me is the level of bad attitude and misplaced self belief the Yanks have as opposed to UK players, I’d rather not discuss the continental types as they are nothing more than froggy snail eaters and idiot Krauts. So yeah the UK poker player is more shrewd and has better manners where the Yanks are all talk and mainly scum. English players are the best in the world, except for Dave Devilfish, he has spent too long with the Yanks and is as irritating and full of crap as they are now.

So to recap, the English are the best, followed by the Scandinavians (they only have 3 hours of sunlight so make good poker players) and the worst players are the Yanks. And to further clarify my statement, that includes PokerPlasm and World Forum Poker members who my research has proved are 97% scum and terrible players as well as awful people.

Anyone getting tired of listening to The Jester?

We are sick and tired of his constant yapping, and are willing to pay to have him shut it! And well…here is your chance. On October 4th and October 5th, you will have a shot at taking out The Jester. The Freeroll Event on October 4th will have $50 in prizes, a PokerPlasm t-shirt bounty on The Jester’s head, and the winner will also receive a signed autographed picture of The Jester and a PokerPlasm t-shirt. The Buyin Event on October 5th will have $20 added to the prizepool, a PokerPlasm t-shirt and $10 bounty on The Jester’s head, and the winner will also receive a signed autographed picture of The Jester and a PokerPlasm t-shirt.

Oh and by the way, the PokerPlasm Europa article has been getting so much (bad) press for The Jester, his lawyers have actually tried to withdraw it!

From Beasley & Drabble Associates (legal representatives of Lee “The Jester” Cambell),

The quotes used in the PokerPlasm Europa magazine article were taken out of context. We are discussion with the publishing house and asking that they withdraw this article, and offer a full unconditional apology, as well as an out of court settlement to compensate for tarnishing this great gentleman’s reputation.

So come on out and let’s teach The Jester what us Yanks are made of on the poker table!
