Wanted to drop a quick blog post about some thing that are up and coming with PokerOso.
1.) We would really like to ramp up the number of new listings and reviews so we are going to be incentivising (giving free swag) the process. Not sure exactly how the process is going to work or what we will be using promotionally but it’ll be good. Stay posted.
2.) I personally have been way more active on Twitter these days. It’s actually become a bit of an obsession for better or worse. Anyhow you can check out the PokerOso official Twitter feed at www.twitter.com/realpokeroso
3.) Coming soon we will be implementing a chat system on PokerOso very similar to the Facebook application so our members can talk to each other in real time. I personally am pretty excited about this.
4.) We will be doing some tutorials via YouTube video on different aspects of the website. PokerOso is pretty ridiculously user friendly so this will mostly be for fun and those that are mostly computer illiterate.
That’s all for now.

Happy Holidays Poker Players
Hello everyone, its been awhile. Things are moving along nicely over here at PokerOso. As of this writing we have a combination of 347 current comprehensive poker room listings and in depth unbiased poker room reviews. My personal goal is to have that number at 1000 in the next six months which is totally doable.
We have been doing a lot of work on poker rooms here in our home state of California. We are adding California poker room listings at the rate of about 40 a month and actually in the next few weeks we should have every California poker room listed in our directory. That in itself might not have the WOW factor as written but remember we aren’t just listing names and addresses but all the relevant information we can get our hands on. We have actually engaged a small team of folks to physically call every poker room in our directory to hand verify all the information. I couldn’t be more excited about the verification process as the major thing lacking in most directories of all varieties on the internet is reliable information. That will not be the case here at PokerOso.
I’ve posted these before but I’ll do it again. You can contact us at:

That’s what I have for now. I am also going to try and be more active in blogging and posting in the PokerOso community.
Thanks for reading and happy holidays to everyone out there.

The PokerOso Community and more......
There is a bunch to report as a lot of work has been going on just under the surface at PokerOso. So much so that I have been putting off posting because my nose has been to the grind stone with work and so many things have been changing on the site. The biggest and best change is the addition of the official PokerOso Community. If you have an existing account with PokerOso and haven’t checked in for sometime I recommend you do so. If you don’t have an account ( Sign Up ) for one and become a member of our community. Some of the features include but aren’t limited to your own,
Customizable Profile
Facebook Integration
Activity Streams
Wall Posts
Photo Gallery
Video Feed
Group Creation
Event Calendar
Private Messaging
And more……..
In addition to the newly created PokerOso Community we have made some minor changes to the site to make it a little more intuitive and user friendly. You will notice that we have added a new horizontal menu at the top of each page with brand new menu items including,
Featured Poker Rooms
Highest Rated Poker Room
Live Poker Directory ( with a full sized searchable map)
Most Reviewed Poker Room
Latest Poker Room Reviews
Again I have been hard at work making all these changes and it’s my hope that they significantly increase not only the traffic flow of PokerOso but also the general usability of the site. The most important aspect of PokerOso isn’t ad revenue, the number of unique visitors, the number of page impressions etc. The most important aspect is PokerOso’s overall usefulness to the poker community at large. My hope is that PokerOso is a tool that you can use as a poker player or an aspiring poker player that will make your life that much easier. After all our poker directory is upwards of 300 current comprehensive listings. I’m not talking about just names and addresses but actual listings with real information. We should be looking at about double that in the next 6 months.
As alway check us out on Twitter and Facebook.
That’s all for now.
Cheers,
Luke Thomas

New Montana Live Poker Listings
It’s been a while since I have post as I have been in Bali, Indonesia for the past 30 days lapping up the sun. Check out some of the pictures at http://seventycats.blogspot.com/ If you ever get a chance to go, GO!
Okay that being said some good things are brewing at the Poker Directory. We have roughly 60 new listings in the last 30 days and that number will be growing by leaps and bounds over the next few months. Live Poker is definitely in the house.
We have about (50) new live poker listings from the state of Montana we are currently working on. There are more card room in Montana than you can shake your fist at and information is scarce on a lot of these rooms as they are in remote areas but we are digging and re-digging for current comprehensive information. If you or someone you know plays poker regularly in Montana let us know and have them right a review of their favorite room and have them share some of there local knowledge with the Pokeroso user base.
The new PokerOso t-shirts are going to be coming in soon. We will be creating a page on the site to showcase said shirts most of which will be given away to listing managers, live poker room folks and PokerOso poker room reviews.
Check us out here.

Las Vegas & Florida Poker Room Listings
I wanted to drop a quick blog post to let everyone know that we now have over 50 current comprehensive Las Vegas Poker Room Listings. If you want to know about Vegas Poker you’ve come to the right spot. We are also working on our Reno listings which should be completed in the next week or two. If you frequent any of these rooms consider writing a room review. Not only are you helping us out but you are educating the poker community on your experience which is absolutely invaluable.
In addition to Las Vegas we really have a great cross section of rooms in the state of Florida which just raised it’s betting limits. Look for Florida to become another poker Mecca just like L.A. We have over 30 current comprehensive Florida Poker Rooms Listings from all the premier poker rooms in Florida.
Fun facts:
PokerOso.com has been visited by poker players in 45 countries including places like China, Iceland, Iran and Sri Lanka for example. We have also been visited by all of the Canadian Provinces and strangely not by the States of Hawaii, Wyoming, Vermont and West Virginia. We’re are not sure what’s up with them.
As of 8/12/2010 we have 153 current comprehensive poker room listings which feature things like contact information, user reviews and You Tube videos. Check out The Aria Las Vegas listing for a great example of one of our poker room listings. At the rate we are going we should have right around 500 current comprehensive listings by the new year.

July PokerOso update
I don’t know about you but I love statistics, facts and figures. Here are a few for the Pokeroso Poker Directory.
1.) We received visits to the site from 45 U.S. States, all the Canadian Provinces and 40 countries.
2.) PokerOso went live on May 31st 2010 and has received 1015 unique visitors.
3.) As of 7/5/2010 we have 83 poker room listings.
4.) I think that’s all I have. I wish I had 10 more.
On a really good note PokerOso has broken through in a key Google search term for our website, “Poker Room Directory.” Google Webmaster says we are number 5 in the ranking which is a drop in the bucket but a nice start as S.E.O. has proven to be no easy task. I can’t disclose but I am currently working on a couple of other search terms. I give you a clue, they have to do with poker, use your imagination.
Some things I am working on include adding video to PokerOso as well as adding a bunch of non U.S. online poker rooms. I am also working on incentivising (sp) reviews. I’m not sure what we are going to do but maybe something with PokerOso t-shirts or poker chips. Stay tunes for that.
