Frequent player points are a great way to promote extended play; the more you play, the more you earn.

And with your FPPs you can get everything from TVs to cameras to cars to poker clothing (Please don't).

But even though the loyalty programs have gotten better, there are some things you're just never going to be allowed to buy.

But hey, we can still dream can't we?

PokerListings.com has been at the WSOP for the last four years and even though we're there to report on poker, we're really just trying to take pictures of beautiful women.

We've been scouring our WSOP photo database to bring you the best of the best. Some of these girls can actually play the game, some not so much, but what they all have in common is looking great while they do it.

There is no ranking system here, just a page filled with lovely ladies at the WSOP felt. After all, we wouldn't want anyone's feelings to get hurt.

This is just the first in a hopefully long series of hottest girls posts. We travel the world to report on poker, but our telephoto lenses are always extended and ready.

Praise Allah that High Stakes Poker was brought back for a fifth season. Watching actual poker being played for substantial sums of money is infinitely better than listening to Mike and Vince drone on about the umpteenth billion "race situation."

First of all we'd like to say that we'd never counsel you to ignore your family, especially during the holidays. Sure, they never leave you alone and they're always wanting something - presents, candy, shoes without holes in the bottoms - but if you ignore them, the authorities will probably have something to say about it.

Christmas is here - time to break out the eggnog, shortbread, turkey, ham, knit sweaters, wrapping paper, plenty of mulled wine to take the edge off the in-laws and of course, the classic Christmas carols.

World Series of Poker final tables are always important events, but on Thursday's final table at the Betfair Poker 2008 World Series of Poker Europe Main Event, one man has a chance to make real history.
