I have submitted the article to ezines, article hub, ect.. It was available for redistribution but the article clearly states the following
copyright © 2005-2006 http://www.bonusgeek.com All rights reserved.

Use of this article constitutes your understanding that you must keep all hyperlinks live and not invisible or disabled so that when clicked it will direct the clicker to the said website.
So it was just a poker article written and submitted to free articles websites for redistribution in hopes to attain some 1-way links.
