01 Apr 09 Playing Monster Sized Tournaments
Unless you’re able to fork over at least $1,000 or more to play in a WSOP event, your only chance to play in a tournament with a giant field is going to be online. These super events can be a lot of fun to play in, but the number of entries is so deep that it can take a very long time to find yourself in the money, and even then, the early paid positions usually just provide your money back plus an extremely small (more…)

Just about everyone begins their poker career at the low limit tables, where they’ll stay for awhile, learn the fundamentals of the game, and then consider moving up to either higher limits or no-limit. However, making the switch to a no-limit game may not be the best course of action for you, at least maybe not at the moment. Here are some of the fundamental differences between limit and no-limit hold’em so that you can best calculate (more…)
06 Feb 09 Playing Multiple Tables Online
Read enough poker magazines and you’ll hear about megastar online poker players that play 6 tables at once spread across 4 computer/TV screens.

03 Feb 09 Playing In To Many Tournaments

Thanks to the TV poker craze, the excitement over tournament poker is at a all time high, which results in deep fields of players, which in turn means the chances of making it in the money, regardless of how good you play, (more…)

30 Jan 09 When Running Bad Turns To Playing Bad- Part II
Now, I don’t usually advocate altering my style of play when it has done me justice consistently in the past few weeks. However, after four losing sessions in a row, perhaps it is time to assess my game before my four session losing streak turns into ten.

26 Jan 09 When Running Bad Turns To Playing Bad- Part I
Sometimes my love hate relationship with poker turns to pure hate. For the past two weeks I’ve been playing cash games and it seemed as if I couldn’t lose. I was bluffing at all the right times, I was betting my draws (and hitting them), and I was making sick calls against my opponents.

Lets imagine, that we are playing 2/5 No Limit Texas Hold’em. In this scenario, we are the small blind with a hand like 4 6 of hearts, facing a raise of $25 dollars. There are 6 callers (more…)
