Understanding Implied Odds - Rafe Furst

Most players know what pot odds and implied pot odds (aka implied odds) are, and how to calculate them. Just about every poker book or website has a section on the topic. Still, I often see people making mistakes in calculating implied odds - especially when playing online. Too often, implied odds are invoked as a reason for a play when "wishful thinking" would be the more accurate description of the situation.A perfect example came up in a recent...

Back down to $7...Gosh

Can't fold this, double gutted and over card..hit the turn but he hit river for a full house.I guess I got out played, what can I say:(This one got me mad..F*ing donks, raising everything and than sucking out..sob..Anyway, heres a big bluff from yesterday before I went to bed..This guy was getting on my nerves, always...

Harrington on Hold 'em Expert Strategy for No Limit Tournaments, Vol. 1: Strategic Play

Okay, heres one of the best no limit tournament books to ever come out. I heard so many good things about this book. I just purchased it and only have read 100 pages or so and it gave me a new perceptive on the game of hold'em. It has really changed my game for the better.This book is not really for the beginner, it is called expert strategy and is intended for average to advanced player. Poker has taken America by storm. But it s not just any form...

I'm on Fire!! Nothing can stop me now:)

So, I've been playing good lately. I've been playing a little bit of loose aggressive and than switch to tight aggressive. Working real well cause I'm getting the cards too. Than I go for the trap with small pair and hit a set and works out well. Everything is working. The players on Action Poker play very passive which is a very bad style, just calling and not too much raising. So I can see a lot of flops out of position and get 2 pair or a 3 of...

Table Talk - Gavin Smith

I talk a lot at the table. I like meeting people, and poker tournaments give me the opportunity to chat with a lot of nice folks. The conversations I have between hands are not just pleasant - they can also be informative. What a player shares about himself will often determine how I'll play against him down the line.For example, say I'm playing in a $10,000 tournament. I ask the young person to my left how he bought into the tournament and he tells...

Grinding the Mirco Stakes on Action Poker

Alright, so I lost some money the other night and was back down to $8 on Action Poker. I took the $8 to 2 5cent,10cent tables and doubled up fast in one. So I took $4 out and was playing at 3 tables cause they go so slow. I was just playing solid abc poker and worked my bankroll to $25. So I made about $17 tonight for about an hours work, not bad. I only have 270 Action Points, I need to reach 1100 points in 13 days..I`m going to have to move up...

YouTube does Tony G.

I have a great time when I play poker. And I’m known as a ‘trash talker’ by many, that is part of my game. I use my mouth as well as my poker skills to win when I’m in a competition. I’m really a soft spoken, warm hearted individual and never hold any malice or spite for anyone. Even though I’m happy to bust you out of a tournament, I’m genuinely sorry that you went broke and had to leave. Perhaps that doesn’t make sense to you but that’s how I feel about the play of the game. Because once you are out, you have to leave and wait for the next tournament....

Starting from Zero - Chris Ferguson

I'm almost a year into an experiment on Full Tilt Poker. I'm attempting to turn $0 into a $10,000 bankroll. With no money to start with, I had no choice but to start out playing Freerolls. Starting out, I'd often manage to win a dollar or two, but I'd quickly get busted and have to start over again. It took some time but, after awhile, I was eventually able to graduate to games that required an actual buy-in.Even today, people don't believe it's...

Looking at the Long-Term - Erik Seidel

Tournament poker can be a very tough business. No matter how good you are, you're bound to encounter long periods where things don't go well. On the tournament circuit, even the best players can go several months - or even a couple of years - between significant cashes. These dry spells can be tough to deal with if you don't develop a solid mental approach to the game.I think the down times are particularly difficult for younger players who have...

Action Poker

Played a little Action Poker today. At least I'm up today. Started with $8 and was at $25 but lost $6 with aces and missed 8 flush draws so down to $13..I was playing the 5cent, 10 cent games, thats the lowest limit anyway. Theres a ton of donks there but they always seem to suck out. Anyway, I'm at 213 points there and need to reach 1100 im 18 days. I'm pretty sure I can do it as long as I don't go broke:)In the picture, was happening to me all...

Playing Mixed Games - Jennifer Harman

Pot-Size Manipulation - Gavin Smith

One of the key skills that winning big-bet players bring to the table is the ability to manipulate the size of the pot. They manage to play big pots when they have big hands, and keep the pot smaller when their holdings are more modest. If you think carefully about your betting throughout a hand, you can set yourself up to play a pot that's appropriate for the strength of your hand.For starters, let's look at a hand that gets a lot of players in...

Unibet - Finially cashed out

I finally received my $342 from Unibet. Unibet blocked my account when I tried to withdraw and told me to send them a picture of my ID. I took a picture of my driver's license on my webcam(I covered important numbers), it was a little blurry so they denied it. Than I took a picture on my digital camera, it was hard to get a clear picture because of the plastic on the card reflecting the light. Anyway, they said it'll take a few days to verify the...

My Book Every Hand Revealed Has Been Released! - Gus Hansen

Gus Hansen's book is finally out. I'm a big fan of Gus, I love his style although it is very different than mine. His book look very well written and describes his hands in great detail.Finally, after months of hard work, months of editing and what seems like months of post-production, my book "Every Hand Revealed" has finally been released. The book is already available online at Amazonand lots of other eBookstores and it will hit the "real-life"...

Betting out of Position - Gus Hansen

Every Hold 'em strategy guide talks about the importance of positional advantage. The standard thinking is that the player who acts last has more information than his opponents, so he'll have a better sense of where he stands in a hand and can, therefore, make better decisions. There's no doubt that this is true, but it's important to understand that the power that comes with position is often granted to the late-position player by the early-position...

Sizing Up Your Opening Bet - Chris Ferguson

I never get tired of saying it: If you're the first to enter the pot in a No-Limit Hold 'em game, never call. If you aren't prepared to raise, throw your hand away.Why, you ask? Simple. By raising, you put pressure on the blinds and the other players at the table, making them consider just how strong their hands really are. Chances are that by raising, you'll force marginal hands to fold before you even see the flop, limiting the number of players...

Action Poker

Haven't written a post in awhile, haven't played much lately either. I've played a little bit on Action Poker with the free $40. Not many players there and I was told they are on the Action Poker Network meaning they're probably the only one on that network but I was told theres 15 other pokerooms on that network(Probably 15 crap poker rooms cause it takes forever to get a 6 handed sit and go started). Hardly any sit and gos there, and you don't...

Play More Pots - Erick Lindgren

In tournaments, I play lots of hands. I'll put my money in with all kinds of connected cards, especially when in position. I might limp, I might min-raise or raise a little more than the minimum, depending on the circumstances. I'm looking to keep my table off balance so they don't know where I'm coming from.My overall goal is to pick up a lot of small pots without a lot of resistance. I might raise in position and hope for a call from one of the...
