Big Blind Play in Limit Hold'em - Jennifer Harman

In Limit Hold 'em, the big blind is one of the toughest position to play. You're out of position, and that's never a good thing, but usually, you'll be getting excellent odds to continue with the hand. Against a single opponent who has raised, you'll be getting better than 3 to 1 and, in most hands, you're no more than a 2 to 1 dog. The problem is, you'll often find yourself going into the flop with shaky cards and, at that point, you're sure to...

Firing the Second Bullet - Greg Mueller

In No-Limit Hold 'em, one of the trickiest and, sometimes, scariest situations occurs when you bluff at a pot on the flop and get called.

Pacific Poker Network Is Silently Emptying Idle Accounts

The other day, I logged into my Lucky Ace Poker account. I had $25 in there and when I logged in I only had $5. And there is no transaction history at Lucky Ace so I contacted their support. They said since I haven't used my account in 6 months, I have to pay an "administration fee at a rate of 10% of the balance in the account" every month until I log back in.

Beware the Min Raise - Phil Gordon

Say you're playing in a low-stakes ring game. The blinds are $.50 and $1, and it's folded to you in middle position. You find a nice hand - pocket Tens - and bring it in for a standard raise of three times the big blind. It's folded around to a player in late position, who re-raises the minimum amount, making it $5 to go.I've seen this sort of play repeatedly in the past few months while researching my next No-Limit Hold 'em book by playing in low-stakes...

This is especially true when holding bottom two pair or top and bottom pair. These hands may look dominant on the flop, but they're usually quite vulnerable.For example, say you're playing a No-Limit Hold 'em ring game. There's a standard raise to four times the big blind from middle...
