Pokerstars NL25 (Fast - 6 max) - Video

Here is my first video of cash game. It was right at the end of my session and I was about to leave the table but there was a player, "ccc53" and he was overbetting almost every pot. The funny thing was, he was winning every hand. He went from $20 to $65 in just a few hands. I wasn't sure if this guy was a total donk or if he was just getting lucky. I started recording and I picked up a lot of hands! Unfortunately I couldn't stack "ccc53" and maybe I should have slow played the 2 sets I got against him. I skipped a bunch of hands because the video...

When Passive Plays - Chris Ferguson

There's no question that aggressive poker is winning poker. If the world's top players have only one thing in common, it's that they take control of the hands they play with bets and raises. Usually, among the world's poker elite, calling is the least attractive option.For this tip, however, I thought I'd talk about a couple of instances when playing passively - just checking and calling bets - may be the preferred option.Top Pair, Favorable BoardSay...

Playing with John D'Agostino - Jay Greenspan

As a writer covering the poker circuit, I wasn't surprised to see that John D'Agostino took second in the Borgata Winter Open, netting more than half a million dollars. John is widely considered one of the great, young, all-around players in the game. He's equally comfortable playing limit and no-limit, cash games, and tournaments.I got a particularly close look at John's play a week prior to Borgata, when we shared a table in Tunica at the $10,000...

On Cavemen and Poker Players - Ben Roberts

There are four possible outcomes for any session of poker. You might win a little, lose a little, win a lot, or lose a lot. Most of us react differently to the different outcomes. When we win big, we're elated; when we lose big we're upset. Think back to some recent bad beats. Do you recall feeling a rush of adrenaline and an overwhelming sense of rage? If you haven't encountered this, you're lucky; most players have.I believe that reactions at the...
