Playing The Turn Card
The flop is the most important part of a No Limit Hold’em poker hand, as that is where the bulk of decisions will be made about how to progress, but it is just as important to know how to correctly play the turn card.

Basic Strategy for Rush Poker
Full Tilt Poker’s recently launched game known as “Rush Poker”, was hailed as “the greatest innovation since poker started on the Internet”. Now that the dust has settled on the game’s grand release and they hype has all but disappeared, how do we actually go about playing it effectively?

Stepping Up Your Poker Game
So you’ve learned the rules of your favourite poker game, you’ve splashed around in a few games at the local casino and now you fancy a crack at making some money out of the game. Here are three key pieces of advice that are absolutely essential when it comes to developing your skills and making the step up from a novice playing for fun, to a serious poker player.

Chip Etiquette
Any time you play with real poker chips (that is: whenever you aren’t playing poker on the Internet), you should observe proper chip etiquette. Good poker etiquette can make each hand go a little faster – which is almost always good as far as your fellow players are concerned. Another advantage to chip etiquette is that you are more likeable to other players. When you treat your chips like an experienced poker player, the other people at the table are more willing to treat you like an experienced poker player.

Playing the Position
Position is one of the most important considerations for a poker player to ponder. Irrespective of one’s ability, experience or hand strength, playing a hand out of position is going to be difficult, as anyone else involved has far more information than you do.

Mixed Poker Game Strategies
Frequently, mixed poker games provide a refreshing change from the regular Hold'em or Omaha hands you are used to playing – a change is as good as a rest, and all that. Even if you are proficient in either (or both) of these games, the draw poker games may provide a bit of a challenge and so before you play, it is better to gain a little bit of knowledge and a few tips regarding the rules.
