Varying Your Value Bets
Most successful poker players understand the importance of betting for value. In fact, value betting is an absolutely essential skill to learn, if you are to grow your bankroll.

Poker Patter 2
The second part of “Poker Patter”, a look at the colourful vocabulary of the poker table, covers some of the obscure and humorous nicknames assigned to Texas Hold’em hands. If you ever found yourself wondering why your opponent was talking about his “Flat Tyre” in the middle of a hand, you might not have realised he wasn’t referring to his car. Perhaps you were confused as to why the rest of the table suddenly started talking about tennis, after a player showed her AK? Read on, as the murky vocabulary of the poker table becomes that little bit clearer.

Playing Small Pairs In Tournaments
Small pocket pairs can sometimes be a problematic hand in No Limit Hold’em tournaments. Everyone has a good idea of what to do with Aces or Kings, but finding the correct play with a small pocket pair is a little trickier, as there is no hard and fast answer as to what is the right move.

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.

Poker Strategy: The Continuation Bet
The "Continuation Bet" is an essential part of any poker player's arsenal, but it is important to get the balance right; use the move too often and it becomes completely ineffective, but use it too little and you will be missing out on your fair share of pots at the poker table. Hopefully, we can help you master the art of continuation bet.
