Live Poker Tells
Tuesday, 6 July, 2010A key to winning at live poker in the long term is observation. It is very important to watch your opponents at the poker table and react accordingly. Do they have noticeable betting patterns? Are they chasing losses or on tilt?
From Online To Live Poker
Sunday, 20 June, 2010Thanks to online poker, it is not unusual to encounter players at your local card room or casino that have never played in a live poker tournament before. Many players learn the basics on the internet before dipping their toe into the murky waters of the bricks and mortar casino and they will find live poker more intimidating than the online equivalent.

Wednesday, 16 June, 2010
Playing the big stack in a poker tournament can be great fun, but it is important not to get carried away and to avoid the common pitfalls associated with a chip lead.
Leveraging Bets in No Limit Hold’em
Friday, 21 May, 2010
Bet leveraging is a technique used by many of the top poker professionals to initially imply that they have a good hand, and then follow it up with hard chips if they have to. It is a strategy that will add incredible value to your game, as it should win you a lot more hands whilst reducing the potential risks that you may have to take.
Obtaining the Best Finish in a Tournament
Saturday, 15 May, 2010If you are a player who regularly – let’s say one in five times – finishes in the lower payout area of the bubble in a poker tournament, it might be time to rethink your strategy later in the game. Obviously you are doing many things right to obtain that position, but in order to make your tournament play more rewarding, there might be a small adjustment you could make.
Playing The Turn Card
Wednesday, 12 May, 2010The 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.
Varying Your Value Bets
Sunday, 9 May, 2010Most 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.
Finding Value in Satellites
Saturday, 8 May, 2010At this moment in time, practically every poker site is tempting their clientele with gateways to multi-million dollar competitions such as the WSOP, SCOOP and ECOOP, but are they really as valuable to a player as they seem? If you were to win (say) a $50 qualifier to one of the big finals, would you not have been better off taking the $10.000 prize and then deciding what you would like to do with the money?
Flopping Two Pair
Friday, 7 May, 2010Flopping two pair in No Limit Hold’em is a great feeling and it is definitely a hand you want to play aggressively, but it is important to remember that not all flopped two pair holdings are the same.
Mixed Poker Game Strategies
Wednesday, 5 May, 2010Frequently, 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.
