Moving From Live to Online Poker
Friday, 30 April, 2010
If you’re looking to make the switch from live to internet poker, be sure to realise there are some major differences between the two. You might be a winning poker player at your local casino, but dipping your toe into the online poker waters for the first time requires adjustment.
Playing the Ace Rag

Know Your Outs and Pot Odds
Sunday, 25 April, 2010
Most poker players, even complete novices, will be aware of the concept of pot odds. To become a long term winner at poker, it is essential to put your chips into the pot only when receiving the correct price (or better). As luck evens itself out over time, if you only ever contest pots that offer better than your true odds of winning, you will make a long term profit at poker.
Playing Ace-King

There are two meanings for the term “Short handed” in poker games. The one most frequently applied, is when players are playing on a ring table comprising of only 6 players, however the phrase can also relate to the endgame in a tournament or single table Sit’n'Go, where the number of players has decreased as the competition progresses – ultimately resulting in a “Heads Up” scenario. Short handed poker is an area of the game that every poker player will experience at some stage, and should learn how best to manage to their favor.

Sklansky’s System For Winning NL Hold’em Tournaments
Monday, 19 April, 2010Although we all like to believe that we are the best player at the poker table, it simply cannot be true all of the time. We all find ourselves playing in No Limit Hold’em tournaments where there is a superior opponent crushing the table, or even an inferior opponent who is running good and proving to be a menace. Perhaps you are a complete novice and almost every player in the competition is better than you. How can we best approach these situations and increase our chances of winning the tournament?
Chips Stacks in Tournaments
Friday, 16 April, 2010
When playing in a No Limit Hold’em poker tournament, it is important to keep an eye on your fellow players in order to absorb as much information as possible, which will help make your decisions easier. Paying attention to your rivals, the cards they play and their betting patterns is not the only useful source of information though.
Playing Against a Pre-Flop Raise
Thursday, 15 April, 2010
You’re playing No Limit Texas Hold’em and you’re dealt a premium hand. A player in front of you opens with a raise. It’s a great feeling, but it’s just as important to play this situation correctly as it is to fold a poor hand or to call when the pot odds are right, if you are to build a bankroll and be a winning poker player in the long term.
