So, you go to a bigger sized no limit game with a bunch of strangers and you bring a friend. Your friend plays pretty solid poker. You end up in a pot with your friend alone and he bets out at you, equal to the size of the pot. You know he probably has at […]
I’ve seen a lot of incentives added by house games to induce action at the table lately. I like these options added as it tends to keep the game up and moving and never allows it to become too stagnant, as your regular blind no limit game can sometimes fall into if you have too […]
I love reading the fiction in a gambling magazine. They always have these stories about guys sitting around the table, and then they get into a huge hand where there is quads over quads, rendered in tense, action-packed turn of the card prose, and then one guy thinks the other is cheating and goes to […]
So you’re a table with several donkey players. You see a flop on the button in a minorly raised pot with KJ. The flop comes K 7 5 rainbow. A player in front of you, who has been betting or calling on almost every hand, bets into the board. The other players fold to you. […]
So, if you haven’t seen, Chris Ferguson has an interesting experiment going on over at Full Tilt.
His goal was to start with $0 and build it up to $10,000 by playing (at first) freerolls, and slowly building his stack. By winning small prizes here and there, and slowly increasing his stakes, he’s already turned the […]

I like his thought of considering what the short stack would do with your cards, and that being the decider of whether you should push the action or not.
Gus, write a poker book. Please.

What did I just say? That you should leave a game when you know you’re playing wrong?
Harder than it sounds.
I messed up last night trying to get cute with QQ under the gun. Limped, let 5 people in. Bet the flop of 238 hard and got called by the player named “Gambler.” On the turn […]
One of the big things that separates the winners from the losers in long run play is your ability to minimize the losses: the smarts to get up and walk away when you’re playing wrong. I can’t count on both hands the number of times I’ve taken a bad beat or two in a row […]
I love High Stakes Poker on TV. It is always fun to watch. I recently dropped my cable so I can’t watch it on GSN anymore. But there are plenty of places around the web that have it chopped up into clips.
Here is Season 4 Episode 1: link.
You can follow from that page to other […]
