Here’s a pretty great general overview of how to use connectors and other small cards to bluff when you miss with them, adding value and going behind the idea of betting even when you miss with your weird draws.
This is a fantastic analysis of how to work your hands even when they didn’t work, adding […]
I’m reading a book that has a lot of descriptions of golf in it right now (not as boring as it sounds). It’s called SEAVIEW, written by Toby Olson, and it’s about a golf hustler whose wife has cancer and who is being tracked by a drug dealer he messed up a deal for. A […]
This week’s feature on the sports channel here @ b5, we’re discussing what it is we love about sports and/or our sport of choice (mine being poker).
I always laugh when people say poker is a sport. If you can do it sitting down, while drinking a beer, and be 300 pounds overweight, it’s not a […]
There’s been a bit of discussion lately among my local poker friends as to what “friendly play” consists of at a table. I play a few different games during the week, one a home game where it’s just friends and low blinds and moderate buyins, another slightly higher stakes ring game with many more unknown […]
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 […]
Do people really believe that you make your own luck? I’ve always snorted at this sentiment: as if the cards will change based on whether or not I feel like I’m going to win. You hear people like Daniel Negreanu say “If you don’t feel like you’re going to win, you’re not going to win.” […]
I enjoyed watching Nenad Medic play on the new episode of WPT. Supposedly a big cash game killer, he employed a different tactic than the usual slash and burn style of those big guys in tournament games: much more careful and not trying to run everyone over, but making his moves at smart spots and […]
I read an article in CardPlayer not too long ago where Daniel Negreanu had a column about how he thought the World Series of Poker should be reorganized. His argument was that people like to see big name players on TV and that big name players should have a better chance to win, so he […]
I’ve never been a fan of listening to music while playing cards. Even when sitting in for long sessions at a casino that stretch 20-30 and up, when often time seems to blur and the urge to smear things over becomes apparent, I don’t like the way the music takes a certain edge out of […]
Right now I’m in the middle of rereading BLOOD MERIDIAN by Cormac McCarthy, a book about scalp hunters on the border of Texas and Mexico. It’s an incredibly explicit and violent book, and near the middle there was a monologue that to me seemed to sum up perfectly the spirit of competition, particularly in poker.
