Poker: Summer Fun?

This week at b5media’s Sports channel we are celebrating the fun of summer, which in the world of poker usually doesn’t translate to much: the light of day does not touch most players, we are lurking, we are pale and glowing from our computer screens, or hidden in the folds of some casino where we […]

Flopping a Set

The math says that a pocket pair preflop will flop a set, or pick up its third card to match the pair, roughly 1 in 8 times.
In cash games, with most small pairs, if you are playing at a full table, you often aren’t going to win the pot with pairs of 9’s and lower […]

Newsbreak: Jamie Gold not a total Donk

So Gold can fold top pair without a sweat. I would have never guessed. He must have not seen his cards right because that dude is weird.
