Following Through in Poker

Poker Following Through Raise Years ago when I first started studying and playing poker online then some poker authors described how great poker players had what was called great “follow through”. This meant that if they bet or raised with a weak hand that they then continued their bluffs on further streets thus presenting their opponent with even more pressure. In modern times then this has become known as firing multiple barrels and it is also the hallmark of a good accomplished player. Let us look at an example here to highlight what I mean. (more…)

Switching from hold’em to Omaha

Holdem Poker Vs Omaha One of the key factors in switching from Texas Hold’em poker to PLO is in the number of hand combinations that there are in Omaha compared to hold’em. In hold’em you have juts the one hand combination and so if you get A-J then you can only use A-J and nothing else apart from what is on the board but these are community cards for everyone to use. But in Omaha then you have four cards but this makes six times the number of hand combinations and not four. (more…)

The power of unpredictability in poker

Upredictable Poker Player Irrespective of what type of poker you are playing, the power of being unpredictable is a very strong one indeed. In fact predictable poker can really only succeed at low levels where your opponents are not really paying attention to the game. Whenever I played at Texas Holdem NL 50 or NL100 but especially at NL50 then many of the players simply didn’t watch the game closely enough. (more…)

The Stress of Playing Professional Poker

Professional Poker Stress You are more than likely aware of the old poker saying “it’s a tough way to make an easy living”.

Legal Poker Sites For US Players

Legal Poker US Sites Poker is such an exciting game to play. This is why Americans have loved the game ever since its existence. And even up to this time that it is also being played through the internet, the US poker players are also playing and enjoying their hearts out with this game. However, as the federal government passed the law UIGEA or Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, US poker players are having a difficult time looking for poker sites for US players.

4 Basic Poker Tips

Easy Basic Poker Tips Even Poker pros say that Poker is one game that’s easy to learn, but mastering it is very hard. For some, the hard part is challenging; for others, a dreaded thought. However, the nature of the game doesn’t see who likes what about it. Similarly, the player should only focus on winning the money on the table. Like they say, recite the words “Winner Winner Chicken Dinner” in your mind, all the time. All that’s nice, but it’s not really going to help, especially if you want to make it to the WSOP someday, unless you have some knowledge about Poker. Knowledge, in the form of ideas and strategies that you can immediately use, is what you need to know. (more…)
