Do You Have A Tell?
Do you have a tell or tells? Every good poker player has asked that question of themselves.
Poker Probabilities and Mathematics
To BE A REALLY GOOD POKER PLAYER it is essential to have a fair idea of the direct probabilities underlying various situations in poker in order to use them as a guide to one's general course of action. But one should always bear in mind that in the final bet or bets the psychology of one's opponents is much more important than any of the direct mathematical probabilities.
Unfriendly Stakes
They tell you old friends make the best poker pals. Well, whoever said that first couldn't crawl his way through a dust storm in the Panhandle. I mean, there's just nobody I hate to play with more than a group of giddy gooses all liquored up and discussing old times around some poker table in the basement.
Making the Best Advantage of Online Casino Free Bonuses
Online casino free bonuses are here to stay. And they can be really good. Is there anything a player could do to make the best advantage of them? The answer is DEFINITELY YES. Most online casino players know a series of tips, which thi
Master The Cards Or The Cards Will Master You
Control is something we all want. Control of our destiny, control of our income, control of the automobile, even control of our relationships. When we have control, we feel safe. Feeling safe is good. We like that feeling.
In a poker game, controlling or mastering the cards is difficult, but achievable. In fact, if we do not control or master the cards we play, we will lose.
Speed Thinking
Is fast thinking a gift at birth or can it be developed? Poker is a game of speed. This is particularly true in a casino or card club setting where there is a center dealer provided by the club. Th
Win Big Pots
I see it all the time. And it happens because fairly sophisticated players make a basic mistake. That basic error is another instance in which you let your ego get involved. Take this scenario:
The game is Texas Hold 'Em and the big blind has Q.-2. Everyone folds except the button who raises. The little blind folds and it is your option to call, re-raise or fold. What do you do? You have the strong suspicion the guy is stealing and you dislike him intensely. Again, what do you do?
Who Is Your Toughest Opponent?
Stop for a moment and visualize the faces of your toughest opponents. What makes them tough? Do they check-raise? Do they put fear in your heart when they bet? Do they have the reputation of being the very best players around? What makes them good players?
May I suggest to you that your toughest opponent is not Bob, The Brick, or Polish Steve? I suggest that your biggest opponent is you, the guy who looks at you in the mirror every single day. The person who deprives you of the most money at the poker table is you.
Trapped By Second Best
What is the most expensive hand in poker? Every poker player worth his salt knows it is the second best hand. They don't payoff for second at the track. It is not only the financial cost, but also the embarrassment. I still shudder to think of the times when the showdown was three handed and I was the bottom dog in that pile. Oh, it hurt. At that moment, if I had not been too lazy to work and too chicken to steal I would have given up poker forever.In low-limit poker there is so much chasing.
