I Call You All-In

Date: Thu, May 21, 2009 Professional

So I was playing a week ago at the casino and I thought I would bring up something that went down at the table. There was a donk that brought her stack up to 2300 at a $5/5 nl table. I sat down at the table late in to her session. I could tell that she was inexperienced because she kept on making string bets. She kept on going back and forth to her stack even after constantly being told by the dealer.

Why not to play soft against your friends at the poker table

Date: Tue, May 5, 2009 Professional

The one thing that has been bugging me lately when playing cash games (live) is the amount of soft play that is going on at the tables. Soft play occurs usually when friends are in the pot together and end up checking the hand down. This usually happens at lower stakes poker games, however I have seen witnessed this sort of stuff in $5/10 nl games.

The UIGEA and the Current State of Online Poker in the United States

Date: Mon, Apr 27, 2009 Professional

I recently asked a few online poker players what they thought was the biggest negative effect that the UIGEA had on online poker. They all gave me a very similar response. They all said that the UIGEA has caused a lot of the action to dry up on many of the top poker sites in the last few years. Simply put there isn’t as many people who come online with the intentions of dropping a few hundred dollars playing poker. The truth is that people may be scared because they think it’s a crime to play online poker in the United States. This isn’t the case for the most part (there are some exceptions in certain States).
