Playing Small Pocket Pairs Preflop in 6-Max No-Limit Hold’em
Date: Mon, Jun 30, 2008
This is a rapid fire article on playing small pocket pairs preflop in 6-max no-limit. By small pairs I mean roughly 66 and worse.

Firing A Position Bet When The Preflop Raiser Checks
Date: Thu, Jun 26, 2008
I was playing $0.10-$0.25 on Full Tilt today while making a video for Stoxpoker, and I came across a common bluffing situation that’s often quite profitable.

The River Value Min-Raise
Date: Tue, Jun 17, 2008
The river value min-raise is a play I use with some frequency. I most typically try it when I’m heads-up with position on the river, and I have a hand I was planning to bet for value if checked to. But instead of checking, my opponent bets. And, given the way the hand has played, [...]
