Resisting The Raising Reflex In No-Limit Hold’em
Date: Wed, May 28, 2008
No doubt you’ve heard from many a person that the key to poker is never to call. Raise or fold. If you can’t raise, throw it away. It’s perhaps useful advice for a casual player who hasn’t yet seen how powerful aggression can be. But I think it’s also very limiting advice, and it completely fails [...]
Checking With A Chip
Date: Sat, May 24, 2008
I’m taking a little mini-vacation this week, so I don’t have a full-length post for you today. But I figured I’d toss out a quick little concept that Dusty Schmidt (Leatherass) mentioned recently in a Stoxpoker video. I don’t remember what he called it, but I call the play checking with a chip. The idea is [...]

Changes At Noted Poker Authority
Date: Fri, May 16, 2008
My original vision for this site was that it would be free to read. I always intended to make money from it, but I wanted that money to come from advertising, from donations, and from other sources, not from my readers. For a year and a half I’ve been delighted with how that free-to-read model [...]
