Back In The Saddle For The First Time

Date: Wed, Feb 27, 2008

I used to hate online poker. Several years ago, I played limit hold’em 50 hours a week. And virtually every one of those hours was spent at a casino in a live game. Some of my friends would say I was an idiot for playing only at a casino when I could have made 5-10x [...]

When To Fire A Second Barrel In No-Limit Hold’em

Date: Thu, Feb 21, 2008

You raise preflop, and one player calls. The flop misses you. Your opponent checks, and you bet. Your opponent calls. The turn misses you. Or maybe it gives you a draw. Or maybe it gives you a weak made hand. Your opponent checks. Do you bet, or do you check? If you bet, that’s called [...]

Date: Mon, Feb 18, 2008

If your opponents are uncertain about your holding and fear the hands you could have, you can steal a lot of pots. And if they are surprised by what you have when you get all-in, you can win some [...]

Hand Discussion #11: My Thoughts

Date: Fri, Feb 15, 2008

The comments were great on this blind versus blind no-limit hand. To recap, here’s the action so far: It’s a $0.50-$1 game, and the villain has $109 (and I have him covered). Everyone folds to me in the small blind, and I make it $3.50 to go with A 5 . The big blind [...]

Selective Aggression

Date: Sat, Feb 9, 2008

Playing aggressively isn’t natural. Consequently, students of the game are often trying to work in more aggression. It’s a good thing, with the usual caveat that they should use “selective” aggression. But what does “selective” mean, exactly? What situations do you select? A lot of players who are trying to become more aggressive instinctively pick exactly [...]
