Raise (Push) or Fold as –EV I played live last night! (first time in months) It was dealer’s choice but a thought came to mind that I think is often misunderstood in NLHE as well. The situation is that you flop a good but not great hand in a multi-way pot, you’re faced with a bet and there are people to act behind you. I got into a hand that was 5-6 handed on the flop. The pot was probably 20

Interesting (to me) poker topic I’ve been a little dry on the posts because there just hasn’t been much interesting thoughts circulating my brain lately about the subject. I’ve played a bit. I’ve basically broken even at 3/6 NL 6-handed with a little 5/10 NL mixed in. I haven’t played in a long time so I’m letting the rust fall off before I make a spectacular push towards a Phil Ivey sized

I found a decent poker article. Josh Arieh wrote about the art of Poker Bullshit. It is very similar to my bluffing chapter in the sense that it emphasizes the fact that your lie has to make sense - it has to be believable and consistent with your table image. You can't expect people to just automatically fold whenever you make a big bet on the river. You've got to consider the story you're

Time flies... ...when you're not playing poker. Life has been good. Work killed me for a couple weeks but I'm back to normal working hours again. I hurt my back which doesn't bode well for long sessions sitting in a chair in front of a computer, but I'll try. I'm going to try to get back on and run some tournaments this week/weekend. I never pulled money off of the sites so their balances are

Prop bets Some prop bets to think about next time you hit up your local poker room. You probably all know the obvious props: pick a card or two or three and get paid when it hits the flop, pick suits, etc. Here are a few more: Play the lowest stakes NLHE game and put $500 on who can win a pot at showdown with the worst ranked preflop hand. The $500 is important because it is more than the

I’m a walking billboard for illegal money transferring I’ve been to a number of live events for various poker sites. I’ve been given free clothes at every visit. When I went out to the WSOP I also collected some more shirts from all the poker room suites. I have a lot of t-shirts! I have a dozen poker hats. I also have 3-4 of poker site golf shirts. I also have a Stars jersey, jacket, button-up

Sting operation There is a big poker game where a lot of people will be that are all outlaws. The US government has worked with Harrah's to put together something named "The World Series Of Poker (WSOP)" It is a front for the biggest UIGEA sting operation ever executed. The US government is hoping to get all the biggest names in illegal online money transferring in the same room at the same time

I was listening to my ear phones today at work with the noise canceling turned on. I had the music turned up pretty loud and I was in the zone for what I was doing on my computer screen. Then all of a sudden a dude yells from over my right shoulder. I jumped and turned around to see who it was in a split second reaction. As it turned out, it was a guy yelling as a part of the song and it was

So who is the idiot know? When the UIGEA passed (via unethical piggy-backing), I took caution and pulled some money from the dozen sites I had going on. I wanted to consolidate to only 4 places: PokerStars, FullTiltPoker, UB and Neteller. In fact, I didn't want too much money in the poker sites themselves because I was thinking that they'd be the first to react and I'd want access to my money. I
