Going hand and hand with poker table selection is seat selection. You want to have position over the loose players, so try and sit just to their left. They’re going to be raising and re-raising you and being on their left will allow you to control the action and exploit them.
If they come out raising, you can immediately 3 bet if you have a pretty good hand, which will force everyone else out, unless they have a premium hand. [...]
Some people might think Mac poker news is lame. Well, at least for non Mac users. Samuel L. Jackson disagrees!
In poker, the nuts is a term for the best possible hand you can have in a given situation. John Juanda, a pro from Full Tilt Poker, explains that there’s no ’set’ way to play your nut poker hands.
“It depends on what you think your opponent has, if you think he’s on a draw then you might as well bet and try to charge him a price to make his draw. If you think he has very strong [...]
In July I reported that Bodog Poker was developing a Mac version that should be coming out very soon. They were supposed to have it out by the end of August, but I just got word that it’s going to be pushed back a bit longer.
The software manager who was in charge of the Mac Bodog version is no longer working for them. This shouldn’t bring the project to a complete halt, but it’s definitely going to be [...]
This years World Series of Poker and $12,000,000 winner, Jamie Gold, was often seen scarfing down bowls of blueberries at the final table. They weren’t cooked or specially prepared, just plain blueberries.
During the post tournament interview, Norman Chad asked Jamie Gold about his blueberry obsession. Gold Passionately explained that blueberries were the best type of brain food, and that he couldn’t have won without them. He was completely serious, with an attitude like, ‘come [...]
You can watch TV poker for entertainment, but don’t develop your poker strategy from the hands you see on TV. They’re only showing a few monster hands that may have occurred over a 6+ hour period, and compressing it into a one hour show.
You may see someone lose a big pot after they raised six five off-suite into pocket aces, and they’ll make it seem like he’s a donk. But what you don’t see is all the small pots [...]
This is one of those things that after you get, you wonder how you ever lived without it. The resolution of a monitor determines how many pixels are packed into the screen, so the higher you go, the more screen space you’ll have. Poker tables for online poker rooms are almost always 800×600, which makes a 1600×1200 monitor the perfect size for running four poker tables without any overlap.
The most popular monitor for online poker is the 1600×1200 21″ dell [...]
This tip is obvious, but still it can’t be said enough. If you feel yourself getting frustrated, or you’re tired, drunk, frustrated, depressed, or whatever, just don’t play poker. It only takes a few hours to wipe out months of patience and hard work.
Table selection is a huge aspect of poker. Bigger then most people think. Most online poker rooms display table statistics in the lobby, like average players and players seeing the flop, which makes finding a good table a lot easier.
At low to mid limit poker tables you should look for tables with the highest average pot and the most players per flop. That’s always a good sign that there are some wild players at the table giving good action.
At [...]
Full Tilt Poker (Mac poker site) just added some high stakes tables… High Stakes.
They increased their limit games up to $500/$1,000 for Hold’em and Stud H/L, and $1000/$2000 in Omaha H/L and Stud. They also added $100/$200 and $200/$400 pot limit Omaha tables. You won’t find stakes higher then this anywhere else online, and probably not live either.
It’s 5:30am est. here, and there’s a ton of action at the high limit tables on Full Tilt Poker. The $200/$400 [...]
