Getting away from AK in the early stages. PDF Print E-mail

A forum posted hand that discusses the scenario of folding big slick, even when it hits the flop. This hand took place (earlier tonight) about 4 hands into this 2 table, $10, 18 player sng tournament. Against one player, I might have let it ride, but when the re-raise and re-raise after my flop bet came, I decided I was either....

What is a blocking bet? (VIDEO) PDF Print E-mail

A blocking bet is used when you think you might have the best hand after the river card, but you are not entirely sure.  A blocking is usually made against a single opponent, when you are out of position so that after the river card is turned over, you are first to act. Even though being out of position is normally a disadvantage, by putting in a blocking bet here, you are actually negating your opponent’s positional advantage.

Tournament Bankroll Strategy PDF Print E-mail
A forum member rambles about his tournament bankroll strategy: Time to get back in the online game. I backed off when I started back up in school, but now that I realize how easy even upper division business stuff is, I think I can get to work. The key for me is to remain sharp mentally. I have fared well playing small stakes limit cash and then got into tournaments and did well with the $4 180s on Stars.

Final Table TAG Style PDF Print E-mail
If you are like me, then you play  a lot of a multi-table sit and go tournaments online.  They are really great in terms of keeping your time spent in tournaments confined to segments, that don't intrude on as much of your time as the open multi-table tournaments. There have been many times when I wanted to play a tournament by only had maybe three hours maximum.  In that sense, I look to the 90 seat or 180 seat sit and go tournaments that you can find at poker stars and full tilt poker.

Negreanu reads Antill at the WSOP PDF Print E-mail

This hand could easily be called the battle of the lags!  Pre-flop there’s a raise and reraise with two callers and the best hand is pocket 9’s.  Going to the flop we have  Daniel with the best hand, 99, followed by Antill with 44, Stucke has KTo, and Jones with 72h.  The BB is 600 and Daniel has made it 2200 to play so the only player with odds to make the call here is Antil with the implied odds to set mine.

The Five Stages of a Poker Tournament PDF Print E-mail
You may be confused about this title. After all the likes of Harrington, Gordon, Hellmuth, Duke, and even Vorhaus have reinforced through numerous writings the idea that there are three stages to a tournament. Maybe they believe that, but I really think they may be holding back the goods. I will tell you some of the goods right here and now. Three stages to a tournament is far too simplistic and none of these writers really play by that belief either, whether they believe it or not.
