    The Full Tilt debacle did nothing to make people dislike Russ Hamilton any less... The results are in. Last week we polled our readers as to whose WSOP Main Event championship banner should be yanked (if anyone’s). We listed the usual suspects (Russ Hamilton, Chris Ferguson, and Amarillo Slim) as well as leaving an option open for our choice: no one’s banner should be hidden. Here’s how our readers responded to Which Main Event Winners Should Have Their WSOP Banner Removed?: Russ Hamilton – 37.25% Chris Ferguson – 30.23% Amarillo Slim – 6.5% None –…

Alternate headline: HPT Overbids for Federated Sports+Gaming Assets On Tuesday, May 8th, All In Productions (AIP), parent company of Heartland Poker Tour (HPT), submitted a bid to the United States Bankruptcy Court in Maryland to buy back their company. AIP’s bid for HPT is for a total of $1.5M. According to previous court filings, Federated Sports+Gaming (FS+G) owes HPT approximately $1.9M for not completing its acquisition of the company. The $1.5M bid would basically excuse that debt. AIP’s bid also included a $100,000 offer to acquire the…

There’s been an on-going shuffling of Hamilton’s banner over the years. And while Amarillo Slim (rest in peace) never got the cover-up, some have argued he should have as well.

In doing so, Cunix broke his collar bone. Playing with his arm in a sling, Cunix gutted out a win at the WPT Jacksonville BestBet Open. In doing so, Cunix became the first person in the history of the world to actually be rewarded for a good deed. Seriously, do some good deeds and see how much you get shit on for it. We dare you.

    Rolling eyes (Photo credit: Wikipedia) Since I started dealing poker at The Poker Room NH in Hampton Falls I have met hundreds of poker players. Some of them I have met on my days off when I play poker, and others when I am dealing poker. Like all people, some days I am better at what I do than others. I think it is not a matter of trying harder but a matter of focus. I can get easily distracted so focus and paying attention to detail helps keep me on track.

    Stop Signs A well signposted junction near Mountmellick. (Photo credit: Wikipedia) Disputedsign (Photo credit: Wikipedia) One of the most important tasks that a poker dealer has is to do, is to control the action at the table. Right before everyone is dealt cards, I, the dealer, might have to ask for the small and big blinds to be posted as well as for the antes. After the cards are dealt, I, the dealer, must indicate which poker player has a decision to make and keep the other players from acting out of turn. This is a lot like herding cats, by the way. Once a player folds out of turn, it…

My first time dealing poker as a professional started on January 3, 2012, this year. I am probably their least experienced and least capable dealer but I am trying to improve each day that I go to work. Currently, I am only dealing Texas Hold’Em:  cash, tourneys. and “sit n go’s”. I soon hope to be dealing Omaha Hi/Lo and Stud Hi/Lo. Each time I sit down at a table to deal, I never know what is going to happen.

I work two days a week, Friday and Saturday, and I get to see many people coming to play at our tables. I deal at the tournament tables and also at the cash Limit Hold’Em tables. The cost to play at the $2/4 limit table is a buy-in of $20 minimum. Some of the players that I see are regulars and most of them know how to play. Occasionally we do get new players that have never played a limit hold’em cash game. There is a certain basic strategy that good players follow. Good…

    by Tom “Time” Leonard Today I’d like to delve into how one can make additional money by the way a no-limit hold’em player handles drawing hands. Many players are somewhat tentative with draws. They prefer to just check-call their opponents, hoping to complete their draw before getting feisty. That is certainly one way to play a draw, but let’s explore some advantages that come with being more aggressive. When you raise with a drawing hand on the flop, you gain a read on your opponents by their reactions. read more

The problem that you are going to run into is that there are so many poker rooms in the city it can be a challenge to choose the best one. The thing that you have to keep in mind is that your goal is to find the best poker room for your needs. The first thing that you have to think about when you are considering which is the best poker room in Las Vegas is just what you are looking for in a room. After all a player that has never played before is probably not going to want to play in the same room as a professional player.

  • How changing gears can help your poker game

    Kiki
    2 Sep 2011 | 5:16 pm
    When you are driving a car with a manual gearbox, it is necessary to change gears so you will have enough power from the engine and cruise at your desired speed. You just cannot stick to a single gear since your car will be ineffective and you will have some problems along the way. Driving your car is similar to how you play the game of poker. It is a good practice to change gears when playing poker and later your game. Varying your style of play will help you adapt to the dynamics of the game. Changing gears means you trying to be unpredictable by deviating from your usual kind of game.

    Knowing how to play when you are in position in deep stacked hold’em poker cash games is crucial if you don’t want to go home a sorry loser. Yes, position is still key like in any other round of poker but during deep stacked games, you will be faced with more occasions of fairly big bets during the turn and the river. It will be futile to make a big bet call when you are not in a good position. Let us say you are holding an off suit A-J and is being three bet by an aggressive player pre-flop. What should you do? In case you are in a deep 100 big blind then you can consider calling it and…

    A tight table can be very good playing grounds for a poker player who can adjust his strategy appropriately. If you are playing against tight players you need to adjust several areas of your game. First you need to understand what a tight poker table is. Tight players are those who only play a few hands before the flop. When they play what they have they will usually raise since you can count that they have strong cards. They also rarely easily give up when they play what they have since they have waited for a while for a good hand. Tight players still have different styles of play but it is…

Metal chips also contain plastic. They weigh about the same as clay poker chips. They are considered to be incredibly durable. It comes as no surprise that plastic poker chips are both insubstantial and significantly less expensive. They are ideal for more casual games, especially if you tend…

At best, the Maeryll was a mastless motorized skiff, fifteen feet long and perhaps two feet wide, painted sea green with bright red lettering. Twin outriggers were supposed to give the craft added stability, but a glance at a major crack in the left outrigger’s front strut -- a crack filled with rubber cement and held together by twine -- left me seriously doubting the…

    12 Dec 2011 | 12:01 pm
    Twelve miles were almost complete and I was running the best half marathon of my life. That's kind of a joke - it was only my 2nd and the odds were with me for it to be my best. Then I felt them coming. Cramps. In both of my calves. Not the entire muscle, but small strands of fibres near the center of the back of my lower leg. "No, not now," I thought, "Not now."It was 4pm on Sunday, December 4th, and I was sitting at a 2/5 NL game at the Aria casino. I'd been in Vegas for about a day and a half and had perhaps 1 beer and 2 glasses of wine. I was as relaxed as I could be before a race for…

  • Exercise - Some Thoughts

    8 Dec 2011 | 3:59 pm
    I was honored last weekend to be part of a group of runners who dedicated their time and effort to complete the Las Vegas half marathon with me. Many of these folks were running the longest they'd ever run before on that day and they all finished. One of the more common topics of conversation that I overheard afterwards was how being there to cheer on others had motivated them to either resume or begin training themselves. That's outstanding.So, if I may be so bold, let me relay a few tips to those of you considering beginning a training program, be it running or simply a general fitness…

After all, it’s the bigger stacks who aren’t constantly fearing for their tourney life, and they can bully other players around more easily. But if you play enough poker tournaments, you’re going to be in a lot of short stack situations – especially in turbos. However, there is some silver lining in being shortstacked in turbos, and it comes through fold equity.What is Fold Equity?The simple definition of fold equity is the value you get from situations where your raise could make somebody fold.

    Grundy
    12 May 2012 | 7:13 am
    I’ve always liked bid poker for the new strategy element it brings to the game. The game starts with an ante followed by the deal–five cards down to each player. Players review their hands and the dealer reveals one card in the center of the table. The player left of the dealer has the option of placing a bid on the card or passing. Action moves to left with each subsequent player either raising the bid or passing. Once all but one player has passed, that player pays his bid to the pot and takes the won card. He then discards to keep his card count at five. The same process…

    There is one point in every tournament when every player should adjust their play. It is when the money is almost within grasp and the bubble boy (or girl) is about to be crowned. Most tighten up, some bet more freely, all have a number on their mind. The number of how many players are left. On a micro-scale, we can deal with the easy numbers. My favorite games are single-table tournaments with the top three places paying out. (These are also known by the somewhat counter-intuitive name sit-n-goes. Once you “sit” you can’t “go” until the game is over.) The bubble here is fourth…

    Tells are the little ticks people have that leak information; the more we can identify, the more we can both hide and exploit that all-important info. I will break them down right here, one by one. The first tell to which I’ve turned my attention are shaky hands. It is a common misconception that shaky hands are a sign of fear. Players do the fear math and assume Mr. Shaky has a weak hand. Therefore, any bet is a bluff. The opposite is likely true. Players never make the decision to bluff when scared. True, they may become scared if they believe you may call their bluff, but that is after…

  • The Law of Averages

    Grundy
    13 Apr 2012 | 8:29 am
    The law of averages is often quoted for an optimistic view of a player’s future. When applied to poker, it basically says that after a string of bad beats or weak hands, you are due a lucky break or strong hand. This positive luck supposedly makes up for the negative luck (unluck?) and maintains average luck. I’m all for optimism, but lets be a realist here. The law of averages is useless with small samples. If your memory alone can keep track of your poker hands, it is a small sample size. If you work with the statistics of months of quantified luck (I call this profits and losses)…

The premise is that very few things in life are certain, so we should consider our probability in being correct rather than assuming absolute knowledge or ignorance. The writer make a great case why we should think of these probabiliies as odds rather than the traditional percentages. Here is a great refresher on odds from the article: Let’s have a quick refresher on what “odds” are. We all know what a probability is (or at least, we’re familiar with the term!).

  • Bad Beat Jackpots: A Gamble Worth Taking?

    Bad beat jackpots are one of the more hotly debated topics in the poker community.  With a long history in live poker rooms, a dedicated following among certain parts of the online poker community and prizes that often reach into the hundreds of thousands – and occasionally millions – of dollars, it’s not hard to see why bad beat jackpots garner so much attention. What might be tougher to see is the true value in chasing a bad beat jackpot, and whether the mind-warping prizes amounts justify the extra cost.  But before we can get to that point, we first need to explain…

Before we get into that topic, however, some readers may be wondering exactly what POLi is.  Much like Neteller or MoneyBookers, POLi is an online wallet that allows you to take funds from a variety of source –  including credit cards and bank account –  and send those funds to a spectrum of merchants, including many top online casinos and poker rooms.

IP, I usually raise if bet into, and bet if checked to, again, unless I have an agro that I think will often c/r on a flop with say an A, and if I check behind I am pretty sure he reps the A then I can raise here as well.

    Bonus codes have been a part of the online poker industry for many years. There are two types of poker bonus code. The first is a room issued bonus code that you may find on the poker room’s web site or in a newsletter. The second is a bonus code issued by the poker site to an affiliate, like BonusCodePoker.com. Obviously the first type of bonus code is not going to help you get something special. These are generic codes that can be used by anyone and only provide the standard bonus offer. The other type can also provide the standard bonus so you still have to do a little research in…

    Few people play their first Texas Hold’em game at a Vegas casino. For most people it’s either at a social gathering or a friend’s basement tournament. Once you start getting pretty good, you may start hitting casinos and even trying to go professional.

    There is no question that whoever has the bigger stack of chips has an advantage. Once one player has a significant amount of chips compared to the others, he can play much more loosely without fear of making a mistake and going bankrupt for the rest of the game. Even more fun than that, the dominant chip player can become a mafia bully type who raises $500 on a hand that is barely worth a $20 double blind. When this happens, the rest of the table will fold, while grudgingly knowing that they could have beat him if he didn’t have such a cash advantage. This is called “buying the pot,”…

    Learning poker tells is a very fun aspect of mastering poker. It gets away from some of the mundane technical strategic points and makes the game a lot more human. It becomes a challenge of psychological warfare and intimidation instead of just numbers and statistics. Plus, poker stories are far more interesting when tells are involved. You may have heard one like this: “I had three Queens and was just about to fold on the river… when I saw Joey raise an eyebrow. I knew he had just shown his tell…” Here are three tells that are very common in both poker and everyday life. You’re…

In more than a century of pro sports in North America only 4 teams have ever accomplished the task – three in hockey, one in baseball, and none in the NBA. So yeah, it’s rare. The 3-1 comeback is also a rare treat for sports fans. Hockey has seen the feat accomplished 23 times, baseball 10 times, and basketball just 8. What…

    The game of roulette is pure chance, so the roulette strategy that is most effective is a plan that takes into account the odds of each spin. Since you do not touch the wheel or the ball, there is not much to do for the better in terms of counting or movement. Pure roulette strategy has more to do with watching the wheel and memorizing odds than anything else. The Law of Averages Most players have a blackjack strategy that relies on the law of averages. Even though probability states that there is an equal chance of black or red every single time the wheel is spun, the law of averages states…
