Haha somebody actually sent me this article explaining me how poker works. Try reading it, I wonder if you learn something… OR NOT!
- Poker rules vary with each game in which newcomers should learn No Limit poker rules before joining tournaments or other poker games online. The rules are prepared so that you [...]
I’m running cold. In the last 3 days I’ve had a guy pull a ONE-OUTER on me to make a STRAIGHT FLUSH against my nut flush. I’ve lost flush over flush big pots twice with a jack high flush and a queen high flush, twice with only 3 flushcards on the board. Lost set over [...]

I’ll give you the rundown of a hand I almost cried about.
I have AK suited under the gun and I raise 4BB. I flop the nuts with QJT with two of my suit too so I’m on the royal draw on a jellyroll. I bet out knowing one guy behind me is a [...]
Twice a month I sit down in the restaurant of the casino I usually play at with a friend I met at the blackjack tables and now plays in the same poker room on a regular basis to talk poker. We discuss our results and talk about key losing and winning hands and about how [...]
Like every poker player, I dread the days on which I know I play bad, or on which I realize afterwards I was tilting without actually realizing it, thus losing way too much money due to donkeyplay.

I ate a steak at the poker table today, and I wish I hadn’t. Let me tell you a painful story:

… without a really strong hand …
You might get called with nine high, obviously making two pair…
Final table of a $100 SnG. Bleh. Luckily I had him covered, but as you can see not by much.
Pokernews always picks the right players to interview. This talk they’ve had with Liz Lieu, “The Poker Diva”, on a break of the APPT. She makes sense, talking about tightening up as a relative shortstack close to the bubble…
I know theory says to play aggressive when people tighten up close to the money, but I [...]
I played 3 Multi-table-tournaments yesterday, simultaneously. I’ve been playing at Full Tilt Poker for a couple weeks now, mostly in the hopes of being able to do some games against the likes of Phil Ivey or Mike The Mouth Matusow — but enjoying the level of play there in general too…
Until yesterday. I don’t mind [...]
A great Full Tilt Poker ad sure to please all fans of Mike “The Mouth” Matusow — the awesome thing is: Mike actually cooperated!
“Only a donkey would make that call”
AWESOME.
