Becoming a Student Pt Three

Monday, March 8th, 2010

In the last two sections we talked about expanding your poker online games and using the notes feature. In this section, we’re going to talk about freeroll hunting and bonus hunting. If you’re a decent online poker player, then you’ll be able to make quite a bit of money just from freerolling, rakebacks, and bonus hunting. When you sign up on a site, you generally get an offer to get a match bonus for up to x% of your initial deposit, and many sites are trying to get these players to keep playing so they’re offering initial deposit bonus freerolls for new depositors. You, as the up and coming online poker phenom, are going to take advantage of this. If you hunt hard enough you can find a schedule of freerolls and bonuses. For the bonuses I recommend the site bonuswhores.com as they have all the best bonuses available and are constantly updating. For the freerolls and big guaranteed tournaments, you should check out freerollsmonitor.com since they include all the freerolls that are coming up within the next hour. If you bonus hunt and clear your bonuses, and start playing and winning the freerolls, you’ll soon start to notice that you’re bankroll is doubling pretty quickly. And when this happens, you’ll know you’ve moved into that “beyond amateur” stage. Think about it, if you get a 110% bonus match up to 600 dollar and you invest 600 and clear your bonus, you just got a free 660 dollars. Not a bad deal in my opinion.

Daily Dollar Bust-Out

Friday, January 29th, 2010

I was short stacked, but running deep in Full Tilt Poker’s Daily Dollar tournament. In a poker tournament of nearly 10,000 people, we were down to the final 400 or so.

I had been making small opening bets and attempting to play post-flop online poker a little bit instead of just playing shove-fold poker. When the blinds were 1000/2000 I raised in middle position to 5,000 and the big blind called. I held pocket 10s and the flop came out K-10-4 rainbow. The BB checked I bet 8,000 and the BB then shoved. I call with my set and he shows QJ for an open ender, which he hits on the river, knocking my down to only a few blinds. I double a couple of times and then am dealt 99 under the gun. The blinds were now 1500/3000.

I only had 28,000. Technically I should be shoving with this hand UTG. I could theoretically limp and shove to any raise, or see a cheap flop. Instead I decided to again make a small opening raise. I bet 8,000, leaving me with 20,000 behind.

A guy with a huge stack of about 200,000 chips calls my bet.

Flop is J-8-3.

This is a pretty good flop for me. I’m only beaten by the jack or possibly a hidden set.

I shove 20k which was about the size of the pot. He calls with A-8, second pair, and turns an Ace.

I’m out in 315th place for $4.20, 4x my buy-in. That’s about a dollar an hour. Maybe I’ll have a better time playing poker online.

Poker with Benefits

Friday, January 15th, 2010

If you thought this was going to be some kind of innuendo based article, sorr to disappoint. The benefits I’m talking about here are real benefits, and the realization of these benefits is coming straight from the game we love the most, Texas Hold ‘Em poker. Don Cheadle, star of the movie “Hotel Rwanda,” recently traveled to Darfur, a strained region in the Sudan where several have been killed, and many more rendered homeless in countless acts of genocidal violence. Upon seeing this for himself first hand Cheadle has decided to up the stakes a bit in the form of his poker game. Cheadle, Annie Duke (professional poker player), and their friend Norman Epstein founded a group called Ante up for Africa in 2006, hoping to raise money as well as awareness about the issues going on in Sudan and other distressed regions of Africa. At first the trio had small hopes for their vegabond style fundraiser, maybe a small celebrity game where they raise 20-30k with one tournament or so. In actuality, the group’s first charitable fund tally ended up being something to the tune of 700,000 dollars. When asked about the allure of the event, Annie Duke had this to say: Everybody wants to give, but they also want value in return for their time. “Trying to beat professional poker player or a star athlete in a game of cards is a better tool [for raising charitable funds] than boring speeches at a dinner,” she says. Sure the images may seem awkward when juxtaposed. Several wealthy celebrities and poker players sitting around and laughing it up while several hundred thousand have been displaced halfway across the world and are living a life of subsistence farming just to get by doesn’t seem like a fair deal. But just as we deal with the cards we’re dealt on the table, as do we deal with the cards we’re dealt in life. While Ante up for Africa may not be able to totally fix the situation in Sudan, the 2.5 million they’ve raised to date sure isn’t hurting the effort.

Keep Your Hand to Yourself

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

When you are playing in a deep-stack online poker tournament, you can expect to sit with the same players for an extended period of time, especially during the early stages of play. That means you will have time to observe the other players and they in turn can watch you to see if you give off any signals about your hand.

Poker players must work very hard to keep from giving any reliable information about their hands to opponents. There are several ways you can disguise your starting hands and make it nearly impossible to read you intentions.

One way to do this is to simply not look at your hand until it’s actually your turn to act. If you don’t know what your cards are, you can’t give off any information ahead of time about whether you’ll fold, call or raise.

Another way to disguise your hands is to always open with the same raise amount – perhaps 3x the big blind, a fairly standard raise – whether you’re holding Aces or suited connectors or just a naked bluff. Once you get past the flop, continue with standard bets, such as three-quarters of the pot. By adhering to standard raises, you will not give off the strength of your hand.

These strategies work well in cash games and in deep-stack online poker tournaments. Once you get to the later stages of a tournament, your betting strategy will have to change and be adapted to hand, position and your opponents. Disguising your hands consistently with formulaic betting during the early stages will help advance you to the later stage of the tournament.

Online Poker Glossary: Don’t Play The Game Until You Learn The Terms

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

Today, online poker games are widespread among the youth of the world. There is no need to go a casino for gambling, just sit in front of your computer, and play with just your fingers and your keyboard. This can be very alluring to those who are not afraid of today’s technology.

Playing online poker can be really fun, even a new way to make money as well as to lose money. It is wise for everyone to start by playing the free sites and then moving, as you skill increases, to the pay to play sites. These sites often offer a bonus for signing up, if the form of actual cash. This is done to entice you to start playing and later adding your own cash to the site.

Before playing online poker, it is advisable, that you read an online poker glossary as it is very important to know the terms of the game before you play. Examples of the information that you might find in an online poker glossary are definitions of common poker terms, such as fold, dealer and ante. The glossary might also have rules to common poker games, for example, texas hold em and 5 card stud.

A good online poker glossary will have all the words and games in alphabetical order, much like the dictionary. This is a big help to a new player, as it shows the codes and the instructions that you have to follow or know at the time of playing online poker game.

A good poker site will offer at the very least a generic online poker glossary for the players that are new to the game. Before you decide which site you are interested in playing at, check to see if they have included this valuable information for you. If they have chosen to exclude this information, it might be best to pass up the site, as they may not be user friendly for a novice player.

You might also be wise to purchase a paper copy of a poker glossary. While it may seem a bit old fashioned to use a book to help you with online poker, it will allow you the opportunity to look up needed information with out having to mess with switching between screens and possibly hitting the wrong key, which could make you loose the hand, or worse, bet higher.

Whatever method you choose to read an online poker glossary, be sure to take advantage of this invaluable resource. It could make the difference between winning and losing an important hand.
