Poker and Boxing Have More In Common Than You Think

Date: Tue, Sep 15, 2009 Professional Internet Live Tournament

Boxing metaphors are the definition of cliché. But this, of course, is because the wisdom of boxing can be so readily transferred to almost any other human endeavour—poker no less. I suppose the most transferable concept is that of ‘box the fighter, fight the boxer.’ In the poker world the ‘fighter’ is [...]

Explaining your poker double life to ‘er indoors

Date: Tue, Sep 15, 2009 Professional Internet Live Tournament

We all have to face it. At some time or another, a loved one will start to ask. Where do you go to till 5 in the morning? Why can’t I ever use the computer? Why is a lot of your money in a separate bank account located in Kahnawake? There comes a time when [...]

Why Your Opponent’s Reaction at Showdown is Almost As Important As Their Cards

Date: Mon, Sep 14, 2009 Professional Internet Live Tournament

The showdown is the ultimate time to gather information on your opposition. In this critical moment, their guard is the most likely to be down. Their true emotions, thoughts, and intentions are most likely to be observed in these fleeting moments. Their reaction is sure to speak volumes, much more than their cards. You hit [...]

Folding Away My Vacation – Stephen Beauregard

Date: Fri, Sep 11, 2009 Professional Internet Live Tournament

”Nice hand,” I said, with all of the sincerity of Bill Clinton speaking at an abstinence seminar. The fish with all of the chips in the number 1 seat had just busted my pocket aces with his…..3/4 off suit. I guess he called my pre-flop raise because he had position. Those poker gods sure have one [...]

Pip It Up – Jordan ‘Case Ace’ Richmond

Date: Thu, Sep 10, 2009 Professional Internet Live Tournament

Starting Hands and Point Counting in Hold’em. This article was inspired by a conversation I had with a friend of mine who had no idea what starting hand requirements were. He knew to play super tight at a full table, waiting for big pairs and the ever-fickle Ace-King. Besides that he had very little [...]

£300 PLO Festival Action – Gabriel Forde

Date: Tue, Sep 8, 2009 Professional Internet Live Tournament

The 300 PLO unfortunately didn’t get many runners and with 10,000 chips and 25 minute clock, it was going to be a quick affair. I lost a few pots early where I raised pre, got 2 callers, bet the flop, got called, and had to fold to turn bets. I win a big pot with 39JQ on [...]

When Your Body Betrays You- Roger Kirkham

Date: Tue, Sep 8, 2009 Professional Internet Live Tournament

A “tell” is some quirk or gesture or sign that shows you the kind of hand an opponent is really holding, rather than pretending to hold. Tells, some people maintain, are a sort of supernatural 6th sense that enables great players to play hands as if their opponents’ cards were face up. No poker film is [...]

You Say ‘Goodbye’ and I say ‘Hi/Lo’- Scott Crousillac

Date: Mon, Sep 7, 2009 Professional Internet Live Tournament

I’m fortunate enough to be associated with a pretty close-knit group of poker players here in Baton Rouge that are interested in broadening their poker horizons by playing several different forms of poker in our cash games. And while I’ve played many of these games for a few years now, I’ve never played them for [...]

Lots Of Moves in the £200 NLHE Festival Event – Gabriel Forde

Date: Fri, Sep 4, 2009 Professional Internet Live Tournament

I played the £200 NLH event on Wednesday. A new structure without antes and with a 25 minute clock. It suited me well, even though I prefer antes. A guy I have not seen before folds his hand to a re-raise on the flop commenting that it is too early to gamble. Robert Lim comments openly [...]

Don’t Give Up The Ship – Dave Scharf

Date: Fri, Sep 4, 2009 Professional Internet Live Tournament

Your meticulous records show that you have been a winning poker player, consistently, for the past year. Yet, you have this persistent feeling [...]

Playing The Middle Pocket Pair – Andrew Edge

Date: Thu, Sep 3, 2009 Professional Internet Live Tournament

So, you look down and find those scary two cards. You guessed it: the dreadful two cards that make you a mid-pocket pair in hand—yep, those tricky to play pocket sevens, eights, nines, and tens. But shoot, shouldn’t you be happy about being dealt such hands? I suppose that’s true (they’re good starters, after all), [...]

Ed Roger – The Philosophy of Tilt

Date: Tue, Sep 1, 2009 Professional Internet Live Tournament

I haven’t been playing much poker on my travels but this certainly hasn’t stopped me thinking about the game. As well as discussing general strategy, I’ve always enjoyed looking at mindset and at areas in which I can improve. Tilt is such a huge part of poker and although anyone reading this will recognise it; [...]
