Think back to a time when you knew very little about how to play poker well. Some of you may not have to stretch the imagination very far. You went to the casino. You chased big hands, you checked back value hands, you had no idea what your opponents had. What have you learned since [...]

Just after Black Friday I had a chat with a friend of mine who plays live no-limit in Las Vegas casinos. “You know this is going to kill our games,” he said. “The internet kids are all going to be taking every other seat, and no one’s going to beat the rake.” It took half [...]
Last issue I wrote about ways you can run bad at poker. Whether you lose to a one-outter on the river or you don’t hit a flop for five hours, running bad happens to the best of us. But most small stakes players do something terrible that makes their bad runs even worse. They play [...]
You just played four hours of $1-$2 no-limit hold’em, and you lost $300. Did you play badly? Or did you just run bad? As you might imagine, it was probably a bit of both. After a session, it can be difficult to tease out the play bad from the run bad. If you want to [...]

The last couple of issues I’ve been working backwards, offering four tips for playing the river and then four tips for playing the turn. This issue it’s time to talk about playing the flop. The cliche about the flop is that it’s the turning point of the hand, since it’s where more than half of [...]
The turn is often the betting round in a no-limit hand where the first big bets come out. Flop bets are usually small enough that you can call with a speculative holding and a wait-and-see strategy. On the turn, unless people are making undersized bets, playing to wait-and-see is too expensive. Not only are turn [...]
I think the average $1-$2 and $2-$5 live no-limit player plays worse on the river than on any other street. Partly this is because the bets on the river are large, so mistakes get magnified. But it’s also because most players approach river play with a philosophy that is fundamentally flawed. Most players are far [...]
