Poker TV

Auto Date Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

I have long been one of those people that complained that there are too many online poker shows on TV. Not that I don’t enjoy watching poker online on TV. I remember watching broadcasts of the U.S. World Championships late night on ESPN, before the advent of the hole cam, when the announcers had to guess what hands the players had. And certainly, Chris Moneymakers amazing run in the 2003 World Series of Poker was exciting television. But there’s just way too many poker shows on TV now, and they’re all virtually the same.

That said, I came across an interesting poker show that at least tries to dome some different and interesting. High stakes Poker has a unique format, as it doesn’t take place in a tournament setting, but rather is just a high stakes cash game among poker pros. It also has a number of well-known internet players, such as Tom Dwan, as regulars. The show has a more casual feel, with players making side wagers and changing rules as they go along. If you ever see it on TV, it’s worth a watch. You may pick up some tricks for when you sign up for Everest Poker telecharger.

The Popularity of Poker

Auto Date Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

A lot of people are wondering if we will start seeing a “renaissance” of sorts in the poker online world, with the field size of tournaments getting smaller and pros winning most of the events. Now certainly, even if the supposed “poker online boom” is over, the game is still popular enough that tournaments at rooms like Everest Poker will never go back down to the size they were in the 1970’s, oe even 1995 when there were 273 entrants in the World Series of Poker main event. But I think the second point, about more pros winning the big events rather than amateurs, may start to happen again. Since 2002, when Robert Varkonyi, every WSOP winner has been an amateur, or at least semi-amateur. But I think as the size of tournaments shrinks a bit to more reasonable levels, there will be more pros winning major events. Certainly, the first WSOP main event that a big time name, such as Daniel Negreneau or Phil Ivey, wins it will be a big story. I for one am pulling for something like that to happen. It will always make televised poker that much more exciting. I know I would be watching.

Feeler Bets in Tourneys vs Cash Games

Auto Date Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

Feeler Bets in Tourneys vs Cash Games By B. Butler A commonly employed betting strategy particularly when betting on the flop or turn is to fire a little “feeler” bet out into a pot in order to give your poker opponent something to respond to. Rather than betting large or checking, a feeler bet forces the pokeropponent to make a decisive action: call, raise, or fold, thereby allowing information to be revealed about the nature of their hand. The nature of this kind of poker online betting, though, has a very different implication in tournament and cash game poker. Because in cash games the reloading is unlimited in potential, feeler bets mean less within the economy of chips. You can always respond to feeler bets in large ways and have less long term effects, beyond losing money on that one hand. In tournaments, however, where the amount of chips is limited, every chip is weighed a little heavier, making feeler bets often a more black and white kind of response. Players may be less willing to toss little feeler calls than they are to either raise and commit or fold, making your feeler work more the way it is supposed to. Therefore, using feeler bets in controlled tourney situations seems more appropriate, whereas in cash games they might be just fodder for the sharks.

Will Average Poker Playing Get Casino Comps?

Auto Date Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

The biggest draw of playing poker in a brick and mortar casino is the casino comps. It is basically free money that a frequent poker online player can earn by using their player account whenever they plug into their machine. Many of the players who hold casino accounts are video poker players, who use the game to earn points to their account. These accounts can then be exchanged for free perks from the casino, like complimentary rooms at the hotel, or discounts at the food court. In theory, the amount of points you earn on your player account is linked to the amount of money you spend at the table. However, this does not hold true for video poker. Video poker has a lower house edge than other casino games, so the casino will seek those few points out to you very slowly. The video poker players who get the good comps are either really good players who funnel a lot of money into the casino, or really bad players who don’t take anything out. The average player is left out in the cod. If you are a decidedly average poker player, you need to wrap your head around the idea that you will not get a high amount of casino comps. Console yourself with the idea that you can walk away with money from the pot, which is way better than a discount on the buffet anyway.

Playing AK when You Connect

Auto Date Thursday, February 11th, 2010

The intended expectation of any poker online player who puts his chips in a pot preflop with AK is that on the flop will come an ace or a king. Outside flopping a straight or flush, most poker people want to see their top pair top kicker come through. Otherwise you are dealing with the top unpaired hand, which can also often be the best hand, but generally you’d like to connect. Playing AK even when you connect, though, can also get the wrong headed poker player into trouble. Ultimately this hand, barring those draws, is topping out at one pair, a pair that certainly looks good against most hands, but can seem strong enough to lock you into pots against a preflop AA KK or worse, flopped sets. Holding top pair top kicker against a set is a classic way to go broke, and so acting with caution when the right kind of player is being aggressive against you and all you hold is that improved AK is important to keeping yourself from going broke in spots where it seems you’re ahead but you aren’t. Knowing when to push the connected ace king to the hilt and when to relax on it takes skill and finesse, and most of all a will to adapt to specific situations as they come.
