Doing Nothing

July 26th, 2010 filed under Internet Fun, Wheel Of Luck, World Of Games

My favorite way to start a online poker tournament is to do nothing at all. When you start out a tournament by folding a bunch of hands and sitting back and observing your opponents, you place yourself at a huge advantage over them-the more you play, the more they’ll be able to see how you play and before long, they’ll know how you tend to play, and you really want to keep them in the dark as long as possible.

If you fold the majority of your hands in the beginning of a online poker tournament, you’ll be able to observe how your opponents play without the distraction of having to play against them. Since most of your opponents won’t be taking this approach, you’ll have a distinct advantage when it comes to knowing how they play.

Inversely, your opponents can’t read you if you don’t play. By sitting out the first few hands, your opponents won’t be able to see how you play and get any kind of decent read on you. By the time you have them figured out and start playing, they won’t have any idea of what you’re doing or how to play against you.

This is one of the few times in life where you gain an edge by sitting back and doing nothing. If you take the first round or two and just watch your opponents, you’ll get to start with a distinct informational advantage. Try it out at your next online poker game. e=’ms� ae(�`G� The obvious thought process is a trap. He doesn’t want to scare me away but wants to keep getting paid. But he didn’t seem confident to me, he just seemed like he was trying to steal from late position but wavered in his commitment to the idea. I called this tiny bet.

The river was a 9. Now a j-10 could make a straight, but holding two jacks made this less likely for the jack to be out there. I make a pitiful check once again. My opponent now bets 1000 on the river. I call time and think about things.

Usually when a player bets big on the river it’s a bluff or the nuts. When they bet small along the way, it suggests a draw. A king or queen would not be so confident to rope me in with these tiny massaging bets. Especially the descending bet on the turn. If he had a good one pair hand, he’d be betting more to make sure I folded. This huge river bet is again either a missed draw/total bluff or a small set or something. I would imagine his bet to be smaller on the river if he wanted a call, being that I called all of his small bets throughout the hand and showed no signed of desire to commit a lot of chips to the pot.

Tips to Complete Perplexus

July 3rd, 2010 filed under Internet Fun, Parents + Kids, Savvy Product Infos

A lot of time is used up by us, here at Perplexus’ head office, trying to achieve new shortcuts and ways to cheat Perplexus’ ridiculously addictive maze. We thought we would offer some help to the new owners of a Perplexus who are struggling to overcome it.

If you, like me have tried and failed miserably to indicate the Perplexus who’s chief then worry no more, there are a couple of routes in which you can skip a some ways and reclaim some dignity. Getting crushed by a children’s maze is not ideal for grown ups, as a result these hints are set up for them. This is a very basic a suggestion for you yet a very good one nevertheless. In the beginning skip step 13 to step 26 by tumbling down from the purple ledge rather than moving around it, this will bring you directly to the yellow step 26.

The next and last tip your getting out of us is a skip from step 40 to step 88, this one is arguably even less complicated than the first skip but a whole lot more worthwhile as after this skip you’ll nearly be at the end of the maze. Once you are on step 40 break the rule and don’t go on to step 41, immediately tilt the Perplexus 90 degrees to the right and there, you will finish up on step 88. This is all you have to do to come closer to the finish. After you might have completed this you might be overflowing with a sense of self-achievement but keep in mind you can’t call yourself a real Perplexus champ until you finish it from step 1 to step 100.

One should finish Perplexus truthfully, we completely back this initiative. But if you have some tricks of your own, do share it with us. Let’s find out who has improved skips!

For the time being, happy puzzling.

Continuation Bet and Heads up

May 14th, 2010 filed under Internet Fun, Wheel Of Luck, World Of Games

If you’ve played any full ring or 6-max hold ‘em poker in the last year, you’ve most without a doubt, undoubtedly ran into a c-bet. This is where the preflop initial raiser, makes a second bet after the flop.

I’ve began researching this in Heads Up poker play, and it seems that, contrary to what you would think, sometimes having a high c-bet percentage is bad. Let’s look at it this way. You’re getting called a lot in HU since the relative hand strengths are way higher two handed than they are six. So you’ll get calls from hands like K4 or Q8, stuff that would normally not be played in a regular ring game.

Because of this, every flop is potentially dangerous to you if you totally whiff. So how do you solve this conundrum. Well the simple answer is make your cbets appropriately and mix in the proper number of bluffs, but that doesn’t’ REALLY answer the question. So here are some hints that will help you more frequently bluff your way into chips on boards you miss on, and save you some money on board you totally whiff on.

When you’re playing poker in position HU, and you make the preflop raise, some of the best boards to bluff on and take the pot down right away are paired broadway boards. Boards like AAx, KKx, QQx, or JJx give you a huge bluffing advantage, since a lot of players, seeing that you made the preflop raise, will give you credit for potentially holding this card, and most of the time they don’t want to pay to find out.

As far as saving yourself money, if you make a raise without an Ace in your hand, and you see an A on the flop, you can usually safely just check behind and let the turn come. However, bluffing an A or K on the turn may prove advantageous if you time it right and have a decently aggressive heads-up image. Just remember, most of the people calling you out of position will usually have a suited A,K,Q,J,or Ten, or they’ll have suited connectors down to about 8-7. So just be aware of the board texture, and make your c-bets accordingly. Oh, and sometimes, even more effective is to make an extended check raise. You check on the flop, then make a standard raise on the turn, and c-bet on the river. A lot of people don’t give credit to someone who will 3-barrel bluff all the way down to the river.


Tips for Tight Play

March 26th, 2010 filed under Internet Fun, Wheel Of Luck, World Of Games

Poker experts typically espouse a tight aggressive style of play to win at the game. To play a tight aggressive poker game, you must be selective about what hands to play and then raise more often then just calling a bet. Of course, if you only play tight poker online , then you become easy to read and will get no action when you do bet. So do enter some pots with speculative hands and occasionally get caught making a cheap bluff. There are times though when you should just automatically tighten up your play. Be aware of these reasons to play tight: * The table tone is generally loose with lots of players calling and raising pre-flop. Stick to premium hands in these situations. * If you have been loosing a lot of online poker hands, your play is too loose. Tighten up your starting hand standards and avoid playing from early position unless you’re holding a monster hand. * If the pot is raised before the action gets to you, then fold unless you’re holding a made hand of at least a medium pair or very strong cards, like A-K suited. * An unpredictable player who is very aggressive is a dangerous adversary. Avoid engaging with this player until you get a big hand, then let this opponent do the betting for you. * In a tournament with only a medium stack, you should tighten up to survive as the field dwindles down to a final table.


Knowing when a Player Will Go All-In; Letting Him Reopen the Pot for You

March 12th, 2010 filed under Internet Fun, Wheel Of Luck, World Of Games

One player is short with 185, in BB Blinds are 30/60. I’m pretty short, about 850. I have KK. Big stack UTG min raises to 120. I flat call. I do this because I’m assuming the shorty in BB will shove and then I can come over the top of this UTG big stack when he either flat calls or raises to isolate. The poker online player behind me calls the 120 and then the short stack goes all-in for his 185. The big stack calls, and then I shove. The guy behind me calls, having me covered by about 400 casino chips. I table KK he has 88. I more than double up to over 2k in chips. If I shoved over the min raise, I might not get the dead chips of the short stack in the online poker pot. Also, by letting him shove and re-opening action, the big stack might make a mistake and try to isolate against him. It also looks like I’m trying to isolate when I shove over all this dead money against the short stack, which is why I think 88 called me. I took a gamble that the guy who just took a huge loss of chips and was at 3bbs would shove any two cards from the BB. I was right and it paid off.

Bluffing with the Best Hand

November 4th, 2009 filed under Internet Fun, Wheel Of Luck, World Of Games

Often in the event of bluffing one does not truly know what their poker opponent actually has. You might assume, having missed a draw, or failed to connect with overcards to a flop, that because you have missed making your hand, your online poker opponent must surely have one better than you. In truth, though, quite more regularly than one might think, when you are bluffing thinking you have the worst of it, you in fact do have the best.

What many people do not realize when they’ve missed their hand is that their opponent has also missed. Often, then, when betting out with hands like ace or king high, or even with small pairs when you feel sure that your opponent must have a better piece, you are actually betting into a player who has even less than you, and yet they’ve put in money to the pot, making it look as if they had a made hand. A busted straight or flush draw is a very common hand for a player to end up with, making their high card, if you have a large high card, lesser than yours.

The point here is to realize that betting out can win a lot more pots in representation than just simply giving up on a hand assuming your online poker opponent actually got there when odds are he did not.


Poker Wisdom: Luck

July 21st, 2009 filed under Internet Fun, Wheel Of Luck, World Of Games

Seasoned online poker players know that there is more skill than luck involved in winning at the jeux de casino. But every player must still acknowledge that luck can drastically change a hand’s outcome, while knowing that applied skill is more likely to produce predicable results.

Roman historian Seneca said it well two thousand years ago, with these words of wisdom: “Luck never made a man wise.” Anyone who plays enough a online poker gets lucky once in a while. The poker gods smile and a great winning streak happens that has no relation to skill. But this does not make a great poker player. Winning players continue to study the game, know how to calculate outs and odds, shrewdly observe the other players, and practice patience and discipline at the poker table.

American writer Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote: “Shallow men believe in luck. Strong men believe in cause and effect.” The same holds true for poker players. Those who want to win deliberately plan their strategies for trapping, deceiving and outplaying their opponents. They have a reason for every action they take, and do not rely on luck to win.

Yet, luck can bring down the very best hands and players. Phil Helmuth, who holds 12 WSOP championship bracelets and is considered one of the best players ever, has this say about luck: “If there was no such thing as luck, I guess I’d win every time.” Learn the skills, but always be on the look out for luck, both the good and bad that can influence poker hand results.
