Working From Home For The Holidays

Date: Wed, Dec 17, 2008

Just a quick update today. I’m cranking away hard at the new book this month (and should be doing so through January), so I haven’t allotted quite as much time as usual to writing articles for the website. As a result, expect the updates to be a little slower than usual for the next few [...]

Playing Deceptively - Part 1: Defining Deception

Date: Fri, Dec 12, 2008

Lately I’ve been thinking about deception in poker, and I decided to write a modest series of articles describing my take on exactly what deception means and how to play in a deceptive way. I think if you asked people to define what it means to play poker “deceptively” I think most of them would mention [...]

Don’t Overdo Overlimping

Date: Mon, Dec 8, 2008

Overlimping is limping in preflop behind one or more limpers. In my opinion, most players overlimp more often than they should. If you love to sneak into pots behind limping opponents, reading this article could change your mind and improve your results. You’re sitting four off the button in a 9-handed live no-limit game. The blinds [...]

Q&A #120: Pot-Limit Omaha Starting Hands

Date: Thu, Dec 4, 2008

Over the past year I’ve focused almost exclusively on no-limit hold’em questions and answers. There are two reasons: that’s mostly what I’ve been playing this year, and that’s also mostly what most people play. But I have dabbled some in pot-limit Omaha this year, and I have to say I do really enjoy playing PLO. One [...]

Exploiting Limiting Turn Calls

Date: Sun, Nov 30, 2008

The idea of a player “limiting” their hand range is a critical hand reading concept. The basic idea is this: Anyone who has a very strong hand wants to get money in the pot. They’ll be looking for an opportunity to do that. If your opponent bypasses one or more excellent opportunities to go for [...]

Happy Thanksgiving

Date: Thu, Nov 27, 2008

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Have a great day… enjoy the football and eat a lot. Since I’m a vegan, turkey won’t be on the menu for us. Turkeys are really cool birds, by the way. If you’re from Europe or Australia or somewhere else where they don’t celebrate Thanksgiving… just eat a huge dinner and you’ll be [...]

Hand Discussion #14: Alas, An Overcard

Date: Sun, Nov 23, 2008

It’s been a long time since my last Hand Discussion, partly because I haven’t been playing much the past few months due to nearly crushing levels of overall busyness. So I figured it was about time for a good old discussion, and I found an interesting hand from the message board that I thought would [...]

Firing The Second Barrel

Date: Wed, Nov 19, 2008

Firing the second barrel means bluffing again on the turn after your opponent called your flop bluff. It’s probably one of the most important skills to master if you want to crush no-limit games. Second Barrel Basics Many flop calls are made for speculative reasons. Someone has a draw they hope to improve on the turn. Or [...]

Q&A #119: How Do I Apply SPR To My Game?

Date: Sat, Nov 15, 2008

In the first no-limit book that I co-wrote with Sunny Mehta and Matt Flynn (as opposed to the upcoming book), Professional No-Limit Hold’em: Volume 1 (PNL1), we devoted a large chunk of the text to the concept of using Stack-to-Pot Ratios (SPR) to plan your hands and to make commitment decisions. The SPR for a hand [...]

I mentioned last month that the new book with Sunny Mehta and Matt Flynn was coming along well. Since that post I took a weeklong trip to New Orleans to visit Sunny, and we used that time to really crank hard on the manuscript. On that trip we took stock of our progress, and we [...]

Q&A #118: Suited Connectors Vs. Pocket Aces And The Confusion About Limping

Date: Fri, Nov 7, 2008

I wanted to clear up two major no-limit hold’em misunderstandings. They are somewhat related. The first one is described in a comment by Ben Attenborough on recent post Playing No-Limit With A Plan. Hey Ed, I would just like to say I think this is a very well written article which goes a long way to explaining [...]

Date: Fri, Oct 31, 2008

The great thing about poker is that nearly all of us have room to improve our games. Many players who beat small stakes live games at a decent clip could win more money if they tried these three simple things more often.
