Is Showing-Off in Poker Games a Smart Tactic or a Dumb Idea?



One of the most despicable personalities at the poker table time and time again will continually be the attention-seeker. You are familiar with the guy I’m speaking of. He’s the guy that finds a place at the Texas Hold’em Poker table and makes sure you’re aware that he wants to win all of your no limit Texas Hold’em poker chips; leaving the Texas Hold’em table with the very same mind-set that he rolled up with. Even if this guy gets killed, he has the idea that he is the greatest no-limit Texas Hold’em player around.

Whereas the majority of no-limit Texas Hold’em players would sooner shun poker opponents of this class, there are those who might argue that bragging might have its advantages. So, the doubt you may have is: Is there in all reality an expert no limit Texas Hold’em poker attention-seeker or unfair Texas Hold’em Poker show-off? Shooting off their mouths about how good you are in Texas Hold’em Poker is really just like admitting: “I am the greatest poker player in the world, always remember to play your best game while you’re playing a Texas Hold’em Poker game against me!” Most certainly that is the most terrible vibe to give out playing no-limit Texas Hold’em. In addition, spilling too much info. about your poker playing techniques can be damaging to your Texas Hold’em game. You almost definitely do not want these players to know how you bet on specified no-limit Texas Hold’em hands.

Moreover there are those no limit Texas Hold’em poker competitors who could utilize shooting off their mouths as a manner of Texas Hold’em strategy, or bluff. Show-boating when you have a certain poker hand could fool your opponents and baffle them about your Texas Hold’em Poker playing style. There are those who may think that this tactic a bit sneaky, but it is significant to bear in mind that there aren’t tons of rules against it in Texas Hold’em Poker. Texas Hold’em is all about making good use of what’s given to you and utilizing it to the maximum.

Poker Scandal will be featured on CBS



On Sun., Nov. 30th the CBS network will air their special “How Online Gamblers Unmasked Cheaters”. This special investigation show was created after a 16-week research into the online Texas Hold’em industry and particularly a cheating scandal involving the online Texas Hold’em webpage Absolute Poker.

This Texas Hold’em poker webpage was inspected after some of the poker players on the webpage said that a poker player was unlawfully winning a large amount of cash. Todd Witteles was a key witness in this inquiry, according to him; he was losing incredibly large amounts of poker chips to the very same Texas Hold’em poker player. Witteles stated that this man was raising against awfully good cards, the majority of people would have presumed he was basically giving his money to the other players, but he was in reality winning many poker hands.

Witteles was quite correct in his assumptions, later on it was discovered that a poker player with knowledge of the site was able to see everyone´s hole cards. With the first look, Absolute Poker stated that there were no faults with the website or the poker player. After numerous players presented the site with accusations, the Texas Hold’em website looked further into the issue and discovered the cheater.

Around January of this year, the KGC discovered what the poker players and the Texas Hold’em poker site had supposed all along. It was eventually shown that, there was an employee who had attacked the Texas Hold’em webpage’s security and was playing poker illegitimately for approximately a month and a half. The examination proved that the poker webpage had not profited from the unlawful activities by any means, and was positively not implicated.

These issues are further testimony that there must be more rules regarding gambling pages. The U.S. government ought to authorize and control the online poker industry to defend these honorable customers. These rules would also regulate the admission to these sites by children, which is turning into another fear recently.

Could I really make money in the Game of Texas Hold’em Tournaments?



Take a second to imagine if you were to talk to any average person off the street about online Texas Hold’em poker, they probably wouldn’t deem online poker to be a game of strategy, preparation, or close examination. Possibly when you talk about online poker with them, they would more than likely envision some friends sitting around their living room table having conversations and smoking cigars. They also could consider Texas Hold’em to be a game of pure luck as opposed to ability, more similar to a game of roulette and not a skill game, for instance.

So the big issue you may have is: “Could I become a millionaire playing poker?”. It may come as a surprise to you but, the answer to this question is a definite “yes”. A number of folks not just make some money by playing online Texas Hold’em, but also make a lot of money by competing in poker tournaments. The key point you have to remember about poker is that while you can play in a Las Vegas casino, alongside craps tables and slot machines; in Texas Hold’em you are not contending against the house but against other online Texas Hold’em rivals. So, in truth, you are betting your money against other players in a game of expertise as opposed to a game of chance.

You might be thinking to yourself: “Isn’t the game of poker about luck too?” Certainly in online Texas Hold’em, not a soul knows which poker cards will be dealt. That doesn’t automatically imply that you can’t play with a certain quantity of pre-game data. One thing that is important to not forget in online Texas Hold’em is that numbers can be your best friend. Mathematics has a very essential part in the game of online poker. So much so, that even if you get somewhat lucky every once in while the stats always have a way of bringing you back to reality.

Always remember that Las Vegas, Nevada casino table games comparable to Texas Hold’em where you are in reality contending against other real-life poker players CAN be won. It is proven that the more you play the game of online Texas Hold’em poker, you will find that it is more of game of talent rather than natural fate.

FullTiltPoker.net and W.P.T. Sign Sponsorship Deal



Two of the biggest online poker enterprises around are signing a sponsorship deal for the upcoming season in what is predicted to be an incredibly lucrative venture. The incredibly successful poker site Fulltiltpoker has recently publicized that they will be joining with World Poker Tour for the following W.P.T. season. FullTiltPoker.com is scheduled the foremost promoter of the World WPT’s 7th, and the poker website is on tap to be highlighted in all of the episodes which are seen on FSN. Fulltiltpoker will gain all the rights to the educational bits of the installments.

Particulars of this accord have not been revealed as of yet, but the merger will definitely be a breakthrough. This merger will bring together two very prominent poker brands. World Poker Tour Enterprises which is an important brand on TV by means of FSN and FullTiltPoker.net which has an enormous Texas Hold’em poker fan base, not to mention a poker lineup consisting of players who have collected a total of 10 W.P.T.E. awards and thirty-five World Series of Poker bracelets. Full Tilt also funds many other poker stars and now the Texas Hold’em poker site has begun providing Texas Hold’em lessons also.

This union is certain to pull in a fresh following and should to satisfy the fresh status which Texas Hold’em is causing. This contract suggests World Poker Tour Enterprises’ surrender of the online poker room industry as World Poker Tour will soon end their Texas Hold’em poker webpage World Poker Tour online. Their membership site ClubWPT.com will almost certainly continue to run.

Preventing Distractions as you are playing Internet Texas Holdem



The benefits of Full Tilt Poker compared to actual poker rooms are endless, but besides these advantages there are also a number of troubles. Internet poker allows recreational poker players the opportunity to play in pro Texas Hold em Tournaments with pro Texas Hold em players, but these non-professional Texas Hold em players ought to avoid any disruptions that could hurt their chances to win big money.

Many online Texas Holdem players become sidetracked by their environment, or probably by the internet poker webpage they are playing on. These interruptions can in truth cost them great hands and quite possibly their well-deserved Texas Holdem Poker chips. The game of poker is a game of expertise as well as absolute attentiveness, no matter if you are playing at home, or in a brick and mortar poker room.

Most likely, the biggest blunder that online Texas Holdem poker players commit is by competing in more than one table at once. The better part of amateur Full Tilt Poker players will assume that this is a good scheme, but at the end of the day it could prove to be a harm. This scheme of playing different Texas Hold em tables simultaneously will damage your concentration and at the end of the day cost you big. Don’t forget that even the best Texas Holdem players in the world can commit damaging blunders while concentrating their attention on a number of internet poker tables simultaneously.

Any given online Texas Holdem poker player, may at some point, find themselves playing several Full Tilt Poker tables at the same time, while watching a movie, reading their favorite poker blogs, talking on the phone to friends etc. This is a scenario that should be avoided if you desire to win online Texas Holdem games and make the grade for big internet poker tournaments. Remember to concentrate your attention on the other internet poker player’s wagers, their intentions, and your own online Texas Holdem hands if you desire to be the best Texas Hold em player.

7 Card Stud Poker - Easier to beat?

I have been playing a lot of 7 card stud poker recently on Full Tilt . I decided to go back to the original game that I learned growing up.

The action on FT has been great. It seems that most of the players in the mid limits have very very unsound fundamentals in the game and the profit potential is huge.

IMHO,with all the knowledge available for Texas Holdem, it seems that Stud players just never caught up poker insight wise.

Sportsbetting is definately a game of skill.



















Sports Betting -- A Game of Skill






FootballSports betting is a game of skill. The challenge is to gather and analyze as much information as you can about a game, weigh the probabilities of each team winning, and subsequently compare your opinion to the oddsmaker''s. Make the right judgment and you win. It''s as simple as that.


Basketball and BaseballWhile luck may be a deciding factor in the outcome of any single game, and will inevitably go against you on occasion, it will balance out in the long run. Being a consistent winner in sports betting is not about luck but whether you are prepared to invest the time and effort to become knowledgeable about the sports you bet on, whether you can weigh all the factors in a cool, objective fashion, and whether you adopt a consistent, disciplined, long-term approach to your betting. Do all these and you will come out a winner. Remember, it''s you against the oddsmaker, not the bookmaker.

Playing Advice for Beginning and Advanced players.

Always remember to be patient and play solid hands. You have most likely heard the miracle stories about sheep sensing stuff before it happens, or animals acting weird or behaving weird before major events happen. Your gut feeling or intuition can be your best friend if you trust in it, trust it and listen to it.

If you are a player that doesn't get caught in bluffs early on, it makes it that much easier to bluff a win once the pot is larger in the later rounds.

HOW TO WIN TEXAS HOLDEM POKER ....minutes to learn, life time to master. If I told you every critical decision in casino poker was actually an easy decision would you believe me? For the majority of people they will never be able to tap into there gut feeling or will never be able to know when they hear it or feel it, this is because in order to hear and listen your gut feeling you need to have balance in your mind and body, you need to have emotional control over yourself, you need to be in touch with your feelings. Bluffing, this is a big part of the game.

The more players at the table, the riskier it is to go all-in. Your mind is a powerful database more powerful then any computer and has a hard drive that stores every hand you play, every bet that people make, every situation that happens. Otherwise with your raise, a tight player will put you on a higher hand, fold and wait until their hand comes along. Most people that are unsuccessful are the ones that like to play every hand and chase cards.

This is not to say that you shouldn't think about decisions or problems and should just do what your first 6th sense is, because evaluation is an important and critical part of the decision making process. Going over all the variables presented to you to come up with a conclusion. Get an understanding of how the other players at the table are playing, loose.tight?

Your intuition isn't the solution to all your problems and your gut feeling isn't always right, just because your gut feeling isn't always right it's not correct to stop listening to it, you need to understand that your gut feeling is the best tool that will help your more times then not, so listen to it unconditionally. This is important to know because the person playing loose is very hard to bet out of a hand and the players that are tight usually only play when they have a monster hand. Being able to hear and listen to your gut feeling can become a very powerful tool in your texas holdem playing, you have to listen to your gut though, the first instinct or thought you have is usually always the correct decision. Watch how players are betting and remember that, so if it comes to a show down and cards are turned over, you'll get a good read on their betting style. Your 6th sense is that first feeling you get, the majority of people never believe or trust in there 6th sense and dismiss the feeling as just a thought and then think more and end up with no real confident answer or decision. Probably not, but if you believe in your inner self and have inner balance and control then you can hear and listen to your gut feeling and follow through with your gut feeling.

Here again, you need to get a feel on others texas holdem playing styles in order to get a read on them to determine if it is a bluff or strong hand. Be cautious to what the board gives you, does it give other players an opportunity at a straight or flush? So practice listening to your self, identify when your gut tells you something and believe in it and use it in life, use it on the Online+Poker tables.

a couple things I suggest, if its early in a game wait to see a flop.

A Thought to play by; it's always better to rake a small pot than to lose a big poker pot. He's probably laid back, never really worried or never panics just always seems so sure. Later in the game and with less players, pocket pairs increase in strength, because you are not on a draw, unless someone else has a pocket pair that is higher than yours.

Did they bet on the flop, turn and river, or slow play their hand? So your gut feeling is usually what the mind feels based on your database of similar poker online situations. Be selective on the hands you play and you will increase your odds greatly. Stand up for a minute, sit out a hand, get your thoughts together, put it behind you and get re-focused. We all take bad beats or fold a winning hand, it's a part of the game, but if you get upset or go on tilt, you will not win! Wait until you see the flop and then if you pocket pair is higher than the board, bet aggressively and see how others react. If you do get caught early and often, texas holdemplayers are more than likely to call your bets and get tells that you may not know you have. They don't have time to thoroughly think things through or contemplate, they feel there gut trust it and react on it.

What I mean here is; did they have a made hand or were they on a draw? A tight player generally only plays the "nuts" early on, but then they know you have a read on them and their style of play, so in the later rounds they try stealing the pot with a big bet. So evaluation is important and should be done, but you should be able to feel your first natural instinct and let it play a major role in your decision making process. This is because animals rely on intuition, they trust and rely on instinct for survival.
