Malou’s Poker Tips

That’s 19 re-buys. He’s convinced he has a big edge though, and knowing Tom Dwan’s game – he probably HAS. Still, having to place in the top-5 or so to actually come out on top is NOT easy.

Johnny “FUCKING” Chan beating Erik Seidel – from the awesome video Rounders. “BLUFF AT IT?”

TOP PAIR HEADS-UP DAMNED!!!

Just had to sit through 30 minutes of Adam Ehrlich on NBC’s Face The Ace, and have issues not vomiting now. Here’s why he’s an irritating little wannabe:

1. The man tries to be a “tv-personality”, with no personality
2. He puts the chips in like he’s a seasoned pro, yet plays absolute idiotic poker.
3. He interviews Chris Ferguson like he’s a freaking talkshow host.
4. He stares down the pros, yet does it like he has a spare chromosome.
5. He’s overweight and tries to mask it with a shirt that doesn’t fit and not showing his elephant-like pants.

It’s good to get hit by the deck, but it’s even more awesome to overestimate yourself and probably go home loser for the trip to Las Vegas, donking off cash in the Vegas poker rooms.

He tried to go on The Apprentice too:

EPIC FAIL.

[edit] LOL, he created his own fan-site: adamgoodbet.com.

(Oh and Adam, if you’re reading this: you might be a nice guy – but I just don’t like you :p)

Poker is an incredible game which requires the right move at the right movement. Learning to play poker can be a daunting task. Beginners would have to master all the rules and they should also learn the killer tips and tricks to win pots.

Before playing the game of poker in a casino or online you should be very confident about the rules of the game or you may be in for a rude shock. Beginners generally find themselves in tricky situations and they are clueless about the course of action. Most of the times they end up making a complete fool of them by making the wrong moves and their seasoned opponents take undue advantage of this.

This article should be able to help the beginners by making them aware of the various traps that they should avoid during the course of the game.

Beginners should avoid playing too many hands before the flops. This is one of the most common mistakes committed by beginners universally. They generally play too many hands before the flop on the poker table. Beginners should be aware of the fact that they should have premium cards to play before the pre-flop. You should play only 20-25% of the hands in total and the rest should be folded which carve out a picture that you do not indulge in reckless playing.

Beginners are too immature when they play too many hands pre-flop but also stretch the game too far which may result in losing a lot of money. Beginners carelessly resort to forming any pair. Only if you have the best pair should you go ahead and play your game.

Obviously this isn’t pure skill. Tom Dwan turns $8k into $50k in 8 minutes. He runs well, hits hands, makes a flush against David Benyamine and has Chufty stacking off for free against him. It is amazing to see the ease in which durrr puts in the chips…

Full Tilt equals Action.

No joke. Allen Cunningham is so much better than Jamie “LetsGetLuckeh” Gold. Excellent hand from the ‘06 World Series of Poker.

Poker has emerged as one of the most accepted table games of all times. People from all over the world patronize poker and it now has an ardent fan following. But do you play poker in compliance with all rules and conventions?

Many people are not familiar with various forms of poker games and their variations. Here it is explained how the “7 card stud poker” is played.

Stud poker is a popular game in which a set number of cards are there that are opened for all players’ view and rest are held with the individual. A seven card stud poker is played with each player contributing an initial set amount in the pot before card dealing.

Three cards are dealt and the first card is open to everyone’s view and two cards are dealt face down. The player who has the lowest card face up starts the betting and the betting is done in clockwise direction.

Not sure what to think of this call. It’s either a great read, or a lucky call. Doyle could have played a flopped set, KQ or even AK the same way. It’s a pretty amazing call though, so props to Tony Guoga!
