Top World Series of Poker stories
Having reached the half-way point of the 2010 WSOP, I reckon it’s about time we turned around and took a look at the stories yielded by the Series so far, because they have been plenty and plenty diverse too. First on the order of the day is the British invasion. It’s not a secret that the Brits are generally good poker players, but this year, their contingent has pretty much surpassed all expectations so far. No fewer than 3 Englishmen walked away with WSOP bracelets, and that fact alone doesn’t even begin to describe their dominance. Praz Bansi, James Dempsey ...
Full Tilt’s Rush Poker: boom or bust?
These days, the online poker world is abuzz with Full Tilt’s newest (copyrighted) invention: Rush Poker. It looks like everyone I talk to has already tried the new game, and they’re all delighted with it. They’ve all won at it too. Now, that leaves several possibilities open. It’s either that all my friends are excellent poker players and they have all indeed taken cash off the Rush Poker tables, or that they’re just a bunch of liars, or that everyone playing Rush Poker wins. That however is highly unlikely as it raises an even more unsettling question: if everyone wins, ...
The poker rake
As a complete beginner, you should always start your online poker adventure at the play money tables. While these tables may not teach you much strategy-wise, they will make sure you learn the game rules properly and that you become familiar with the user-interface too. One more thing: if you cannot beat the play money tables consistently, you’re probably not ready to move on to real money just yet. Anyway, it won’t be long before your ongoing poker education requires you to leave the play money tables and get some real money experience under your belt. Once you begin playing at the ...

Make money in Limit Hold’em – Poker Advice
As NL Texas Hold’em poker tables become more competitive all the time, does it make sense for players to go looking for value in limit Texas Hold’em? That kind of depends on whom you ask. If you ask a NL Hold’em poker maniac, he will probably tell you that not only is limit Hold’em a useless waste of time, it is also extremely annoying, and... [Read more of this review]
Swearing and poker
Swearing has long been an enemy of the poker player. Just ask Mike Matusow how many times he was fined or hit with some kind of penalty on account of the frequency of the F-bombs he so generously dispenses. Until not so long ago, the mere mention of an F-related expression drew an immediate penalty at the WSOP too. What exactly is the psychology at... [Read more of this review]
Cashing in on your big hands in poker
Winning poker theory is simple: all you need to do is to make the most of your made hands and to lose as little as possible on your rags. That’s easier said than done though.
