Play a few freerolls to increase your skills or take a short break from poker for a few days. At least if you play freerolls you have nothing to lose and if you play well it will increase your...

Everyone plays poker, and to be honest small forms of similar poker started outside of the US many decades ago.



When I was watching WSOP last week I saw loads of oriental players, didn't...

Yes, I agree with this and I am fairly knowledgeable with board texture, but if a wet board such as 3:h:4:h:6:d: came up and you had pocket K:d:10:s:, you wouldn't want to continuation bet would you?...

Thanks for your insight, the BIB however I think you misunderstood. I know not to play 80% of my hands, that would be ludicrous, but meant raising 80% of the times you want to play a hand.

Ok thanks, but how does this apply to post-flop play? If you haven't hit the board wouldn't people pick up on the fact you may have a weak hand if you check? Or should you always bet after raising...

I think you did right with checking on the flop. The board was pretty dry with the only possibility of him having a straight draw or a pair, and by checking you made out to him you had nothing on the...

I agree, but isn't it a two way street? You raise to get value and possible fold equity? People always say to me that by raising you have more ways to win a hand because people may fold.

From what I read most people say that you should be raising around 70-80% of the time pre-flop with the hands you're going to play, and of course this does seem like a great idea to ensure you kick...

I have been watching WSOP this week on Youtube which I feel has actually helped my game slightly and given me a little confidence. I understand there is tournaments held every week around the world,...

That clears it up. Thought it might have been that. Thanks

Smith's outs in the screenshot are shown as 9 outs, but why would he have 9? What good would any of the extra three 9's benefit his hand?

There was only three other players including the dealer in the pot. Surely you wouldn't fold such a hand?

I have a question which relates somewhat to this thread, and I thought instead of writing a new thread just to post my question here. To be an aggressive player I have read that you should be raising...

How does this work for you?

I have learned over the past couple of days how important these two stats are, and when playing against someone with a VPIP/PFR of 33/20 that I shouldn't bluff too...

Well his vpip/pfr/ are solid, so I wouldn't presume he was bluffing. Chances are he maybe had two pair from the off, such as A2 or three of a kind, and if this was the case I think he played the pot...

Usually when I have questions like this I will usually just google, but I have noticed this happens so frequently that I need some personal insight.

Earlier I was betting a hand where I had...

I 100% disagree about the luck factor in poker. At one time I did used to think this myself, and this may be the case in a one off session down the casino or with friends, but one thing I have found...

Thanks for the replies people. I will play micro stakes soon, and although other people do treat play money differently (which I do notice a lot), I do play it as though it was real money, and make...

First off, I'm new here and look forward to spending more time on this forum as my poker skills increase. I have played poker for many years, but only recently become aware of things such as how...
