Hello,
For a year or two, I’ve been playing poker. Well, I love playing online. In quite a short span of time, I was able to familiarize myself about position and odds.
Just recently, I introduced some of my friends to poker and as of now we are planning to be into ... Click to read more

Hello,
Assume that you are in a no limit tourney or a sit and go with 800 chips and with blinds 15/30. Then at some point, perhaps in the third hand, you see AQs and so you raise it up to 60. You then have several callers however they’re not the ... Click to read more

Hello,
Just recently, I was in a one-table tourney online. Luckily, I made it to the final three players. If I remember it right, one of the two others was tight. I was a little looser then because I was the short stack. I believe the other one of the two ... Click to read more

There were two hands in a certain tournament which I am not so sure about. I’m not confident that I’ve played them well. Just an information, in the first hand, I was the shortest stack in the tourney at 45,000 chips and in the second hand, there was nothing so ... Click to read more

Hello,
I don’t like table tournaments so I tried $25 PL online. I’ve been playing such kind for some time now.
In one of the events I was in, I lost because of a certain hand. There were actually five players in back then. I had $64 and was considered the largest ... Click to read more

Hi,
I’m just new to poker and I’ve come to know the game through the WSOP. I was able to watch a few episodes of it actually.
Well, it appeared to me that when the player with a greater amount of chips calls a player with a not so plenty chips all ... Click to read more

Hello,
The other day, I was in a no limit tournament with a $35 buy in by which everyone had $1500 worth of chips. I was two seats removed from the button when the blinds were still $25/$50. I remember I had Kh-Qh then. Few minutes passed and four players limped ... Click to read more

Hello,
I’ve read a magazine focusing mainly on casino stuff. In one of its articles, it was stated that “If you just call somebody on the river rather than raising them, you hurt all other players in the tournament. It’s not ethical poker, so don’t do it”. I don’t exactly understand ... Click to read more

Hello,
Just recently, I was invited to be in a certain tournament. It was actually a six player no-limit winner-take-all tournament.
Back then, my opponents were five young men and the play was extremely loose and quick, just as what I have expected actually. Well, I tried to play a bit tighter ... Click to read more

Hello,
Just yesterday, I was in a friendly tourney. At certain point, I mucked my straight flush draw on the river based on pot odds and then later on realized the card I should have. And so I started questioning myself afterwards about pot odds. Are they really significant in tourneys?
