Hi,
I’m just new to poker. I don’t yet have any idea about buy ins. I’m wondering if you can explain to me buy-in for a tournament. If possible, please explain to me with an example so that I could understand it much better. Also, what does $30 + 5 means? ... Click to read more

Hi,
I must admit it, I badly want to believe I’m an above-average player. I’ve played well before and I’ve already held a monthly poker game. Not to mention that I was invited several times to play at some local games. I believe the biggest one so far was the ... 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,
I’m not really serious about playing poker or even being a pro. I play just during my pastime. Well, I love playing online. As a player, I’m a tight type and if I don’t have good hands like ak, aq pocket pairs etc, I don’t get involved. In early stages, ... Click to read more

Hello,
Just 3 months ago, I started playing poker. First, I tried my luck in NL and then next in Limit. My first experience online was with William Hill here in the UK at the £1/2 tables. I believe I’ve played well.
Honestly, the first time, I was okay with NL ... Click to read more

Hi,
Me and my friends play two tourneys every night with blinds structured to have each for two or more hours. This set up worked for me. In fact, I’m doing well most especially when it’s already the last 3 seconds of the tourney.
Now my question is, should a starting table ... Click to read more
