Well, I want to share something actually. I’ve been playing holdem at home games in tournament format along with some friends. Recently, we started playing the blinds. A friend of mine went short of funds when ... 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,
I’m a regular player at the 5 dollar sit and go tourneys at Poker Stars. Before, I love to play NL however later on I noticed there were a lot of maniacs at such. Those maniacs just usually blind me to death.
As of the moment, I love playing at limit ... 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

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

Hello,
Recently, I was in a multi table fixed limit tournament. I was seriously troubled then as just about more than an hour after the tournament started, entries were gone, stakes went 50/100. I was in a new table with approximately 700 chips. Well, I was somehow behind in ... 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
