As you start to play more games in poker around your town you will find certain things about each game are different. This one game i went to you could straddle from anywhere. Straddle is when the blinds are 1 2 you can make it anything you want in the under the gun position or button which in turn makes you the big blind and everyone has to call you. This makes you the best position on the table. There is on gentleman who always makes it 25 on the button. Well there was people straddling from any where sleeping straddle if no on called the big blind before him his straddle counted.

The other day i was playing poker and a valid point came up on the table. The point was hey everyone playing here thinks they are a pro. This is from one player lets call him MO to hide his identity. There is one hand where a player bets his flush draw and gets raised and on the turn calls the all in. The one player has a queen high flush draw ans the other player has the king high draw with two over cards. The one player who lost said how can you call with that junk. The guy MO says he has two

Have you ever played poker with a guy or girl that just destroys the table. The player that is in attack mode and raises every hand and also hits them. How do you play this style ? How do i win chips like that ? How can i beat these players you ask ? The answers are a little complicated. Well if you want to play attack style that is usually because the table is playing real tight like not calling a 5 times the bet raise with king queen suited. The table also sees this person winning and are waiting for a hand to crack this player.

Well i played poker with a guy the other night and his comment to me was he does not like to quit the game of poker till the game breaks or he has all the chips on the table. What a bold statement i said and due to the way he was playing i saw why. He got under players skin and got them to push with bad hands. The reason he talked them into calling and of course he had monster like i did a swell. the flop was king 5 8 rainbow i bet get called 3 players. The turn was a king i bet another player calls and the player under the skin goes all in. What should i do i have king queen so i call.

You might already know what this is but if you do not here is a simple lesson on board texture. When playing this game some times you have hand like pocket aces of pocket kings and the flop always comes low cards like 456 or you have kings and an ace hits the flop. Well what is this just madness or can you say to yourself there is no way someone called my raise pre flop with 7 8 off suit. Maybe call my raise with ace 4 off suit. Well we hate to tell you and you have seen it enough times that yes they will.

The other day i was playing poker and a friend of mine said hey i am going to squeeze you guys all night long. I looked at him and said your crazy your just going to lose all your chips but then i had and idea. My idea was to limp in with big hands and let him try to squeeze which he did. Of course i got all his chips at the end of the night. The part of the story i didn't like was him saying he was going to squeeze play us all night. If he did not say anything than i think it would of worked but

I think there is reason why people call you when you are betting. They think they can beat you or hope you have they have the best hand. The other day i played a pot and raised pre flop. On the flop bet and on the river bet 2/3 of the pot. The guy called me all the way down with bottom pair and won. The board was king jack 8 the guy had 8 4 off suit. I ask this question again and again how can a player call when someone bets the whole way and the same bad answer i get from the player

I would first like to say i am sorry for the loss to the parents and loved ones of scotty does as we call him. He was a take charge kind of guy. He loved to play softball and of course like many of my friends lived his life to the fullest. Racing cars with number 00. Playing softball with the old 3 and 2 team. Many of fun and loving times with scotty to hottie will be missed. Scott when we played in poker was sometimes a tight player and sometimes a loose player. I loved playing with scotty

There is a time in your poker career that you have to learn from your mistakes. There is a time when you have to go back the the start of your poker game. There are many ways to win at poker. There are many styles to play. You should have a creative style that fits your poker ability. The one that fits my game the most is aggressive play.

When you play poker sometimes there are players you just cant bluff. There are players that don't read they just say hey i have a pair i know im good. There is a raise pre flop and they call on the flop they have bottom pair with lets say a 10 kicker and the player bets 350 into a 200 pot. The player calls and then going into the river calls off the rest of 200 in chips with bottom pair with 10 kicker. I sit back and look and say how the hell you call that. Here is why players call

how many times do you slow play and it bites you in the ass later on? How many times do you trap and it gets sprung on you? How many times do you make big bets and the guy has like 4 outs and calls and gets there? The answers to these questions are simple. We are trying to get the most value for our hand. How can you avoid this is a better question... If you are

There are many ways to throw in the towel and say i am beat in this hand. There are ways to see if you are beat. The easiest is when a player calls you pre flop, on the flop, on the turn, and then on the river pushes all in. Lets face it at what point did you think your hand was good. Hit a straight on the flop turn a pair and river a flush. There are many things that can beat you like if you have a 8 high flush. Its easy just to lay your hand down. Its like when you raise 11 times the blinds a player calls and an ace hits the flop you have ace king.

We all have done it someone got a two outer on the river. Someone pushed all in with aces when you had a set of queens. They get called on the river with ace high and get caught in a bluff.
