Monday, November 29, 2010
There are essentially three reasons why you bet all three streets in no-limit Texas Hold’em deep stacked poker games. Most players are aware of two of these reasons but not the third. If you have a strong hand or the nuts then it is clearly in your interests to bet and raise on as many [...]

I have said before that I site hop constantly so using a tracker is of considerably less use to me than what it would be to other players. My biggest use of a tracker in Texas Hold’em is to help me get information on players before I sit down to play with them and this [...]

Here I want to teach you something that I feel is very important with regards Texas Hold’em poker.

Monday, December 8, 2008
Hello, I have something to ask about mucking. The other day, I played holdem with some colleagues. After all the cards were on the board, there were only two players in, player A and player B. Player A went all in while player B called, however, on the muck pile flipped his cards face up. [...]
