Following on then from part one…. “If I bet $100-$130 then they might think that this bet is weak and re-raise me. I would like to bet more than the pot but I would hate to give this dude the pleasure of having sucked me in for half of my stack. If I check then [...]
Read MoreFollowing on from aggression part one
By now you should be starting to understand how important it is in poker to be aggressive. It is this aggression that will win you many pots uncontested. The problem with aggression is that it is starting to get to be a very well understood poker concept. The average poker player is getting far more [...]
Read MoreA No-Limit Hand from NL200
Digging into my Poker Office poker software database this week to find some material to write about, I discovered the following interesting poker hand that should prove instructive to many novices.

Later on, I tried to [...]
Betting Issue
The other night, there was a particular incident that almost caused a terrible fight among players.
Well, as I could remember, there was a small blind which was 30 and 60 as the big blind. The first player to supposedly act had only 61 chips, therefore with 61, he went all in.
In your opinion, how many [...]
Check and Raise in Holdem
I’m just a starting poker player and as of now I’m not yet so sure about some stuff particularly about check and raise in the same round of betting in regular poker. I know it’s not possible to check and raise in the same round of betting in regular games, but how about in Holdem?

Was it a Check Raise?
Up to this time while writing this, I’m still bothered about a certain situation that came up in one of our home games.
Well, three players were left in the pot and at the turn the 1st player to act bet. Eventually, the 2nd player to act called and then the 3rd player raised. [...]
On Poker Rules
Hello,
I’ve got here a few questions. Hope you could find some time to answer them. Thanks in advance.
For an instance, the blinds are 500 and 1,000 but the person who is supposed to be the big blind has only about 800 to post and a number of players are still on board. I don’t know [...]
