The most important thing I believe is to be able to read your opponents. If you can read the opponents your playing against you can adjust your game so you can milk their chips. Also if you are able to read the people your playing it is easier for you to know your behind thus making it easier for you to muck hands and stop people milking you.

I believe luck has a small part to play in poker but this is very small.

The best players in the world arent players that chuck all in all the time these players like to see a flop. I mean ok the odds of AK beating pocket 8s it says 46% against 54% but lets work it out basically to hit a A or K the odds or 7-1 the odds of hitting a straight are god knows but higher than 7-1. So your heads up pocket 8s goes all in Ive seen a player fold to preflop all ins and he shows you AK AQ 2s 3s 4s 5s 6s even because he knows you dont win a tournament by flipping a coin you win by playing the game hope he doesnt mind me using his name but MTTCASHMAN what a player you are you have really opened my eyes. I havent seen him in action when he is deepstacked he may call the with AK AQ 2s 3s 4s 5s 6s but the person knows how to get in the money on a regular basis.

wooow im so happy =)!!!!

im not a cash player at all… but this time i tried to play a bit in plo…

I bought some bit coin on Coinbase so I could deposit on BOL. I started the transaction on BOL and it gave me a long list of characters. Now I can’t figure out we’re to put that into Coinbase. Any help would be appreciated.

6-handed loose aggressive table with 100 bbs effective. Maniac Utg opens 5bbs next player three bets to 16 bbs. CO calls and Hero in SB shoves with QsQh. Three bettor folds and 3 players. Flop comes A 9 5. Utg villain shows A8o while the CO shows 33. I’ll make $$$ on these palookas but just not today! 😡

As you probably already heard, Mikhal Shalamov left the pokerstars team. He worked with PokerStars for 10 years, but now he decided to change his comfort zone.

Do you think he will become an ambassador for another poker room like GGPokeroK or some other?

Good players sometimes run bad. It’s the nature of this mercurial game. You can be crushing it for months and then go on a long losing streak for no apparent reason. I know. I’ve been there.

Just about everyone agrees that if extended downswings put a significant dent in your bankroll, you should consider playing in a smaller game so that you can recover your losses and then move back up to your regular game. That’s the plan. Unfortunately, it doesn’t always work out that way.

I’ve noticed that otherwise good players sometimes have a problem realizing that goal. For many reasons, players dropping down in stakes sometimes make one of five key errors when they do so. These errors would be bad under any circumstances, but when they’re made on a depleted bankroll after a long period of running badly, they can spell doom. So, let me first identify the five problems, and then show you five ways to fix them.

Daniel Negreanu expressed frustration with the distribution of cards on the WSOP.com poker site following Monday’s losing session against Doug Polk.

Day 29 was arguably the wildest session of them all. And that says something considering the intense back and forth nature of Day 28 on Friday. For quite some time, both players had over $120,000 on each of the two tables, the first time that has occurred.

Given the stack sizes that had accumulated throughout the session, Negreanu had perhaps his best opportunity to put a serious dent in Polk’s grudge match lead. But he squandered that chance, and he believes luck was a major contributing factor.
