The Mindset of a Winner
Kristy Gazes
Oct 23, 2006

As I discussed in a previous tip, my money management skills are
good. So when I hit the inevitable losing streak, I don't risk going
broke. As far as I'm concerned, it's impossible to overstate the
importance of money management to your poker career.

Balancing Poker and Life
Clonie Gowen
Oct 16, 2006

Don't punish your partner over your bad play or bad luck. Let it go
when you walk away from the table. If you can't release that bad
energy quickly, then let your partner know that you need a little
while to cool off. Snapping at your partner isn't good for anyone.
Talk honestly about the pros and cons of serious poker.

Play More Pots
Erick Lindgren
Oct 9, 2006

In tournaments, I play lots of hands. I'll put my money in with all
kinds of connected cards, especially when in position. I might limp,
I might min-raise or raise a little more than the minimum,
depending on the circumstances. I'm looking to keep my table off
balance so they don't know where I'm coming from.

Heads-Up vs Multi-Way Hands
Andy Bloch
Oct 3, 2006

For this article, I want to discuss how the quality of your Omaha
Hi/Lo hand relates to the number of people in a pot. If you're playing
a multi-way pot, you need a very strong hand going one way or the
other. The nuts or a draw to the nuts is preferable. Absent that, in
multi-way pots, you want to have strong draws in both directions.

Playing Big Slick in Tournaments
Paul Wolfe
Sept 25, 2006

The real problem with A-K early on is that it's very difficult to get an
idea of where you're at in a hand. Even on an innocuous looking flop
of something like K-9-2, you may think your hand is good. But you
can't be sure.

Breaking Out of Your Comfort Zone
Ben Roberts
Sept 18, 2006

One of the smartest things these players can do is to stretch their
games and play at higher limits. With proper planning, and the right
approach, the rewards can be immeasurable. To that end, I have
some suggestions for players who are thinking about taking their
game to the next level.

Playing Cap Games
Howard Lederer
Sept 11, 2006

I am going to discuss some of the advantages of Cap Games over
traditional big-bet poker, then I'm going to cover some strategic
points that should help you when you first sit into a Cap Game. Most
players reach a point where they grow uncomfortable with the
thought of risking all the money they have in a single hand.

From No-Limit to Limit
Richard Brodie
Sept 4, 2006

In No-Limit, the biggest mistake you can make is putting
money in a pot when drawing dead or very slim. Usually, by
the turn or river, you'll face large bets that threaten your
entire stack, so calling on a second-best hand is a huge error.
In Limit Hold 'em, however, the biggest mistake you can make
is folding the best hand on the river.

Check-Raising on Draws
Steve Brecher
August 28, 2006

Rather than check-call, I often like to check-raise when I flop a
draw out of position. This sort of situation comes up most
frequently when playing from the blinds. For example, say that I'm
in the big blind with Ad-6d and I call a raise from a late position
player who popped it to three times the big blind.

Playing the Main Event
Gus Hansen
July 31, 2006

In the early stages of a large tournament like the Main Event,
chances are you'll be seated with nine players who are complete
strangers to you. Most of them will probably not be all that strong.
Also, at this point in the event, you'll have a lot of chips compared to
the size of the blinds. In these portions of the tournament, you
should try to slowly build your stack.

Playing Pot-Limit Tournaments
Rafe Furst
July 17, 2006

There are two major differences between Pot-Limit and No-Limit
Hold 'em tournaments. The first is that simply declaring "all-in"
usually isn't an option. You can only bet the amount that's in the pot.
(For an open-raise, the pot size is seven times the small blind.) In
No-Limit tournaments, when a player is on a short stack, he will
often move all-in.

A Big Stack Mistake at the 2006 WSOP
Phil Gordon
July 3, 2006

Sure, Ace-King is a strong hand, but it's no better than a three to
one favorite over something like Ace-Queen. Against other hands
my opponent could have held, like pocket 10s or Jacks, it's a slight
underdog. There were also factors beyond the math that I should
have considered.

Big Blind Play in Limit Hold 'em
Jennifer Harman
June 12, 2006

In Limit Hold 'em, the big blind is one of the toughest position to
play. You're out of position, and that's never a good thing, but
usually, you'll be getting excellent odds to continue with the hand.
Against a single opponent who has raised, you'll be getting better
than 3 to 1 and, in most hands, you're no more than a 2 to 1 dog.

Why I Prefer Cash Games to
Tournaments
Huckleberry Seed
April 24, 2006

In tournaments, you're constantly moving. The tournament director
may move you so that he can balance tables, or your table may
break. So, even if you've been attentive to your opponents'
tendencies, there's a good chance that you won't be able to exploit
the information you've gained.
