What Are The Differences Between Tournament And Ring Game Play?

September 14th, 2009 Poker Rigged No comments

One of the most common mistakes that poker players make is using the same strategy when playing ring games and tournaments. Poker is poker, right? If it works in a ring game, it should work in a multi table tournament, right? Sadly, the answer is no.

It is true that in both games you are playing poker online. But, the goals are totally different. When playing in a tournament, you need to survive and collect all the chips. But in a ring game, you are just trying to accumulate chips, and it doesn’t matter if you bust out, because you can just buy back in.

One of the main strategy differences between the two games is the use of the ICM (independent chip model) and pot odds. In a ring game, the chips have a monetary value, and they never change. But, in a tournament with a fixed buy in, the monetary value of the chips are always changing, as per the ICM. The ICM doesn’t apply in a ring game, but it is very important in a tournament.

The same thing goes for pot odds. In a ring game, you should always make plays based on pot odds. But, in a tournament, even if you are getting the right odds to call, it might be a better idea to fold, based on the remaining chip stacks and the amount of players left. Don’t be mistaken in thinking that ring game and tournament poker are the same. They are very different!

Skill versus Luck in Poker

August 29th, 2009 Poker Rigged 1 comment

One of the greatest debates that has stemmed from the online poker era is of course whether or not winning at poker requires skill or just lots of luck. Many people feel online poker rooms are actually rigged to set up hands that encourage large pots so that they can take a larger rake, meaning that neither skill nor luck comes into play. However for this article we will put this thought process aside, as I have personally never seen any evidence of it and I have been playing online poker for nearly ten years and at close to twenty game operators.

Now that we got that out of the way, what exactly does it take to win at poker; skill or luck? Well I can personally say I have been in the midst of this heated debate at several online poker rooms, and no matter how much I try to convince people, they just do not believe my point of view. If you run out of luck, the only thing you can rely on is rakeback. All winners and losers for example will receive 30 % Absolute rakeback paid to their poker account at the end of each month. So, I have written this article in hopes of reaching out to these people and explaining that luck truly has little to do with being a good poker player, and a whole lot to do with being a skillful poker player.

Believe it or not there is actually a lot to know in order to be a good poker player. Call what you want, theory, science, genius, it doesn’t really matter, but being a good poker player requires it. While anyone can play a game of poker and win some money, or enter a poker tournament and win a million dollars, unless they know that strategies involved with being a good poker player they relying on old lady luck to bring them their winnings. Of course knowing these strategies does not mean you will always come out on top, or even always win money, it does mean that in the long run you will be able to make playing poker a profitable endeavour.

Unlike most sports (yes, poker is now considered a sport by many), the skills required to be a professional poker player do have to be supernatural, they can in fact be learned by anybody willing to put the leg work in and actually learn and practice them. So what exactly are these skills and strategies I speak of? There have actually been many, and I mean many, books and DVD series created to try and teach people these theories. That being said it would impossible to give you that much information in such a brief article, however I will gladly give you a very useful pointer so that you will no longer have to depend wholly on luck to win money at poker.

The largest, most important, and hardest to master skill of being a good poker player is patience. If learned and used patience can your absolute best friend at the poker table, if ignored patience will be your worst enemy at the poker table. What exactly does that mean? Well, a lot of people who play poker today have learned how to play from watching poker on TV. Here we see hand after hand of massive pots being played one right after the other. In reality, there are likely ten to fifteen hands played in between the ones we see where everyone folded to the person in the big blind position of to the person who raised the pot. We do not see these because they are quite boring and would make for terrible television. The result however, is viewers watching and thinking they are seeing every hand.

In reality, a good and skilled poker player folds 80-90% of their hands even before seeing the flop. They do this knowing that they could luck out and make a hand with the cards from the flop, turn, and river, but also knowing that for the most part if they play the hand they will lose money on it. Instead, skilled poker players usually will only play pocket pairs, ace-king, ace-queen, or an ace that is with another card from its suit giving them the opportunity to make an ace high flush.

There are of course exceptions to every rule, and this one is no different. When you are down only two or three players at a table then you can expand the amount of starting hands you are willing to play. The same is true if you are in positioned in one of the blinds locations and can simply check your way into seeing the flop, or continue into the hand by upping your small blind to the amount of the big blind. But for the most part, a skilled poker player will stick to playing these hands, and if they do waiver, you can rest assured they have a very good reason to be doing so.

Fish and Sharks in the Poker Food Chain

August 14th, 2009 Poker Rigged No comments

For some reason, in poker it’s all about sea food.  If you’re bad, you’re a fish. If you’re good, you’re a shark. Sharks are not fish but mammals, as we all know very well thank you. So when you dive into the big fish pond for the first time, realize that you’ll tend to be a snack to start with. The only way of evolving from shrimp to mammal is by improving your game. If you make a real effort to learn poker. you can start moving up the poker food chain. This is both a lot of fun and potentially profitable. So what does a regular flatfish has to do to join the big “poker school” (pun intended) and move into deep-sea fishing?

The key to success is threefold:
•    Playing.
•    Reading books.
•    Watching instructional poker videos.

You can only get this far by reading about it. Even if you know all species in the poker ocean, you’re still just a puny fish if you haven’t done a whole lot of swimming around in the fish tank. On the other hand, you could swim around for eons without ever understanding why your teeth don’t start growing. By reading books (and online poker forums as well), you’ll get a much better understanding for the inner workings of the marine biology that you’re dependent on.
Experienced authors can change your perspectives on things in a deep-going way. By reading you can expand your depth of thought about poker.Then, of course, watching professional deep ones play online poker and commenting on their moves, now that’s a very good school to swim in.

Instructional poker videos are actually one of the few things on the internet that poker players are willing to pay for.
A last word of advice: If you know some successful players, don’t miss any opportunity to make in-depth Interviews with them. Soon you’ll be the one eating snacks!

Poker calculator for devising strategies

July 31st, 2009 Poker Rigged No comments

If you are looking to improve your Texas Hold’em game & Poker Strategy an online poker calculator is a great tool to improve your game. Sit n Goes are short poker tournaments usually single table with 10 or less players. Most online professional players play multiple sit n goes at once, often 5-10 at the same time. How can they do this and still pay attention to each table making the correct decision?

Well first off, professional players spend time studying Sit n Go strategy. They learn poker strategy from online poker schools and books but also use poker calculators or other tools to do analysis while they play. While studying away from the tables will make you a better player, using a math based poker calculator when you are first learning poker will make you a better Sit n Go player. Depending on how many chips you have at each point in a Sit n Go there is often a definite right and wrong play. Unlike cash game poker where you often have a lot more money in front of you compared to the blinds, in Sit n Gos you are usually “short stacked” or low on chips throughout the whole tournament. When playing with short stacks, poker decisions have a lot more to do with math then instinct or reads. For example, if you have 500 chips left and the blinds are already 50/100 you can’t just sit back and survive hoping to hit a good hand. Instead the best strategy is to use frequent blind steals. But how do you decide when and where to make these steals? By studying poker math professionals learn how to avoid getting blinded off in a poker tournament. There are some situations where no matter what your hand is you should push all-in in an attempt to improve your chip stack. The less chips you have in comparison to the blinds the more you want to be shoving all in to steal them.

Because you have such a short time to make decisions professional players don’t do math problems while they are at the tables. Instead, they teach themselves the correct strategy for each stack size. Some players also sharpen their poker skills by playing free poker online and be better prepared. Since these calculations are impossible to do in 30 seconds, players use poker calculators while they are learning sit n go poker. After you have a lot of Sit n Go experience you will eventually memorize the correct mathematical play, but until then you’ll need a tool to help you make correct decisions. You should consider a poker calculator today to help you play better and to play more tournaments at once.
