EPT Grand Finals Begin in Monte Carlo

May 2, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment 

The EPT Grand Final is about to begin in Monte Carlo. Poker pros from all over the world gather in the tiny Mediterranean kingdom to battle it out – while enjoying life big time.

Poker has been called “a hard way to make an easy living”, and anyone who’s tried it knows that there’s some truth to this. At times, though, life in the fast lane of professional poker is just really easy.
Life is easy as hell

David Williams arrived in the Nice airport and took a helicopter to Monaco and his room at five star hotel “Le Meridien” – despite being afraid of heights.

Evelyn Ng lost a chocolate croissant to a huge seagull that flew in through the window and snatched it from her room at the Monte Carlo Bay – also five stars.

Now the Mediterranean sun has come out behind light morning clouds. Some players hit the pool while others sit down to play tournament poker. Day 1A of the EPT Grand Final is about to start.
Role model for Las Vegas

For centuries, this classic place has been providing ultra-easy life for people in the very fastest lanes of life. Luxurious hotels, fine dining, wonderful beaches and of course, ultra high stakes gambling of all kinds – Monaco truly is the elegant older brother of Las Vegas.

Usually there’s not much poker to be found in the Monegasque casinos, but when the professional poker circuit hits town, this detail is taken care of.

The buy-in to the EPT Grand Final is €10,000 (around $14,000). Besides that, the side action will go wild, and the town will get to see some ultra high stakes cash games in luxury suites of various five star hotels.
Ultra high stakes action

Expect to see sit-and-gos with buy-ins at $10,000 and China poker at $1,000 per point. That’s standard. Also, rumor has it a guy called Cheescake is setting up a game of high stakes HORSE. We’ll tell you more when we catch any news.

It’s in the small and de facto-French town of Monte Carlo that Season 5 of the European Poker Tour will end in a big bang grand final in the days to come. It’s about to start right now. The roof just opened to allow sunlight and fresh air into the fancy parlor. What a show!

The last days of competition will be sent live over the internet on Poker Stars TV. That’s poker television at its very best.

Semi-Bluffing

February 25, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment 

Semi-bluffing is one of the first steps that new poker players take after realizing they need to stop being calling machines and employ some creativity in there game.  properly working these opportunities could be the difference between a good session and a great session.  not every table is right for profitable semi-bluffing, but when you find one that is, it can pay at a much higher rate than the expected one or two big bets per hour.
The concept of the semi-bluff is simple.  Instead of calling a bet and hoping for a card to come because you have outs, you bluff at the pot instead.  It’s called semi-bluff because you still have outs to win the hand, but currently have nothing or very little.
This play has three advantages.  By betting, you often pick up a pot because no one else has hit the flop.  Secondly, you often control the size of the bet by betting out because players (especially the one currently in the lead) will be fearful of the bet and will usually just call, allowing you a cheaper draw than the current leader may have bet.  And finally, you mask what your hand is by betting on a draw.  If that draw hits, you’re in position for a big payoff from an opponent who has been letting you bet into their lead because it will be difficult for that player to put you on your hand.
Semi-bluffing would include betting out flush and straight draws, as well as betting second pair and even two over cards, if there were no previous bets.  This aggressive method is only profitable if the players at the table react the way you want them to.
It’s required that you know your opponents and that you create the illusion that you are a tight player.  You do this by only showing good cards at showdown.  If you can establish yourself as a tight player, tight opponents will fold to your bet.
Once you start to bet your draws and small pairs, your opponents will stay away and you will pick up lots of small pots.  This can go on as long as your opponents allow it.
Remember, never show any of these rag hands you’re winning with, just because you’re getting everyone to fold.  You will still continue to get good starting hands that will pay you at showdown, make sure these are the hands everyone gets to see.  It’s important to maintain the illusion of a tight player to maximize your semi-bluffing opportunities.
The best semi-bluff situations are when the flop has come off in a manner that would not help a hand of big cards.  Most players that see a flop are playing big cards.  Let’s say you decided to play 8, 9 and a flop like 7, 2, 4 comes off.  This is often a good situation to bet because your opponents are likely to be on two over cards.  Depending on the size of your bet, you can force the other players off the pot, or if you do get called, you could hit your straight for a big payoff.
The semi-bluff is the grinder’s meat and potatoes.  It’s a tactic used by most players of quality to some degree.  Employ it in your game and you’ll see how it can pay off in a big way.
Make your bets big enough to fold to with over cards, and small enough not to break you if you do run into a monster and have to fold to a raise.  Don’t be afraid to force the action when you can.

Advanced Poker Strategies

February 25, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment 

The average poker player gets together with his poker buddies once or twice a month and maybe plays a bit online.  They treat poker like a game of pool or darts, and they think they’re good players, but they never take any steps to improve.  Anyone can bet top pair and suffer beats, but if you want to be able to dominate your home game or become a winning player online or at the casino, you have to educate yourself and learn the advanced strategies of the game.  There is plenty to learn about poker, and it takes years of play and reading before a person has an understanding of how to best play in most poker settings.  Here are the most important advanced strategies to learn.
The first thing to do is to start to document your play.  You can’t clean up your game without knowing exactly where your play is.  You have to find out how much you’re losing and where and why you’re losing it.  Documented poker histories show you where the leaks in your game are, allowing you to correct faults in your play over time until you’re playing the optimum way possible in every table situation.  You can get stats of all your hand histories from online poker rooms, and you should track all your buy-ins and cash outs.  Weak player lists can also come in handy.
You should also be learning about pot odds and practicing the hand percentages as you play.  You should be trying to learn how to limit your gambling situations to where you have a favorable percentage of winning.  And you should be learning about getting percentages on your stack size versus another in a tournament game.  The mathematics of poker is something that every player can learn and implement.  This adds consistency to your game and will improve your long-term results.
Recognizing better patters is another advanced poker strategy.  This is how good players learn to put opponents on hands.  Understanding how typical hands are played, especially from opponents who repeat their habits often, is the method that good players use to figure out what opponents are holding.  It’s about taking the time to run through the entire hand so you can dissect what each action was on each street, in order to put them on a type of hand that would make the most sense.  It’s also the best method for sniffing out a bluff that an opponent might be attempting.
The next level of poker playing also requires an understanding of bankroll management.  If you’re serious about playing poker, you should be playing at the proper limits for the money you have.  you should be playing in games where you have at least two hundred times the big blind, and tournament buy-ins shouldn’t exceed 15% of your total playing roll.  Otherwise you put yourself into a situation where you can easily go broke from a bad run of cards.  And being out of the game is not the way to get better.
There is plenty of literature available on how to get better at poker.  Buy some books and learn the next levels of play.  Study pot charts and practice putting other players on hands by the way they bet on each street.  Learn to manage your money so you can stay in the game and keep records of all this so you can see where you make your mistakes as you play.  If you can put all that together, success at poker will be part of your reality.

Winning Your First Poker Tournament

February 24, 2009 by admin · 1 Comment 

Winning a poker tournament with hundreds or thousands of other participants can seem like a daunting task.  Here are some quick tips on making your next multi-table tournament a success.
Early On:
If you don’t go crazy early on, you should be able to pick up a pot here and there to survive.

1.  Play tight at the beginning while learning about your fellow players.  You don’t know who’s wild and who’s insanely tight yet, so don’t get involved in too many big pots until you’ve got a few players figured out.

2.  Be aggressive when you have good cards.  make the most of your premium hands when you get them, but don’t take any unnecessary risks.  Do not pay to see if another player might be bluffing, and avoid making too many bluffs yourself.

3.  In the early round, don’t go all-in pre-flop.  It doesn’t matter if you’ve got A-A, K-K or 7-2.  Don’t make am all-in pre-flop at this stage of the tournament.  The field will be pretty watered down early on and there’s likely at lease one maniac out there ready to call you with 8-4 and luck out a winner.

4.  If the bet has been raised pre-flop, only call if you’re holding one of these hands: A-A, K-K, Q-Q, A-K or A-K to A-10 suited.

Middle of the Road:
When you hit the middle rounds of the tournament, bear down because you’ve still got a long way to go before you hit the big-money positions.  Hopefully, most of the maniacs and fish should have been hooked by now; so the play should level off.
1.  Don’t be too worried about chip counts.  With the blinds increasing, there can be huge chip savings from hand-to-hand.  Keep your cool if your stack isn’t huge and wait for a big win to bump you up among the leaders.
2.  The blinds are getting up there, so make sure to stay aggressive and go after the pot or blinds more often since they actually have value now.  use your position to your advantage.
3.  Keep your bluffs to a minimum.  Look for prime opportunities to bluff, and avoid bluffing when it might be a suspect play. A lot of hand still go to the showdown at this stage, so a successful bluff is still difficult to pull off.
4.  If the flop doesn’t help your hand, your best move is almost always to fold.  Only stick around if you have great odds on a draw or if you think the flop did nothing for your opponent’s hand and you can beat them down the line of make them fold.
The Final Table:
You’ve made it.  you played it smart and grinded it out and made it to the final table.
1.  If you’re in the chip lead, don’t play too loose because the blinds alone can hurt your stack if your big bets keep getting called or raised.
2.  If you’ve got good cards pre-flop, make an attempt at the blinds with a solid raise.  Stay aggressive and try to rule the table.  However, if the cards aren’t there, don’t be afraid to fold.
3.  If you’re a short stack, try to wait for premium cards and push all of your chips in.  If you don’t make a play with good cards, the blinds will catch up to you quickly and you could be forced all-in with nothing.  If you get knocked out, go out swinging on your own terms.
4.  Chip stacks are very important now.  If you have more chips than your opponents, make them pay to stay in the hand.  If you have a hand, bet the amount of the lowest stack at the table.

Poker Tournament Types

February 22, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment 

Poker tournaments come in many different sizes and types.  If you can play one type of poker tournament, you can easily learn how to play any other type, because there really isn’t that much difference between them all.
Almost all tournaments have a buy-in and a fee you must pay to play.  The buy-in is the money that goes into the pot, while the fee goes to the casino or poker room hosting the tournament.  Everyone begins a tournament with the same amount of chips.  Once all your chips are gone, you are eliminated from the tournament, unless the tournament offers re-buys, which we’ll get into later.  The number of players that get a portion of the pot is usually determined by the number of entries in a tournament.  There are many different formulas used to determine the money split, so make sure you check that out before signing up for any tournament.
Your most basic tournament is a simple multi-table tournament.  In this kind of event, the entrants are randomly placed at different tables.  As more and more players are eliminated, tables are broken down and combined to keep player numbers even.  The last player left standing wins the tournament and collects the largest piece of the prize pool.
A quick and very popular variety of tournament is a sit ’n go.  A sit ‘n go usually has no scheduled start time.  It begins once all the seats available are full.  Most sit ‘n go tournaments consist of one table, but there are some that are played at multiple tables but with far fewer players than in a normal-sized event.  Sit ‘n go tournaments are extremely popular online because players can jump into an event and be finished in a couple of hours or less.  This allows players to get in quick games whenever they have a few spar hours, unlike normal-sized tournaments which can take many hours or even days to finish.
Both regular and sit ‘n go tourneys can also be classified as re-buy and/or add-on tournaments.  In a re-buy tournament, a player can buy back into the tournament after they’ve been eliminated.  Some tournaments allow unlimited re-buys up to a certain level in the tournament, while others only allow one.  Most re-buy tournaments also allow for an add-on.  An add-on gives players the opportunity to buy more chips at a specific point in the tournament.  This is usually right after the re-buy period has ended.
Other types of poker tournaments include satellites, shootouts and speed.
A satellite tournament is not played for prize money, but for a free entry into another tournament or a very large prize.  Most people are familiar with satellite tournaments because a number of players gain entry into the World Serious of Poker by playing in satellites that might have only cost them a few dollars.
A shootout tournament is broken into rounds.  In a shootout, you do not move to other tables, and empty seats at your table are not filled when others are eliminated.  The last player standing at each table moves on to the next round.  The rounds continue until only one player remains.
A speed tournament can be played with any number of players and tables.  The only difference in a speed tournament is that the blinds go up at a much faster rate than in a normal event.  For example, in a normal tournament, the blinds might go up every 15 minutes, while in a speed tournament they would go up every 5 minutes.
