Brunson 10 at WSOP Event Five

admin — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 19:27:11 +0000

WSOP event #5 is the $1500 buy-in No Limit Hold ‘Em Shoot Out. This year’s entrant pool consisted of 2092 players each vying for a piece of the pie, many coming from Everest Poker Francais. And it’s a pretty impressive pie, with the total prize pool of $2,824,200, and first place taking home just over a cool half-million.

The big news of this event is that the Brunson 10 are dominating the stage right now. The Brunson 10 are a group of elite poker players picked by the ole’ Texas Dolly himself. They have topped the worldwide poker online ranking sites and have already raked in millions in winnings. The probability is good that the Texan himself has probably shared a few tips along the way.

In Event 5, Chris Moormanis sitting in first place at the end of day 1 with 161,000 chips, Zach Clark is holding his own, in 130th, and David Sands is also up there, holding the 47th spot down in terms of chips.

While Clark ended up being sent to the rail on Day 2, several of Brunson’s hand picked players still remain in the tournament. And even though Clark ended up busting out, he managed to take with him a small piece of the payout. Of course this means that the remaining players are all going to cash in the tournament, and that means they move up among their own ranks, as each cash at a WSOP event moves them up the Legends Leaderboard that Brunson keeps to rank his picks.

Limping in

Limping In Limping in is the act of buying into a online poker hand for the minimum bet. Let’s say the big blind at a online poker table is $5, then the minimum amount that you have to pay to play that hand is $5. In No Limit poker, you have the choice of folding, limping in for $5, or raising on top of that 5 bucks to however much you’d like. A lot of online poker players think that limping into a hand is the safest play to make. Since you’re putting the least amount of money at risk as possible, many players are loathe to bet any more than the minimum until they see if they’re going to hit the flop or not. The problem that arises with limping in is that it leaves you vulnerable to your opponents at the table. By limping in, you’re suggesting that you’re not very confident in your hand, which could (and often does) encourage your opponents to raise you pre-flop, which could either force you to fold or to bet more money than you’re willing to risk. Don’t give your opponents the advantage by limping in to pots: you’re better off folding more often and raising into pots with strong hands instead of limping in with hands that you’re not sure about.

If you think you’ve got the best pokerhand on the flop, that’s great, but your work isn’t done yet, because your opponents still have two more cards that can make their hand better than yours. When you see a flop you like, make sure you take care of it. Depending on the strength of your poker hand, there are several ways that you may want to play it.

If you’ve just flopped top pair and you’ve got a solid kicker, you may want to chase the rest of your opponents out with a big raise, especially if it looks like there may be a drawing hand out there. If you’ve got Ace of Diamonds and a K of Hearts and the flop comes out Ace of Spades, 5 of Spades, and 2 of Clubs, a big raise may be a good idea to chase out anyone with Spades in their hand.

If you’ve just flopped a monster, say your Ace-King was of Spades and the flop gives you a flush, you may want to slow play the hand with a check or a minimum bet to entice your opponents to stay in the hand or bet against you. Hopefully someone will draw two pair or a straight and start pouring chips into the pot.

Either way, once the flop hits you, make sure that you get the most out of it when you play poker online.

Semi-Bluff Bets

admin — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 13:50:38 +0000

There are two kinds of bluffs in poker: a naked bluff and a semi-bluff. The naked bluff is a raise based on nothing – the player has raggy cards and is just trying to scare away other players. The naked bluff is difficult to execute and requires acute powers of observation and the ability to create an image that influences other players’ reactions.

The semi-bluff is a raise made by a online poker player who is trying to scare off other players but who also has a draw that could materialize – outs to a straight, flush or other hand.

A semi-bluff works best from late position when the other players have checked ahead of you. When you make a semi-bluff, most marginal hands will fold. It will also make other players wary about betting when the next card outs come because they anticipate another raise from you.

If the field is small, down to heads-up or only two other poker online players, even if your draw misses, another raise could force them to fold. It’s possible your opponents’ were on a draw and missed too, and they will believe you already had a made hand that was not dependent on the draw.

Bluffing should only be executed with care, and a drawing hand semi-bluff against limpers or checkers sometimes wins the pot outright or creates a strong image that can be leveraged on later streets.

In every poker game, there are winners and losers. Some take home the money, some leave with empty wallets. That’s the way it is. However, some players after winning consistently, or who are new to the game, actually convince themselves they can’t lose. That is a dreadful mistake to make. Every poker player loses sometimes. If you are not ready to accept that you might lose, then you are not ready to play serious poker. You must be mentally prepared to lose, and sometimes to encounter a losing streak over multiple games. It happens. How do strong poker online players remain in the game when faced with one bad loss or a string of them? First of all, one must look at poker as one long, continuous game played over many years. There will be trends and spikes. Next, one must examine the reasons behind the losses in order to improve one’s game. Look for the leaks in your game. Have you grown lax about starter hand discipline? Do you play with the same people frequently who have now come to know you and your tactical style? Are there newer, stronger players entering the game, and have you adjusted to their play? Poker players must continually examine their game, and strive to improve it with new strategies and styles. When your are losing, then you need to take a hard look at yourself to find out why and take steps to correct your mistakes.

Best Hands for Cracking Aces

admin — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 18:30:28 +0000

We all love to pick up aces, but what almost certainly feels even better than looking down and seeing those rockets is cracking them with weirder cards. Any old fool can win with aces, but playing to crack them comes with the promise that when you make your poker hand, you will often get paid off in a great way.

The hands that aces most thoroughly dominates are the hands that other online poker players tend to push with. Big pairs and AK and AQ are very dominated, being more then a 6 to 1 dog. In fact, smaller pairs like sixes have a better chance against AA than pairs like KK do, as sometimes when the K does hit the Ace can end up making a straight, while a 6 will never help aces.

The best hand for cracking aces is jack ten suited, as it flops the nut straight more commonly than any other hand. Middle and small suited connectors like this have the best odds for breaking the big pair, which is why they are so commonly popular among pro online poker players. When you can get in for cheap with these cards it can be very valuable when you do make your hand, as the aces will often have to pay you off.
