Today there is nothing early I can see. The split between early and late plays is about 50-50 and I would expect that to continue through the rest of the season. These late plays are FREE. Just send me your email address and I will add you to the group receiving late plays.Poker Comments:check or betBefore Puggy Pearson passed away last year I had played quite a bit with him and got to know him. Although I had played with him a few times 20 to 30 years ago in his later years he only played mid limits and was way past his prime.Its always interesting to play with the old timers that have been around hustling poker not only are they colorful and unique but they also come up with some good informative comments. One comment that he made to me that stuck with me and I have used quite often is...."its more dangerous to check then to bet"He told me this a number of times but after thinking about it his advice holds a lot of truth to it. First if your head up a bet might win the pot...but m...

Just send me your email address and I will add you to the group receiving late plays.Poker Comments:1 additional questionWhen your playing and are faced with a decision your asking your self what possible range of hands does my opponent have. There is an additional question you can ask if your up against an average to above average opponent...and that is what does he think I have. If you come to the conclusion that your opponent is highly likely to think you have a very strong hand and you get check raised on the turn , this would be an indication your probably beat. But if you haven't shown any strength and get check raised on the turn...then...its a more difficult decision since your opponent may very well think your weak.This comes up in a variety of situations. One caveat is that there are som...

Perhaps it might be some solid winning player showing up one day and playing like a complete lunatic and blowing off a lot of money, or it might be a player playing for 3 days straight in a 40-80 game and losing 25,000, or it might even be yourself at the end of a tough tough day loosening up and losing more money then you should of that day trying to get even.There are many people that live their lives and don't even consider making a bet, playing poker for money or ...

All things being equal its great to have loose crazy players in the game.But there are a few things to keep in mind. 1. Variance in the game increases dramatically. So if your on the on a short bankroll and playing a little higher then you should your risk of losing your bankroll increases substantially.2. In a casino environment especially Omaha 8 you get so few hands out per hour that in the entire scheme of things there is still going to be a...

It takes steady observation to be able to discern these but its well worth the effort in dollars won and saved.Ideally against top players you should have some sort of randomization scheme to randomize your play. It would really be tough if every player at the table was looking for patterns in your betting. But the reality is at the mid to lower limits many of the players are only playing there own hand or there analysis is so rudimentary it dosnt come into play.Some of the patterns you look for:1.

And it is your task to determine who falls into that category at the table. Once you do the decisions you need to make will be much easier.Just think how easy poker would be if people had what they represented all of the time. If you just pay attention you will find that most at the low and medium levels play just that way. Most cant wait one way or another to let you know they got you.When I sit down at a table one of the things I do is categorize players into tricky or non tricky. In holdem this is much more difficult to do because even at medium limits you will find many tric...

When you play you see all types of players and the top professionals take losing in stride. There is no way to avoid losing sessions and bad beats. Believe me when I tell you no one is going to give you any sympathy when your losing. Also no one wants to hear how bad your doing or the bad beats you have been getting. The best approach is not let anyone know if you happen to be running bad. Keep it to yourself and ride through it. I have seen poker players with a lot experience get mad when they lose. Its almost as though they have no concept of what is occurring. Try not to be one of those types. You know you have come a long way wh...

The tip is the better the winner you are ie. no gloating, telling people how bad they play, telling people how good you play, laughing when you win big pots, etc...you get the message... the better its going to be for you when the lights go out ...

So if your sick, or something is bothering you, or your not in the mood to give it 100 percent just relax and take a day off.I don't know how many times I have come into play poker when I was much less then 100 percent and was tortured with a miserable session. My rule of thumb now is if i am not in the frame of mind to be able to sit through a nightmare day of 8 to 10 hours of losing poker and maintain my sanity..I just dont go in.

1 play tonight in mlb977 - G. Floyd978 MIN - B. Bonser -108Poker Comments:I received the following email the other day:"A week ago in your poker comments you said running bad had nothing to do with luck, just simple probabilities. I was wondering what the difference between the two are. Why shouldn't bad beats be considered unlucky?"I guess the answer all depends on how you define luck.Luck is defined as "The chance happening of fortunate or adverse events". If someone is drawing to a 2 outer to beat you and hits it is that a chance happening? The 2 outer is a foreseeable event since the probabilities are 1 out of 20 that the person is going to outdraw you. Luck by my way of thinking is something that happens to you that is not foreseeable. When you play poker for any length of time you are going to have extended losing streaks along with extended winning streaks, you are going to get beat by 1 outers and runner runner full houses...my opinion is that this is not luck but...

You will play with people with PHDs to no education at all. From movie stars, doctors and lawyers,computer professionals to people that have no job and never worked except to play poker or hustle. (it used to be that many of the best players were ones with no formal education and hustled for a living. That has changed somewhat with phd types taking poker seriously now)You will play with people that have never gotten even a speeding ticket to people with many felony convictions and may even have several criminal endeavors as a pa...

We won our Houston +145 on tues and tonight 1 more play in mlb959 - C. Hamels960 MIL - D. Bush +128Poker Comments:Playing the RushIts probably best to define what a rush is first. The 2 extremes of this concept are 1. a player I played with for years in the Midwest after winning a nice pot automatically played the next regardless of what his hand was. Once in a great while he won a number of hands in a row but the usual outcome was blowing off a good some of the profits from the hand he won.The other extreme of course are the computers playing against each other. Each hand is independent of the last hand. They play each hand based upon the tendencies of there opponents play and the expected value in the card the possess.I define a rush as getting good cards and winning with them. I don't loosen my standards very much after I win a pot. Winnings are two hard to come by to throw it at a pot with a substandard hand.Now there are times I will play borderline hands after winnin...

No early plays today. We had 1 play on Sunday and it won. Minn under 9 -110Poker comments:I received an email from a person in there early 20s asking my thoughts as to the advantages of moving to las vegas to make a living playing poker as a pro. He was in college majoring in accounting, single, and had plans to become a cpa and then practice in an accounting firm. He plays poker in home games with some success. Loves to play. And has been out to Vegas a few times and won each time he has been out here.Not only do I have thoughts but very strong opinions on the subject. In short...dont't even consider it!!!!! And if there is no way you can get it out of your head...get counseling...Immediately.Its not only because the odds of making it in Las Vegas as a pro and living comfortable are so big...I would handicap it at around 1000-1 against... but do you really want to turn 60 as I have and say for the last 40 years you have spent almost your whole life playing cards?I am probably a go...

1 play today in mlb925 CLE - P. Byrd926 MIN - S. Baker under 9 -110Poker comments:When to quit a session.The time to quit a poker session is when you start getting tired and it effects your play, when the game gets bad ie no live players in the game, or when you for whatever reason stop playing at an optimum level.Human nature what it is though many players dont let any of the above effect there decision to quit or play on. From what I have seen the major factor that many players use as a criteria is are they ahead or behind.When most players get ahead they start looking for any excuse to quit. But that same player get him loser and not only does he keep playing the but more the player gets stuck..the worse he plays trying to get even.Human nature probably besides the rake is the players biggest opponent!!!!!Remember those computers playing each other....the best programmer is going to win in the long run. No quiting they just keep playing until the set level of hands is finished. S...

Tonight 1 play in mlb907 - B. Sheets908 CIN - B. Arroyo +115Poker Comments:Running BadAssuming your a winning player running bad is simply being on the wrong side of the probability curve. Its variance at work. It has nothing to do with luck..but simply probabilities.You can run bad much longer then you can imagine. And in many cases if your not using good money management in limit selection much longer then your bankroll can hold out.Running bad can not only take its toll on you financially but also emotionally. Only the top seasoned players can run bad for any length of time and not have it effect there game. Just imagine going in to play and playing 8 to 10 hours a day and losing 30 days in a row.The best way to take a bad run of cards is to take a break now and then from the game. Not that this will change the run of cards but will help your attitude the next time you come in to play. I have the mumble rule that I use. If I go home mumbling to myself its time to take the ...
