Poker Quotes

The poker player learns that sometimes both science and common sense are wrong; that the bumblebee can fly; that, perhaps, one should never trust an expert; that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of by those with an academic bent. ~David Mamet

Profiting from mistakes in poker.

I'm sure you've heard that "poker is a game that takes minutes to learn but a lifetime to master." The rules are relatively simple and easily explained and most people become proficient at the basics fairly quickly. With basic strategy almost anyone can become a break even player fairly quickly. Understanding the nuances of the game and being able to recognize opportunities to exploit your opponents weaknesses takes experience. Ten thousand hands would be a good start. It is this experience that gives you a the sense that your opponent will lay down a winning hand if you come over the top with a big reraise or tells you that your pocket aces just aren't good enough and to fold. The problem is that if you aren't careful experience can fool you. Because there is an element of chance in all forms of poker much of the outcome of a decision is out of your hands. Some percentage of the time you will make the right decision and lose the hand. Suffer a bad beat in other words. Bad beats aren't necessarily a bad thing, because if you can keep from going on tilt, it means your opponent was putting his money in when he was an underdog. If your opponent do this consistently then over time they will make you very rich! Sometimes you make a bad decision and benefit from it. In other words you make a play that over time is statistically a loser but win the hand anyway. Mistakes are part of being human and will happen no matter how good you become. Occasionally you will get lucky and not pay for your mistakes. The problem is when you either don't recognize the error or chose the believe that it was your superior skill instead of dumb luck that allowed you to win the hand. If you make a routine of this type of hubris you will develop habits and leaks in your game that will cause you to go broke no matter how developed your other skills are. Remember to evaluate your decisions independent of the outcome. Going when your pocket aces trip up on the flop is rarely a bad decision. Calling an all in bet from a strong player with your middle pair is almost always a bad idea even if you catch a runner, runner straight and win the hand. Getting lucky from time time is one of the greatest pleasures in poker, just don't make getting luck a key part of your strategy.

Continuation Bets In No Limit Texas Hold'em

When you raise pre-flop in a game of No-Limit Hold 'em and are called, you're faced with a decision when the flop hits the board. Should you put out a continuation bet on the flop or should you check and hope to see the turn for free? There are a variety of factors that will effect any decision in a hand of poker, but if I was the one who raised pre-flop, I'll put out a continuation bet on the flop most of the time. Preflop, I normally raise to three times the big blind, then on the flop, I'll put out a bet of the same amount. When I bet these relatively small sums, I don't put a whole lot at risk. If I get check-raised on a flop that I missed, I can fold without having lost a whole lot of chips. Most of the time, however, my opponents will have missed the flop, so my small bet will win me the pot right there. While I prefer to put out continuation bets on most flops, there are some situations where checking is the right play. For example, say I raised with K-J and was called by the big blind. The flop of A-T-5 gives me a gutshot straight draw. I know my opponent in the hand likes to check-raise on top pair. When he checks to me on the flop, I'm happy to check behind and have the free draw to the nuts. If my opponent hit something like two-pair, I could double up if the Queen comes on the turn. I also tend to check the flop in hands where I'm either very far ahead or very behind. Say I raise pre-flop in late position with pocket Kings. The flop comes A-J-3. Here, my pair of Kings is either very far ahead (if he missed completely or has something like pocket 5s) or is very far behind (if he hit an Ace). In a spot like this, I don't want to get check-raised and I don't want to just give up, so I'll often check the flop and then call a bet on the turn. I can then try to get a read on my opponent if he bets the river. The worst thing I can do in this sort of situation is to put out a big bet on the flop and then call an all-in check-raise. As with every aspect of poker, it's vital that your continuation bets don't become predictable. If you check every time you miss and bet every time you make top pair or better, then you're opponents will know exactly how to play against you. They'll be able to bet any pair with total confidence. So occasionally, you'll want to check when you hit top pair on the flop. Your hand will be disguised and you'll stand to win a big pot if you hit trips on the turn. Showing that you can sometimes check a good hand will keep your opponents off balance. It's a good idea to put out frequent continuation bets, but also be sure to look for spots where a check may be to your advantage. If you've got a draw or hold a hand that will be difficult to play for a raise, a flop check may be your best play. Also be sure to mix up your play - being unpredictable is vital to playing winning poker. Featured Poker Rooms: Absolute Poker Full Tilt Poker PokerStars UltimateBet

$50 to $50k The Best Way to Build Your Poker Bankroll

How big of a bankroll do I need to quit my job and play poker for a living? And what is the best way to build a large poker bankroll when staring out with very little Cash? (Note: Read to the end of this message to learn how to get a free copy of $50 to $50k bankroll building secrets) First, your bankroll is the amount of money you've set aside to play poker with and is used for NO other purpose. You will cash out profits but you need to have a sufficient bank roll to keep income coming in. To keep from going broke in poker you need a bankroll large enough to get you through the inevitable losing streaks that all poker players face. Losing streaks happen to all poker players, even the best of us, so don’t be discouraged by them. Instead be prepared by having a bank roll large enough to get you through. For me that means having a bankroll 50 times the size of big blind for the level I'm playing in ring games or 100 times the buy-in for tournaments. For example; a $10,000 bank roll would allow me to play in a $25/$50 No Limit Holder ring game or a $100 buy in tournament. If my bankroll drops significantly below that amount I will drop down a level so I am never risking more than 1% of my bankroll at any given time. Other factors that determine the minimum size of your bankroll are thing like how aggressive you are at the poker table, if you play limit or no limit, your experience and skill level etc. If you have a regular full time job you don't need as large of a buffer as you would if poker was your sole source of income. Ten thousand dollars sound like a lot of money to set aside to play poker with. It is and it isn’t the pros you see playing poker on TV have million dollar bankrolls. But like me many of them got started with very little. Personally I started with $50 and built that into a bankroll that allows me to earn a full time income playing poker online. It took a lot of time and I made a lot of mistakes but I eventually discovered that the best games for bank roll building when you have less that a $1,000 to play with is “Sit and Go” tournaments. If I were forced to start over and rebuild my bankroll from scratch I would start by playing single table "Sit n Go's" until I built my bankroll up to at least $1000 and only then would I branch out into multi-table tournaments and ring games. There are many, many advantages to playing sit and go’s over ring games and large multi-table tournaments especially when starting with a small bankroll. However there are key differences in strategy that you MUST know to profit from them. It is these strategies that have allowed me to cash in on 4 out 5 sit and goes I play in. Unfortunately I don’t have the space here to go into detail about how to do this. Even I did and although I consider myself to be pretty good at both profiting from poker online and teaching others how to do it my friend Johnny ‘JR’ Rothman author of SIT-N-GO PRO is far better than I and is a true sit n go master. In fact when my students ask me how to profit from sit and go’s I direct them to his material. There is no equal. If you are serious about building a huge bankroll do yourself a favor and check out SIT-N-GO PRO right now. As always remember the point of playing poker for a living is to make a profit and have fun doing it. Until next time…MG P.S.
