Analysis on Phil Hellmuth’s Behavior

Date: Sun, Aug 9, 2009

When I watch Phil Hellmuth in interviews, he seems like a decent guy and I start to like him.  When I watch Phil Hellmuth at the poker tables, I can’t stand him.  Why is there such a large gap between Phil Hellmuth, the person, and Phil Hellmuth, the poker player? I was watching ESPN 2008 WSOP [...]

How to Play Texas Hold’em in 5 Minutes

Date: Sun, Aug 9, 2009

If I was to create a guide for someone that wanted to learn how to play Texas Hold’em in 5 minutes, this is what it would be: First, you’ve got to know the strength of hands and what beats what.  This includes both starting hands and on the board.  Visit a breakdown of the strength of [...]

WSOP 2009 Tournament of Champions

Date: Sat, Aug 8, 2009

Tom McEvoy was the champion among champions for 2009. For today’s blog I picked out some footage featuring Dan Harrington (one of my faves), Doyle Brunson, and Tom McEvoy. In the first hand of the video, Dan Harrington gets locked up with Carlos Mortenson. Both were extremely cautious during play and eventually Dan won [...]

Face the Ace Already Short Stacked?

Date: Thu, Aug 6, 2009

PokerNews had a feature column detailing disappointing ratings for FaceTheAce, the new NBC and Full Tilt Poker program. Here are the two glaring problems I see.  First, the pros don’t look like they care at all what happens (no pride factor).  Second, what average joe contestant is going to pass up $40,000 for possibly a 50/50 [...]

When to Scrap Conservative Poker Play

Date: Wed, Aug 5, 2009

To be a consistent winner in poker, it’s plain that you must be more aggressive than not. I mentioned how I was out almost a third of my stack on the second hand of the tournament and it had me on my heals for a long period until I made a few big plays. My [...]

Poker Discussion: How Can You Call That?

Date: Tue, Aug 4, 2009

When you play in unfamiliar settings, you’re never quite sure how other players will play you. I found out quickly how true that was at the 30 man tournament on Friday. With pocket jacks in the second or third hand and three callers in front of me, I wanted to eliminate any straggly [...]

How to Run a 30 Man Home Tournament

Date: Mon, Aug 3, 2009

Friday I played 4 hours in a 30 man No Limit tournament and finished a disappointing 9th.  Don’t get me wrong, I was glad I wasn’t out in 5 minutes like one guy, but to play for so long only to come 4 spots from the money leaves you feeling empty. The tournament was very structured [...]

Face The Ace: Play Hold’em Against Pros?

Date: Sun, Aug 2, 2009

Have you heard of the new poker show, FaceTheAce.com on NBC?  It hasn’t become common knowledge yet, but it sounds really cool.  Contestants will blindly select a pro to play against for $40,000  heads up.  If the contestant takes the contest, he or she will move on to face another pro for $200,000.  Then, if [...]

Is Rust a Real Factor in Poker?

Date: Fri, Jul 31, 2009

Once you learn Texas Hold’em, it’s not really something you forget, but can you get rusty at poker? I think in the sense that you lose your “feel” for the game, you can. By feel I mean the relationship between you and other players at the table and when you can steal their [...]

How to Play Pocket Jacks

Date: Fri, Jul 31, 2009

Pocket Jacks are a great but dangerous hand. While you start out as the fourth best hand in hold’em, you can easily get squashed by a raggedy Q5 or someone hanging around with an Ace behind them. Any KQ combination or above gets you at the mercy of a 50/50 situation. My advice is [...]

Sports Legends Poker Challenge Uses Spam

Date: Tue, Jul 28, 2009

I had two comments calling my attention to a spamming ring going on with Sports Legends Challenge, an upcoming poker tournament in the Bahamas presented by AbsolutePoker featuring poker pros and former athletes. As the official poker blogger watchdog of tropical sports tournaments everywhere, its my duty to look into these things. Here [...]

Preparation for a 30 Man Tournament

Date: Mon, Jul 27, 2009

I love poker! This Friday I’ll be in a 30 man, $30 buy-in tournament and I can’t wait to play.  I will be rusty (haven’t played in over a month) but I think this poker blog is going to help me prepare.  Before I go into my strategy, I want to first talk [...]
