WPT’s Fall Boot Camps

“Boot camp” is term generally given to the military training that turns a kid, whose greatest challenge in life was getting past the Nightmare level on Halo 2, into a well oiled fighting machine. This type of training usually involves trading one’s locks for a tacky camouflage wardrobe and the type of food that even a wiener dog would turn their nose up at. After 8 to 10 weeks of running, sweating, and getting yelled at by somebody who works out their personal issues by intimidating teenagers, boot camp is over and the cadet is transformed from a pile of useless goo into something their parents can be proud of. If this is the sort of experience you are looking for, the WPT boot camp is definitely not the place to be.

Poker After Dark - Durr Does It Again

The $100k buy in event featured the best players out there, such as Phil Hellmuth, Tom Dwan, Allen Cunningham, Guy Laliberte, Mike Baxter and David Peat. It was Baxter and Dwar who mixed it up before, and were destined to do it again in this particular hand.

Poker After Dark - Hard to Read

All the players at Poker After Dark’s the Cash Game show admitted one thing: Durr was hard to read. In the $100k buy in event Phil Hellmuth, Allen Cunningham, Guy Laliberte, Mike Baxter, and David Peat were playing with a crafty player better known for his skill online as Durr, but his real name was Tom Dwan.

Poker After Dark - Big Man Straight

When Poker After Dark started their new season, they started to bring in some new blood as well. In the Cash Game episode, where players paid $100k to play, Phil Hellmuth, Tom Dwan, Allen Cunningham, Guy Laliberte, Mike Baxter, and David Peat were invited to play, with only Allen and Phil being old timers.

[FINISHED] Mirror-Mirror on the Wall Competition - Online Poker Today and in the Future

Read the article about the present and the future of online poker written by Shawn Marston, the winner of our MIRROR-MIRROR ON THE WALL competition.

Shawn is not new to the game of poker and his experiences include playing with Scotty Nguyen at the WSOP Circuit Event, winning of over US $4000 at the tournament at Casino Arizona a year ago, chatting with Daniel Negreanu, and discussing poker strategies with Greg Raymer in between playing satellites at last year’s WSOP.

Shawn enjoys playing Omaha Hi/Lo, but he has no doubts that his favorite game is No Limit Texas Hold ‘em as the game of skill that also reveals human nature. While most people he plays with regularly consider him a very aggressive player, he doesn’t like to bluff and always maintains his composure regardless of how the game goes. He enjoys the process of the game and doesn’t like it when it is too easy. That’s why he says he was ‘disappointed’ when he got his royal flush with just a Jack of Spades in his hand with the other four cards on the board.

Shawn keeps his dream to make the final table at a major event, and we wish him luck!

In today ” s world, it seems that almost any topic is open for debate

In today ” s world, it seems that almost any topic is open for debate. While I was gathering facts for this article, I was quite surprised to find some of the issues I thought were settled are actually still being openly discussed.

3rd of October

Simon Galloway, 03/05/2007
After last week’s success in the Full Tilt Million Pound Challenge, Adam No-one has gone missing in action, presumably out in the big wide world now that he is Adam Some-one. Reports of a sighting on Mustique are unsubstantiated, but if he tries to hustle a poker game up together there, he will be back in Hendon broke within a fortnight. Until then, here’s the news..

A Lesson in Omaha #2

I think that there is a natural transition with all poker players in how they go about learning certain games. I think that most players travel a very similar evolutionary process, the big difference seems to be the time delay for players to reach certain stages of advancement.
But one of the lessons that I learned (painfully) at the beginning of my time playing PLO was in the overall vulnerability of big pairs and especially when out of position and with deep stacks.
Omaha is a deeply…

Play More Pots by Erick Lindgren

In tournaments, I play lots of hands. I’ll put my money in with all kinds of connected cards, especially when in position. I might limp, I might min-raise or raise a little more than the minimum, depending on the circumstances. I’m looking to keep my table off balance so they don’t know where I’m coming from.
My overall goal is to pick up a lot of small pots without a lot of resistance. I might raise in position and hope for a call from one of the blinds. If I raise pre-flop with something…

Guardian Series: Gamble: Either a Huge Hand or Nothing
26th of September

There’s been plenty of live action recently and seeing as there was no news round up last week we’ll begin with a brief recap of the events from the EPT Barcelona main event held from 10th to 14th September. The Spanish leg is always a popular starter to the EPT season and so it proved this year with a big turn out of 619 entrants for the €8,000 tournament.

A Lesson in Omaha

No I am not to going to sit here and start spouting about what a great PLO player I am because that would be nothing short of bull. For years and years I side stepped it like you do an embarrassing ex when you are out with your mates. I don’t know what it was about the game but I could never properly figure it out and especially short handed. In fact years ago I would actually muck good PLO hands in dealer’s choice games simply because I couldn’t trust myself from the flop…

Who Wins The Pot and Does the Winning Hand Have To Show?

This one was posted on the Mob Forum by The Reverend.
£1/ £2 live cash game at the Casino at The Empire in London. Somehow I end up with my opponent all-in on the river with a pot of about £285 and I have 5 high. My opponent, embarrassed at his own high card holding (better than mine, obviously) angrily mutters something including the words "I fold" and throws his cards in face up towards but not touching the muck. This is absolutely irrelevant as far as the rules,…

Heads-Up vs Multi-Way Hands in Omaha Hi/Lo by Andy Bloch

Earlier this year, I cashed in the $2,000 Omaha Hi/Lo event at the World Series of Poker*. I enjoyed the tournament; it was great to spend some time playing a game other than hold ‘em. One thing that surprised me about the tournament, however, was that the quality of play was quite poor. Some players didn’t even know the very basics, like starting hand values. I was amazed that so many people would put $2,000 into a tournament where they didn’t understand even the most rudimentary elements of…

Where is the Money Coming From?

I think that before you take a seat in any poker game be it online or in some card room then it pays to have some kind of a plan as to how you intend to make money. Too many poker players seem to drift into games having no idea what they need to be doing in order to win. Now to have a good idea as to where the money will be coming from (if at all) in a poker game then you need to know three things.

Your own level of knowledge/ability
The level of knowledge and ability of your…

A Short Break

A few people have asked me why I haven’t written a diary recently. Some of them have said very kind things about how they enjoy reading about my travels, and that they’ve been wondering what’s been happening lately. Others are probably secretly thinking, (and hoping), that I’ve been doing my bollocks and I’ve been too miserable to write. I did actually hear recently that I lost £85,000 in the Vic in August and that I was doing a good job of losing all the Irish Open money.

Vegas Insider: 2008 September

Plane crashes, casino openings, worker layoffs, free concert tickets, new poker rooms, burglars target Hoyt’s house. Just another week in Las Vegas.
With the casinos as quiet as I have seen them since 9/11 the marketing managers have gone into overdrive to try and lure the locals out of their, soon to be foreclosed, homes, and back into the casinos.
Terribles have offered 500 free tickets to all their concerts in Primm. Concerts include the Beach Boys, Brian Wilson (I assume no longer a…

Playing Big Slick in Deep Stack Tournaments by Paul Wolfe

During this year’s World Series of Poker*, I talked with a number of pros about the problems that so many online qualifiers had playing Big Slick during the early blind levels. It seemed to us that a huge percentage of the field - we estimated as much as 70 percent - was more than willing to go broke with this hand if they hit a pair on the flop.
But many pros, myself included, feel that Ace-King is a very difficult hand to play in the early levels of big buy-in tournaments, when the stacks…

WPT’s Fall Boot Camps

“Boot camp” is term generally given to the military training that turns a kid, whose greatest challenge in life was getting past the Nightmare level on Halo 2, into a well oiled fighting machine. This type of training usually involves trading one’s locks for a tacky camouflage wardrobe and the type of food that even a wiener dog would turn their nose up at. After 8 to 10 weeks of running, sweating, and getting yelled at by somebody who works out their personal issues by intimidating teenagers, boot camp is over and the cadet is transformed from a pile of useless goo into something their parents can be proud of. If this is the sort of experience you are looking for, the WPT boot camp is definitely not the place to be.

Poker After Dark - Durr Does It Again

The $100k buy in event featured the best players out there, such as Phil Hellmuth, Tom Dwan, Allen Cunningham, Guy Laliberte, Mike Baxter and David Peat. It was Baxter and Dwar who mixed it up before, and were destined to do it again in this particular hand.

Poker After Dark - Hard to Read

All the players at Poker After Dark’s the Cash Game show admitted one thing: Durr was hard to read. In the $100k buy in event Phil Hellmuth, Allen Cunningham, Guy Laliberte, Mike Baxter, and David Peat were playing with a crafty player better known for his skill online as Durr, but his real name was Tom Dwan.

Poker After Dark - Big Man Straight

When Poker After Dark started their new season, they started to bring in some new blood as well. In the Cash Game episode, where players paid $100k to play, Phil Hellmuth, Tom Dwan, Allen Cunningham, Guy Laliberte, Mike Baxter, and David Peat were invited to play, with only Allen and Phil being old timers.

Is the WSOP Watered Down?

Watering down the talent pool has made it tough for the good players to shine. A world class player who has to face down 6500 opponents in a big tournament like the World Series of Poker Main Event is still a heavy underdog to make it to the final table. This is evidenced by the fact that it has been over five years since a big name pro has won the WSOP Main Event, and this year the November final table is basically a who’s who of the poker unknowns.

Be Wary of Going All In

The all in bet has been a staple of big poker tournaments ever since the ESPN cameras became part of the sport’s reality. There are a number of reasons for this that can be explained from a tactical point of view, but the reality is that the all in bet is exciting: it’s the “Home Run” of the sport of poker, and makes for good viewing. Newer players have been watching this on television for years, and it has become an accepted part of the game. In older days these types of all or nothing gambits were less frequent.
