Playing Poker Against Awful Players

by Billy Kernow

Playing poker against stupid players should be lucrative, but do you often find yourself losing to players who have no idea of what they are doing? This can be a deep frustration for players that are serious about improving their own game.

Playing against such weak players you might feel entitled to their cash because of their frequent misplays. If you’ve taken the time to learn the game from the numerous resources available to you, then you can see how many errors they make, but are also puzzled at how they are winning at the table, and your bankroll is not. This is normal, and it’s even more normal to experience some of your biggest beats online due to players who have no hint as to what they are doing. They didn’t read any books, watch any videos, and care little about bankroll management. Thus they will not be playing position, odds, or hole card strength.

Rush Poker Strategy

by Billy Kernow

There’s a new form of poker online and it’s causing a storm in the online world. Rush poker as it’s known is a creation of Full Tilt poker and is designed from the ground up to make online poker more fun, with less waiting. and more action.

Rush poker can be Holdem or Omaha, and Stud will be coming soon. The game is played exactly as normal, on 6 or 9 seat tables, but with one huge difference. As soon as a player is no longer in contention to win a pot, they are instantly reseated and dealt a new hand at a new table. This means you can fold preflop, and rather than wait five minutes for the hand to play out, you get right back into the action straight away. This difference means that players don’t get bored, and can play 3oo or more hand per hour!

Chip Tells

An obvious tell (subconscious action) can be the amount of force a player uses in placing their chips in the pot. If the player spikes their chips (slamming down a stack past the bet line), they are more likely to have a weak hand.

Be aware that fumbling of the chips may betray inexperience at a brick and mortar casino, and not betray the fact that the player has considerable experience online. Televised poker tournaments that draw their players from online qualifiers, such as Fox Sports Net tournaments sponsored by major online poker sites, can make this very apparent with some players.

When a player makes a call or raise and they place their chips closer to themselves, they often have a strong hand. By placing them close, they are often subconsciously keeping their chips within easy reach to rake them back when they win. A player who uses a lot of force in tossing in the chips toward the pot, or flings them away, often has a marginal hand. This tossing away of the chips is often because they feel they have already lost the hand and the chips as well.

Winning poker comes down to being able to squeeze a profit out of marginal situations. The object is to win every hand you play, not to win every hand played. The best way to do this is to out bet your opponents. Every bet made should have a purpose. Either it is made to induce a weaker hand to fold, or it is made to maximize the winnings on the hand.

Since there are many opportunities to outplay your opponents, you have to know which opponents you can outplay. It is difficult to finesse weak players. The slow play often backfires because one of the loose limpers will hit a hand. The bluff does not work, since these players call with any two cards. The following sections demonstrate many of the advanced aspects of the game and how best to play them.

The Art of the Slow-play

Texas Hold’em Poker: Heads-Up Play

by Daniel L. Cox

The game of Hold’em changes once you get to heads-up play. You can make a few big mistakes in limit Hold’em and, it sometimes works in your favor if you appear to be a loose player, but a series of small mistakes can end the game early. Constant small misreads of your opponent are far more likely to end your tournament than an incorrect size bet.

When playing heads-up, the most important factor is to understand your opponent’s style. Since you have been playing against them for at least the time together on the final table, you should have a good read on their ability, image and level of play. If they are more skillful than you are, you can negate their advantage by forcing big pots to end the game as quickly as possible. If you are the superior player, take your time by playing smaller pots. Your skill level should win out in the end.
