admin — Fri, 07 May 2010 16:30:17 +0000

There are many ways by which you can learn about Poker. You could visit a casino and attend a lesson there. Alternatively, you could learn by playing with family and friends. But the best way to build your fundamentals of the game is to gain knowledge from well-written books.

Today you find many Poker books in the market which are written by veteran players and experts. These are highly helpful as they provide insights into the rules of each variant of Poker along with strategies and tips to make your game better. Here are some Poker books you should read.

One of the best Poker books available in the market is ‘The Theory of Poker’. Written by David Sklansky, it is a highly recommended book on Texas Hold’em Poker. It explores the general situations in the game and is a good introductory book to begin with. There is also another book by the same author titled ‘Tournament Players for Advanced Players’. It is a guide to make a successful transition from real poker to tournament play. This is because different tactics need to be adopted in each of the two cases.

If you are searching for specific information on No-limit Texas Hold ‘em Poker tournaments, then it is a good idea to read ‘Harrington on Hold’em Expert Strategy for No Limits Tournaments’. It is written by former Poker World Series winner Dan Harrington and it dwells on the basics of the game, different playing styles in Poker and ways to develop strategies.

There is another good book called ‘Championship No-Limit and Pot-Limit Hold’em’. It focuses on both no-limit games as well as the rarer pot-limit Hold ‘ems. The authors Tom McEvoy and T.J. Cloutier have made the book interesting by interspersing the game strategies with anecdotes of their own. This makes for an enriching read.

Some of the other good books on Poker are ‘Killer Poker: Strategy and Tactics for Winning Poker Play’ by John Vorhaus and ‘Ace on the River: An Advanced Poker Guide’ by Barry Greenstein.

If you are planning to play Poker, you must be clear on the fact that it is not a game of luck. To be good at Poker is an art that you acquire over time. Successful winning at Poker games necessitates application of masterful tactics and strategies. By reading these books and applying the information contained within them, you can definitely polish your Poker skills.

The best approach to adopt is to couple your reading from these books with actual playing of the game. Begin with playing for free and try to apply the different strategies that are given in the book. Gradually once you get to pick up the feel of the game of your own, you could put your money onto it. Then again, it is wiser to start with low limit games. Your ultimate endeavor should be to go for those games where you have an edge over your fellow players. This is the best way to succeed at Poker.

Techniques in Handling Skilled Gamers

1.Self-assurance. Obviously bluffing is a fundamental element of the poker game. It does not matter if poker is done on the internet or in traditional casinos. If at first you do not seem like confident of your skills, then you need to at least pretend that you are self-assured.

DOYLEISM OF THE DAY: “The doors we open and close each day determine the lives …

Sat, 01 May 2010 15:30:10 +0000

Congrats to David Williams for his win in the WPT Championship Tournament. Despite all of the criticism about the structure of the tournament, the final table was one of the strongest in years. The slow paced games and short hours seem to reward the better players. I was pulling for my pal Billy Baxter and I was excited when he was chip leader at the final table. Bad beats took over and Billy finished 5th. Still, that’s pretty good hold’em playing by a guy that has seven WSOP bracelets, all in lowball.

CA Athletic Directors Convention 2010

I had to miss the Bellagio tournament because I had to go to Reno. The California High School Athletic Directors were having their annual convention and I had agreed to speak over a year ago. Someday maybe I’ll learn to check dates before making commitments. I had a great time and met several hundred nice people. The directors surprised me with a poker tournament when I arrived, with a dozen or so Athletic Directors wearing DoylesRoom caps. Most of them had never played but we had fun. The sad part of this was that lots of these teachers, coaches, and directors didn’t know if they would have jobs next year. The bad economy has probably hit California and Nevada harder than any other states. California is bankrupt and really in trouble with no relief in sight.

Time is fast winding down on the 2010 WSOP. I’m going to play in the PokerStars cash game next week, then do my best to chill out until the series starts. I can’t make up my mind if I want to play a few selected events or make an all out run trying to win another bracelet. I feel pretty good so I may just go for it.

I’m going to Costa Rica this weekend. There may be some big news about DoylesRoom. I always enjoy going to CR because the scenery is great and the food is good. I’m also looking forward to seeing some rain. As hard as I try to slow down, it seems the only speed I have is full ahead.

It seems everybody these days are political experts and like to talk about it, so here is my two cents about the economy. We are so far in debt that most countries, including China who we owe the most money, correctly think we may never be able to pay everybody. I know everyone says America is the greatest country but we may have crossed the line this time. As long as other countries can manufacture cars, appliances and other items cheaper than we can, there will never be enough jobs for Americans. Our government could put a huge import tax on everything to make prices equal. If our country is so great, let’s support ourselves instead of depending on other nations. The oil would be a problem, but we could be independent there also in 10 years if we would listen to T. Boone Pickens. I understand the ramifications of a huge import tax, but if it comes down to America becoming a 3rd world country, I for one would be willing to do whatever is necessary. We have defeated most of the countries in wars but if another broke out tomorrow, who are our allies? Same as always, Britain, Canada, Australia, Israel and a few of the smaller countries. I just don’t believe very many Americans realize the downward spiral our nation is in. I’m in favor of helping our own nation while we can and stop trying to police the entire world. And yes, I like the things Arizona is doing despite Federal opposition. If I wasn’t so old, I would run for public office.

Webcam Technology & Your Online Poker Face

Mon, 26 Apr 2010 04:00:07 +0000

Webcam technology is now being integrated into online poker rooms. FacePokerLive.com has just launched a new online poker room where you’ll get to see more than the statistics of your opponents. This new poker room lets players put on their best poker face. It has all of the traditional Texas Holdem ring games along with a variety of tournaments and a special league.

“Seeing their rival’s face and having the possibility to chat is a crucial element in us launching a completely new poker room,” said Jim Harwey, Managing Director for Diamond Bay. “In 2010, the whole industry was waiting for something really new and I am really proud to announce that FacePokerLive.com is a new thing to the player. We would like to attract not just poker players currently bored by the ‘same-game-again’ but also completely new players who love poker and its live form and who cannot find a common online world interesting to them.”

This online poker room can be accessed on a PC, Mac, or Linux machine because it uses Flash technology. Many poker players are concerned that they may be playing against computers. This poker room eliminates that concern by showing the webcam of the actual player along with their their poker face. Unfortunately, this online poker room is not accepting US players due to issues with the implementation of the UIGEA in June, as well as concerns with US online poker laws.

Calculating Texas Hold’em Poker Odds Made Easy

I wrote this book to illustrate and analyze the underlying components of Texas Hold em poker odds so that you will become a better Texas Hold em poker player. The poker books I have read only devoted about ten pages on poker odds and expected you to memorize tables that seemed meaningless.

The illustrations in this book will bring meaning and life to those tables. You will be able to make quick decisions about complicated problems. You will have more time to focus on other information, such as: tells, who is a weak player, who is a strong player, who is too aggressive, who will fold their blinds, who will protect their blinds, who will take advantage of the button (position) and who you can make a move against (bluff). You will have the confidence you need to play and compete with the pros.
