What not to say at a poker awards ceremony

The quality is not so good but the video is very funny.

Datamining

So what is data mining?

Basically, it’s the process of acquiring information about your potential opponents through the use of automated tools that record hand histories. Think of it as the online equivalent of scouting a live game from the rail, except you get to scout dozens of games at once without having to do much more than opening a few windows. What’s the point of data mining? By collecting and analyzing hand histories, you make it easier to identify soft games and avoid tough ones, you improve your decision making in marginal situations and you save some bets that you’d otherwise use to acquire information from your opponents.

Bad beat poker

Rigged ?

Mentality

Don't get too upset/mad when you lose to a bad beat because in the long run you'll end up in profit. Don't start playing more hands to make up for a loss, take a deep breath and carry on. If you are still mad then take a break and came back later.Also if your winning don't get cocky and start playing weak hands, bluffing to much or as above move up stakes too fast- it could end in tears.

The Squeeze - Play by Full Tilt Pro Lee Markholt

In tournaments, you should always be looking for ways to pick up chips. You can’t just sit around waiting for Aces or Kings and hope to double up when you do. One of the best and most popular ways for adding chips to your stack is by implementing what’s known as the squeeze play.

A typical squeeze play works like this: an active and aggressive player raises in late position, and he’s called by another player on the button. You’re in the blinds and you have to decide what to do.

There’s no real indication yet that anyone has a particularly strong hand. The aggressive player could be raising with a wide range of hands, and the call from the button could mean a lot of things. He may have a medium strength hand, or he may be pretty weak and just looking to play post-flop with favorable position.

At this point, a big re-raise from the blinds effectively squeezes the original raiser who is between you and the player on the button. Your aggressive re-raise gives you a great chance of taking down the pot right there.

It used to be that good players used the squeeze play occasionally. It was just one of the many tools they used from time to time. But recently, the squeeze play has become extremely popular. Sometimes it seems that pretty much any time there’s a raise and a call, there’s a player in the blinds looking to squeeze.

I prefer to be a little more selective when initiating a squeeze. I like to have a hand that can hit a flop if I run into a decent hand and get called. In my experience, suited connectors are good hands to squeeze with.

I think the squeeze is most effective when you have a tight table image. When you’ve been playing actively and aggressively the other players at the table are less likely to give you credit for a big hand and will call you down.

You can try the squeeze in ring games, but it’s really most effective in tournaments. When players have to fear for their tournament lives, they’re far more likely to fold in marginal situations.

If you haven’t been using the squeeze play, you should try working it into your tournament game. Start out by squeezing selectively and wait for opportunities where the players, cards and your table image give you the best chance of winning the pot.

Do you have a Mac ?

In Past, Mac users had difficulties to play online poker, but in the last 2 years, things have changed and Mac users have sites where players can wager real money against real opponents. Each site’s Mac poker software is nearly identical to their Windows software. The download is free. FullTilt worked hard on their native Mac download and it shows in the quality of their software. They wanted to position themselves as the number one online poker room for Macs and I think that they have become pretty close. Do you have a Mac ?

Bankroll Management (Full ring)

Rules for Limit holdem, No limit Holdem and tournaments.

The rule for an appropriate Limit holdem bankroll is to have at least 300 BB for the limit you’re playing. With a $60 bankroll you should be playing no higher then 0,10/0,20 limit. By having 300 big bets you should be able to handle the short term swings and have minimal chances of going broke.

For No limit Holdem , your minimum bankroll should be 20 buy-ins. With a $200 bankroll you’d have 20 buy-ins for $10 NL holdem (usually .05/.10 blinds). The next step would be $20NL holdem, but you’ll first have to reach a $400 bankroll before playing that limit.

For Tournaments it is recommended that you have a bankroll that will give you 40 buy-ins to the level that you wish to play at. Therefore if you want to play at the $1+$0,1 Sit n Go’s you should have a bankroll of (at least) $44.
If you intend to make money from playing poker, it is essential that you exercise good bankroll management skills. If you do not, then you are setting yourself up for frequent losses that you will find hard to prevent, no matter how good you may be at poker.

You should be ready to drop down a limit when your bankroll no longer justifies the stakes you’re playing. It’s not a big deal; you just have to build yourself back up. Sometimes good players will be stubborn and refuse to go down a limit. Sometimes it works out, and other times they’ll lose a lot more money or even bust.
Gamblers will come and go, but in the long run the players controling their bankroll correctly will always come out ahead...

Bluff vs Bluff (sick)

Happy new year !!!
