| 12:38 am | Tipping In Poker? There is a little known talked about element of NL Texas Hold 'Em that is often never talked about and I know I havent seen an article on WDIAV about it yet so I thought I would put it out there and see the response I get back. I asked myself this question after watching the WSOP on TV. A few times I have seen the winning player throw a few dollars towards the dealer at the table. So I asked myself is Tipping the dealer at the poker table accetable?? I would have to say yes but what do you tip if your only in a ring game a a casino. Well I guess if would depend how much you sit down a the table with and how much you won on that hand. Granted you are not obligated to do it but i think it is in good form if you do. Then that brings up another question. Do you tip per win or wait to you leave the table then throw the dealer a few bucks if you leave a winner? Again this all depends if you think tiping the dealer per win hurts your bankroll enough not to do it. I would say if you ron the lowere stakes tables .50 / $1 is a good tip per hand won if the flop is seen. If you fold and everyone folds around then I think the dealer would understand you not tipping on that. If you happen to win a huge pot you might wanna throw in a few extra to the dealer!! Probably $5 i sthe most I would go on any given hand no matter what the stakes unless you rlike IVEy and them playing in that Big Money game in Vegas then they might throw a few hundred down! If you win money in a tournment im not sure if you should tip there or not unless you win. Im not sure how tournament dealers get paid but im sure every little bit helps! |

| 11:45 am | ONLINE POKER VS. HOME GAMES 5 Reasons Why Online Poker Is Better than "Real Life" Poker 1. You don't need to do any organizing. If you are having a poker game round at your house, there is a lot of organizing to be done. You need to make sure you have all the right equipment in place for the game - poker table, poker chips and cards as well as some sort of snacks and nibbles. You might be there for a long time so you need to provide some refreshments for your guests. 2. You don't need to rely on anybody else turning up for the poker game. Most people have one or two friends who are unreliable. If you play poker online you don't need to rely on everyone turning up at the appointed hour for the home table game. When you play home poker there is always the dread that the phone is going to ring and somebody is going to call off at the last minute. You don't get that with online poker, you just turn up and play against whoever is there. 3. You can play for as long as you want to. When you play poker on the internet it is up to you how long you play for, you don't need to wait until all your friends have had enough and want to go home. Or if you're the type of poker player who always wants to player on after everyone else is burnt out and ready for bed, you can do so on the internet. 4. You can play any time you choose. When you are trying to organize a real life poker game, one of the biggest obstacles is getting all of your friends available at the same time. You might need to wait for weeks until they can make it on the same night, people are very busy nowadays and nobody seems to have much spare time any more. But you can have a game of poker Texas Holdem any time of the day or night on many internet poker sites, and games like Omaha and Stud poker are available most of the time too. 5. You can go and do something else instead. If you want out of the game it is very hard when it is taking place in your house! You might be on a big losing streak or you might be tired or even bored with the company but if the poker game is in your house you'll need to be there until the end. |

| 11:50 am | POKER STRATEGY Keep It Simple When you start to play poker, you will more than likely be playing low-limit games. Beating these games does not require you to become a masterful poker player, it primarily entails that you are able to outplay poor opponents. Beating good players at high limits can be incredibly difficult, entailing many complex moves. However, winning at low limits is pretty straightforward. What do I mean? Basically, other players won't be paying attention to you. They only care about their own cards; they don't care about you or your cards. They will play their hand as they always play their hand, regardless of whether or not you are in the pot. You are basically a ghost to them... but hopefully you will be a ghost that's slowly taking their money! If you want to beat these types of players, you simply need to a play a straightforward game that will win in the long run. For example, play tight, don't do any fancy bluffs, bet aggressively when you probably have the best hand, and utilize pot odds for your drawing decisions. When it comes to deception with these players, slowplaying can work. These players are easily fooled into thinking they have the best hand when they hit a pair on the turn, so giving them a free card when you hold the stone nuts can be to your advantage. However, bluffing is simply an exercise in futility. These guys want to see if they have the best hand. They'll pay to see your cards just so they can see them sometimes! Don't expect to scare any fish at lower limits with an extra $2 bet. Master the art of choosing starting hands, employing pot odds, and aggressively betting your winning hands. However, psychological strategies are generally useless. Your opponents are not thinking too deeply, and attempting any fancy plays will only hurt you. |

| 5:12 am | WHY PLAY POKER!!! Social rewards. This is a major reason behind the traditional home game. Many friends like to hang out and play cards, and many people become friends over the card table. If this is one of the major reasons you wish to play, stick with low stakes, where the games are more fun and friendly. Entertainment. Poker is a competitive game. To win, one needs the skills and the bit of luck the game necessitates. Many find this enjoyable and compare poker to playing a sport. Make sure you don't get swept up in the 'entertainment' nature of poker, because it is possible to lose a lot of money at the game. Education. The skills necessary to become a good poker player apply well to other aspects of life. Poker will help you to improve your judgment skills (reading people) and sharpen your logical and strategic skills (how to play your hand). To make money. Most people play poker for fun, but some make considerable money at it. Of course, these people are few and far between. Not everyone can make a lot of money from poker. Nevertheless, the desire to win more is definitely a reason to improve your poker skills. Poker is one of the few forms of wagering where you can actually win. Casino-style betting is rigged against you (it is impossible to win in the long run at craps, roulette, etc., no matter what anyone says. The only exception is blackjack if you count cards, which is extremely difficult). Sports betting is also nearly impossible to beat without insider information. Thus, poker is one of the few forms of gambling where one can actually win money in the long run simply by being good at the game. |

| 4:31 am | Managing Your Poker Bankroll Many poker players first starting out in the world of poker dont really know how to control there bankroll in online poker ring games. Most people starting out on the low end of a starting bankroll ($50-$200) usually head straight for the .05 - .10 table online. They feel this is a good place to start out and not lose much money.  Its good if your just starting out learning the game but if you know the rules the only true way to be a winning poker player is to step out of your comfort zone a few times and go to higher stake tables. But in doing so never go above what your bank roll can afford. I feel a good rule would be to make sure your bankroll is about 10 times higher than the max buy-in at the table you want to move up to. That way even if you take a bad beat your bankroll isnt that cripled and you can always buy back in without too much hesitation! |
