Poker Fans Rejoice!
This weekend was the first no limit hold'em match up featuring all of your beloved blogging favorites. Of course if you had placed your bets on anyone but yours truly taking home the cash you'd have walked home with egg on your face. Picture this... Heads up some chump and the professor... Chip lead gets tossed around like a cheap whore... than, out of nowhere the professor rallies and drops the hammer! Played that fool like a beautifully tuned fiddle, "sorry brosiff" I says "two pair beats solo pair." Then I pounded a beer... bottoms!
Poker Tip(s):
"Reading" your opponents.
If there is one strategy that is over looked in the world of online poker it would have to be the ability to "read" your opponents. Of course when you play real poker you want to look and act confident, so... you sport your shades, pop in your ear buds and sip ever so slowly from your bourbon on the rocks. But playing online poker requires you to be a much more clever investigator.
-While playing, watch the hands, all off em, even the ones you arent playing. Carefully note oddities and clues.
-Also watch for immediate calling by others. This isnt fool proof but it can give you a sense of what your up against. If someone checks, you bet and they jump on that thing... proceed with caution.
-Watching for hesitant calling is also a good way of judging the oppositions hands. If some newb thinks about your small raise for a bit too long take him to the bank!
- Finally, as Sermius previously noted, watch your table position. If you have a decent hand but everyone before you calls, muck that shit. Dont get caught with a knife at a gun fight.
Well thats all for today, sorry the linking was lackluster but if you check the comment on Sermius' last post it may make up for it.
P.S-Sermius still owes me $5, ill let you know if he repays.
