I Remember when the World Poker Tour Started

Filed under:Games Playing, Gambling Luck, Internet Fun — posted on March 16, 2010 @ 8:56 am

I remember when the World Poker Tour started earlier this decade and first watching all the events on TV. They featured great online poker action, from casinos in exotic locales around the world, and got a high amount of viewership.

At that time, it would have been hard to believe that the WPT would ever see financial losses. But then again, the so-called “poker boom” of earlier this decade has subsided and there’s not much interest in the game as there once was.

In a sign of the times, World Poker Tour Enterprises reported reported a net loss of $3.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2008, contributing to a loss of $12.5 million for the full year, according to pokernews.com.

The company reported $2.5 million less in revenues for the quarter compared to the same period a year ago, primarily driven by a change in the release pattern of its television broadcasts and lower international television license fees.

While poker online is certainly as popular worldwide nowadays as it was in 2004, it is still way more popular than it was in, say, 1997. I’m sure the WPT and other poker operators and tournament organizers will stabilize and continue to make money. While poker may never be as popular as it was five years ago, it is always going to be a very popular and successful worldwide game.

Strategy: Loose-Passive Players

Filed under:Games Playing, Gambling Luck, Internet Fun — posted on March 1, 2010 @ 12:26 pm

Loose-passive online poker players aren’t very common-most loose online poker players seem to be pretty aggressive, and passive poker online players tend to play more tightly. If you do happen to find yourself at a table with an opponent who seems loose-passive, you’ve hit a pretty sweet little jackpot. You’re likely to win a huge pot from these players like you would with a loose-aggressive player, but you’re not going to have to wait on the blinds to come to them to steal their chips. What you generally get when you’re faced with a loose-aggressive opponent is a steady stream of blinds that can be purchased often. Loose-aggressive players play most of the hands that they’re dealt, but if the flop doesn’t hit them, they’ll try to check to the river, hoping to draw out a winning hand. Generally, they’ll miss the flop, and all it takes is a minimal bet to buy up their blinds and narrow the competition. Even if you’ve got other opponents in the hand, the loose-aggressive players that you just bought out of the hand has fattened up the pot quite nicely, and your raise will make any other opponents wonder why the guy before them folded to you, and they’ll probably consider folding to you as well.

Beginner’s Bowling Hints: Stop Using the Lane’s Bowling Balls

I always run into an occasional bowler willing to treat this intricate sport more seriously. If you accept bowling is your goal, you’ve stumbled upon a major cross-roads in building fundamental skills as a real bowler. Read carefuly, ’cause our bowling pro shop’s “Next Steps” handbook to the Top 5 Bowling Tips is for you. An expert in a local bowling pro shop can help bowlers tap bowling skills. There’s an old bowling adage, the bowling balls do all the work (after you roll them). That’s a joke. Fine, so it’s more complicated than that. No worry, we’ll have you bowling the bowling ball correctly.

If you haven’t already, invest a little in the specialized bowling shoes, balls and bowling ball bags. You’ll notice a difference with your own stuff. There’s a reason its our number 1 recommendation, have your private ball drilled for custom finger holes, and you can make more of your practice time. A carefully fitted bowling ball can make a substantial improvement in your game. It’s also important you’re sliding out your final step in comfortable bowling shoes that don’t stink like desanitizer

If you went ahead and acquired good bowling equipment, listen to the number two piece of bowling advice: aim how the pros aim. While you face the pins, don’t actually aim for the actual pins. Use the arrows like a sling shot. What’s the point? It’s less difficult to roll through a mark that rests nearer. For it to work right, it should be your habit to stand in the exact spot on the wood with every roll. Only then you can make small adjustements on your accuracy and angle.

As for spin, to achieve proper speed and ball control? It is our next best piece of bowling advice. They get traction with the specialized bowling ball. Many us who were bown to bowl regularly roll two or three bowling balls to roll ridiculous pin action, according to the type of game and lane. Word of warning: begginers might want to work with just one, and don’t get a ball that is too heavy for you. A lot of pro bowlers opt for bowling balls featuring special resin surface. Avoid the temptation, because these special-made balls can make even some well known players look like they don’t know what they’re doing. And that does it for our first three bowling tips. There will be more in the August edition.

My friends and I manage a company team (US Systems) made up of morning shift for a major bowling ball retailer near St. Louis. I offer guidance to aspiring bowlers at my blog and at the lanes. Finally, I want to plug my team in the shop. Sorry I can’t be there.

Not the Best, Not a Problem

Filed under:Games Playing, Gambling Luck, Internet Fun — posted on June 29, 2009 @ 1:13 pm

Many poker online players get discouraged when they play, knowing that they aren’t and most likely will never be one of the best players at any given casino table. First of all, that’s a crummy attitude to bring to a table. Secondly, if you’re right, the great news when it comes to poker is that you don’t have to be the best player at the table-you just have to be better than a few of them.

It goes back it identifying all of the poker online players around you. Before you sit at a table, it’s important to scout it out and try to prejudge each player individually. Figure out who the aggressors are and who can be pushed around, who the tight and loose players are, and most importantly, which players you can beat and which players can beat you.

Once you have a mental framework for the players that you’re going to be sitting with, start playing and adjust that paradigm as you grow more familiar with your surroundings. When you are fairly certain who you can beat, focus your game on bleeding them dry while protecting your chips from the players that you think are better than you. Shear the sheep and avoid the wolves, and you’ll walk away with some spending money.

Chasing Poker Is Losing Poker but it Sometimes Wins

Filed under:Games Playing, Gambling Luck, Internet Fun — posted on February 3, 2009 @ 11:24 am

‘Chasing’ is the term in poker for situations in when a player continues to put money in a pot knowing he is not getting the proper pot odds to draw out and is therefore playing ‘losing’ poker. Players with drawing hands usually will calculate the odds of their winning the pot and if they have to pay more than an equitable percentage in order to see the further cards, it is against their better interest to continue in the hand.

Yet, no matter how bad odds can be, you’ll always see the poker players who are willing to put their money in with any kind of draw. And it seems quite frequent that these ‘chasing’ players end up hitting their outs no matter how big of a donkey they were when the money went in. Though poker often doesn’t seem to serve its justice at the right times, in the long run these players who continue to chase are the ones that in the long run go broke.

Ultimately, the players who continue to put their money at risk on the expectation that they will hit their random outs are the ones you want to play against at least part of the time, as they will continue to pay you off. You just need to be able to accept the idea that sometimes their 10% chance to win will come through, though eventually, if you remain patient and don’t go on tilt, they’ll give that money right back to you with the same poor odds.

Deep Stack Poker Playing

Filed under:Games Playing, Gambling Luck, Internet Fun — posted on December 17, 2008 @ 11:48 am

<p>Playing with more than 50 big blinds is considered deep stack playing, and is a much more difficult but potentially lucrative format of <a href=”http://www.everestpoker.com/nl/”>poker</a> play. Playing a large stack in a no limit game allows you to extract the most value from your opponents when you have the best holding, but also has the highest risk associated with each decision. Playing in a game with more than one big stack changes the entire dynamic of the game, and usually warrants a different style than one would normally play with a regular stack.

<p>When you are playing deep stacked <a href=”http://www.everestpoker.fr”>poker</a> with another opponent at the table who has you covered, you typically pay much more attention to what he does more so than what other players are doing. What position he is in relative to you is also important, because it will make a big difference in the post-flop plays you can make against another player in the pot if the other deep stack is involved.

<p>Typically, you do not want to build a large pot pre flop with the other large stack in the hand, as it will get you into difficult post flop situations if you miss the flop and he floats you. You want to play small pots with him, go to showdown as often as possible to get a line on his play, and then go for the kill when you have a large holding post flop.

<p>Depending on how much you want to gamble, holding a large hand pre flop could also be grounds to get it in, but this is much more reckless and usually should be avoided unless the opponent proves himself to be a relatively loose player, capable of getting it all in with less than a premium pocket pair in a pre flop all in situation.

<p>These are some general rules of thumb for playing large stacked <a href=”http://www.everestpoker.se”>poker</a>, but it is an endlessly complex playing situation with many more opportunities for difficult decisions. Always proceed with caution when playing deep stacked, and reason through every decision with comprehensive analysis, and solid logic.

Poker Player Profiles #9

Amarillo Slim Preston: From Amarillo, Texas, Slim Preston won the 1972 WSOP, and his charismatic personality made him a celebrity on television talk shows. He became known as “Slim” because of his tall height and thin frame. In his youth, he was a world class billiards player, and the youngest ever to enter in the World Billiards Tournament. Slim has been inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame.

Greg Raymer: The “Fossilman” made WSOP history when he won the 2004 championship and the largest prize — $5 million — ever awarded to a poker tournament winner. Formerly a patent lawyer, he won his WSOP seat at an Internet site. His trademark cats’ eye glasses set him apart at the table as does his aggressive play. His nickname, Fossilman, comes from his love of collecting fossils, which he often distributes as card protectors to other players.

Chip Reese: The youngest poker player to be inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame, Reese is respected as one of the greatest high stakes cash game players in the world. He graduated from Dartmouth College, and turned poker pro in 1975 when he stopped in Las Vegas on this way to Stanford School of Law. He never made it to law school, but instead stuck to poker. Though he maintains a low profile, he has been seen on the World Poker Tour television series.

Why aren’t there more female poker players?

Filed under:Games Playing, Gambling Luck, Internet Fun — posted on July 31, 2008 @ 1:22 pm

By and large, the majority of women in my life (sisters, girlfriends, Mom) are smarter, better with money, and more decisive than all my male friends combined. So, why aren’t there more female online poker players cutting up the felt?

My initial thoughts were that women are intimidated by the poker masses: those mangy, unkempt middle aged and college age men who clog the tournament tables year after year. But that can’t be the reason, because I’m sure a majority of women experienced far worse in college or at the ballpark from some drunken idiot.

So I think it has to be image. The way poker is marketed. All these TV tournaments have going for them are cars, babes and money. The other big thing, bluffing and table intimidation, is something that women have been able to fine tune after years of relationships. I don’t see that being a big obstacle.

I actually think women could dominate poker, and a few of them already have. But like anything, more variety would be ideal, and I think the “sport” of poker would benefit immensely from an image makeover. The game is pure, but the marketing piled on caters only to one type of person.

Bring on the women poker players!
