So happy new year and good luck on your poker game!
Eheheh… What happens when you get a hot babe doing a strip for you???
She teases the hell out of you….
She try to tease you until you are “brainless”…. 
So what does this have to do with POKER?!
Well, imagine what could happen if you could tease your opponents?
No, I’m not talking about having a webcam and being dressed with lingerie… lol…no no no no….
I’m talking about the possibility of tease your opponents by showing one of your cards of your poker hand…
So whether your laying down your hand to a big bet, or if no one called your bet, if you really want to keep your poker opponents on their toes, you can use the Poker Room ‘Expose One Card’ feature.
So you can show either both your cards, or just one card.
For example, say you had top pair but a weak kicker and you couldn’t call a big bet you might show your high card to prove you weren’t on a complete bluff.
Conversely you might show your low card, to appear as if you were on a complete bluff.
Either way showing only one card generally leaves your opponent asking more questions for which you gave answers with the card that you did show.
I think this is a cool poker feature, and it’s available at Odds Poker…
Enjoy and happy poker time!

In today’s poker world, especially online, playing a traditional tight-aggressive style will rarely be enough to win.
Pre-flop action is far more aggressive than it once was, and today’s winning poker player has to get creative to win big pots.
One way to wina big pot off an aggressive opponent is to “set mine“, or to play medium and small pocket pairs mode often then traditional poker strategy would dictate.
We’ve all been there. You’re dealt a pair of fives and someone makes a big raise in front of you.
You know that calling a big raise and chasing two outs is not exactly a mathematically sound play, and you find yourself mucking your small pair to wait for a more favorable situation.
The next thing you know your third five comes on the flop and you’ve missed a set and a potential big pot.
The concept of set mining is essentially deciding to stay in a hand with your pocket pair in the hopes that you do hit that set.
The initial pot odds may not be the best to call a big raise, but when you do hit your set (roughtly one cut of eight times you hold a pocket pair) the payoff is usually huge.
When to set mine still requires some thought and strategy, it’s not going to be your best play all the time.
The best time to set mine and risk some of your chips chasing two outs is when you have a big stack compared to most players in the game.
The more chips you have, the more you can afford to gamble, and when you call a big raise and hit your set your opponents will not see it coming… especially if they have an over pair or they’ve hit top pair with two big cards.
Some of you may play so tight that you fold smaller pairs in the early positions because you don’t want to have to deal any raise that another player may put in there after you.
Raising the action with your smaller pocket pair will often allow you to control the pre-flop action, and will even win you the odd uncontested pot.
If you limp in with your pocket pair and face late-position raise, you have to option of calling or three-betting if you think that the late-position raise is just a real-estate bluff.
The thing to keep in mind about set mining is that if you do miss hitting your set, your mentality should be that you’re going to be willing to get out of the hand… especially if any aces or kings come on the flop and an opponent bets into you.

Where to play?
Odds Poker Online
When you have won a hand, sometimes players are left wondering if they should have stayed in the hand against you.
If your at your home poker game or in a poker card club sometimes a player will ask to see what cards would’ve come if they hadn’t folded, this is called Rabbit Hunting.
While this is frowned upon in casino’s and tournaments, in most informal games it is allowed.
At Odds Poker Room you can use this power, if you have the winning hand.
So if you win a hand unopposed, you can choose to rabbit and see what cards would have come.
This can be a great way to show your opponents your bluff, and to show them they really had you beat.
Of course you might just end up showing your opponent that they made the right call with the lay down.
As you can see this can be a powerful weapon while playing poker online…
For example you can extend your bluff!
By showing your hand when you bluff…
The opponents mite think you will always buff and that you are show off player!!!
Either way the power is in your hands, Happy Rabbit Hunting!
So last weekend, while doing a pause on my weekend online poker session, I went to take a peak on the promotions for Odds Poker…
And I got a very nice suprise… Well I notice the Royal Flush Bonus!!!
Yeah, I know getting a royal flush is hard… but it’s nice to know that there is a super bonus if you get that magical combination, a Royal Flush!
So this only happens if you are playing the famous Texas Holdem ring games…
This bonus is quite simple and straight forward…
You just need to score a Royal Flush with your pocket cards on any real-money Texas Holdem ring game…
Simple no??? Now the bonus part!
So you get a Royal Flush and win the poker hand… but wait you also receive a bonus of 100x THE BIG BLIND!
Sounds tempting no?? 
This is what I wanted to share today…
So good luck and best of luck towards those Royal Flushes…
Pick Your Pleasure
The game of poker has changed in many ways over the last few years.
In the past table selection was a simple skill for anyone to learn.
But in online poker, especially Texas Holdem, the game has become increasingly difficult to beat.
This makes table selection even more important than it’s ever been if you want to gain an edge on the competition.
Years ago, good table selection came down to finding action players who were willing to dump chips, and then playing tight style against them until they were cleaned out.
The modern game has so many aggressive players that this strategy no longer works, and a new approach to table selection is required to maximize your changes of winning.
What you are looking for in today’s games are the loose-passive players, otherwise known as calling machines.
These players have little skill and depend on the cards they are dealt to play the game.
They like to play as many hands as they can limp into and rarely display any moves or bluff at pots.
The best way to find these players is to watch for tables that have a high viewed-flop percentage.
More players in the pot means more calling machines playing any two cards in hopes of hitting a flop.
Multi-way hands also give you better pot odds when you have a big draw, and timely position bets will often take down small pots when your limping opponents miss.
Another Good way to find weak players is to have a time-zone sheet with you.
Lots of players like to come home from the bar and get on their computer to play poker in the wee hours of the morning after a night of partying.
You can track what time it is for any opponent by looking at where an opponent is from, and if the hours match up to 2 am or later, and that player is dumping chips, you will know it is likely because he or she has over-indulged prior to the session.
There are no bigger fish than drunken fish, and trying to find these players will almost always be profitable.
Another type of player that will often be easy to beat is a player with a short stack.
If a new player sits at your table and doesn’t buy-in for the maximum, or they have a stack with change, you know they are likely at the end if their bankroll and have everything with them at that table.
A player at the end of their roll is very likely to take unnecessary changes with their remaining chips to either try to double up, or they will just tilt it off because they have been loosing.
Choosing the right tables to play on will always be one of the most important decisions you will make.
Take the extra time to find a good game to play in, otherwise you give away any edge you could have had on the game.
And remember, just because it’s a juicy game it doesn’t mean you will win every time, but it should increase your overall take in the long run.

Playing aggressive isn’t just about throwing in big raises and making wild bets.
It means putting in those raises and bets with value when the situation is right.
What’s one attribute that most successful poker players possess?
Is it the ability to read people?
A knowledge of number?
A good grasp of the fundamentals of the game?
The best answer to that question is actually “aggression”.
If you want to be a winning poker player you must be aggressive.
A lot of bad poker players find it hard to be aggressive at the table, and their passive tendencies make them fish bait for the sharks.
Some people say you can’t teach a poker player to be aggressive because it’s a natural instinct.
However, if you sat down a fish with a pro and showed him how being aggressive helps him win, it would definitely help them see why it’s so important.
Before we get too far let’s explain the difference between playing aggressive and playing like a donk.
Playing aggressive isn’t just about throwing in big raises and making wild bets.
That’s plain stupid play, not aggressive play.
Being aggressive means putting in those raises and bets with value when the odds are in your favor, or you think you can bluff the pot, or you’ve picked up a tell from your opponent that you can exploit.
Playing like a donk is throwing in a huge bet with no reasoning to back that bet up.
This would include chasing improbable draws and trying to bluff at the wrong time.
Playing aggressive will give you an advantage over your opponent because it puts all the pressure on them.
They have to make all their decisions in reaction to your moves.
By putting this preasure on your opponent you open up more instances in which they might make a mistake and pay you off.
There are three things that playing aggressive will do to help your game…
-
Reduces the number of players – When you’re always betting and raising nobody can check or call a small bet to get a free or cheap card.
This should limit the number of players playing against you, unless you’re up against a bunch of donks.
The number of players you are up against makes a big difference no matter what cards you are holding.
You’ll hear some donks say that by betting and raising you’re keeping the pot from growing.
This is actually false, and it doesn’t matter how big the pot is if you allow players with crap cards to tag along to the river cheap, only for them to get lucky and beat you with a hand you could have made them fold by betting. -
Increases the pot size – Playing aggressive really does keep the pot growing.
If you’re repeatedly betting and raising it will make it harder for other players to know when you’re playing a strong hand and when you’re bluffing with garbage.
Since you’re hard to read you will receive more calls when you bet big instead of having everyone fold, leaving you only the blinds.
Think of it like this: “Two players calling a bet of $100 creates a bigger pot than four players calling a bet of $25″. -
You can win two ways – If you’re betting and raising you can win two different ways.
You can either win with the best hand or you can win by causing everyone else to fold.
If you’re not aggressive no one will ever fold to your bets and you’ll only win when you have the best hand.
That’s playing by luck instead of skill.
Remember the old adage – “luck fades, skills doesn’t”.
I came across this great poker article, writen by David Harrison.
I’m posting this here because it explains, in a clear way how to deal with all those rookies that enter the poker rooms…
So read a long… 
enjoy…
One of the hardest things to deal with at the poker table is the play of a “maniac”.
A poker maniac will play any hand, and dump raise after raise on the table even when the cards call for a fold.
Going up against a maniac can be frustrating becayse they’re so dificult to read, and it can be impossible to know if they’re holding pocket Aces or 7-2.Poker maniacs usually fall into one of two categories.
They’re either a brilliant tactician who actually knows exactly what they’re doing and plays ultra-aggressive, but still very smart.
Then there’s the idiot maniac who flies by the seat of his pants and might as well be flipping a coin to make his decisions.
If you’re playing at low liimits, most of the maniacs you’ll come across will more likely fall into the idiot category.Many inexperienced poker players end up getting beat up by a maniac because they don’t know how to deal with them.
The wrong approach to take is to go after the maniac with their own game.
Unless you can be even more aggressive than the maniac, or get lucky over and over, butting heads with a maniac head-on isn’t smart poker because you’re not always playing with the odds in your favor.If your opponent is going into a hand with junk and you’re going after him with more junk, you’re not giving yourself any kind of advantage to stick it to him like you really want.
Don’t even bother attempting a bluff with a maniac.
If they’re willing to make or call a raise with a hand you don’t even feel comfortable checking with, then why would you expect them to run from whatever large bet you make?Toppling a maniac takes patience to wait for hands that you can bet with confidence, and we mean bet big.
To successfully battle a maniac you need to be very aggressive when you’ve got good cards.
You need to bleed out as many chips as you can when you make a hand, so throw in large bets and hope that the maniac continues to play crazy, either he calls you, or if you’re real lucky he will throw in a raise.
Even if you do somehow force the psycho into folding, at least the chips are going your way.The most important thing to remember when confronting a poker maniac is to avoid going on tilt at all costs.
Putting other players on tilt, and causing them to make bad plays and bad bets, is how the maniac makes money at the poker tables.
Maniacs are going to get lucky sometimes, and a lot of the time it seems like they get cards more than everyone else at the table, even though they probably aren’t.Even if a poker maniac flops a 7 and turns over a 2 when he’s holding 7-2 versus your pocket Aces (yes this actually happens!), you still have to keep your cool or you’d be better off handling over your entire stack without playing another hand.
Don’t chase down improbable draws just because you have a chance to bust a maniac if you hit it.Remember keep you cool, keep your head on straight, and use the poker maniac’s outlandish play again them.
Good Luck! © by David Harrison
