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.

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!

A satellite poker tournament is a low buy-in poker tournament that awards the winner(s) an entry to a higher buy-in poker tournament.
A satellite tournament may consist of one poker table or many.

So we can say that a a Satellite Poker Tournament is a multi-tiered approach to winning major poker tournaments.

For example, in Odds Poker you can have 100 players might enter a $2 Satellite, with the total prize pool of $200.

Based on this prize pool, winners will be paid out with Satellite coupons to a higher buy-in poker tournament.

These coupons could be $10, $50 or even one $200 coupon, which would in turn be used to enter a higher level of Online Poker Satellites, one step closer to the poker grand final.

So as you can see there isn’t much secrets in what satellites poker tournaments are, what you must retain is that normally this is could be your ticket to big poker prizes, with little investment….

Cheers and happy poker online!

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.
