  • Calling


    Calling I don't call very often. I don't think it is the "best" play possible out of the four options the highest percentage of the time. I think betting is the highest percentage play, of course. Second would be reraising, third would be folding. Lastly...

  • Play Poker As You Would From The Rail


    PLAY YOUR POKER AS YOU WOULD FROM THE RAIL Making correct decisions at the poker table is important. Sometimes, it almost seems impossible to hit the raise button or call button because you are scared to death you might lose. An example would be having...

  • Showing some sack


    I basically showed balls everytime I could in the Paradise 50k tonight making several tough and gambling type calls. Calling an all in with TT near the bubble for a big pot where I was fairly certain I was against AK, and again with 11 left with KQ, getting...

  • Pathways Series: Omaha


    I meet so many people who are fascinated by what I do, and they always ask me the same thing: "Do you think I could play cards for a living?" My answer has always been yes. All the information you need to learn the game is out there. Given a modicum of...

  • Aruba day 1 forgot about this


    at 300-600 the donkey makes it 1600 from the cutoff position. I call the 1600 with AJ in theSB . everyone else folds. The flop is J 9 2 rainbow. I check he bets 2k and I go all in for about 10k. He calls immediately with A9 and the turn and river cooperate...

  • Aruba Day 1


    I had a fairly solid first and only table yesterday. Bob Hume on my left, a pretty good player and Robert Williamson on the right. There was a gentleman two on my left whom I recognized from the Bellagio but not sure who he was and another guy on the...

  • A View Into The Mind Of A Donk


    A View Into The Mind Of A Donk After playing 450 SNG's within a matter of 3 or 4 weeks, I can confidently tell the pocketfives community that I am indeed a winning player. I don't believe that after this many SNG's, that my results can be chalked up to...

  • HOLD ‘EM: A Seven Card Game


    I’m a player who likes to see a lot of flops, for a couple of reasons. One is that I find that aspect of Hold ‘Em more interesting than the “put it all in the middle pre-flop and let the poker gods sort it out” approach that is pervasive amongst the current...

  • Bluffing


    BLUFFING I bluff over 99% of the time I play poker. The first thing I need to say before I begin is that you cannot be a longterm, consistant winner at poker if you do not bluff. You have to bluff to win. If you can't handle bluffing, than be prepared...

  • More Low Limit SNG Online Tells


    More Low Limit SNG Online Tells Here are a few online donk tells I've discovered. 1. The Coddle Bet. It's when a player makes a very enticing bet for you to call, because they know they have a better hand than you. It's just like them saying "C'mon, call...
