  • B&M Tipping Etiquette


    While most players understand that tips make up a good portion of a poker dealer’s income, many are confused by exactly when (and how much) it is appropriate to tip dealers. There are three general categories poker tipping falls under: cash games, tournaments...

  • Blog - A Format for bad beat stories.


    At the end of my last blog I was considering giving you the quick version of the bad beat that knocked me out of the WSoP qualifier on Stars. I spared the reader my sob story because I hate bad beat stories more than anything and I try to tell them as...

  • Blog - What a fish I am...


    On Sunday I was staked in both the $1 Million Guarantee and a $650 buy-in WSoP qualifier, both on Stars. As many of you know I haven't been playing a lot of tourneys lately. The ups and downs of tournament poker can be frustrating for me, and cash games...

  • The Third Coin Flip


    Anyone who has watched poker on television for 15 minutes knows by now that there is a classic pre-flop coin flip scenario in the game of Hold’em: a pocket pair is a slight favorite over two unsuited overcards. The odds on this scenario range from a true...

    It's 3 a.m. the night before the official Day Two of my first ever WPT tournament, and of course I cant sleep... I've worn out the rug on my hallway....I've taken the elevator from my room down to the radisson casino at least 30 times to check...

  • Set Mining


    WillisNYC is an instructor for pokermentors.com . This is such a basic concept of ring poker. Yet it constantly amazes me at how few people know and apply the concept of ‘set mining’. The concept is based on the odds of a person, who holds a pocket pair...

  • Blog - ShortHanded Fixed-Limit Plays


    I've been playing almost exclusively short handed fixed-limit Hold Em over the last week, and it has been a great run. Up almost $4k in 6 days is a pretty good run for me, even with a few tough sessions thrown in. My usual win rate when the game is...

  • On the Importance of Cashing Out


    It is raining; the dull grey clouds reflect Vancouver’s city lights on the wet asphalt as I approach Big Rock Casino. When the hell are they going to finish the damn landscaping? As I walk in, the bright lights and almost continuous jangle of slot machines...

  • All my opponents suck! What do I do?!?!???


    Hi guys, I haven't written any articles for pocketfives in quite a while, but I recently got involved in a thread where I ended up accidentally writing what may have been the best post I've written in a while. The thread was pretty typical. You...
