  • Playing "Trouble Hands" in Tournaments

  • Become a Better Player Today


    There is no magic elixir one can drink to become a world champion poker player. Most sound advice includes lots of reading, watching training videos, and, above all, playing as often as possible. All well and good, but the inevitable question always arises...

  • Beyond Hand Reading


    Okay, you’ve figured out how to put your opponent on a few likely hands or better yet a range of hands, based on his play so far in the hand and what you know about him. What now? What do you do with that knowledge? If you want to really dominate the...

  • Monte Carlo Lesson Learned


    One of the reasons I enjoy playing poker is the feeling of being involved in something special, an escape from an ordinary life, and for that reason, EPT Monte Carlo really hit the spot. Monte Carlo is a playground for the rich and famous, a backdrop...

    It's almost impossible to find an online table that doesn't have someone talking about one of the various data mining sites (Poker DB, OPR, Sharkscope, etc.). The popularity and interest in what these sites have to offer has exploded in the last few months...

  • What if I Told You You Could Make $4,800 This Week?


    "But Aaron," you say, "I'm no Doyle Brunson, I don't have a huge bankroll, and I actually enjoy spending time with other humans!" "RUBBISH!" I say [authors note: I probably don't say "rubbish," I'd probably say something way more derogatory that would...

  • Two Hands from the Opposite Poles


    March was like a marathon trip to the endodontist for me at the poker tables, but I learned a lot from my root canal-like slump. One thing that was reinforced in a big way is that there is much more understanding of short stack strategy, restealing, etc...

  • One Man's Journey In and Out of Obsession


    I have been meaning to write an article for several months, going way back to the time in which Duff Mcguire quit the game due to the issues brought on by his gambling obsession. This article isn’t so much about poker as it is how to live your life (from...

  • Going Against the Grain


    I received a tremendous amount of feedback (mostly positive, some negative) regarding my last article, Moving Beyond Harrington . I always appreciate the feedback, but as I was reading through it, I realized that many of the people who read the article...
