  • Cashing In With AA Out of Position


    My last article addressed how to play aces in position for maximum value. This article addresses how to play aces out of position; still highly profitable, but harder to negotiate than when playing in position. Let’s look at this from the perspective...

  • Examining Early SNG Play from a Different View


    It's long been said that correct Sit 'N Go strategy is to play a tight game early when the blinds are small, opening up your game only when the blinds get larger. SNG experts have used ICM (Independent Chip Modeling) to back that argument up. While some...

  • Luck Overlooked


    Blues great Albert King sang, “If it weren’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all.” One way or another, we’re all lucky. Lucky in love, lucky in life, lucky at poker. There are so many aspects of luck that nobody is truly “unlucky”. Some things work...

  • The Pareto Principle


    Have you ever heard the expression, “Work smarter, not harder?” Let’s say you’re selling a new business idea and you’ve worked for days perfecting your sharp presentation and delivered it to perfection, but there appears to be no interest from the investors...

  • Moderation


    Do you remember the first time you ate ice cream? If you’re anything like me, you probably squealed with delight. The fact is I still squeal with delight when I eat some good ice cream. Basically this is because I only eat ice cream once in a while. But...

  • The Howie Mandel Principle


    Among my family's favorite TV shows is NBC's "Deal or No Deal," hosted by comic Howie Mandel. My son likes playing a game where it's easy for him to figure out the rules, combined with yelling along with an audience. My wife loves the interaction between...
