The Art of Bluffing: It’s Not All Fire

Friday, August 13th, 2010

The Art of Bluffing: It’s Not All Fire By B. Butler Often the default when a poker player is bluffing is for them to try to fire all the way along. They may believe that the only way to show strength is to continually apply pressure to the opponent, displaying maximum strength and pressure while really they hold nothing at all. More often, though, when you have a truly strong online poker hand how often do you apply pressure with such force? If you really had a monster, wouldn’t you want to slow down perhaps on some streets to give your opponent a chance to catch up or to try to bluff at you? By pressing too hard on all streets, it can begin to look like you are just begging them to get out of your way. More stubborn players, or ones who have seen you play your big hands more deceptively than just firing again and again, might take the time to look you up when it seems like suddenly you are all teeth. Don’t let your fear of getting caught bluffing make you not realize how out of character you really look at Everest Poker FR. The main element to a successful bluff is looking the part, and giving your opponent the ability to give you credit for the hand when you do bet.

Farha Makes Three

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

Online poker pro Sammy Farha won his third WSOP championship bracelet this year when he took down Event # 25, $10,000 Omaha high-low split eight-or-better tournament. He was up against some tough competition too. The heads-up action came down to Farha and James “Flushy” Dempsey, who was hot off his most bracelet win in Event #9 – $1,500 Pot Limit Hold ‘Em.

Farha considers himself to be one of the best Omaha online poker players in the world, and Dempsey was certainly a worthy opponent. In addition to Flushy, there were two other bracelet winners at the final table too — Abe Mosseri and Michael Chow. The heads-up play between Farha and Flushy lasted four hours as they battled to capture the title, bracelet and prize money.

Both of Farha’s previous bracelet wins were for Omaha variations. In 1996 he finished first in the $2,500 Pot Limit Omaha event and won $145,000 for his effort. Ten years later in 2006, he once again had a top win finishing first in the $5,000 Omaha Hi-Lo event.

In addition to his first place wins, Farha has made it to several WSOP final tables, finishing third in the 2002 $1,500 Pot Limit Omaha event, and then coming in second to Chris Moneymaker in the Main Event in 2003.

Step up your game and practice in online poker tournaments and see if you can win a bracelet.

Projection

Friday, June 4th, 2010

A lot of poker players have the tendency to assume that the rest of the table plays in a style similar to their own, so if you recognize a specific style in one of your opponents, it’s a decent bet that he’s going to be playing you the same way.

For instance, say the player to your left has been caught bluffing several times in a short time span. Since he seems to be playing a more deceptive poker game, it’s likely that he assumes that his opponents do as well, so he’ll be playing you as if you were a bluffer as well. This means that when you bet, he’s more likely to put you on a bluff and call your bet, or even reraise you.

This generally stems from the assumption that the style in which you play is the best, and that every other player at the poker online table should be playing that way. Obviously, people have vastly different playing styles, but when a player doesn’t have a read on his opponents, he’ll by default play them as if he were playing against himself. When you find an opponent’s style, don’t be surprised if he plays you as if you shared that style.

Heads up Bankroll

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

We talk a lot about standard ring poker games and tournaments, but one of the most often overlooked and profitable forms of poker is heads-up no limit Hold ‘Em. The action is more intense, you’ll be playing a lot more hands, and you’ll be looking at lots of different situations you wouldn’t normally find yourself in while playing 6-max or full ring.

That said, just like in every other form of poker online game, you have to develop a system for handling your money. You would be insane to jump into a 50NL HU game with a bankroll of only 100 dollars. That’s just two buy-ins, and when you’re chances of stacking off are exponentially increased (as they are in HU play), you want a little bit of padding if you get your opponent read wrong, or if you simply misplay a hand here and there.

A good standard amount is a little less than is recommended for full ring and six-max which is 30. For Heads Up play, 20 buy-ins should be sufficient to keep you afloat if you’re at least an average player.

But there’s something else you need to know about your bankroll when playing HU hold’em poker. If you use a chart to keep tabs on your wins and losses, expect to see a lot more losses in the bb/hr column. Also expect the “Went to showdown” ratio to skyrocket. If you’re a normal grinder, you’ll notice that most of your chart looks like small steps, with a few dips, but it is steadily in the rise in most cases with no huge variance. In HU charts, they tend to take more massive swings than rolls do with more players. That said, don’t be discouraged if your winnings graph looks like a sine wave for a while. It probably will if you’re just starting out, and it will take you a while to get to the point where you’re consistently coming up on the curve higher than from where you started to drop.

Betting into a Paired Board

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

Smaller flops tend to miss everyone at the poker table, and in this situation, it’s a good idea to try to buy it up. Most of the time, your opponents will fold hands that consist of smaller cards, and if the flop comes out something like 6-6-9, the chances are that nobody at your online poker table likes what he sees. When this happens, it’s usually the first person to bet into the pot that ends up taking the hand.

When you see a low flop like this, it’s generally a good idea to come out betting, especially from a blind position. Players who are in the blinds are a lot more likely to play smaller starting hands, and your online poker opponents are more likely to put you on a set when you bet from the blinds.

This tactic can be beneficial in those rare times when you actually end up flopping a set with a low table pair. If you’ve been caught buffing on a similar hand before and you make the same bet with the set, your opponents are probably going to put you on another bluff, calling your bet or (if you’re lucky) reraising you in an attempt to chase you out.

Five Steps to a Successful Blind Steal

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

Contrary to common belief, stealing blinds is much more than a great way to nab a few small pots-when it’s done right, stealing the blinds before the flop comes out can be an artful way to bluff, a way to win with the worst hand, and a lifesaver during dry card spells, and a great way to get into your online poker opponents’ heads. With these benefits comes a bit of danger, though-often, it only takes one player calling your raise to lose the hand for you, so here are a few ways to stack the odds in your favor.

Establish a tight image early on. Playing noticeably tight online poker for the first few rounds will have your opponents putting you on good cards every time you bet into a hand, so fold often in the beginning of the game.

Wait for a weak online poker table-the best time to try to make a grab for the blinds is when there are only a few players involved, and no one has raised yet. Ideally, it’ll just be you and the blinds. Wait until you’re in a later betting position and the majority of the table is folding.

Bet the right amount. Bet enough to scare your opponents out of the hand, but not so much that you’re pot committed if someone re-raises you. Usually three or four times the big blind is about right.

Steal Blinds Sparingly-if you do it too often, people will start to catch on and you’ll get more callers. Usually, I don’t steal more than twice in a button rotation.

Get out if you’re beat-if someone calls your bluff and re-raises you, don’t call him out of pride. If you’ve got rags, fold and make sure that you don’t try to bluff him again.
