Poker Money is the Best Money

When you enter a big poker tourney, after a while players and their plays will start to settle down and this marks the long process of crawling to get the big pile of chips on the tables.

The bigger the field ofpoker players, the longer before you reach this middle stage. At this period, the lesser skilled poker players are most likely eliminated. Some donkeys though will be a bit lucky and end up doubling their chips at this stage.

One thing is for sure though, majority of poker players at mid stage of the tournament will be having that winning mindset and winning strategy.

Make sure you spend some time studying your opponents and just play the premium hands.  It can be boring but some slow play will be favorable in the long run.

Take note though that a lot of players will also be playing tight so you also need to change gears at times and play really aggressive when you have some strong hands.

When you have the position be sure that you can push those chips forward and if you have a big stack, bully some players and eliminate them from the table. This is the time when you will use what you learned during your down time while studying everyone around the poker table.

You also have to consider that your kind of play will be read by other players

Kenny Hallaert

Imagina this: you’re playing the €10k buy-in Main Event of an EPT event in Monte Carlo, you’re down to 40 players, and you’re by far one of the biggest stacks. You look down on Pocket Aces, and you have an All-In in front of you by the one guy that has you covered at the table.

Mouth-watering, no?

Well, yes – especially when on showdown, you see KK as your opponent’s hand, and the SB claims an AK fold.

Well, just that happened yesterday to Kenny Hallaert, right before he busted from the tournament. The one-outer hit the turn, and his pair of aces lost to a set of kings.

I was crying.

“YOU DON’T GAMBLE YOU DON’T WIN”

Sam Farha makes a sick call pre-flop, but Curtis bets 6000 into a 2000 pot, and really just commits suicide. Sammy is a genius!

ROFL.

Jamie Gold is MY HOMIE, and Alan “Boston” Dvorkis is a DONKEY and a MORON and he’s probably bisexual.

“That’s not even poker”?

IT IS, DUDE!

Barry talking about a hand he played with Jonathan Little during a WPT event final table. Barry Greenstein is so classy, and I love him a bunch!

Later that final table Barry got knocked out by a huge bad beat holding A9 losing a pre-flop shove-battle against K9. BAH!

There are more than 65,000,000 in USA who are addicted to the game of poker. Poker is a very popular game across the globe. This article will enlighten you with dazzling facts about the dynamic game of poker.

Did you know?

The cards meant for playing were invented in China and then transported to Europe in the 13th century. One of the most popular games for the riverboat gamblers in 1800’s was poker. They used to play the game of poker on their way to American waterways.

You will be surprised to know that the French were successful in manipulating the suits in the compact deck of cards. The spades represented royalty, diamonds were the merchants, hearts symbolized all the members of the clergy and the peasants were represented by clubs.

A man names Richard Nixon had won $6000 in poker during his stay in USA Navy. He later went on to become a great political leader. His poker earnings funded him for most of his election campaigns.

The famous comedian Groucho Marx would amass his poker amount or the bankroll in a grouch bag. Hence he was given the name Groucho.

One of the pioneers in the game of poker was Doyle Brunson who had successively won two World Series of poker tournaments with a hand of 2 and 10. You will be surprised to know that as of today both the hands are named after him.

Another eminent personality who was addicted to poker was John Montagu. He was the Earl of Sandwich. He was obsessed about the game of poker so much so that he would refuse to even eat his meals. He could play for hours together. A big vote of thanks to the Earl John Montagu. It was because of him and his love for poker which resulted in the creation of our favorite snack-sandwich.

Just last week Belgian poker player Laurens De Smet traveled to Warsaw to play in the Unibet Open tournament. Unibet Opens are known for their relatively soft field and excellent tournament setups (and entourage), and as usual, quite a few of the Belgian players did excellent.

Here are some excellent photos taken by Hung Tran at the event. Thanks, Hung!

The legendary online poker genius Tom “durrr” Dwan has been on the losing end of the online poker games for the last couple months – but that didn’t stop Full Tilt Poker to add him to their Team of Full Tilt Poker Professionals. For sure, Tom is one of the biggest faces of online poker – and I look forward to seeing him in more live tournaments from now on…

Chris Ferguson, Patrik Antonius and Howard Lederer all seem to be very proud to have durrr on the squad, and they’re right to be!
