“Welcome,” I said, picking up and answering a Wednesday, May 21, 2003, telephone call I knew to be from my sister, “to The House of Pain.”
If that phrase sounds familiar, it’s because about 25 years ago, Houston Oilers fans used to hold up signs bearing that warning in their home stadium, the...

Although I am starting to believe that pot-limit hold'em is a tougher poker game than no-limit hold'em (an issue for another day) most people still consider no-limit the "Cadillac" of poker games, a line first attributed to the great Doyle Brunson.

Wednesday, September 24, 2008
Last issue, I had the audacity to claim that no-limit hold’em might not still be the “Cadillac” of poker games (losing out to pot-limit), primarily because of the way it’s being played these days: lots of stacks getting shoved all in before the flop, and lots of crossed fingers and held breath...

If I’d felt I was the best player in the field, I’d have been less concerned with pot odds: I’d want a situation where I had a bigger edge. T.J. Cloutier probably would have folded even with the same read, but I’m not T.J. Cloutier, and there were a lot of terrific players left aside from Blank.

The last two tournaments I've played, I've wound up with the successful professional Kathy Liebert at my table each time, which I've viewed as a kind of good news-bad news situation.

Recently I won a couple of tournaments at the Australasian Poker Championships at the Crown Casino in Melbourne, Australia. When I won the second event, $1,600 seven-card stud, I was particularly happy because I figured people might think, "Anyone can win one tournament, but if he won two, he must...

A couple of weeks ago, I came across Jan Fisher's column, "My No-Limit Hold'em Learning Curve Lesson". Jan analyzed a hand from the WPT Celebrity Invitational that she thought she'd misplayed. If I may be so bold as to judge, I think Jan came to lots of correct conclusions, but omitted some points...

I found one of the best and most accurate statements I have ever heard about poker in the Prologue to Jesse May’s poker novel, Shut Up and Deal:
“Poker is a combination of luck and skill. People think mastering the skill part is hard, but they’re wrong. The trick to poker is mastering the luck.”

Online poker is one of the most popular online industries there is and with good reason. A good online poker player can actually make a living for him or herself without ever leaving the house, and even bad online poker players can improve and have fun doing it. Here?s what you need to know to play...

Fifty million Americans have played poker, and at a rough estimate I have derived from 30 years of playing at kitchen tables, college frat houses, serious home games, and high stakes casinos, about 49,990,000 play poker pretty badly.

Lately, I discussed a $2-$4 hold'em session at Commerce Casino in which I was playing with my friend George sitting on my right. A new acquaintance and a relatively new poker player, Kirk Noda, was sitting to my left during that session, and had been an engaging, friendly opponent. At one point...

David Sklansky, in his wonderful book The Theory of Poker, discusses the "penny wise and pound foolish" error at length. A mistake that costs you one bet is a small error; worth avoiding, certainly, but only a small error. A mistake that costs you an entire pot is a disaster. In the kind of pots...

What should you do when you're in a poker game and it's clear to you that one or more of your opponents can play far better than you? It's a common situation, and before I jump into it, I first tip my cap to Wendeen Eolis, who came up with the idea.

I've mentioned, or been asked about, the story that follows enough times in passing or in short form to justify finally giving the full version and being done with it.

About a year ago, one of my best friends, the outstanding gaming writer Michael Konik, wrote a book called Telling Lies and Getting Paid. This isn't a review of that book; I've already done that and recommended it. Rather, we're going to look at just when it is and isn't acceptable to "lie" at a...

The number of players trying their hand at real money poker online is growing daily. Even people who live in the poker capital of the world, Los Angeles, play online frequently. They don’t have to drive to the cardroom, they might want to play for just an hour or so late at night, and if they...

I'm big on fairness, and one of my fundamental rules of fairness is, "If you're going to dish it out, you have to be willing to take it." The rule's application in life is practically endless, but it has more than a few poker applications, too. If you tell bad-beat stories, you'd better be ready to...

When the pride of Madrid, Spain, 29-year-old Carlos Mortensen, got heads up with 54-year-old American Dewey Tomko at 6:50 p.m. on Friday, May 18, at the end of the 2001 World Series of Poker no-limit hold'em championship, I knew I'd soon be seeing stories that played off Mortensen's roots by saying...

When poker players shift away from the seven-card stud family of games and start playing hold'em, they must get used to posting blind bets instead of antes, and to using a dealer button to indicate the dealer's position.

The object of poker is to win money, rather than to make a big hand. Often a beginning player will ask me “What is a good hand?” and I’ll say, “It depends.” A royal flush can’t lose, but if everyone folds when you bet it, and you only win the blinds or antes, it certainly isn’t your best hand of...

In general, I'm a big fan of poker tournaments. On a personal level, I perform better in tournaments than I do in ring games (a fact that tells me I have some work to do on my patience in ring games). But as a writer and teacher, I'm also a fan of tournaments, because:

I've spent so much time hanging out with professional poker players the last few years that I've started getting caught up in some of their beliefs—chiefly, that "home town champs" or "tourists" have no realistic chance to win when they visit Las Vegas or Atlantic City and play in high stakes side...

I think I’m starting to change my mind about the virtues of online poker. Although I’ll never be able to see my opponent’s neck veins pulsing online, I’ve been playing a fair amount online lately and I’m starting to recognize some tremendous potential for improving one’s regular poker game.

A lot of poker players focus so strongly on their own games, and their own strengths and weaknesses, that they miss the forest for the trees. While improving your own game is always important, the most successful way to make money at poker is by finding a game where your opponents are worse.

Be careful what you ask for, you might get it.Following an extraordinarily long first day of the opening $2,000 Limit Hold'em event here at the World Series of Poker, I was keeping my fingers crossed that we might have a final table that ended before my flight out of here early Monday morning.

With very few exceptions, poker players take their first poker “baby steps” not in the legal cardrooms of California, Nevada, and an ever-growing number of other states (and countries), but in private games, often held in someone’s kitchen or basement, or perhaps a dorm room at college.

Many of the advanced poker books I've read do a wonderful job of teaching poker like a science designed to do one thing: extract money from one's opponents. The authors seem to believe that any energy one exerts on other matters is a waste of time, and distracts the player from The Poker Lord of...

People play poker for a lot of reasons. Some play for the money, some for the companionship, some for the intellectual challenge, some for the gaming thrill, and quite a few because the poker table provides the one place in their lives where they can run their mouths without fear.

You can find my "10 Basic Rules of Gambling" in Chapter 40 of Casino Gambling the Smart Way, and those rules are worth a review before any casino trip. In a poker game earlier today, I re-learned (the hard way, as opposed to the smart way) a long-forgotten addendum to Rule #3. Before we examine...

A reader recently wrote to me and asked, "What advice would you give a young person (mid 20's blue-collar job) who is considering becoming a full-time professional poker player?

One of the reasons a lot of people play poker is to be able to engage in conduct that isn’t acceptable in other arenas.

Many poker theoreticians-especially those who focus more on mathematical analysis than on psychological aspects-will tell you that the only reasons to leave a game are performance related.

Unless you’ve never read a good poker book or this is the first time you’ve ever picked up a poker magazine, you have already that abusing weaker players at the table is a bad idea. What you probably haven’t read or learned is just how many different ways this practice hurts you.

For five hours, I watched Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott, one of England's and indeed the world's greatest poker players, put on a virtuoso performance in the $1,500 (with rebuys) pot-limit Omaha event at the World Series of Poker. He got better and better, especially as the game got shorthanded.

For quite a long time, most but not all no-limit hold'em experts have been adherents to the principles behind "small-bet poker."

My opponent exchanged eight reraises with me into a board that read A 5 2 9 3 before he finally called and said, "No reason to raise anymore, I guess we have the same hand," a pretty interesting comment since there was a potential flush out there, and he turned over his A-4 off54suit for the...

While many of us like to talk about "a friendly little game of poker," let's face it, even when we're playing with people we like, we're really playing against them, not with them. Although certainly more civilized than violent conflict, successful poker is a kind of warfare, full of strategy,...
