Poker Challenge 2- A few weeks later

September 28, 2009

It has been a good few weeks since i got burnt playing online poker. I finally have the courage to start playing my game and ripping the tables up.

This time, i will start by playing free rolls and building up my bankroll by placing in these tournaments. My goal is to play as many free rolls as possible and try and place in the money for at least 10 of these. I will start today and will record my tournaments and let you know how i do. Along the way i will highlight the online poker sites that i will be playing on and give a summary on how i find them.

The fundamental theorem of poker, introduced by David Sklansky, states that: every time you play your hand the way you would if you could see your opponent's cards, you gain, and every time your opponent plays his cards differently from the way he would play them if he could see your cards, you gain. This theorem is the foundation for many poker strategy topics. For example, bluffing and slow-playing are examples of using deception to induce your opponents to play differently than they would if they could see your cards. There are some exceptions to the fundamental theorem in certain multi-way pot situations, as described in Morton's theorem. In this section we will analyse the mental aspect of playing poker...when, how, why and bluff.
