Poker Challenge 2- A few weeks later

Sep 28 | by admin | Poker News

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.

Watch this space!!!

Hi Alistair

Thanks for the previous email with regards to the league in northern suburbs. Unfortunately this season will be on hold, as i explained earlier we are expanding and there is a little more work involved..lol..

Yes it was me, i must say. Lately my tournament poker online sucks. I have been playing the tables again and its been a blast. I have a new theory and way of play and it has blown my mind..lol..

Wow, 28th hey…that’s brilliant. Keep it up…what was your alias?

Protecting your blinds - The key to winning poker? There are many players who lay down their hands to blind stealers or on the other hand don't steal enough blinds to be competitive. There are a few strategies to employ when making a bid to be more competitive at the the poker table. Identify the Blind Stealers - These players are generally players that steal blinds to boost their chip stack. The tend to pick on one or two weak players in order to get away with stealing their blinds. Blind stealers act when they have the positional advantage and when there aren't too many players contesting the hand. Play Position with the Reverse Bluff- Remember position when attempting to steal your blinds. If you have a decent hand and there is a late raiser, try to counter with a c-bet tactic. The'' reverse bluff'' is a vital part in protecting blinds. Use this with great caution and pick your spots very carefully! Don't fall in Love with you Blinds - As much as you want to protect your blinds, dont go over the top and loose more than just your blinds. If the action is too hot for the hand you are holding then pull out early. Raise when in the Small and Big Blind- Don't allow limper's to be part of your your hand. So ask the table a question and see who is serious about there hand by putting a small raise. Represent the Bad Flop- If the flop spills over a number of low and random cards with straight , set or full house draws then represent with a marginal bet. This is vital as most players have come into the pot with strongish hands like AK, Q 10 etc. ie. Flop is 3h3d6c, bet into this hand and lead from the start- 9/10 you will win the hand without hitting a single card. * use these tips at your own discretion, taking into account the tables players, betting history and so forth
