Payback is the percent of the total bet that a player can expect to return to him when he plays a particular game. The important part here is the total amount staked. The amount you buy is meaningless. We need to add up every dollar (or nickel or dime or quarter) you risk at any […]
I really enjoyed reading Irene Edith’s poker resolution on the December 12 issue of GamingToday. And I told him so. In its resolution, it offers some fantastic advice for poker players looking to improve their results at the table. I can hardly do it either. Let me comment on a few. • While Irene’s resolution […]
I’ve written it many times. “Esther Bluff” was created many years ago by my granddaughter when she was a teenager. I thought it was a good idea to teach him to play Texas Hold’em. As it turns out, poker isn’t the cup of tea. He has other interests in life. But when I taught him […]
This is the second section I want to focus on in today’s column. The second part of the scene lists a series of cheating techniques which include the following: Throw Culls, Pickup Culls, Overhand Run Ups, and The Double Duke. Discard and Pickup Culls: This is a mechanical magic method the mechanic uses to find […]
Free food, discounted hotel room rates, extra cashback are all available when you become a slot club member. I just spent a night with my family at CasaBlanca Resort in Mesquite. We got a free room and a discount for ice cream. I got this without betting a dime at the casino. Even if you […]
This week, we’re going to take a look at other great female poker celebrities. Arguably, Jan Fisher’s poker career started as a kid in Seattle when a family friend introduced him to the game. Several years later, when he was a teenager, his mother took him to visit Las Vegas. During his stay, he walked […]

It is the chip leader, but finds itself in the middle of a tightly contested battle during the six-handed action. In this hand he took KQ to draw a match in the small blind and asked for a raise from Phillip Mighall in the cutoff. Mighall knocked out two pairs and made a small advance […]
Here’s Caro’s advice on playing medium pocket pairs on low / medium limit hold’em, to which I’ll add a few comments: “With 9-9 in the hole, it makes sense to assume your hand was ahead of the flop; so you’re likely to dilute the pitch by raising, hoping to get a better chance of keeping […]
Dunst makes a quick call with his flush and a dominant chip lead, which he turns into second. Dunst can’t possibly take the line of bets he makes with a hand like a set or two. Given all these considerations, Pace’s decision should most likely be either to call or straight fold. Instead, he raised […]
It’s the inequality between (her) Park Avenue life and (my) street park life. But this is not a lot of narrative about Richar, hence it is a table game he made about 3 years ago with David Moss who lives every day on his royal estate. This week (his ideas for Thursday) will legally be […]
It’s actually hard to write for a poker magazine when nearly all card rooms across the country are closed due to Covid-19 concerns. It’s the longest span of time since 1974 that I haven’t been in the rock-and-mortar card room, and I would be lying if I didn’t say that there might be many more […]
Chips – ah, Chips! – is 10 again, placing the middle pair on the board. Again, the stakes are checked for me; so, feeling confident in the strength of my hand, I made a huge bet on Chips. Little Blind folds – no surprise there. But then the Big Blind picked me up! That’s a […]
Elliot Frome, author of the “Winning Tactics” column for Gaming Today, has recently written several columns on Video Poker. In the December 19th issue, he explains “Tactics Tables” in great detail – what these tables (diagrams) are and how to use them for the best results in playing video poker. Video poker has been in […]
One of the biggest stories from this week’s World Series of Poker (WSOP) is David Bach becoming the summer double bracelet winner when he won the $ 10,000 HORSE on Sunday. Bach topped the top 150 players in the world for the $ 383,208 first prize and cemented his position as one of the best […]
