Doyle Brunson: The World Champ Of Poker!
Whenever I think about online poker, one of the first people’s names that pop into my head has got to be Doyle “Texas Dolly” Brunson. This guy is definitely the best online poker player in the world and I have to say that seriously – he doesn’t even remind me of a huge, big time [...]
Omaha versus Texas Hold’em
While Texas hold’em has been the biggest benefactor of the poker boom, it hasn’t been the only one. A similar variant, Omaha hold’em, previously obscure among casual poker players, has also seen a major rise in popularity. Many people have picked up the game because of its resemblance to Texas hold’em, but they soon find [...]
How to Win at Limit Texas Hold’em
The term ‘poker Bible’ is bandied about frequently these days.

I’m on the button [...]
The pain of No Limit…
Did a 24-hour session yesterday, and ended up winning under $100. It’s quite a frustrating feeling, especially when you know I was up about $1600 after like 22 hours of play.

Ace Ten to Ace Eight, a difference of outs?
Poker Decadence Conference, a site we’re linking to already, posted a nice insight into the difference between A8 and AT on their blog today. I understand what they’re trying to say when they mean you possibly have more outs with the 3-gap straight draw, but that isn’t too relevant when the board is A765, is [...]
Tried my hands on a $25/$50 No-Limit Game…
I’m used to playing either 5/5 or 5/10 No Limit Hold’em games, but last night when I arrived at the casino there was no room on either table. I saw one donkey that had been my customer on the 5/10 table playing on the 25/50 though, and quickly started calculating… I didn’t really have enough [...]
