The Australian Poker Hall of Fame

It is January and the travelling poker circus has just pulled into Melbourne Australia and that can only mean one thing – The Aussie Millions.

In 2009, during the festivities of the Aussie Millions, the Australian Poker Hall of Fame (APHOF) was launched, to laud praise on the poker players who have contributed in a special way to this great game of ours in Australia.

The APHOF already includes luminaries such as Joe Hachem, Jeff Lisandro and Mel Judah and joining that great bunch of players is David Gorr and Jason Gray. Gorr has been involved in the game for years and would be the first to admit his title of veteran is a suitable one. The Crown regular is best known for his amazing achievement at the 2011 Aussie Millions when he took down the event and $2 million in prize money. That win placed Gorr into fourth place in the all-time Australian money list. Fans of www.betfair.com will be keeping a close eye on things.

Gray, on the other hand, has amassed over $1.1 million in live tournament earnings. Included in this haul are victories at the $25k Victorian Championships held in 2007, a third place finish in the 2008 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Omaha Hi-Lo Split event and securing a runner-up spot at the Asian Poker Pacific (APPT) Sydney Grand Final the same year. Those looking at Betfair Free Poker will be impressed.

In order to qualify for the APHOF you must be a current or former resident of either Australia or New Zealand, demonstrated outstanding and extended service to the game bringing credit to Australian Casino Tournament Poker, and/or having displayed significant player excellence.

Pokerroom is back with a bang

One of the old favourites in online poker is back with a bang this year and that is Pokerroom which was one of the most popular online card rooms a few years ago. I think as a ten year industry pro then it is important to have a selection of solid poker sites to play poker at. This is especially the case with cash poker games because if you are playing at serious levels then the regs at these levels will quickly get to know you and adjust. This is not good news for your earn rate because I have known many online pro’s whose earn rates have fallen the longer that they stayed on a certain site. Read more

CRUSHING ONLINE SINGLE TABLE TOURNAMENTS PART 1

The single table tournaments or sit and go tournaments  as they are better known are spreading like the proverbial wildfire in online card rooms like www.pokerstars.co.uk and all over the net. Their rapid quick tempo means that the entire tournament is over in under an hour mostly. This super quick time frame appeals to many online poker players that do not have the time to commit several hours to playing the game and the much longer time frames that are required to play bigger tournaments.

Play Online Casino Games for Money

Don’t let fear or lack of knowledge stop you. You can play online casino games for money and enjoy the experience!

It’s probable that no casino game has captured the imagination and attention of people in the last decade more than poker (especially Texas Hold ‘Em). In the past 20 or 30 years, slots have become a favorite of thousands as well. Add to these two classic games the attraction of craps, baccarat and other games and you have some opportunities for a wonderful online experience.

Poker Players New Years Resolutions

As our wonderful green and blue world grows one year older, people all around the globe will be taking the opportunity to create some new goals for themselves and poker players will be no different.

So what is a poker goal? A poker goal can be anything to do with poker but some of the more common ones will be to play a set number of weekly hours online, to play a set number of live tournaments, to reduce mistakes, to study at least one hour per week, to get a coach or to post five hands per week on the 2+2 forum. Fans of Betfair Poker Online should bear this in mind.

Unfortunately, most people are not very prepared when it comes to accomplishing New Year resolutions. It is hard work to create a goal and then schedule the work in order to achieve it and this is something that a lot of people under-estimate.

In the beginning the inspiration behind the goal will spur you on and you will see some immediate results. But once the inspiration wears off a lot of the old patterns will emerge and the new goal will become a distant thought.

If you are going to set yourself some poker goals then here is some advice. http://poker.betfair.com/en/

Decide what it is that you want to achieve and why?

Only set yourself a few difficult but achievable goals.

Create a plan – how are you going to do it?

Risk assess – what is going to get in your way?

Review – How are you doing and do you need to change anything?

Goals are an essential method of improving as a poker player, just make sure you put in the hard work.

Poker tournaments or cash games

If you are serious about playing online poker then you need to decide which form of poker suits you better. On sites like www.pokerstars.co.uk then you will have more choice than you can literally shake a stick at. But both tournaments and cash games suit different people. In tournament poker then you have the excitement level that is simply not present in cash games where if you are of a certain disposition then they can literally bore you senseless. For me though I need the regular income and this can really only be achieved by playing cash games. Read more

The concept of multi-tabling pot control

These days I think that there are three main ways to make money playing cash games. The first is to play deep stack and to only single table and to exploit the players who multi-table. Any strong poker player should increase their bb/100 doing this but will also decrease their $/hr figure while increasing their variance. It is more than possible to make up for your opponents being solid if you can feel their game out much better. There are several downsides though to playing in this way and one is that if your opponents balance their ranges reasonably well even though multi-tabling then your edge may not be as great as you may think in some cases.
