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.

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.

The return of an old favourite

Ever since I first turned professional in online poker in 2002 then the game has been continually evolving. This has meant that in order to really stay afloat as a poker player that one has had to evolve with the times or risk no longer being able to be a profitable poker player. Any online poker room will have basically evolved in a very similar way and I have played at most of them in that time. Recently though one of my old favourites has recently re-launched called Pokerroom. Read more

Poker Tips – Avoid Overconfidence

Poker is a game that can over-inflate ones self worth. The sprinkling of luck that the game contains means that even the worse players in the game can hit a golden streak. The natural human behaviour when things are going well is to start expecting it to last forever. Complacency leads to over confidence and when this happens your game can fall apart quicker than a celebrity couple in Hollywood.
Always try to retain a good sense of sensibility about the game. Don’t get carried away when the heat train comes into town. All good Texas holdem poker players know that a £100,000 downswing is just hiding around a corner with a cricket bat in their hands.

WHACK!

After the butterflies have taken off you find it difficult to recover. Your heater has given you a false sense of worth. You cannot remember what your original game looked like because it is totally unrecognisable to you. You feel like you are at the top of the fireman’s pole that has been smeared with grease. In a desperate attempt to try to get that heat back you play more hands and you take more chances. Before you know it you are in a serious pit of despair and you have lost a lot of money.

So be on your guard and understand what overconfidence looks like to you. Winning poker tournaments http://poker.betfair.com/en/tournaments/ is as much about keeping your mind in check as it is the cards in your hand When you see it to start to seep in make sure you stamp it out immediately. There is a very fine line between confidence and arrogance and in poker it can take you a long time to recover from a bout of either.
