Desiging a poker bot

Sunday, August 15th, 2010

Well, I’m not really designing a poker bot, per se. But it’s an approach that I’m planning to use for a while. A respected (by others besides myself) poker friend of mine once suggested establishing a goal for your poker sessions, such as, focus on opportunities to float. Then you would keep an eye out [...]

Hands and Postion, even at Rush Poker

Sunday, August 8th, 2010

I think I’ve written about this before, but I’ve been playing a lot of $10nl Rush Poker and seeing some awful plays, so for beginners I want to emphasize something, and that something is POSITION. Position at the table can make all the difference as to whether a hand is a good play or a [...]

Expectations and hopes

Sunday, June 27th, 2010

Playing in loose/weak micro stakes cash games

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

I’m actually “stealing” this from Ed Miller. Well, not actually stealing since I’m giving him credit. The Ultra-Micro level cash games of poker tend to be very loose and weak. A 0.02/0.05 table of eight players might have 4 – 6 players seeing every flop. Players who’s philosophy is, “let’s see what the flop brings”, [...]
