Play Winning Poker Online By Following These Guidelines
[ Some good general poker playing strategies. ]
by: Ray Bonneau
To consistently win at poker you must not make many mistakes, and exploit your opponents mistakes and weaknesses. I know that No Limit Hold’em is the most popular form of poker, but if you want to play cash games (ring games) online I would suggest playing limit hold’em. Many people make mistakes at limit poker and it can be really profitable for you to take advantage of those mistakes. This isn’t to say that you are going to win money every session or even go on an extended losing streak but you should be a long term winner. Limit poker will also limit your downside if your opponent hits a weak draw to beat you. In No Limit games you can get all your money in on a hand you have a high percentage of winning, but there are times that your opponent will hit a miracle card and really damage your bankroll.
Here is a list of rules to play poker profitably
- Learn the math behind poker - Learn about odds and probabilities and how to use them in poker. This will give you an advantage and make profitable decisions. Read about Odds and Probabilities and look at the Odds Chart
- Learn about table position - Learn about early, middle, and late positions at the poker table. You should play very few hands from early position and more hands from late position because you are more apt to bet last in late position
- Don’t play a lot of hands - You should roughly be playing 20%-25% of your hands depending on the type of table you are playing. Check out the starting hands guide
- Find a loose table with weak players - Find a table with a high percentage of players seeing the flop and staying in hands on draws
- Find calling stations - Find people who will keep calling all the way to the river to a showdown. These are players that make many mistakes
- Stop playing if the table dynamics change - It’s easy to change tables or stop playing online. If the table dynamics change (different players, less/more players) to something you are not comfortable playing then stop playing or find a new table
By following these simple guidelines your poker game should be much more profitable than before. With the explosion of poker today, finding a good table is very important to winning more money. I have more in depth information on my website at http://www.overpairpoker.com.

[ Some general trends in the poker industry. ]
by: Tony Karabetsos
Americans play Poker in many places such as in casino card rooms, online and at home. It is estimated over $170 million in bets are made through online casinos everyday and this figure may double by 2006.
Poker has been a popular card game for years, possibly the most popular casino game. Nowadays, most of the online casinos have some form of Poker. Even television has jumped on the bandwagon with shows such is the World Series of Poker and Hollywood Celebrity Poker just to name a few. There are all kinds of Poker tournaments played almost everywhere in world.
A new magazine, “Bluff Magazine” has been created for online Poker lovers. It is very popular especially with the younger generation.
Poker, just like every other game, requires skills in order to play. Basic know how is not enough. It is imperative to develop strategy if you want to win. This is when a good casino portal comes in, like CasinoCafe.com or our sister site GamblingCove.com. Both offer poker site reviews, tips and tutorials on how to play poker.
Actually, some feel it is easier to play at an online casino; the reason being you don’t face the other players. Your opponents can’t see your expressions which makes it difficult to perseive your moves.
There’s no doubt in my mind that online casinos have played a big role in the Poker explosion. Let’s face it, poker is BIG, it’s getting bigger everyday and it’s here to stay.
HAPPY BETTING!

2005 World Series of Poker - Have You Qualified Yet ?
[ Poker tournament news for 2005. ]
by: Oddvar Pettersen
The 2005 World Series of Poker event is scheduled to begin June 2, 2005 in Las Vegas and an estimated 7,000 players are expected to participate in the $10,000 buy-in, no-limit Texas Hold ‘em main event.
The event will be held at the Rio Hotel and Casino from June 3rd to July 15th, with the last two days taking place at Jack Binnions Horseshoe Casino in Las Vegas.
The buy-ins for the 2005 WSOP events range from $1,000 to $10,000 and most of the final tables are taped and televised by ESPN.
The World Series of Poker started as an invitational tournament in 1970. Jack Binnion invited the best seven poker players in America to his casino in Las Vegas to decide whom Americas best poker player was. Johnny Moss won the 1970 WSOP title by actually being voted the best player by his playing companions.
The 1971 World Series of poker was played as a freezout tournament, meaning one player had to win all the chips. Thirteen players participated and Johnny Moss won it this time fair and square with some brilliant poker play.
T. J. Cloutier has been the most successful World Series of Poker player over the years and has finished in the money in over 30 events. He has won five first place gold bracelets and finished second twice in the main Championship event of Texas Hold’em.
Anyone, regardless of gender or nationality can play in the 2005 WSOP as long as they are 21 years of age and can afford the $10,000 entrance fee. If that is to much for your wallet than there is another way to gain entrance. You can register to play in online World Series of Poker satellite tournaments and with some luck, win a 10,000 seat for only a few bucks!
World Series of Poker has become extremely popular in the recent years. Especially since the 2003 WSOP Championship, when Chris Moneymaker, (yes it is his real name) won 2.5 million dollars after qualifying through a 40 dollar online satellite tournament.
In 2004 there were 2,576 entries for the $10,000 No Limit Hold’em WSOP Championship and the prize money had increased to more than $49 million. Greg Raymer beat 2576 players to win the first price of 5 million dollars for a buy-in stake of $40 which also was won online.
The 2005 World Series of Poker will last for approximately 40 days and an estimated 10,000 poker players from all over the world will compete in more than 30 different poker games. The winner of each event will be awarded a gold bracelet and first place cash prizes ranging from $500,000 to $10,000,000.
