… Or you’ll end up broke!

You know the poker tournaments and have understood, it remains only one player at the end! It’s a little trick of the principle! Well, I do not teach you anything! Ok? Then continue …

In fact, the famous player, beyond pocketing a tidy sum, holds all the chips of other poker players. He built a carpet and therefore used this power as the blinds increased. But what would have happened if the blinds do not increase? He might have won, or maybe not! In any event, the tournament would probably have lasted 3 or 4 times longer, and it would have been difficult to eliminate all poker players! It is for this reason that tunities organize tournaments with blinds that increase, but also Antes. This puts extra pressure and force a little more action.

If you have a small bankroll, you can make your own tournament. You start playing in cash games has low limits and increase every hour …. I’m willing to bet that you’ll end up broke at the end of the day! … In fact, only one remains and it will perhaps not you!

Many players are quick to assemble and process limits in their bankroll as a buy-in tournament. There are probably very good poker players, but their financial results were catastrophic!

So how? Well you need to assess the level at which you feel good! First, you must be willing to lose money is at stake! It is very important: It’s not worth you add extra pressure playing the rent money. A buy-in or a basement should be like a movie or dinner at the restaurant, the money is lost and you play … maybe you’ll increase your buy-in, but it will be the icing on the cake!

Here is a sample shot I played in Las Vegas 2 years ago … I will immediately give the end, it ended at the bar … .. Again. But first here is what happened:

I have a cellar of $ 80, and after several hours of play I had to almost $ 600 for carpet! Good performance, and I start to tell me, I’ll do a cash out shortly. An Irish player (you see the next bar, is not it?) Just sit on my left. The blinds are $ 1 / $ 2.

I touch with QQ UTG and I made a small raise standard 3BB. I raise to 9BB. I pay, placing it on AA, KK or AK! Maybe QQ, but I do not think too much. When to lower pairs, possible but unlikely. It looks like a serious player but not twisted enough for me to raise with JJ or TT or the connectors. In short, I remain in AA, AK or KK.

Flop: QT8 rainbow. Very good flop for me. I am a small continuation bet half the pot, just to be followed! I raise. Good thing I only waited for this!, I raise again, saying he decided not to let go of his hand. He reraised me, I’m a little comedy before restart again, telling him that I do not think (When in fact I’m too happy to believe it ….). He sent his carpet and I pay! He told me he was beaten, I played well and returns KK. The pot is over $ 1200.

Turn: 2

River: K

And yes, that’s poker! And then he offers me a beer at the bar with fair play Anglo-Saxon that many French player would envy. Now back to the subject of this article.

I think I played very well this time! I had the nuts, I put all my carpet with more than 80% chance of winning it! EV makes a dream! Finally, I lost $ 80 on my session. It’s a shame but it is not death! And if you had to make that move, what would you do? No need to wait for your comments. Even the tightest of players never slept his set max. I do not know any pro who would have control of the pot. And if I had to replay this one, I’d play the same way, and I am sure you too! After all, they are only $ 80 at stake just about buy a ticket to go see a Cirque du Soleil at Treasure Island.

We can summarize this move to a draw. You take a ticket and have 80% chance to win double your investment! … The ticket price is $ 80! I buy it without hesitation. Even at $ 100 or $ 200. Why not a little over $ 600 even. Come on, I’m going up to $ 1000! You see where I am coming! Even with EV so strong, you’d play this shot at one million dollars? Normally yes! But in reality, many of us would sleep their hand …. wrongly! The problem is that this move is profitable in the long term! How many millions of dollars you have before you to allow this bet? This example illustrates the fact that you have to play at your level! Do not be afraid of losing the money you invest and have enough money before you to survive the bad beats!

In the Full Tilt Academy , Chris Ferguson recommends a buy-in that does not exceed 5% of your bankroll.

In any case, I’ll remember this one, beers that followed that night, the party in Las Vegas with a group of Irish … .. but that’s another story!

I continue my work on the tournament and I decided to make a few posts on the moves. Today I chose the “Squeeze Play”, well known professional poker players, and a little less amateurs.
The principle is very simple: The first poker player raises. He is paid by a second. At your turn to speak: You make a big reraise.
The first player, even if it has a favorable rating may be afraid of the reaction of his limper, and often lay his cards unless you have a bomb in hand. The limper, who has followed without re-starting player, often a hand too weak to support a re-raise his game and will also lay the squeeze principle is simple, but be careful not to abuse it and you impose a certain discipline.
- You think the first raiser has not so strong a hand he wants to believe. This is often an aggressive player who enters a lot of shots
- If the second player re-raises you, you throw your cards! It is probably on a drawing hand and he is willing to go through.
- You must have a solid and conservative image. In principle you do not show long bluff. Otherwise you risk not being believed! …. and you’re done!
- It’s a move which poker players remember, so do not do it twice in the same part.
If you stick to this discipline, you have great chance to succeed this time! You see, when this does happen, it’s quite enjoyable!
Train yourself to recognize the right situations and get started. It takes courage, sure, but do not think, attack!
Good luck and good poker.

It is 11am in Hong Kong. After some formalities of immigration, we are 4 to take place on the ferry that will take us to Macau after 1 hour crossing. On arriving, we must again wait for immigration. It is about 1:00 p.m. when we leave the terminal. Many buses in the colors of the casinos await players. The Chinese probably run for fear of losing a few minutes of play! We realize at that time the importance of play for people changing. You should know that in addition, Macau is the only Chinese city that can legally play in casinos.

We get on the bus at the Wynn, and arrive a few minutes later in front of a slightly smaller replica of the hotel in Las Vegas! We head to the poker room. It is relatively small. Only three tables are in action. We sit in the middle of China. The atmosphere is jovial and Chinese talk a lot between them trying to impress! It’s pretty funny to see them take to the stars of the TV! It is really funny these Chinese!

We played 3 or 4 hours! I did not really gaming table is very wide I opted for a game tighter than usual, but Q3 is not easy to make sparks. So I did not have much to tell you about the game itself. The level rose to many on the island for 2 years, but the nature of Chinese gambleuse is indeed pervasive. If you go over there, look at the table before returning the blows. You’ll be surprised how many hands that go to slaughter and even more hands that are returned!

This is the first time I lose money in Macau. We need to start somewhere!

I had a great day in this former Portuguese trading. We resume the ferry around 20:30 for Hong Kong where new emotions already ahead. 2 days later, we find the gray Parisian. … No orchids in the street, no junk on the Seine … ..

The game of poker has spread recently in French in France. Amazing graphics and high-tech ergonomics are the key words for these online sites that just crack poker players the most snags.

being constantly unpredictable and good management of its capital are important qualities to be a good poker player. In the eyes of the best French players, skill and emotional control are the best weapons to last.

Finally, we must distinguish between two types of players: players and live players, also known as web online poker players who are not regulars table poker casino .
The most impressive is the magnitude of the gains of poker players online. Almost every week on the internet, huge sums are won by professional players and amateurs. These real virtual poker rooms are gradually gaining ground on the canvas, and most are dreaming of a player.
Many poker players are also getting into the backgammon or blackjack, which are casino games that also use the strategy. There are other variations of poker games or the opponent is the dealer, such as 3 card poker or stud poker.

A good way to vary your pleasures and increase your earnings by becoming a specialist in several disciplines

When you play in cash games, you should be aware of your level compared to the table. Many players follow the rules read in books, assess the level of opposing poker players, their style, and confront all this with the position and value of their hand.

A notion often forgotten, is the assessment that we make its own level after the flop. Indeed, if you have trouble handling a flop, or other poker players at the table are stronger than you, you should avoid to the maximum of the face post flop. Then you have to raise more preflop often strongly to win pots, very early in the game.

If instead you get to leverage your hands, and are an expert in the exploitation of flops, most stick with your good hands. You will reap a greater financial return.

Do not overestimate yourself, and do not underestimate this notion. In the long term it can win or lose a lot of money. You must integrate it into how to vary your game

When in doubt about your ability post flop, stay conservative and try hard with your aces!

Good poker

A year ago, I met Nicolas Dervaux for interview . At the time, I made the acquaintance of a poker player a bit apart. He had managed to get quickly a place among the best French players. His performance at the WSOP and various EFA confirmed his results in cash games on line. Nicolas has managed with great success this fall suddenly keeping a cool head and panache of champions.

In reading his book “A whole blind …” I was not surprised. I have found a boy who talks about his blazing start, and how he arrives at his family concillier with poker. It is also great principles of fair play and a relationship to the money that remains healthy. The pace is very fast and the book will devour! Enjoy some tips at the end of the book.

Do not expect to find a strategy book, but you go into the privacy of Nicolas, his reactions to hot during his performance in tournaments, and his personal reflections on his adventure full of surprises. A very nice gift for fans of poker.
