It’s Time To Play Aggressive Poker

Most poker experts agree with us when we say that being aggressive is the way to go when trying to win a hand. You can see this aggressive attitude in the professional poker players during the top competitions. It is very rare that you will see a passive poker professional who will actually win.

Now this doesn’t mean that you always have to play aggressively. There is a time to be passive and a time to be aggressive and understanding when to turn it on and off is very important. The trick to being aggressive is to make everyone else at the table feel uneasy as they watch you betting and raising on certain hands. Usually they would be expecting people to be checking or calling because that would make it easy on everyone especially you. That is why when to bet or raise you are throwing them off guard and possibly slip up.

Remember that when you bet and raise you are taking control of the hand and forcing the other players to either check or fold. That is what being aggressive is all about. Taking control and taking advantage of any open opportunity that will increase your money.

Of course there can be disadvantages to playing aggressive. After a few hands of playing this strategy the other players (if they are observant) will begin to take notice and will catch on to what you are doing. You can always bet that someone will sit up and take notice when someone is starting to raise them especially if it is a common occurrence. When this starts to happen they other players will most likely try to trap you by checkraising you when they have a really good hand. Other times they will just call assuming that you will raise again – which if you really want to play aggressively you will. Remember that you want to choose when to be aggressive and when to be passive.

Playing aggressively is a very bold strategy and should only be used if you have practiced and know exactly what you are doing. When you do not play this strategy right you will end up with ‘reverse implied odds’. This means that you will not make any money when you have a hand that can cause you to win the round. Because of this you will also notice that you will pay out more money to your opponents when they have a good hand and win.

Whichever strategy you decide (passive or aggressive) is up to you. There is always a trick to both and it is important to know and practice the proper and most effective way of playing.

Things to remember:

- To be aggressive you need to raise, bet, and checkraise when people would least expect it.

- Don’t always bet and raise when you feel like it. Doing this will cause ‘reverse implied odds’ and will make you lose money in the long run.

- Don’t get ‘revenge’ on people who have noticed your strategy and are trying to trap you. Keep your mind on the game and take notice of what their strategy is so you can trap them instead.

4 Basic Poker Tips To Keep In Mind When You Want To Win

If you want to play poker professionally you need to know the basics. When we say the basics we mean what to do and what not to do for your strategy. We have four important tips to learn and to put to use when you play that will help you to improve your game, win you more hands, and give you more money in your pockets.

1. It doesn’t Hurt To Fold Every Now And Then

Amateur poker players think that it is bad form to fold their hands or they think they could potentially lose out on something good. When learning poker you need to know that in order to win you have to lose a few games. You’ll find that if you try to play as many hands as you can than you will lose out on a lot of money. Always fold your hand when you are uncomfortable with what you have or know for sure that what you have could lose you the round.

2. Bluffing Is An Art Form And Should Not Be Abused

While bluffing is an important part of poker it is not a strategy that should be taken lightly. Now bluffing doesn’t necessarily have to be used during a poker game - but at certain times it can be effective. Some bluff just for the fun of it and this is the worst move you can make. You need to remember and learn when the right time to bluff is and who it will work against.

3. Don’t Play With High Emotions

Never play poker when you are mad or depressed or to get away from those feelings. When you do this you will start off playing a bad game and it will only go downhill from there. You won’t be able to play rational and you won’t think clearly. The same goes for people who usually get mad when they lose a hand. Keep your emotions out of it and play with your head.

4. Keep Your Eyes On Your Opponents

Watching the faces and movements of your opponents can greatly improve your game. This will help you to understand when they raise, what they do with certain hands, and when they are bluffing. Even if you have decided to fold out of the round you still want to pay attention to what they are doing and how they are reacting. Once you know how they will play out their strategies you will have a better chance of bluffing and stealing the pot.

"We're very excited about the prominent international partners coming on board to elevate the overall event experience while allowing us to increase the impact for important charitable causes," said WPT Chief Marketing Officer - Rose Odeh. "Texas Hold 'Em is a worldwide phenomenon that many celebrities love to play, which makes the Invitational the perfect opportunity to bring together entertainment and philanthropy in a fun, yet competitive environment where everyone walks away a winner - and one person walks away with a World Poker Tour title."

Women: a new power in the world of Casinos

Men have always dominated casinos and the world of gambling for quite sometime now. This includes not only casinos all around the world but also Internet casinos although there has been a significant change in the last couple of years.

This change is particular in case of online casinos where, these days, more and more women have been found to gamble.

Even a few years back, bingo was the only socially acceptable gambling that women could indulge in but over the last few years with Internet spading its wings, online gambling has really caught the eye of the net-savvy women who spend more and hours gambling at the various online casinos.

One of the main reasons for the popularity of online casinos is that women have more access online, especially to online portals of gambling.

Online gambling offers women physical security, which means that they can play at their own secured location without being intimidated by other male players.

Other important aspect would be the independence a woman might have while gambling online, which might be curbed at a casino by other players.

Finally, most women enjoy online casinos because it is easy and convenient and it can take you to a different world for a couple of hours.

You can actually shut yourself off from the rest of the world while you are at an online casino.

This is really important for a woman as it helps her to mentally and emotionally be at peace with oneself while indulging in a game of poker or casino.

It has been found that many women are put off by the face-to-face social interaction of games at a casino. A net casino can do away with such situations and allow women to play whatever game they choose and at their own comfort zone.

Online casinos are not fake websites. These websites are real and they offer real money. Moreover, they give you a feel of the casino and make woman players comfortable creating a like-like environment.

These online casinos cater to different sorts of women, as their design is at times specific to a color or a choice of design or sound.

These online casinos have the option of playing with “fun money” if one does not want to risk with real money. Women find this really satisfying as playing with fun money is a great way to gain experience and learn the rules of the different games.

It has been recognized that solitary games such as slot machines and video poker are the most popular among women who gamble.

Although these games are uncomplicated games and do not require any interaction with others, or complex strategic decisions, nonetheless they make you a better gambler.

When a woman is playing a slot or a video poker game it is easy to ignore the world around you, and forget your every-day troubles. But this does not mean that women do not play more complicated games like blackjack, craps and poker.

They are infact very good at it and some of the best poker players are women. For example, 18-year-old Norwegian girl Annette Obrestad won the 2007 World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE) Main Event in London, and took home €1,000,000 in prize money.
