Online Tournament Tips




This post is mostly about what I have experienced in alot of recent playing in online poker tournaments. These tips have worked for me in not just Texas Holdem, but 7 card stud, Omaha, and Five Card Draw as well.

On To The Poker Tips
When you are playing online poker tournaments, especially multi-table tournaments, I find that it is better to play your cards and your position than it is to try and figure the players out. There is usually too much going on too fast with too many players changing out to be able to focus enough on how the people are playing their cards. I still post notes on the players that are being very obviously such as making big bets almost every hand, we all know they aren't getting a killer hand every time. I also post notes for those who do get good hands more frequently. These guys are pretty easy to keep track of without much effort. All you have to do is pay attention to how he's playing the good hands that he's getting, this way you can tell if he's trapping or fishing.

Playing your position is an extremely important thing to do whether or not your paying attention to the players or not. Knowing position strategy will help you know when it may be a good time to bluff or maybe just slow play your hand.

Play your cards. Don't play crap cards. I know that some of you see plenty of people calling all-ins with the worst hands possible and end up winning, sometimes more than once or twice. This is a terrible strategy and should not be practiced. Those people won't last long and they are never the ones who win the tournaments.

To sum it all up.  Play your cards right, know how to play your positions, and don't play too much attention to the other players.

Making More Money Through Multi-Tabling

Poker Stars


- Learning to play at Multiple Tables -

The first thing you need to do before being able to multi-table is proper setup. This means setting your resolution to 1920x1200 or the highest setting your monitor will handle, however, some sites offer a minimized view instead of the full table view. Alternatively, you can use 2 or 3 monitors with a video card that has dual or tripple monitor support. Make sure that you are playing with a four color deck (this will help you notice flush possibilities alot faster and easier) and with the sound on to hear if it is your turn.

If you are playing up to 2 tables simultaneously, you can still play both the players and the cards. Try starting with 2 low-limit tables to get a feel of the speed of play and the level of attention you need to give each table.

Although you can remember player types with 2 tables, once you start to play 3 or more tables simultaneously, you will find it more difficult to track the players, and will be forced into solely playing the cards and position. The more tables you play simultaneously, the tighter you should play, since you can see about 50 hands per hour per table. Once you feel comfortable, you can multi-table at higher limits.

- More Hands = More Stronger Hands = $ More Money $ -

Why play multiple tables? Easy; more tables means more hands; more hands means you see stronger starting hands more often; stronger hands means more money. Sure, you will still encounter some bad beats. But over the long term, strong starting hands will maximize your earnings. Since the goal of multi-tabling is to play strong starting hands and play tight, you should only play full ring games when playing 3 or more tables.

- Speeding up the Learning Process -

Playing at multiple tables also works as an excellent teaching model for learning poker play as quickly as possible. There is no better teacher than experience, and it stands to reason that the more hands you play, the more experience and knowledge you gain. For example, you could play a cash game while simultaneously playing at a couple of play money tables where you might want to try different strategies out before implementing then into your cash game. You can play in a tournament while simultaneously playing in a cash game so as to take a stab at larger tournament rewards, while still allowing yourself the backup of earning through a cash game and covering or exceeding your tournament entry fee.

Good Luck At The Tables!!!

Trapping, Fishing, and Bluffing

Play Online Poker



Bluffing Strategy - Stealing Pots & Winning Big with Nothing
Bluffing is a necessary component in taking your poker game to the next level and making some serious money. If you sit around and wait you can become impatient and possibly on tilt. This can easily happen when you just aren't catching your cards. Being able to recognize a weak opponent and jumping in an effort to steal the pot can keep you earning even when you're not catching cards.

Bluffing is all about position relative to the button. When you're last to act, you have the luxury of making your play based on that of everyone else at the table. If you sense weakness at the table, you can take a stab at winning the pot regardless of whether or not you're holding any type of hand whatsoever. Be careful not to fall into an opponent's trap.

A semi-bluff is a safer play than the full bluff. It affords a bit of flexibility in the case that your bluff is called. An example of this would be making a huge play on a flush draw whilst holding the appropriate Ace. Knowing that nobody has the nut flush might allow you to make a play suggesting that you in fact have it, perhaps forcing out a smaller flush that has already been made and beats your Ace high.

Another example of a good time to bluff would be when your holding 6,8
off-suite and the flop is K,K,10. If you are the last to act and no one has made a bet you can make a fairly large bet to force the other players to fold thinking you have the third king. Don't make a bluff with this type of move that you can't afford. There will be the occasion in which someone is slow playing the king, however most likely in the situation where someone does have the king they are going to make smaller bets to try and get the most money without everyone folding.


Trapping - Creating More Action & More Money For Yourself
Trapping is an important technique that can be used by a smart player to greatly increase the size of the player's winning pots. If you are far ahead in a hand, exercise patience so as to keep your opponent laying. A strong bet could force players out of a pot you are sure to win, preventing you from fully capitalizing on major hands.

Fake weakness, check-raise, make it difficult for your opponent to get away from a pot. The truth of the matter is that you want to get called sometimes, so you have to bet accordingly.

Trapping is a great way to generate a lot of action where there wouldn't necessarily have been any before. Trapping can be a slippery slope however. By attempting to trap your opponent by faking weakness, you might actually allow your opponent to catch a miracle card that ends up beating you.


Learning to Fish
A fish is a bad poker player who tends to lose a lot of money. Good players are excited to find a fish at their table, and always sorry to see one go. Online poker rooms tend to offer players a buddy list or chat service through which to chat with fellow players. If you find a fish at one of your tables, you can add their username to your buddy list, and then be able to get an alert any time they log on and sit down. Although you can't get a listing of their table, they will more than likely be playing the same limits and you can simply perform a manual table search.

Using this method allows you to take advantage of online players whom you feel you have an edge over.

Poker.com allows you to tag a player with icons that remind you of what type of player they are whether it is a fish or possibly a shark.

Being A Good Winner!!!



I have played plenty of games where I will find some idiot bragging about the hand he just won, it's kind of lame if you ask me. Doing something like this is likely to get people to leave the table and lower your chances of winning any money. People don't like to play with a jack ass like that so why would you want to act like that especially when most of the time this type of person wins with a crap hand who just happened to get lucky. Luck wont last forever and you can bet that you will be the primary target for everyone at the table.

If you want to play good poker and keep everyone on your good side, when you win just accept the win and keep your mouth shut. However, there is nothing wrong with complimenting someone on a good hand even though you beat them, so long as you don't do it in a sarcastic way.

There are plenty of other ways to get someone frustrated or on tilt without you looking like a jerk. One of them is showing your cards, this is a common strategy however you don't want to show your cards to often because that allows people to start to figure out your game play and what you do in a given situation.

Poker should be fun. Good Luck Everyone.

Multi Table Tournament Strategies

Most people tend to think that the best way to play at multi-table tournament is to make alot of bets at the beginning while the stakes are still low. This doesn't work all of the time and you have to realize that if you just are hitting your cards then maybe you should lay off of the betting and start playing a little more conservatively. Your luck with cards can change at any time. Alot of times all it takes is for you to be moved to another table or maybe wait till one of the weaker players gets eliminated from your table.

Early Play
Here is a way that I have started playing these types of tournaments. I start out by playing very tight (conservative). I usually don't play anything unless it is AA, KK, QQ, or sometimes AK. I might change it up depending on how the cards have been falling on the flop but generally I never play anything less than that. This allows me to sit back and examine the players and find out who the fish are and who the experienced players are. This strategy will also allow you to remain at a decent level of chips while the fish get taken out. At the beginning of the tournaments alot of people will go out quickly because there are alot more all-ins mostly by the fish who have weak hands that shouldn't have even been bet with in the first place. Most of the time these types of bets will get the fish eliminated really quick, however there are the cases where and idiot will go all-in with a 2,7 offsuit and end up winning but at least if you play conservatively you will decrease your chances of being one of the players taken out by a crap hand like that.

Middle Play
When the stakes start to go up to a decent level players will start to play a little smarter by taking less chances. Now is the time to loosen up a little bit. I generally have a rule of only playing Jacks or better at this point. Anything less is still to risky, you have to keep in mind that there are still some fish left in the game at this point that have made it purely on luck and really don't know much about the game or simply just don't care. You also have to be carefull at this point because there will be a few players that have made quite a bankroll for themselves and won't have any problem making bets that you may think are big but to them they see it as a small risk to try and get more money or even take you out. Play smart and don't take chances on chasing straights or flushes, leave that strategy to the fish.

Late Play - Final Table
This is the time for you to really loosen up. Start taking some risk and bluff a little. Just about all of the players at this point are going to play very conservative so you will be more likely to be able to bluff them out of hands. You can also bluff to try and steal the blinds, it may not sound like much but the blinds are quite high at this point and any extra chips will always help. Make sure that when you do bluff that you are paying attention to your betting position. Betting position is very important when it comes bluffing especially in the case where you are the last to act and everyone has folded except the two players in the blinds. The chances of them hitting a good pocket hand on the blinds is pretty low and any large raise is likey to make them fold.

This strategy has helped me out alot in large tournaments. It will help take alot of the luck factor out of the equasion when you start out only playing the best hands. Remember to take notes on the different players and get to know there betting style.

Good Luck At The Tables.

How To Cheat, Or Catch A Cheater In Poker

Together with poker’s increasing popularity, poker stakes have also been gradually on the rise.

Online poker websites, competitions, casinos and jackpots are all in the running for thousands of dollars. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that the quality and extent of poker tricks, strategies and cheating is rising.

In actual fact, all over the world, many of these are being used. What you are about to be informed about enables players to be wary of players trying to go forward by the potential use of tricking and cheating.


All about Colluding
Two or more players can be acting in collusion. They are titled colluders as these players collaborate with each other in a shared strategic plan to enable the tilting of the game’s result to their benefit. People who collude cooperate and usually share the game’s profits.

Colluding players usually use signs which have been pre-arranged to inform each other of their hand’s worth. These signs can also transfer info regarding the betting plan’s implementation. It is known too that colluding players utilize distracting gimmicks when at the same time another colluder arranges the deck to his advantage; this is particularly well known when the dealer is also in involved as a colluder.

In order to show their hand, players will frequently flash their cards. In draw games this is quite usual. In cases like these, a participant can expose his or her cards at the time of their retrieval, doing it speedily flashing allowing the partner a fast look.

Sandwiching is another method which colluders utilize. In events like these, the aim is to make a player withdraw and this is done by endeavoring to frighten him or her.

Two players playing a game with a third participant is usually the scene for such gimmicks to occur among the players. Both colluding players may raise the stakes one against the other and in this way cause the pot limit to rise. Naturally, they’ll share the pot up when they finish the game. If this occurs, the third participant has to bet or fold as he witnesses the rising pot limit.

In this case a foreign tongue might be spoken. During the course of the game, this alien tongue enables participants to inform each other. In casinos this is usual practice.

It’s not too much of a risk to cheat by colluding. The majority of players, however, either find it difficult to recognize, or, being able in the least to show proof of it taking place. This is the reason, that colluding has evolved into a favorite means of dishonest playing, on account of those participants wishing to play a game which is fair.


All about Marked Cards
For purposes of identifying cards, players mark them. But in order to be able to mark cards, before the commencement of the game, the player has to obtain them. It’s not problematic when this concerns home competitions. Here, the person who cheats frequently holds the marked cards.

In marking cards, a number of systems are applied, so that the participants cannot easily notice. Marks such as these, are frequently difficult to notice and provide proof, for they are comprised of the smallest of delicate applications to sections of the card’s graphic appearance.

You would never find any pronounced mark made by any veritable card marker. Rather, modifications in design, curves or tiny etchings would compromise a mark. The card’s underside is considered the optimal location for marking.

No randomness is involved in marking cards. Considerable strategy is used in marking cards and is contingent on the game to be played. Marking high cards is the usual preference. High spades are marked also as the twos for Deuces Wild, however, in particular games, for instance, High Chicago. Utilizing the corner crimp, shading, thumb-nailing and daubing are the four usual systems applied in card marking.


All about daubing

The cards are daubed by the marker by applying a specific ink. Only by looking through particular type of special sunglasses can one detect the ink. You can find such inks quite simply by accessing game shops or stores dealing in magic. The naked eye is not capable of detecting the ink. And that is why, poker players apply it for surprising effects.

In applying thumb-nailing, the marker indents a card by using his or her thumb nail by pressure application. Frequently, applying the thumb nail is utilized for identifying the deck’s upper card.

When you shade you also have to take into consideration the ink type. Amending the look of the card is also obtained by this means. However, in such instances, the overall group may notice the ink. But the mark, because is too hard to see as it is made so small and discretely. Therefore, you’re only possibly notice it if you actually seek it.

Corner crimping comprises the ability to take the card’s corner and bend it a very little. As the cheat knows that the card has a crimped corner’s he or she can notice it. A more impressive type of corner crimping happens when the cheat places all the four aces under the deck and crimps them simultaneously.


Faking Chips

Introducing fake chips into the game to obtain an advantage over the other participants is the aim of the cheat here. When players take to the game chips from their homes and merge them into the game, this makes the move possible. On moving chips accessible to all participants around by a player this can also occur. Cheats occasionally play with chips which have been stolen in certain instance.

Nevertheless, fake chips can be prevented in a number of ways from being used in games of poker.

One is by adhering to a rigid policy against cheats and their methods. Anyone caught messing around with the chip should be ousted instantly from the game should be lucidly announced.

A container which can be secured and locked should hold the chips. Participants are frequently more at ease regarding chips protection when friends are playing the game. However, take into account that there’s temptation for the most reliable players. In home games and more serious competitions, a delegated participant should be made responsible for chip maintenance and security.

It is useful to play with unique chips. Bringing in outside chips and phonies becomes harder once unique chips are being used. Thus you should avoid the use of standardized colored chips. Although casinos can use standardized colors for their enactments and use, for games at home the recommendation is to utilize chips as unusual as can be imagined. In this manner, bringing in chips from home into the game will be of much greater difficulty to the players.

At a big tournament recently, there was an instance where they brought in phony chips. Participants brought in new chips sold in the souvenir shops during the 2005 World Series of Poker. Differentiating between legal and phony one hundred dollar chips was made virtually impossible.


All about Angling

When a player resolves to play not in the right turn on purpose, this type of activity is known as angling. The format it takes can be that of betting or folding when it’s not that player’s turn to play. Such behavior is naturally planned to the advantage of the angler.

A folding instance could comprise an angler, at someone else’s turn, casting his or her cards on the table, giving the effect that he is making a fold preparation. Such methods or activities are aimed at staying the other participants in the game by deception. In actual fact, however, without intending to fold, the angler posses a good hand. On arriving finally at the actual turn of the angler to play, he or she makes the choice to stay playing.

When an angler makes pretence at laying a wager, yet once again not in his or her turn, the reverse, but identical deceptive activity takes place. Such activity frequently makes players to fold as it puts off other players from laying bets. And now, as the turn of the angler approaches, he selects to hold back from laying a wager.

Angling is allowed in a number of casinos. The angle shooter has resulted from this evolvement.

Those players who utilize this method too often results in players being coined as angle shooters.

As a kind of strategy, and assuming the bets have been made out of turn, frequently, the casino permits player/anglers to receive wagers or reject bets.

The Poker Hand’s Misrepresentation

One of the quite well-known poker tricks is misrepresenting a poker hand, and it’s also difficult to prove it. At the end of the game when a participant puts down his hand, this is when such cases happen.

This is done when he or she misrepresents the hand by claiming it’s higher than it is in reality. One example is when a player can call a straight flush when he puts down a straight red. Players can quite easily notice this, and when the challenge the cheat, the latter can simply state that he erred. Constantly, however, winning hands are not remembered to be examined by players.

On using a preset card deck

This method is a more intended cheating strategy. Only when beginning the game can it be applied, and can only be applied on specifically designed cards where there is an asymmetrical picture on the card’s back.

On preparing the deck of cards, the cheater has an option, therefore, of showing them all in the identical direction apart from the cards he puts in the reverse direction so that he can identify them from their picture. In this manner, the cheater can target the cards he wants.

Angler and colluders are also among those using prepared decks of cards as well as all other playing and plotting characters.

The Interaction with the Pot

By interfering with the pot and the gross sum within it you can take advantage of it. On betting and taking out money from the pot, the cheater can usually get the optimal opportunity to change the sum in it. One example is, when a player is anticipated to put two dollars in the pot, only one dollar is placed by him or her instead.

Additional complex strategies of cheating are coined adroitness or sleight of hand. It assists in granting an edge over the competitors for the cheater. However, online poker players with more sophistication and experience are usually involved in these methods.

Sleight of hand by Palming

The poker strategy coined palming is where the cheat manages to hide the wanted card either by shifting them into the hand or moving them into another location in the pack. Hiding the card in the hand’s palm is the most fundamental method of palming. This method is carried out by the cheat gripping the card between the hand’s heel and his fingers’ last joints.

In the wake of this he or she can transmit the card to other locations in his body or garments, and take it out late on when it can used for further advantageous moves. The moment he makes a decision that the timing is right for the hidden card, he just removes the unwanted card and inserts the hidden one.

The method of palming is coined frequently holding out. In a nutshell, this phrase defines in between rounds the palming card activity.

Palmers who are well experienced find no difficulty in managing to hide these cards on their body or among various object on a table. It occurs occasionally, that the sole manner to examine whether a player is a cheat is at each round to count the number of cards in the pack.

The Mechanic’s Grip: Sleight of Hand

Players who have immense skill and dexterous cheats are skilled in stirring up movements and sleights of hand and in this manner manager to perform a pack manipulation. The mechanic’s grip is one such move. By holding the complete deck of cards the player performs a mechanic’s grip.

Generally, on dealing, the dealer holds the cards and deals in the hand’s palm with the thumb on the pack and the fingers on one side of the pack. By using the thumb, he slides the cards on to the fingers individually. The card is transmitted to the players when the indeed finger and thumb of the other hand catch the card.

A method exists, whereby the dealer can apply the grip when dealing and so transmit the cards from the long side of the pack to the short side in a manner that peaking the cards is made possible.

Another model demonstrates how the mechanic’s grip allows the dealer to use his hand for covering most of the pack. This method enables too that cards be viewed as they are being dealt to the players.


Sleight of hand by shifting the Cut

To cut the deck, you usually have to let the dealer make the first pack’s cut, then half the deck is shoved to a player, who now makes two smaller decks by cutting again. Bottom cards are now place on the top of the deck. The pile’s center now receives all the cards which were originally on the top and bottom of the deck.

The idea behind cutting the pack is to thwart cheats from dealing a second time, performing bottom dealing and glimpsing. In spite of all this, cheats have uncovered and learnt how to reverse cutting and so restore the cards as well as the pack to its original arrangement.


This procedure comprises three stages.

Stage one: the other deck receives the first or top pile. In general, that this has occurred will not be noticed by other participants. The top of the card pack now merely receives back the top pile. As a result, the card arrangement prior to the cut stays as it was. In general, it’s worth distracting the participants to make sure that the cheat is not observed by the other participants. The majority of cheats are very skilled at this, and are able efficiently and rapidly to perform this trick.

Except if you are about to perform another trick, shifting the cut isn’t too worthwhile.

Sleight of hand by card peeking

Prior to dealing the card the top card, the mechanic’s grip enables the cheat to peek at it. The reason is moments before the card is dealt, the thumb blocks this card. The pinky finger, simultaneously, picks up the card’s long side exposing the lower right hand corner of the card.

This dexterous trick can, in any case, be speedily grasped. In performing it, the participant is able to recognize precisely the cards in each player’s hands, or is even able, in the second dealing, to obtain the relevant card.

In numerous card games this trick can come in handy.


Sleight of hand by dealing extra cards

All the cards required by the cheat are accessible to him in a dealer’s roll. Therefore, he has the choice of dealing more cards to himself. Now, instead of the thumb push of one card, it can push two while dealing.

As the game terminates, dealing oneself more cards is a specific tactic, for the additional cards can be concealed in the table’s pile.

Nevertheless, by dealing additional cards, the dealer is compelled to cast aside other cards, as he is only permitted at any specific time to hold a certain number of cards in hand.

Hiding cards under the table on one’s body is not easy and causes problems, for it’s complex to reinsert them into the game at a later time. Frequently, the sign of a cheat is a low card lying on the floor when the game is over.

Sleight of Hand by Second Dealing

The move of dealing a second card from the pack’s top in preference to the correct primary card comprises the activity of second dealing.

In general, prior to performing this trick the dealer has to peek at the cards. This is the manner in which the dealer knows whether the first card is worthwhile and worth holding instead of dealing it out to other participants. This is the manner which ensures that the dealer keeps the top card.

The mechanic’s grip is needed in the second dealing. The second card stays to be dealt when applying the thumb to shift away the top card.


Sleight of hand by false shuffling

False shuffling comprises four familiar methods. And these are most favored for applying in poker games.

Method number one comprises holding at the bottom of the deck the bottom card. For those cheats applying the bottom dealing move, this is an especially helpful method. The cheat examines the bottom card prior to starting the shuffling procedure. It’s worth shuffling the cards in a manner that allows him to maintain for himself the bottom card.

Switching the bottom card to the deck’s top is another method of this type of cheating.

The cheat applies an undercut shuffle to elevate it to the pack’s top after having glimpsed the card at the bottom of the pack. Using this cautious movement, bringing the lower card to the deck’s top is assured. If you deal additional cards in the game or follow up with a second dealing this could be an especially helpful method.

Manipulating the person’s card position within the pack is the third method of this type of phony shuffle methods of cheating. It occurs during the procedure of shuffling.

In order to carry out this procedure without other participants noticing you doing it requires immense dexterity and experience.

There will be no difficulty, however, for those very experienced cheats in obtaining their desired hand through deck shuffling.

The kings are arranged to pile the top of the deck by these pack arrangers. By separating the kings in the shuffle, the cheater plans on a determined amount of cards. He feels assured that all the four kings will land up in his hand by using this manner.

It is most difficult to discover phony shuffling. It can only be avoided by making sure that the shuffled deck is followed by a cutting.

Sleight of hand by bottom dealing

When the cheat resolves to keep the lower most card for himself or herself then bottom dealing occurs. To carry this out, the cheat deals the participants normally, but when it is his turn to deal for himself, the cheat removes the card from the deck’s bottom and the card in this way is secured for him alone. To perform this, the mechanic’s grip is the optimal technique.

In general, it won’t be noticed by participants that the cheat has arranged for himself that the bottom card is his. The only method for detecting this is if the cheat has tried swiping the lower card and this is also brings out by mistake the card before the lowest one. The hanger is the name of this card.

The next helpful stage is to ascertain ways to protect yourself in the game, now that all the deceptions and cheats are known to you.

All about card marking protocol

By consistently examining tampering signs of cards you are using the best method to prevent it. Using the naked eye it is sometimes not easy and not possible to detect such signs. Occasionally, it can be noticed with ease when an amateur has worked at the job. You can much more easily detect shading and crimping. Such methods should call for a far more frequent card check. Keep your eyes well focused on all the cards on the table constantly, this awareness is a good rule to keep in mind.

It’s not difficult to look out for marked cards when you are dealing. By skimming the deck you can rapidly examine them. Checking cards at all the four corners is like going through a pack of photos with your thumb, enabling crimping to be detected similarly.

It’s also worthwhile examining cards’ back during the course of the game. This move discourages.

Separating the anglers

Angling endeavors can helped be thwarted by separating suspicious anglers. In order to perform the deception, anglers usually have to work in collaboration. Therefore by causing them to play as different tables you can thwart their objective.

Limit your Alcohol Consumption

Serious gambling becomes dangerous if it is accompanied by drinking alcohol. Catching and assessing a cheat is completely damaged by drinking. However, in contrast, you can easily nab a cheat who drinks as he becomes negligent.

Playing poker with unfamiliar players

The risk of cheating rises when you play with strangers. There are players who do not agree to have strangers join the game. This is not a fireproof system, however. What happens if friends bring their friends along for a game?

Although players sense a feeling of more comfort with recognizable faces, not permitting strangers to join naturally creates limitations to the player accessibility. In addition, this does not stop cheating by friends.

Checking out each player’s hand

The integrity of other players as well as their own integrity is the responsibility of all poker players. Therefore, it is essential that participants keep an eye on other players’ hands including deposits and pot withdrawals. In addition to the spoken stage by stage pot interactivity, players can also insist on players showing their hands.

All about deck swapping

After every few online poker games, it is worthwhile changing the deck of cards, as this assists in preventing repeated games with marked decks. The excuse for not using up the cards can be used to diplomatically prevent making a cheating issue fuss.

A dealing shoe can be used

In general, you can dispense them singly by using a plastic container or a shoe store box for cards. This shoe can be transferred around the table from one player to the next. In this manner the dealer task is taken up by each player. Tampering with the cards is also prevented by using the shoe. The shoe does not necessarily assist, nevertheless, and can create a mistrustful atmosphere when applied in games at home.
