First Impressions - by Charles Mousseau
Poker Article by Charles Mousseau Being a top notch poker player, or even a profitable poker player, means being able to read the people around you.

Today, Charles helps you get a feeling for things you can look for in a place you might not have thought about; away from the poker table.


The Power of Aggression - by Michael Thicke
Poker Article by Michael Thicke Nearly everyone who has read anything at all about limit hold'em knows that proper play is 'tight-aggressive' play. The tight part isn't that hard, though it can be frustrating and boring - you just fold a lot. Some people think that only playing a third of their hands is tight, but it's pretty easy to correct them, just by showing what hands they shouldn't be seeing the flop with.

Low Limit Hold'em - by Dal Austin
Poker Article by Dal Austin Low-Limit Holdem is very different from other forms. Depending on what type of table you find yourself playing at, playing styles should vary. This article, I will focus on a winning strategy for an extremely loose table. For a table to be loose I think of it as having anywhere from 4-8 players on most flops...

Make sure you check it out inside to see Dal's thoughts on low limit strategy and an amazing story about breaking pocket Aces!

Playing Ace-Rag - by Stephen Koblos
Poker Article by Stephen Koblos Aces can be some of the toughest cards in poker to play, especially for the less experienced player. I can't count the number of times I've seen a novice player push all-in preflop with pocket aces, only to see the table fold and the pick up $25 in chips; the blinds. Today Stephen comes to us to talk about playing Aces, in particular the difficult ace-rag hand.

Alcohol… The Party's Over - by Daniel Negreanu
Poker Article by Daniel Negreanu Part III of this trilogy is clearly the most difficult for me to write. In Part I and Part II, I shared with you some of the sillier things I’ve done in my life, but they pale in comparison to what I’m about to tell you. This isn’t exactly a rags to riches story; it’s more of a riches to rags story.

Maximizing Strong Hands - by Ron Rose

Short-handed Calls vs. Scotty - by Phil Hellmuth
Poker Article by Phil Hellmuth On the recent Card Player Cruise through the Caribbean on the Holland Cruise ship 'Zandam,' I played in a $1,000 buy-in no limit Hold'em event with 42 of my shipmates. Coming off of an all-night session of Chinese poker (deuce to seven in the middle) vs. Andy Bloch, I decided that I had more equity in the 10:00 AM tournament, than I did playing Andy, even though I'd been up all-night.

Sizing Up Your Opening Bet - by Chris Ferguson
Poker Article by Chris Ferguson I never get tired of saying it: If you're the first to enter the pot in a No-Limit Hold 'em game, never call. If you aren't prepared to raise, throw your hand away. You always want to make your opponents' decisions as difficult as possible. In choosing the size of your raise, you want to give the big blind a tough decision between calling or folding if the rest of the table folds around to him.

Leave Sunglasses / iPod Home - by Howard Lederer
Poker Article by Howard Lederer I know this newsletter is being written for an online poker site, but I hope that most of you still find time to play live poker. As much as I love online poker, I would never completely give up sitting at a table and getting the chance to size up an opponent. This week's lesson will examine why I think it is a mistake to wear headphones or sunglasses during live play.
