Betting into a Dead Pot - by Charles Mousseau
Poker Article by Charles Mousseau As every seasoned poker player knows, every decision in poker - be it raise, call or fold - is a function not only of the cards you hold, but the players you are facing in the pot. How about when a player runs out of chips in the middle of a hand? Well, at this point, he is considered to be all-in, and such a pot is said to be a dead pot. This is a factor that should seriously affect your betting decisions...

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.

String Betting - by Johnny Hale
Poker Article by Johnny Hale In this column I am going to try to write a little bit about one of the things that I think is wrong with poker, and the way the rules of poker are not always in the best interest of the game of poker.

Betting a Marginal River - by Andy Bloch
Poker Article by Andy Bloch In No-Limit Hold 'em, it can be difficult to know what the right play is on the river when you're out of position with a marginal hand. In my experience, if you think your hand is good enough to call with, you should consider betting the river if you don't think your opponent will try to bluff.

Flopping a Monster - by Richard Brodie
Poker Article by Richard Brodie When I started playing poker, I would get so excited when I flopped a big hand that I forgot my main goal: Win as many chips as possible. When I had marginal hands, I would think hard about what my opponent had and whether I could beat it. But when I had a big hand, I just wanted to get all my chips in the middle.

Poker Article by Daniel Negreanu If you've read a few of my tournament series columns in the past, you know that I often get sidetracked from the actual play of the hands and discuss things that don't really pertain to poker. Well, in this series, I'm simply going to cut to the chase and get to the meat of the hands, since there were so many interesting hands I'd like to share with you.

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.
