Blind stealing is a skill to be learned. This not only prevents the blind from eating our stack, but let us be going to the next level with some comfort. But to steal a boat must take into account certain factors:
1) The size of the stack of our rivals. This will give us a guideline of who can steal the pot. A small stack can see our desperation increases, a big stack because they...
Suppose we have two possible hands to choose from: 7-8 suited, or AJ offsuit. Logically, the decision will depend on many factors, not the value of the cards: the playing style of the table, our position, bets that have been made, and more.
Let’s look at several possible scenarios:
In the first, all pass and we are on the button. In the second, we are also the button, but 5...
In general, especially if we play at low limit tables , we only have on hand if we have one of these starting hands: trips, a couple or three cards that can form a straight or a flush. Obviously this is not automatic, since, depending on our experience, our position, our rivals, and our image in the table, there will be another type of hands that can play. But if we are...
1) If you’re thinking of making a lantern , we must first look at the stack of our opponents: if you have already put almost all his chips into the pot, re-raise our non-frightening, really, to leave his hand. Conversely, if you have a marginal hand is most likely to make all-in , and will only win if we have a decent hand. 90% of the players in this situation see our...
The small ball strategy is to play a lot of starting hands in an apparently aggressive, with constant increases, but always small, to give a loose player. Obviously, this is just an image. To use this strategy we have, as players, two conditions: one is to read very well to rivals, and second, have an excellent post flop play. So it is a poker strategy not recommended for...
Tip 1 : It is important to choose the Sit & Go tournament that we enroll. There is a table SNG and multi table tournaments. The more players registered (and, therefore, more tables), the bigger the prize. It also means that we will be more time playing. It is important to decide whether we have the time needed to complete the tournament, and if the prize is worth the time...

Beyond its origin, what we do know is that the poker (or its predecessor) came to the U.S., more properly to New Orleans around 1800, brought by sailors who arrived with their...
Once we have determined the style of play of our opponents in heads-up, we can use that to our advantage. If often happens, we should see when you bet or better yet, upload your bets, depending on the cards we have. As the blinds are low at the beginning of the game, try to see flops all we can. But if it is aggressive and goes often, we may need to get a bit tighter and more...
