- Nov 07, 2020
I dropped out of school to play poker, and at 21, I moved from Toronto to try my luck as a pro in Vegas. I ate the typical meat-heavy diet of most poker players in the '90s: burgers and steak, along with French fries, mash, and a bucket-load of wine, beer, and vodka. There was nothing fresh in my diet, and I felt terrible.
- Healthy

- Nov 07, 2020
I try not to push veganism specifically. If I'm asked for my advice, I say just eat healthy.
- Just
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Hyper-aggressive poker is most effective in games where players are happy to just call rather than reraise.
- Must

The biggest differences between Omaha and Hold'em is that you get four hole cards in Omaha as opposed to two in Hold'em, and in Omaha, you can only use two of your hole cards and must play three cards from the board.
- Hand
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
One pair rarely wins an Omaha pot, even if that pair is aces. In Hold'em, on the other hand, a pair of aces is right around the average winning hand.
- Gamblers

- Nov 07, 2020
High-stakes gamblers love heart-racing Omaha-type action; normal poker players don't!
- Coins
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's rare to find these true coin flip situations in Hold'em but surprisingly common in Omaha. That's one of the reasons why Omaha is the perfect game for action junkies who relish the notion of flipping coins for large sums of money.
- Field
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The World Series of Poker has always attracted a competitive international field.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Chess is a great training ground for poker players because it's a math-based game, much like backgammon is.
- Better
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Playing chess can make you a better poker player because it forces you to think several moves ahead. That kind of intense mental exercise develops a deeper level of thinking than is typically encountered when playing poker.
- Nov 07, 2020
Experienced no-limit Texas Hold'em players understand the importance of reading flop texture.
- Like

The danger of paired flops is directly related to how high the pair is: there's less risk in a flop like 2-2-7 than Q-Q-8. Why? Because most players will fold a hand that contains a deuce but will play hands that contain a queen like A-Q, K-Q, Q-J, or Q-10.
- Hands
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
High flops like K-Q-9, K-J-10 or Q-J-8 are dangerous to pocket aces. That's because these flops will more likely to connect with the range of hands that your opponents will typically play, like 10-J, K-Q, 10-10, or 9-10.
- Money
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The most obvious difference between a cash game and a tournament is that in tournament play, once your chips are gone, so are you. In a cash game, you can always dig into your pocket for more money.
- Patience
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Tournament play demands patience to survive and win. Winning at cash games demands a whole other level of thought and deception. You need to reach into your bag of tricks and run the occasional big bluff to be a consistent cash game winner.
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I am most challenged by playing cash games against the world's top players. These games force me to think several moves in advance, like in a game of chess. And though I also find tournaments fun to play, they just don't provide the constant brain buzz that cash game players crave.
- Difficult Decisions
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Playing deep-stack, no-limit hold'em is a very complex game where the most critical and difficult decisions come after the flop.
- Fans
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Deep-stack games like High Stakes Poker are the favorites among both poker pros and avid fans of televised poker. In these games, the most talented players shine and the most exciting action takes place.
- Small
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The value of small pocket pairs comes from the possibility of flopping three of kind and winning a sizable pot. To that extent, playing this type of hand is a low risk/high reward proposition.
- Need
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Moving all-in with a small pair from early position only makes sense when you are severely short-stacked and desperately need to pick up the blinds.
- Good Thing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's never a good thing when an opponent has a solid read on you pre-flop.
- Make
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In No Limit hold'em tournaments, size your bets based on your opponent's skill level. You can cut corners by betting wisely - save a little here and make a little extra there.
- Choose
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's one of my basic premises for tournament play: Choose to bet the lesser amount when a smaller-sized bet will accomplish the same objective as a bigger one.
- Focus
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Beginning players are predictable and rarely bluff. They tend to focus only on their own hand and simply hope to catch the one card they need to improve.
- Hands
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I like to peruse the Full Contact Poker online forums to read and comment on posts about interesting poker hands and whether they were played properly. I find that many of the contributors consistently suffer from the same problem: they are far too preoccupied with statistically insignificant aspects of a poker hand.
- Game
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Obsessing about statistics won't make you a better poker player. In fact, you'll end up wasting too much valuable time on that stuff when you should be concentrating on crucial issues, like getting a read on your opponents and studying the psychological aspects of the game.
- Chunk
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Any call that jeopardizes a big chunk of your chip stack just because you think your opponent might be on a bluff is flat-out wrong.
- High Percentage
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's imperative to save a few chips whenever possible when playing small-ball poker. You never want to risk a high percentage of your chips unless you're dealt a monster hand.
- Coin
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In tournament play, it's generally advisable to avoid risking large sums of chips in coin flip situations, like pocket sixes versus A-K. After all, the pocket pair is only a very slight heads-up favorite.
- Calculations
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The ability to perform basic math calculations is certainly an integral part of playing fundamental poker. But in tournament poker, it's equally important to understand that survival often trumps mathematics in coin flip situations.
