Posted in holdem by Patrick Bruel on October 5, 2009

Pot limit holdem can be dangerous areas to bet aggressively unless you have monster hands. I never risk betting high unless I have a better pair of J, Q, or K in pot limit holdem games.

Bluffing calling a raise in these games requires real skill a little slip means a multifold loss of your stakes! (more…)

What is Texas Holdem? Texas Holdem is lot of fun from my experiences. Initially, I was kind of confused. I knew the rules of the game, but applying it in the right place required some real losing.

Sure I had my swings where I could turn that $300 into $1500 but usually it was just out the window. (more…)

Am I over-exaggerating? No. The secret of this manual is that, while he expresses many of the same thoughts and ideas as other poker players/writers, he is far superior to them in the teaching of technique and strategy.
