The Downward Spiral

Mr. Norval Kuhn — Thu, 23 Nov 2017 11:40:39 +0000

Whilst all articles relating to improving poker skills refer to the emotional state in which one should play poker, we all know that this can sometimes be next to impossible. In a game known for the ‘poker face’ necessary to achieve success, it is important to be emotionless and focused, but that doesn’t always happen. Even with the best intentions in the world, if the game is going badly, emotions are bound to flare up. This is where the dreaded poker tilt comes in to play. Describing the levels of frustration that accrue over the course of a poor game: it can be severely debilitating in terms of the judgments needed to be made; as more poor judgments are made by this lack of focus, the downward spiral becomes worse; it becomes a vicious cycle and one that can be hard to break. Here are some key points to pull you out of this depression and back into a winning game. Firstly, it is important to recognize that the tilt is occurring. Make sure to keep an eye on your own emotions, check how much you are wagering and notice if this is in response to your feelings. If it is, then step back. It is also important to know what things trigger your emotional responses. Knowing what pushes your buttons will help you to prevent the tilt from ever occurring. Lastly, it is important to be able to calm down. There needs to be a strategy in place to combat the nerves and frustration that have been produced. Understanding yourself when playing poker is the key. A tilt in poker can cause you to lose a lot of money if you are unable to recognize it or stop it from occurring. Listen to yourself and know when you are out of your depth.

Poker the Ginormous Game!

Mr. Norval Kuhn — Mon, 20 Nov 2017 11:44:39 +0000

Poker: from Middle Low German ‘poken’ – to bluff, brag, play. It’s been around a long time and it’s here to stay.

Playing Poker is Very Easy.

Pick up the basics before you wax your moustache, or put on your frilly frock, to hit the playing tables. Suggestion: grasping the rudiments of Texas Hold’em gives you a good grounding for other poker games.

Texas Hold’em basics

You’re dealt 2 hole cards, face down; you bet. Then comes the Fluff: three cards dealt face up into the middle of the table; you bet again; call; raise; fold. The fourth card dealt on to the Fluff is the Turn. You bet again, or not. The fifth card dealt is the River, making up the five “Community Cards” To Win, Get the Best Five Card Hand You Can.

Limit Hold’em

The same rules apply, except that you bet to a pre-arranged limit.

Pot-limit Hold’em

As it says on the tin, your maximum bet is limited to what’s in the pot at the time you make your bet.

No Limit Texas Hold’em

The opposite of Limit Hold’em, this game is for the high rollers. Choose wisely when you’re looking for a poker room for this game, they might be some sharks swimming around and you’re likely to be out of your depth.

Pot-limit Omaha

You get your cards the same way they’re dealt in Hold’em, but 4 rather than 2. The five Community Cards are dealt face up. To make a hand you must use 2 of your 4 hole cards.

7 Card Stud

This has pace, and differs from both Texas Hold’em and Omaha, but you do need patience. It’s a rewarding and exciting game.

7 Card Stud Hi/Lo

This is almost exactly like 7 Card Stud. The difference? The pot is divided between a high hand, as in 7 Card Stud, and a low hand, being five cards that start at eight or below. Easy does it! There’s no pressure. If you don’t like your cards, fold! Folding doesn’t cost you a cent.

Adapting in Poker, and Other Strategies

Mr. Norval Kuhn — Fri, 08 Sep 2017 12:43:05 +0000

Need some tips to sharpen up your poker game? Newbie looking for help getting started? Read on as we talk poker-bots and adaptation, bluffing, aggressive and passive play, and the ever versatile check-raise.

Robots Playing Poker

For decades scientists have been trying to create a perfect poker-playing robot– just as Deep Blue bested Garry Kasparov, and AlphaGo was more recently victorious, so has interest turned to poker, not least because of the potential fortune to be made online if it works! An article from 2015 details a poker writer’s musings about the poker-robot Cepheus, and the way he beat it is a crucial strategic tip: Cepheus couldn’t adapt. Poker is played against other people, and to be most successful one must find and exploit the weaknesses of the other players – one has to be able to adapt.

Adapt

If you are playing with a very aggressive player, who relentlessly bets and forces your bluffs, and you have noticed them doing this, how do you respond? Well, you naturally change your style, and become more passive – keep back a good hand, and let them bluff into it. And if the other player is too passive and reluctant to bet in on hands? Then you go on the offensive, and bluff weaker hands, forcing their folds. Strategy is all about finding weaknesses, and preying on them. But it isn’t just one-dimensional offensive or passive play – the check-raise is a perfect example of an intelligent offensive move. The key is to keep your cool. Think about how you want the other players to play, and think about what they want you to do – once you have got into their heads, you can start to play tricks with them, you can adapt to their strategies, your bluffs will be stronger for it, and so will your calls.

Becoming a Better Poker player

Mr. Norval Kuhn — Mon, 17 Jul 2017 12:28:00 +0000

Poker is a fun game to play and whilst there is some luck involved, there is also an incredible amount of skill and strategy involved as well. In order to improve one’s poker game, it pays to do a lot of studying to get a solid understanding the game. The following article lays out a few tips and techniques that can be used to improve one’s poker game. Firstly there are a few simple tricks to utilize that will instantly make one’s game play better. Never play drunk. Being drunk allows a lack of focus, reckless moves, and a muddled comprehension of the game going on around you. In conjunction with this, it is also important not to play poker when emotional, i.e. sad or angry, as this too will cloud judgment and create a loss of focus. Poker is all about focus so anything that impedes this need to be avoided. As a new player it is also important to play games that are within one’s skill level and that do not have high limits. If a new player enters games they are not ready for, they can become disheartened due to constant losses and this will not create interest in playing at a higher level. Other tips that can be used will take a little more time. Players can read books or articles on strategy; watch video tutorials, or even hire a coach to help them. There are also a number of helpful strategy charts demonstrating what players can do with certain cards in their starting hand – fold, hit, stick, raise etc. these can be learnt, committed to memory and then used in game play. It is important to understand the game fully and completely and then the finer points will begin to make more sense. These are just some basics to improve; other techniques include paying close attention to what other players are doing during the game and also to the cards on the table. This however, will only come after the player is comfortable with his or her own game, and can fully grasp the nuances of the game.
