According to pokertableratings.com, my performance at 100NL tables today was top notch as I won 12BB/100 for almost 7,000 hands. Compared to all players from the most popular poker rooms I managed to make the most and be the top winner at 100NL for the day.

Playing at 6 poker tables with a winrate of 3BB/100 is the same as playing at 12 tables with a winrate of 1BB/100. That means that if you double the poker tables you play simultaneously, you don't need to play that well in order to make the same amount of money in the same duration of time. On the contrary, if you halve the number of poker tables you multitable, you need to triple your winrate, meaning to improve your poker skills by a factor of 3. The above is true only if we take rakeback into consideration.

Poker is an incredibly popular game and as such there are a number of different variations around. You can play nearly all of these at online casinos making these games accessible to all. If you are wondering how to play jacks or better then you are advised to read up before you play.

Poker Tracker 2 used to support Betfair Poker. PokerTracker 3 though didn't. Betfair poker players are using Holdem Manager as the only online poker software that enables tracking of Betfair Poker. Until now, since Poker Tracker 3 latest beta release includes support for this poker room. If you have been a Poker Tracker user and waited for months until they support Betfair poker, this is great news.

Breaking poker news! I have just returned home and just heard of the EPT Berlin Robbery a couple of hours ago! That is some very disturbing news hitting the poker industry. There are already 2 popular videos on youtube showing actual footage of the EPT robbery. Germans didn't do that well in security, did they?

A maniac in online poker is a very loose player who plays very aggressively. If you wonder how to make money against such a poker player, there are poker hands in this article showing how I dealt with a maniac the other day at $5-10NL. In short, the best poker strategy is that you let him bet his air, draws or bottom pair and call him down with something decent like medium pair or top pair bad kicker. Your hand gains a lot of value against a maniac's range, so you don't actually need a monster hand to make money.

Moving down to lower limits in online poker needs determination. It is not easy to move down to $50NL when you have played at $200NL or higher stakes. But if you are running bad, your EV Luck graph shows tens of buy-ins lost and perhaps you have developed a leak in your poker strategy, it is time to take a hit to your pride and join smaller stakes. Here's why I decided yesterday to move down to medium stakes, $400NL or even $200NL tables, after playing at higher stakes, like $2,000 and $5,000NL.

If you want to record a video while playing online poker, you will need a screen recording software. You can record a part or the full screen of your monitor and even add voice narration, music and cool effects. You may also include yourself captured by your web camera and add other video sources using the picture-in-picture function. And if you want to be famous and your poker videos to be really popular, you should upload them to Youtube and other poker community sites.

Adding important poker stats in your poker HUD can increase your poker bankroll. A poker HUD, or poker Heads-Up-Display, is a poker software of online poker player stats that show up around the player's nickname while you play. Those poker statistics help you make the correct play and decision leading to bigger poker winnings. The poker hud can also assist in multitabling, thus playing a lot more poker hands simultaneously, since by just looking at the online poker stats you immediately know what type of poker player he is. Here is my recommended poker hud layout.

I kind of expected such a day. After all I had moved up to $25-50 NL tables and a 6 buy-in downswing was inevitable. I'm happy though since I didn't play bad and most of the money were lost due to bad beats. Here are a couple of interesting daily and monthly graphs and stats, along with a couple of my worst bad beats I experienced yesterday.
