How to make money against a maniac in online poker
Poker - Poker Strategy
Monday, 01 March 2010 08:54

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.

When I move down to medium stakes in online poker
Poker - Poker Strategy
Friday, 26 February 2010 10:23

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.

Online Poker stats for your Poker HUD
Poker - Online Poker Software
Thursday, 28 January 2010 12:09

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.

Poker - Poker Performance
Friday, 22 January 2010 11:01

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.

Poker - Poker Hands
Monday, 18 January 2010 19:26

Playing at the high stakes tables at online poker rooms can be expensive but rewarding as well, since you stand to win or lose big pots. A few days ago I experienced my worst bad beat losing a huge pot. This time though I did win an enormous pot comparing to what I used to play for. The hand took place at $5,000 No Limit 6-max tables at Pokerstars.com and it was a 3-way pot. Although I didn't actually have a hand, I managed to show a straight at showdown. Here's how!

Pokerstars High Stakes Cash Games Video Series: Part 4

Thursday, 14 January 2010 22:13

Poker Stars High Stakes video

The 4th episode of my Pokerstars High Stakes Video series is live. Today's video shows a lot of 3betting and 4betting situations and a couple of big bluffs. Although the poker bluffs I try are successful, that is not always the case obviously. In order to bluff efficiently, you need to study the game and pick your spots, and bluffing will help increase your winrate. A poker player is not complete without the bluffing skill. Other than that, the last hand of the previous episode shows that the villain raised my bet with air and this time the poker video ends with a much more interesting scenario. Stay tuned for the next episode!

The new episode includes 4betting with Aces and deep stacks, double barreling with air and rivering a straight, loose stealing from the button and quite action towards the end of the video. If you can guess what the villain held at the last hand, put it in a comment and the actual hand will be revealed at the next episode of the High stakes video series.

Pokerstars High Stkaes Video

Episode 2 of the Pokerstars High Stakes Video Series is published today at my Youtube channel. I am commenting on the video while recording myself with a web camera, for a nice Picture-in-Picture effect. There is a lot more action in this part of the poker videos, with 3-bet bluffing, value betting a straight and controlling the pot in position. Once again the language is Greek and there are English subtitles for all my friends around the globe. If you like the video series of these cash games, don't forget to rate the videos and maybe leave a comment, either here on in Youtube. Thanks for watching!
