Poker Advice to Live By
Posted by: admin // Category: Gambling News, Online Casino Tips, Online Gambling, Poker TipsYakshi over at The Epileptic Chihuahua gives us some great advice and we also learn where the name of his blog comes from!
Some pros will tell you that the biggest obstacle to poker success is tilt. Of course we’ve all experienced tilt, especially when our K8 of diamonds—the Epileptic Chihuahua—gets sucked out on by some ridiculous face-face holding like KJ or QQ.
Or we get smacked hard by the flop and then getting absolutely no action. Take this 2NL example:
Three callers to Yakshi on the button, who holds the Chihuahua. We opt for an advanced move called the invisi-raise—a call with the intent of raising on a later street. SB calls, BB checks, and we head six-handed to a flop of Ks 8s 7s.
Bang. We have the thirteenth nuts. Even better, hands like QQ and KJ have failed for once to catch up.
Then the nightmare. Everyone checks, we bet 12 cents, and everyone folds.
And he even had 18th nuts!
