Poker Tips
Love the idea of this whole tourney and I hope to see more of this type of sponsorship of charities in the future. In honor of breast cancer awareness month, PokerNews is proud to partner with Bad Beat on Cancer and the Prevent Cancer Foundation for the Bad Beat on Cancer Challenge. This charity tournament is being held in Nicole Rowe’s honor. All proceeds from this charity tournament on PokerStars.com will be donated to the Prevent Cancer Foundation, a nonprofit group whose mission is to help with cancer prevention and early detection through research, education and community outreach. The tournament will take place on November 12, 2009, at 9:00 p.m. (EST), 6:00 p.m. (PST).
So whether you play poker at home, professionally or at the local rake game, it is always a good idea to donate some of your winnings to your favorite charity.
Yakshi 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!
Thanks for visiting our new blog. If you are a gambler that enjoys live casino games or online casino games then you have found the right place to keep up with news, commentary and tips on many different types of gambling including, slots, bingo, poker, blackjack, keno and more. I have been a responsible gambler since I was seven years old and my dad taught me the game of poker. These days I play a lot of micro tournaments on Pokerstars and like to gamble in live cash games and even in the land based casinos once in a while.
