Keys to winning at Poker
- Ask yourself a question "Are you playing poker to win the most pots or win
the most money?". If your objective is to win the most pots, just play every
hand. You'll win almost every pot you could possibly win, but you'll
eventually go broke. If you want to win the most money, be selective with the
hands you play and play them very aggressively (when it's warranted).
- Don't blame anything other than how you play. Dealers are not responsible
for the cards you're dealt or the way you play. Asking for a deck change won't
help. Find a successful poker player and try to find out how he or she do it.
See if you can learn the secrets of his or her discipline. If you feel
yourself losing self-control, you'll need to develop some methods of regaining
control. For example, if you get a bad beat, get up from the table and go for
a stroll outside for a while. Going on tilt can destroy your winnings in a few
minutes.
- You need to know how your opponents play at least as well as you
understand all the concepts in all the really good poker books you read. For
example, semi-bluffing doesn't work with calling stations. You have to
show a calling station the best hand to take the money.

Omaha Holdem Myths
This companion to the Introduction to Omaha Poker Strategy is needed because
something about Omaha HiLo seems to lead to the true nature of the game being
concealed beneath a shroud of fantasies. New myths pop up every day. This is
surprising since Omaha is mostly a straightforward game. In fact, this is
first Omaha myth to expose:
Myth: "Omaha is a complicated game."
Obviously all poker games have levels of complexity, but the contrasts between
Omaha and its closest cousin, Texas Holdem, reveal Omaha to be much simpler.
Holdem decisions are full of uncertainty, randomness, and the complexity born
of one simple fact -- in many hands, all players involved have basically
nothing. Suppose AcTs raises before the flop from one in front of the button,
QhJh calls on the button, and 7d6d calls in the big blind. Suppose a flop
comes down of 9d8h8c. The winner of this pot will often be determined by who
plays the craftiest from the flop on. Situations like this occur all the time
in Holdem.
In contrast, in most Omaha games you seldom play hands head-up on the flop,
and anytime there are three or more players in a pot either: one player will
have a clearly better hand than the others, or more than one player will have
a solid hand, or any bet from any player will be able to win the pot on a
bluff (because no one has anything at all). Each Omaha hand has many more ways
to connect with a flop. Twelve cards in three hands don’t just have double the
ways to hit a three card flop, if only because Omaha8 offers players the
chance to “win” by either making a high hand or a low hand.
No Limit Hold'em Tournaments
"Next time you're in the end zone
act like you've been there before,
and that you're going to be there again."
-- Vince Lombardi
At the 2004 World Series of Poker Championship event, three times the number
of players entered compared to 2003. The 2576 players made it the largest
brick and mortar poker tournament ever held, despite the $10,000 entry cost.
Close to 1000 of these players won seats into the event via preliminary
tournaments at one of the online poker card rooms. One cardroom,
Pokerstars.com, sent 316 players alone, including the eventual champion, Greg
"Fossilman" Raymer.
An historic tournament just for the turnout alone, I believe this event will
be looked back in years to come as a historically defining moment, similar to
how the first World Series in 1970 is thought about now. No Limit Hold'em
tournaments changed forever. Sensible players need to consider how the times
have changed, and change with them.
