  • Let the Kids Play?


    I’m consistently amazed at how good people can get at poker. It’s such a complicated game, with layer upon layer of thinking and deception. Mike Sexton’s catchphrase “a minute to learn, a lifetime to master” is true for people of any age. So when mastery...

  • Rebuy Tournament Analysis: Part 2


    (continued from Part 1 ) Game Flow and Momentum OK, so I got into a blind vs. blind confrontation with KQ at the blinds 100-200 and won 3,000 chips, which was a good momentum booster for me because I was feeling down and out for investing $11,000 and...

  • Is Aggression Really the Answer?


    Is aggression over-rated in live tournament play? I am just asking. I hardly ever even play live myself. Sometimes I think I am just not a people person. I have, however, watched hundreds and hundreds of highly edited live hands on television. I have...

  • Rebuy Tournament Analysis: Part 1


    Hi everyone, my name is Craig MrCasino Gray. All year, I have been ranked very high on PokerStars and the PLB; due in large part to my success in the daily $100 re-buy tournament. This year I spent over a month at the World Series of Poker, and it was...

  • Summer Sabbatical


    I had been an excessively regular poker player since I first picked up the online game in early 2003 and for several years before then in home games. In the last two years, I qualified for FTP’s Iron Man program in 21 consecutive months – not reaching...

  • Rationing


    Even after countless articles and a lot of time spent playing, a lot of people don’t understand the basic concept of rationing. Perhaps this is due to the nature of the typical poker player. With the rare exception, most avid poker players are not starving...

  • What's Wrong with My Game?


    In almost thirty years of casino poker play I never had a losing year. Oh, I had long dry spells sometimes. Dry weeks, or even months would go by, to be sure. But I always came up ahead of the game at year’s end bookkeeping. In almost thirty years of...

  • Online Poker: Make the Most of Your Work Area


    Being an online poker player, professional, part-time or amateur, means having our concentration and focus solely on the action at the table, either past, present or future. We can’t have distractions taking away from our full potential. Comfort with...

  • Game Selection and Your Lifestyle (Part 2)


    (continued from Part 1 ) You see this all the time in tournament poker players. There will be a kid who at 19 or 18, a lot of the time even younger, decides to stop playing his home game so much and just throw fifty dollars onto a poker site. He's...

  • My First Vegas Poker Game


    I recently got back from spending a month in Vegas playing in a few WSOP events and a few other, less prestigious events as well. I cashed in 25% of the games I played, but still flew home an overall loser. After all the big money, high pressure tournaments...
