Why not go slow?

Tue, 15 May 2012 09:51:26 +0000

I was having a discussion the other day with someone about the merits of only playing one table when playing online poker or two tables at the most. In fact I did actually say this some years ago and was hounded for it by many of the higher ranking poker cognoscenti. But I could see a time coming when the online environment became much tougher in which to make money. In the world of gambling of which of course poker comes very much within that realm then there are simple golden rules that you need to adhere to in order to achieve long term success or a greater chance of success.

One such rule is in regards to what type of strategy you use and how common that strategy is. In online poker then no two players will operate in exactly the same way. However many players operate in a very similar way. This is almost like basic strategy in blackjack because there are many different types of basic strategy depending on rules variations. So what I am essentially saying here is that more and more players are going down the road of playing simple ABC with rakeback and working off sign up bonuses but just how effective can that be in terms of hourly rate? I am convinced that there must be many players in online poker that are playing poker for what cannot be much more than a minimum wage.

Feeling out the Meta game is the ultimate goal of a poker player

Wed, 09 May 2012 10:31:27 +0000

I often sound like I am contradicting myself whenever I write about poker. This is often because the way that I like to play poker is different to the way that I actually do play poker. I have been playing a single table at $2-$4 recently and the results have been quite positive. This is in stark contrast to the usual 8-10 tabling that I normally do at NL100 full ring. However I do feel that more players are balancing their ranges quite well these days and are also aware of multi-level thinking at least up to level 2 that I have been discussing of late. The key area now with regards to multi-tabling and the effectiveness of it is in how effective your opponents balancing strategies are and at what levels. For example all players at levels like NL100 understand ABC and the odd fish is neither here nor there.

One last look at multiple level game strategy and thinking

Sat, 05 May 2012 14:12:41 +0000

In recent blogs we have looked at multiple level game thinking and strategy and here we will look at an example. Let us say that it is folded around to you on the button and you make it 3bb to go and you have a 100bb stack. Both blinds folds and you make 1.5bb in profit. Let us say that this was the first hand of the session and while your opponents in the blinds may be prepared to give you the benefit of the doubt in this one hand, they will clearly not be prepared to do so on every single hand. Any decent player will know that they cannot wait until they have a good hand before they attack a steal raiser.

How many tables?

Thu, 03 May 2012 10:37:54 +0000

I often debate with fellow pros about what is the optimal number of tables to have when you play online. I have drifted from playing one single table at higher limits to 12 x NL100. I think that there has to be a trade off somewhere but I don’t think that mass tabling is as effective these days as it used to be. I have been contemplating recently switching back to playing four tables maximum and focusing on the players that are either not multi-tabling at all or the ones who are playing far more than that. In order to make money playing online then you have to have a winning style. However that style needs to be one that is not being broadly replicated by the masses. So your first objective is to try and find out what your profit potential could be playing in various ways and this isn’t easy.
