Have you ever taken a polygraph test? The examiner examines your breathing and heart beats rate to understand if you are telling the truth or if you are lying. When you lie you begin to breathe harder. Your heart beat rate increases. You almost begin to panic inside while you try to look composed outside.

Lol I don’t like Mike Matusow that much, but he’s waaay right in this WSOP video — where we see the ever so hateable Sean Sheikhan completely out of line, trying to get Mike a penalty, ending up getting one himself too. Ha! Foiled!

Online poker and live poker have many differences. Not only do the atmospheres feel completely difference, but your whole strategy towards the game of poker has to change.

Live poker is much easier to tell bluffs, especially in unexperienced players. With online poker, detection of a bluff is nearly impossible due to the inability to read body language. Live poker also affords someone the ability to gloat over their victory on the hand. Online poker has no ability of congratulation, except for online chat.

Live poker is often enjoyed much more enjoyed by a larger base of people due to the amount of human to human interaction. Also, when playing live poker you can enjoy the wonderful atmosphere of the casino, and all the perks that come with it. With online poker, very few perks are offered, even to players who play poker frequently.

Also, with live poker people are much more likely to place a large bet when they believe they can win. With many online poker games, people only feel that they should place bets that are constant and consistent. Online poker often has better odds, especially with poker rooms that are directed to new poker players. Many live games of poker can have players with higher skill levels playing at lower skill level tables, thus creating increased competition and worse odds.

Your strategy may be working if you see yourself with the best players of the poker tournament on the final table. The kind of poker can be tougher since the skill set of your opponents will be higher. Most likely you haven’t seen much of them during the tournament so you ought to slow down and observe first how they play their cards.

Players on the final table will be going for the higher pay out rather than build on their stack. Expect players being more careful and each hand tighter than ever before.

During the first few rounds, learn if your opponents are aggressors, tight and willing to wait. Here are some strategies that you can use if you are the chip leader, when you have a short stack, or an average stack.

Chip Leader

It will be less nerve wrecking to find yourself with the tallest stack of chips when you get to the final table. You have to remember though that you still need to play precise excellent poker to win. As the chip leader, you can press on against the medium stacks who will most likely play safe and wait for other opponents to bet it all out and be eliminated. Raise when you think you have a good chance and grab some more chips.

The smaller stacks can be considered vulnerable but dangerous. See if you can play them hard and challenge them with your good hands. They can either push or stay away from trouble and it is up to you how you will handle when they try to steal the blinds. Don’t repop it unnecessarily with Five Deuce hoping to flop a wheel, but do play your King Queen Suited more aggressively, hoping your opponent will lay down his/her Ace Nine.

Every tournament I track, I stumble upon her name — and I think about how perfect she is. I’m not kidding, I’m sure we could be close. :p

Hehehehe.

Seriously though, she hot, she pushes draws when she should and she doesn’t limp in with Jacks on the cutoff. That’s my kind of woman. No shit. Vanessa Rousso, you’re awesome!

Nowadays many people cannot imagine their life without playing online poker or poker in a land based casino. In a few years time poker got very popular, especially by students and young people. Playing poker is also really more easy and accessible than in the past because of the rise of casino online. Everybody that has a age of 18 or older can easily visit one of the best online casinos that you can find on the Internet.

A big advantage of playing poker online is that there is the possibility to play with play money. In this way you can practice the game with money that is not yours. Of course you can not withdraw your winnings but at least you can get familiar with the game and try to test different strategies.
The games with play money are very helpful for beginners but also for advanced players.

Several online poker rooms organize at least once a month big tournaments where you can win huge prizes. It is possible to play freerolls or you can take part with a buy-in tournament. Freerolls are tournaments where you don’t have to pay a buy-in, you can subscribe yourself for free, but of course the winnings are really lower when playing a buy-in tournament.

If you surf on the Internet you can see that you can book also different workshops about poker. This is a really good option for a business trip or a bachelor party. Poker is now really hot and probably the popularity of the fantastic game will stay for a pretty long time.

Online poker rooms and online casinos are really convenient for people with a busy life that like to have a little excitement so now and then.

After losing with AA vs AK (guy made a flush with his ace of diamonds), picking up KK in the next hand (also all-in pre-flop) and getting beat by a donkey calling me down with 77 making QUADS — I went on quite the tilt-session…

I went on a painful rollercoaster losing about $12,000 in a matter of seven hours…

Painful, especially as that was most of my winning of last year.

I’m such an idiot… I might have a gambling addiction too — time to reflect…

That river card in Monte Carlo has to be one of the most painful rivers I’ve ever seen… It sucks ‘cus I love Marcel Luske — too bad though, Mercier hits the miracle!

A friend of mine won a bet recently in which he had 30 days to clear a $450 deficit on SharkScope through SnG’s on Pokerstars. He cleared it in nine days, and then went on a one-night steamer session putting him 25% back to his minus…

It’s sad, but I’m sure he’s doing it to get a new bet going…

Keep track of his results on Teh Jinx Poker. Here’s his sharkscope graph after the steam…

I hate it when this happens. Just happened, I’m crying. Mind you, the best thing about online poker is that you can post a screen-capture to get some sympathy for your bad beat. This is a not so insignificant that a casino online has over a land-based site.

Being able to vent your anguish at the time counts for a lot too. Many a player has nearly busted a vein while trying to keep the rage in.
