Learn Poker – What is a Sit-and-Go Tournament?

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

It seems like every where you look these days, someone is playing poker. If they aren’t playing poker, they are talking about the playing poker. The whole world has fallen love with Poker. Even my little sister plays poker – pretty scary! There’s a lot of poker lingo out there and can all be quite confusing. There are all different kinds of tournaments you can play in. You may or may not have heard of some of them. A common tournament is a sit-and-go tournament.

So let’s learn what a sit-and-go tournament is and how it works. The following is a typical example. Always check the terms of the tournament you play as some may differ.

A single-table tournament consists of ten players each of who have paid the appropriate entry fee. Under normal circumstances, the entry fees make up the prize money fund which is then split between the 1st, 2nd and 3rd placed players on a 50/30/20 percent basis.

Each player begins the tournament with the same amount of chips. The starting blinds are preset as is the rate at which the blinds will rise. A tournament is designed to eliminate people by constantly rising the blinds. This is an important part of strategy which we’ll look at later.

However – it is crucial that you are aware of the blind structure, when the blinds will rise and by how much. It’s either after a certain number of hands or a given length of time. Say every ten minutes or every fifteen hands.

6 Reasons Not To Bluff During A Poker Game

Sunday, January 18th, 2009

To be a successful bluffer, you must use it sparingly. It is too big a part in peoples game, so it is expected. Take a step back and wait for the right time. You will make as much if not more money catching others out. Bluffing is only a good idea if your chances of executing a successful one is good, so be selective in its use. I have identified 6 situations when bluffing may be a bad idea.

When it is expected of you.

If you think other players are expecting it, don’t do it. This situation will arise if you have been caught out a few times and you’re seen as a poor bluffer. Just tighten up your play and wait to catch them off guard.

Against a hazardous flop.

If an Ace lands on the flop, there is a good chance someone else has one. Many players refuse to fold an ace before the flop. be very careful when bluffing against an Ace. You also wouldn’t want to bluff against a flop like 6-8-9 suited, even with an A-K because there are too many possible combinations .

Against several of players.

There is a good chance someone will have something juicy and refuse to fold. You are bringing the attention of the table to yourself, while they sneak up for the big kill unnoticed

Against bad players.

Some bad players will just call everything. They seem to assume that everyone is bluffing. You can only really use it against these players if you have just stung them a few times.

After a really bad run.

Often on a bad run, you find yourself running on tilt, and chasing lost money. Other players will expect it from you, and are more likely to call.

You checked the big blind position.

You need to assess the flop to check if the circumstances are right. When high cards come out, most players assume you are on a weak hand. They may expect a bluff, so be prepared to drop your hand.

Play Your Favorite Live Dealer Casino Games for Free

Saturday, January 17th, 2009

Live dealer casino games are the latest in the world of online casino gaming. Following the advent of the traditional simulated online casino games, the live dealer version is so much better than your ordinary online casino games. The number of games provided in the live dealer version is still very limited. A lot of online casinos have provided the live dealer versions of baccarat, roulette, and blackjack. Those who don’t add the webcam feature is about to get trampled by the online casinos who did, especially in the highly competitive high-stakes world of online casino gaming. However, some online casinos go one step further to bring in the players and entice them away from the competitors. Some online casinos offer other game variations of roulette, blackjack, and baccarat to lure in more players. Some online casinos seem to be unstoppable, however, because there are those that offer other games in live dealer version such as Texas hold ‘em poker, and sic bo. Of course, the live dealer versions of those two games are still limited, unlike the three more popular and most played casino games previously mentioned.

However, there is one glitch in this exciting opportunity to play your favorite online games with the entire casino experience through the webcam feature. All of the online casinos only offer the live dealer versions of the games when you choose to play for real money. This generally limits the player base only to those players who are seriously playing in hopes of earning some winnings. Unfortunately, not all who play online games are keen on spending money, especially those who are just whiling away their free time, even with the prospect of winning. Many players who play online do so because the games are available, waiting to be played. Thus, only those players who are serious about the whole casino business even when they play online can access the live dealer version of the classic casino games.

Fortunately, the line where we said that all of the online casinos only offer the live dealer feature in the real money mode is not yet finished. It will be more accurate to say that all of them offer the live dealer feature for real money players, “except one”. Yes, much to the delight of all avid online casino players out there, there is one live online casino that offers the chance to play the live dealer versions of the games for free.

Standing out from all the others, Dublin Bet offers you the rare chance to play the live dealer versions of your favorite games such as baccarat or Punto Banco, blackjack, roulette, and even Texas hold ‘em. Their blackjack game is the early payout kind, and their roulette games even come in two varieties. You can enjoy all these games without having to deposit real money at all. But you have the option to switch to real money mode when you feel that you are doing great in the game. The game window already provides you a button to press when you decide that you want to make the stakes real. Another advantage of having DublinBet.com around is that you can also practice your favorite games as if you were already playing for real. No other casino, land or online alike, provides you with that opportunity.

Kelly’s Eye No. 1

Saturday, January 17th, 2009

Yes it’s bingo! The game millions of people are hooked on. Never mind that we lose more than we win, it is the thrill and excitement when we do win that counts. I am not talking about bingo online I am talking about bingo halls, clubs, and even the odd church room.

In the UK if you are lucky you can win £100,000 almost every night, Sunday night the prize is £200.000 and most afternoons up to £40.000 it is called the national bingo game and it is played every afternoon and evening in most bingo halls throughout the country.

It is not only the old ladies that frequent them as some people believe, young lads and girls moms and dads and yes of course the grannies and granddads as long as they are over the age of eighteen.

Lunch and dinner is served with a variety of choice, coffee or cold drinks and of course alcohol in almost every bingo hall in the country. It is big business and we know who are the real winners.

Even the celebs love bingo Corrie star Kym Marsh plays bingo with her mom and sisters every other weekend when she goes home to visit. her local is in Wigan and Brian Dowling the winner of Big Brother 2 was seen playing in the Gala club at Surrey Keys.

Bingo is also popular in the USA where an estimated 1.6 billion people play although it is usually organised by churches or charity groups and played for small stakes.

Casinos in the State of Nevada and Native American bingo halls play commercial bingo; they are played for higher stakes and people travel long distances to play the game.

American bingo cards are different to the UK ones as in the UK we have from 1 to 90, in the US their cards are 1 to 75 and are headed B.I.N.G.O. with the numbers being B-15 I -23 G -30 etc,. We do play one of these cards during the evening in this country every so often.

But do beware you do get hooked, it is like a drug that draws you in and if your not careful you could lose all your hard earned money just for the chance of winning now and and again. In the long run you are the loser but those odd wins now and again and the thrill of winning them keeps you going back for more.

NFL Point Spread Early Analysis

Friday, January 16th, 2009

NFL week 4 lines are out and this is the week of the home underdogs. The reason we make note of this is that one of our time-tested winning formulas concerns betting on home underdogs in the correct circumstance. Home underdogs have covered at almost a 60 percent clip over the last 10 years and there are a great deal of games this week that fit this scenario. We see a number of these games where the home underdog will cover. We have given you our first impressions of these game below and later in the week we will finalize our picks for our subscribers.

Ravens (-4.5) VS. BROWNS: Cleveland is a homedog which they also were in week 2 when they covered and won against the Bengals. The Ravens failed to cover after being up big Sunday against Arizona but their defense is the type that gives young QB’s like Anderson trouble.

Bears (-3) VS. LIONS: Why the Bears are favored here is the questions as this team has some major flaws that they must deal with, particularly the ineffectiveness of QB Rex Grossman. The Lions were destroyed last week against Philly and that’s the type of loss that can shake a team’s confidence. Home underdog scenario is at work here.

COWBOYS (-11) VS. Rams: There is no team other than the Saints that have been the NFL’s bigggest dissapointment as the Rams have shown no life this season and now will lose RB Steven Jackson for this one with injury. 11 is a lot of points and it is possible the Cowboys could let down here after such a big win last Sunday on the road against the Bears.

Packers (-2) VS. VIKINGS: Fishy game here as the Vikings should be about a 7 point underdog against the 3-0 Packers. This game reminds us of the Browns-Bengals game in week 2. The Packers however are so hot that they should be able to handle them here. Another home underdog here.

Texans (-3) VS. FALCONS: Yet another home underdog scenario here as the Falcons played well last week under the same setup but failed to cover against Carolina. The Texans pushed as a home dog last week against the Colts in a wild line as some covered with Indy as they started at -5.5(we won with that number picking the Colts), while some pushed with the -6, and some even won with Houston as the line hit -6.5 Sunday morning.

COLTS (-9.5) VS. Broncos: Good one here as the Colts take on the Broncos. Denver was shocked by Jacksonville at home last week and things could turn sour quick with another loss. Expect a better performance by them in this game. The Colts on the other hand have destroyed Denver over the years, which include two playoff wins.

DOLPHINS (-3.5) VS. Raiders: Two bad teams meet in Miami with the dreaded 3.5 spread.

Jets (-3.5) VS. BILLS: The Bills will go with backup QB Trent Edwards as JP Losman will miss a few weeks with injury. The Jets did well at home in beating Miami last week and things could be turning around after a tough beginning to their season.

Eagles (-3) VS. GIANTS: Giants are home underdogs in primetime against an Eagles team that put up a ridiculous offensive showing last week.

Steelers (-5.5) VS. CARDINALS: The Steelers are 3-0 ATS so far this year and they go to the dessert to take on a Cardinals team that most likely will go with backup QB Kurt Warner which could give them a boost.

CHARGERS (-12) VS. Chiefs: The Chargers are playing poorly as they are now 1-2 after a tough loss on the road against Green Bay. The Chiefs got on the board last week against the Vikings but this team can’t score at all. Both RB’s in this one (LT and L. Johnson) have struggled.

Seahawks (-1.5) VS. 49ERS: 49ers are the home underdog here as they take on a Seahawks team that comes off an impressive in over the Bengals. 49ers RB Frank Gore ran wild on Seattle in both games last year.

Patriots (-7) VS. BENGALS: Yet another home underdog and this one is on MNF as the Bengals take on the Patriots.
