Gladiator Returns To Party Poker

Friday, March 5th, 2010

The first time the Gladiator reared his head at PartyPoker was November 2009. And his appearance was such a popular success that PartyPoker has invited him back for another big money challenge.

The latest Party Poker Gladiator challenge takes place from March 3 to April 1, during which time players must earn at least 10 PartyPoints per day for at least 5 days of the promotion in order to win some amount of prize money.

There are 9 levels in all, with successively higher targets of PartyPoints per day that must be reached, as high up as 2,000 PartyPoints per day. Also increasing in concord with the amount of prize money at stake is the number of days in which a player earns from 10 – 2,000 PartyPoints.

And unlike in Gladiator promotions past, you do not need to earn these points on consecutive days in order to qualify for a reward.

The lowest level prizes are freeroll entries with prize pools of $10,000, $`15,000, and $25,000, respectively, all of which take place on April 3 at 2:30 pm ET. From there, cash prizes range from $15 up as high as $7,500.

The top prize in The Gladiator promotion goes to the players who can accumulate 2,000 PartyPoints per day for each day of the entire 30-day period. That top prize is a World Series Poker main event prize package valued at $12,500. Of course, it is taken for granted that you understand if you win one of these prize packages, you must wear PartyPoker gear while you play at the event.

Before you start playing at the Party Poker real money tables and accumulating PartyPoints towards your targets, you must first go to the PartyPoker lobby and opt-in to The Gladiator promotion.

A good majority of players were watching Chris Moneymaker back in 2003 take down the World Series of Poker and thought, hey if this guy can do it why can’t I. This is when Poker on TV was everywhere. It was on ESPN, Travel Channel, NBC, BRAVO and many other cable channels.

Small Pot Poker

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

When faced with difficult plays in poker, it can make you or break you. The bigger the pot the higher the difficulty your decisions will be unless you flopped the nuts of course. Some of these decisions can make you want to hit the bottle soon after if you judge incorrectly. Why not play safe early on?

When holding an average hand in tournament poker play, you want to make sure the size of the pot is kept in check until you make your hand. You are better off calling versus betting or raising on nice pairs, when there is a draw heavy board. Let the play come to you in case you are out kicked or crushed, when you may not even know it. A difficult decision for all your chips can be a disaster. You are better off not even playing the hand then getting into a sticky situation.

An example of this hand would be early in a tournament and your in the High Jack position and you decide to raise and the button calls. You don’t have position which is the first thing you need to think about. You are holding K-Q off-suit. Flop comes Q-10-3 with two spades. Right away there are some draws on the board and we have top pair with a decent size kicker. You are first to act and you decide to check. The button puts in a solid bet. You decide to call. Your opponent most likely thinks you are on a bigger hand at this point. You decide to check again after a 5 of diamonds comes on the turn. You are still holding top pair. By checking again you avoid being raised for most or all of your stack. You call the the pretty sizable bet the button makes. Your opponent is drawing big or may have two pair or a small set. The river comes 8 of hearts meaning all draws are broken.

You decide to check again just to make sure and keep everything in line. You have a nice hand at this point, but early on you don’t need to force it. The Button checks and mucks. In this case you take down the small pot with a top pair. Anything could have happened. It is sometimes better to sit back and play safe then getting over aggressive and being crippled or knocked out early in a poker tournament.

Avoiding sticky situations is not always easy to do, but when you do, the bottle stays on the shelf.

Poker Tables

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

Sometimes you need to get out there and see where your game is at these days. Too many people think they’re the best, when in fact they really suck. I’ve seen it over and over again where people bring a crappy personality to the table thinking they are better then everyone only to find themselves reloading every couple of hours.

Take a chance the next time you play. Make a move you don’t usually play and see if it would have worked. Of course sometimes you will run into a wall, but let yourself loosen up a bit. This may bring monster pots when you have crushing hands. I’m not saying make a monster re-raise with rags, I’m talking about playing a strong draw with a little more force than you usually do. Give yourself a bigger range. You never know, you may find the missing link in your game.

You also want to pay attention to those players that are real tight and keep attacking them until they fight back. When they do fight back and you have a monster you will get all of their chips. The poker tables are meant to be played out. They aren’t there for social biscuit hour. You are there to make some money.

When it comes to picking a room with a lot of action Pokerstars.net is one room that has so many players, you will always find the game and stakes you want to play. Just remember open your game up a little to see if it helps you out. Do this on several occasions too rule out any possible bad beat scenarios.
