Poker Tip of The Day
Use a four color deck: This tip applies not only to Party Poker but many other poker rooms out there too. There’s a reason poker sites offer four color decks, because they are quite popular and for good reason. If you play poker long enough, you’re going to make mistakes. Everyone who has played long enough has probably misread their cards at some point or another (usually after a long stretch), especially flushes. Using a four colored deck makes it much easier to identify flushes (and more importantly flush draw threats) and enables you to use your brain powers elsewhere.

November 24th, 2004

November, What November?

So the month of November is quickly coming to an end. But honestly – when did it start? I can’t even believe its almost the holidays.
Well, I’m not quite done with the Poker Room Review section upgrade yet. However, I updated the Free Money No Deposit Required Section a bit.

Additionally, I also upgraded the 3rd Party Programs Section. I should be adding an interactive feature where you can rate the programs shortly.

Long Weekend of Poker

First, our good friend and hot young Asian Poker star has updated her picture section. The new pics include girl-girl action and her with some of poker’s hottest faces. Check it out here, unfortunately there is no nudity only really racy pictures.
Don’t you just hate having someone suck-out all the way to the river, and catch that flush? Earlier last night on 5/10, I had someone draw all the way to the river. Check the hand out here. HE paid $30 to draw his stupid flush!!! Grrrr, it made me so mad. So he went on to win that $200, but the guy (as you would expect) only lasted about another hour. So after building back up my bankroll, I ended up finally getting my $100 PartyPoker Reload Bonus and cashed out with a cool $650 earlier today.

Check back tomorrow to see our newly redone “poker room review section” we are in the process of re-reviewing the best poker rooms. Tomorrow we will post our unbiased report of which poker rooms are everything they claim to be.

Today’s Poker News:

1. Putting on her poker face – San Jose Mercury News – Nov 21 3:39 AM – BELL GARDENS – When Marla Schram Schwartz sat down at a Southern California poker club two decades ago, men rose from the table and swore never to play with a woman.
2. Watch World Poker Tour – News Today – Nov 20 3:29 AM – On Discovery Travel & Living channel, catch World Poker Tour, San Francisco at 9 p.m tomorrow which reinvents the image of poker forever.

Poker Tip of The Day:
Click between game tabs to refresh your table listings
This trick is useful mainly for SnG (sit and go / single table) tournaments, which are notoriously quick to fill up. Many times, you’ll see “Wtng for 5 players” as the table status, but when you click on the game, it will have already started. This is due to the table status not updating quickly, which you can force by clicking between tabs. Of note however, is that Party Poker has recently upped the refresh rate of the tables substantially, so this isn’t a major issue like it used to be.

Poker Tip of The Day:
Use The Rule of Four -Two.
The rule of four-two, as I like to call it, is an easier way to figure the odds for any situation where you know your outs. It is not completely accurate but it will give you a quick “ballpark” figure of your chances for making a hand. Here is how it works.

With two cards to come after the flop you multiply your number of outs by four. With one card to come after the turn, you multiply your number of outs by two. This will give you a quick figure to work with. If you have a four-card flush after the flop you have nine outs. With two cards to come, you multiply the nine by four and you get 36 percent chance of making the flush. The chart shows the true odds at 35 percent. With one card to come you multiply nine by two and get 18 percent. The chart shows that the true figure is 19.6. It is not completely accurate but it is pretty close, and it is an easy calculation to do in your head.

WPT Satellites, ARE YOU IN??

Moreso, do you even care? If anything, this editor believe that the only thing that WPT Satellites do for a online pokerroom is add “street cred.” that the site is that much more legit.

However, if your really looking to make it to the WPT this year you might want to check out Bodog. Now, before you dismiss this as a mere subtle advertising please hear me out. In fact if your really worried about it go directly to Bodog.com and see for yourself.

Good your still here… So as I was saying, your best shot at getting to the WPT this year is Bodog. Here is why..
* Bodog is new, but reliable. Therefore your competition is less but, your payout is guaranteed.
* They are an official WPT Satellite host (not wanna-be’s like other sites)
* It only cost you $6 to register for possibly the easiest satellite you’ve ever been in.

That is the top 3 reasons why you should use Bodog for your trip to the WPT. Now, if you haven’t already go to Bodog and register today. Or at least do yourself a favor and play in there $500 daily FreeRolls. While your playing in a FreeRoll, sit in a tournament and see how soft the competition really is. I’m not kidding on this one.

In other news, this weekend Tips4Poker will be redoing our Poker Room Review section and re-reviewing all of your favorite poker rooms. Keep in mind, this will be an unbiased report. Hence, advertising will NOT affect this report. We are going to give you the straight truth on who’s got the hottest rooms online today.

November 1st, 2004

November is a HUGE POKER MONTH!

This weekend I had the pleasure of playing with poker professional Gus Hansen at his new Poker Room known as Poker Champs. Gus is a great guy and had time to answer every question that the excited table had to ask him. This is an excellent room and I hope to have a full review up of it within the week. Only one complaint about it, that real-money is seemingly empty and there isn’t much tournament action going on. Anyhow, best of luck to Gus Hansen and his new site. Check out Poker-Champs!

It has an interesting rake-back program that is worth looking into. However, it seems to me that most rakeback programs don’t actually work out and curse the cardroom.
