1. Early Position Raise: One of the biggest mistakes I see players make is not respecting someone who raises in early position. Remember he has another 8 people after him at the table who he has to fade, so chances are that he is holding a big hand.
2. When you have the nutz and someone betting into you: I was watching a friend of mine play a tournament online and although he made several mistakes that I corrected him on, the biggest mistake he made was pushing someone out of the pot by reraising him on the turn when he should have slow-played thehand. Let me give you the scenario. My friend Mike was dealt 10-hearts and K-hearts. Someone raises preflop and there are 4 callers including Mike. On the flop came K-diamonds, 10-diamonds, K-spades. Yes, he flopped the dead nutz. The first player checks, the second player who was the original preflop raiser bets $100. Next player reraises $100, the third and fourth players fold, lastley its up to Mike. He just called the bet which was the proper play. Next card on the turn was 3-spades, no help to anyone. Original player in first position bets $200, second player calls, and what does Mike do, raises the pot $600 and the other 2 players drop out. You need to ask yourself “What am I trying to accomplish with this bet.” What was Mike trying to do, make everyone fold. Number one he has the dead nutz, he already has position so it is imperative to give the other players an opportunity to catch their card. The proper play was to continue letting the player bet into you, then take him off on the river. He might have had 2 diamonds and hit his 3rd diamond on the river and you could have taken all his chips. You want those players to get so committed to the pot that they simply cant lay down their 2 pair or their flush or their set. Remember in no limit poker you can always raise the pot or even go all in on the river so its really quite simple. If your playing NL Holdem and someone is betting into you when you have the dead nutz and are in position, let him continue betting into you and do the raise on the river as to maximize any chance you have at getting most or all of his chips.
3. Protect Your Hand: Dont give players an opportunity to draw out on you, make them pay for it. If your holding top pair and there is flush or straight potential, dont let them get any free cards to draw out on you with. Bet the pot or double the pot as to thin the heard.
4. Thin The Heard: If your holding an adverage hand, say pocket 10s and there have been no preflop bets yet,, go ahead and make a bet, I prefer to triple the pot. You certainly dont want the guy next to you who has King Duece to hit his King on the flop and beat you. Your bet should thin the heard down and will lesson your chances of getting out drawn.
5. Chip Lead: Listen people, if you have the chip lead tighten up a little. There is no sense in getting involved in too many pots. I see it all too often, someone has the chip lead and calls a raise with crap. Then he catches one of his cards and gets committed to the pot and ends up losing 20% of his chip stack to the pocket rockets. You want to hold on to the chip lead, dont play anything but good cards and let the other players on short stack weed themselves out and you will find yourself at the final table.
6. Common Sense: Common sense supercedes all the advice given to me over the years. Use your head for crying out loud. My friend Mike was on the big blind and there were no raises preflop, so he got to see the flop for free. There were 7 people in the hand and the flop comes A-hearts, K-diamonds, -10-diamonds, now Mike was holding crap, 6-7 off suit. Well nobody bets and it comes around to Mike and he triples the pot. It goes around the table and one guy calls, another raises, then another goes all in. Of course Mike folds but common sense tells me with a flop like that everyone got a piece of it, wether its a gut shot straight or 4 to a flush or just top or second pair. My experience has been that usually players discard their low cards and stay in with their big cards or pocket pairs. When a big flop like that comes up common sense tells me when there are 7 other people in the pot that a few if not all of them caught some part of that flop. What a horrible time to try to buy one. Chalk another mullet move up to MIKEY lol.
7. Play like a champion: Try to imagine yourself at the WSOP final table playing for 1.5 million. Then ask yourelf how would Doyle Brunson play the hand. Take your time and you will probably make the right call. Remember skill will only get you so far, you also have to be lucky and not get too many bad beats to snap a big tournament off so dont get discouraged if you made the right play and lost the hand. If you played the hand like Doyle would have played the hand and you get a bad beat, well thats just part of poker so you might as well get used to it now and take it like a champion.
8. SURVIVAL. Your goal of course is to snap the tournament off, but your first priority should be to get into the money. Just use your head and play smart.
9. Study Your Opponents: Study your opponents and make note of their tendencies. For example, if you have a player that calls just about anything, obviously it would not be wise to try to steal a pot against him as he will probably call you with his low pair. Conversly, if you have a player like that and you have a strong hand, bet more than you normally would as you will probably get a call out of him unlike if your playing against a good player that would probably fold his adverage hand.
10. Realize The Amount Of Players Left In The Tournament And Where They Stand In The Money: If your in a tournament that pays the top 9 places and you have 11 people left in the tournament, this may be a good time to steal a couple of pots if your in position. They are trying to get into the money and wont risk their chips unless they have a premium hand. On the other hand, once everyone is in the money, if your going to play a hand make sure it is one where you are willing to risk a large part of your chip stack on. My experience is when it gets down to the money players, you see many people on the short stack going all in so although it may be tempting to play that 9-10 suited, it may not be a hand you want to risk a large amount of chips on.

Forget the other hands – fact is: If you don’t get a Royal Flush you will lose on video poker in the long term. Period. So How do you Increase Your Chances of Hitting the Royal Flush? Many video poker players ignore the following advice when they play, but it’s the only way to beat a video poker machine. Here are five simple tips to win at video poker. 1. Play the Machines with the Best Payouts The payouts for all video poker machines are the same except for the payout on the flush, full house or royal flush. This means playing only the highest paying machines and avoiding the lower ones. Here is a typical comparison of payouts on a jacks-or-better machine. Machine Payback Machine Payback with Strategy This means that a player, on the 9 / 6 machine, will be winning more for the same hands than other players will. A 9 / 6 will generally hit the royal flush once for each 40,000 hands. The 8 / 5 odds are once for each 45,000 hands etc. You therefore need to play 9 / 6 machines. 2. You Need to Play Maximum Coins. If you bet five coins, all winning hands are paid out by a factor of five, except for the royal flush. This is a bonus amount designed as an incentive to play five coins. Any player who plays less than maximum coins will contribute to a Royal Flush that will be won by another player. Make sure your not one of these losers! 3. Play Progressives It is already obvious that you need to play maximum coins, but you also need to look at the size of the jackpots on several machines and then play the one with the biggest jackpot. The best video poker games are 9 / 6 machines with BIG jackpots, and they can never be too big! 4. You Need to Play for a Long Time A player, on the 9 / 6 machine, has odds to 1:40,000 to get a Royal Flush, or equivalent to about 100 hours of play. You need to keep feeding the machine until you win it, it’s as simple as that. You will therefore need to finance your play from your own pocket, or by collecting money from the intermediate hands that you do win. 5. You Need to Play With a Strategy. In video poker, your odds are improved if you play with a strategy – and it’s easy to learn. The strategy will vary depending on the exact game. The game you should play should be jacks-or-better and of course; it should be a machine with 9 / 6 payout.

Roulette is considered t be one of the most popular casino games in the world. It tends to draw players from all types of backgrounds. Being a relatively simple game to understand while offering a diverse range of betting options and payout outcomes is what makes Roulette such a big hit with the players. Roulette is also considered to be one of the casino’s biggest money makers because it tends to place the odds in favor of the casino. Whether one is placing bets on an American Roulette Wheel which has 38 numbers (0, 00, 1-36), or on a European Roulette Wheel which has 37 numbers (0, 1-36), the odds are usually in favor of the casino, especially if one places bets such as a straight up bet (a bet covering one single number) or a split bet (a bet covering two numbers). Of course there are other types of bets which will increase the odds in the player’s favor such as a dozen bet (a bet covering twelve numbers), or an odd or even bet (a bet covering eighteen numbers), but covering eighteen numbers out of a possible 37 or 38 still places the odds in favor of the casino.
Having tried many different betting systems, I finally found one that places the odds in favor of the player, is very simple to understand and does not carry a large degree of risk as far as losing one’s money is concerned. If the aim of the player is to cover as many outcomes as possible while increasing the chances of winning, then this may be one Roulette system that is worth a try. Being a low risk system, the payout from a win is only 3 to 1, but the odds are 63.16% in favor of the player in an American Roulette game and 64.86% in favor of the player in a European Roulette game.
The logic of the system is as follows: By placing two Dozen bets of equal amounts, the player is essentially covering 24 numbers which is over 60% of the total numbers on the wheel. The chances of losing the bet are between 35.13 % and 36.84% which is far lower than a Column bet or Colored bet. If the winning number falls in one of the two Dozen bets, then the player will receive three credits for the two credits wagered.
For example, let us assume that you have placed a bet of $10 on the numbers 13 – 24 and another $10 bet on the numbers 25 – 36. Now you have covered over 60% of all the numbers and if you win, you will be ahead by $10. As mentioned earlier, the returns may not be high (depending on how much money is wagered), but the chances of winning each bet tend to be higher than usual.

Celebrity Poker Showdown’s co-host, Phil Gordon, can really hustle. He has books coming out, business interests to watch out for, and his TV show to shoot. He’ll be making so many personal appearances during the rest of 2005 that he’ll have time to play only a few poker tournaments.
But Gordon misses playing big-time poker tournaments! I know the feeling. It’s hard to be a businessman, promoter and writer, and still maintain your poker schedule, which, is, after all, how we made our names.
Gordon and I, along with all of the other top poker players in the world, share a love for the World Series of Poker (WSOP). All the great players, in fact, keep that six-week stretch open each year, so as to focus on winning gold bracelets and making additional poker history. During that six-week stretch, you can play in a meaningful event almost every day. The rest of the year, you have to fly to Reno, Paris, Atlantic City, Connecticut, Mississippi or somewhere else far away just to play in one meaningful tournament; and no matter how good you are, you’re a long shot to win it, because the tournament will be fielding 800 players.
Gordon made two final tables at the 2005 WSOP (losing at one of them when his pocket aces were beaten by an opponent’s pocket eights, all-in before the flop), and came awfully close to winning the following tournament. With 27 players remaining in the $3,000 buy-in pot-limit Hold ‘Em tournament, and the blinds at $400-$800, Gordon picked up A-10 in the small blind, and after everyone else folded, he made it $2,400 to go.
In the big blind sat Marco Traniello, previously best known for being married to Jennifer Harmon Traniello, the celebrated poker player, but after his amazing eight-times-in-the-money performance at the 2005 WSOP, Traniello is now known as a very good poker player in his own right.
In any case, Traniello called the $1,600 raise, and the flop came down Q-10-8 rainbow (”rainbow” meaning that the three flop cards were of three different suits). It was a decent flop for Gordon, who now bet out $4,000 of his $43,000 in chips (Marco had $55,000 in chips), and Traniello called.
After a five came off, Gordon bet $10,000 into the pot, and Traniello again called. On the river, a 10 came off, making Gordon ”thirty miles of railroad” (slang for trip 10s), with a board of Q-10-8-5-10.
Gordon, having hit his best card in the deck, bet out $20,000 into the $34,000 pot.
Traniello now moved all-in, effectively raising Gordon his last $9,000. Gordon called, and Traniello showed him a queen-high straight — the Q-10-8 on the board combined with his J-9 in the hole. The last card, the 10, which had looked so promising for Gordon, especially with an ace kicker, was actually the one card that guaranteed he would go broke.
It was a tough break for Gordon, set up partially by the expert way that Traniello played his hand.
Marco had twice succeeded in trapping Gordon by smooth calling with the best possible hand. The old ”I call, I call” play with a super-strong hand, instead of the more conventional “I raise, I raise.”
If Traniello had raised Gordon on the flop, or on fourth street, he would most likely have forced Gordon to fold his hand — Gordon had only second pair — right then and there. Because Traniello opted to slow play his hand, he reaped huge benefits.
Did Gordon do anything wrong here? His pre-flop raise was very good; his bet on the flop was also fine; his bet on fourth street was a little aggressive, but not bad; and finally, there was nothing he could do on the end, short of making a great ”out of his mind” read on Traniello and losing a bit less by folding, but even had he done so, he would still have lost a ton of chips.
Reflecting on the bad luck he endured during this hand, Gordon now says, “That’s poker.”

The trick to becoming a successful player is learning how to avoid these dangerous traps while striking fear into your opponents by playing tricky hands.
Some hands are dangerous to play. The worst type of hand you can be dealt when playing Texas Hold ‘em is one that seems to be too good to fold but isn’t good enough to raise with. Sure, it’s easy to know that you should raise with pocket aces and fold a 7-2 offsuit, but hands like KJ offsuit can often cause you real problems.
While high cards are better than low cards, in most No Limit Hold ‘em situations the lows often have a better risk/reward ratio.
The potential problem with trouble hands like KJ, AJ, QJ or even KQ is that when you flop a pair with them you’ll often have kicker trouble.
Too often when you call a raise with a hand like KQ, you’ll be up against AK, or maybe AA or KK.
If you’re in there with KQ and the flop comes Q-6-2, you’ll have what appears to be a really strong hand.
The problem, though, is that if someone decides to play against you after the flop, there is a good chance you’re going to get beat.
Stay clear of traps
The bottom line is clear: If you are to play a big pot on that flop, for all of your money, chances are that you are walking into a set (trip 2s, 6s, or Q’s), an AQ, a pair of kings or a pair of aces.
Generally, these trouble hands often win small pots when no one else hits the flop and lose monster pots when they run into a better hand. Why? Because it’s really difficult to fold such a seemingly strong hand after a flop like that.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m not recommending that you never play a hand like KQ or AJ.
But always remember that when you do, you need to proceed cautiously.
Don’t get married to your top pair if a quality opponent is pushing the betting hard.
Now compare the previous examples to playing a hand like a pocket pair of 4s, a dangerous hand to own.
This hand is much easier to work with. Either you hit the flop big, by landing three of a kind, or you have a hand with little value.
Let’s look at another example. You call a raise with 4-4 from late position, from a player who you suspect has a strong hand, maybe even AA. You aren’t calling because you think your little pair is the best hand, but you are doing so because of the potential to win a big pot.
Let’s say the flop now comes Js-4c-2d. Or, in other words, Gin, baby!
If your opponent did in fact start with a hand like AA, KK, or QQ, chances are you’ll be able to win his whole stack if you bet it right. Had the flop come something like J-9-8, then you can safely fold your pair of 4s without risking another chip. It’s a minor risk in relation to the big payday a small pair might offer you.
Look for connectors
There is one last group of hands you might want to add to your repertoire playing small suited connectors like 6-7. These hands can be a little trickier than small pairs, but you’ll be able to connect with them more often. The same principle holds true with these little cards. Get to the flop cheaply if you can and get out if you don’t improve.
For example, you call a raise with 6-7 of hearts and the flop comes 6-6-2. If your opponent has a big overpair, you might be able to win all of his chips because he might not believe you would call a raise with a 6 in your hand.
The key difference between dangerous hands to play and dangerous hands to own is that it’s easy to get away from the latter, but it’s often difficult to avoid getting trapped with a risky hand like top pair.
Be the dangerous player — not the player in danger.
