Online Poker Tells
Originally posted October 22nd, 2006
An indication given off by a player that provides other players a sigh as to the strength of his/her hand is called a poker tell. There are a greater number of tells to reveal the strength of an opponent’s hand in circumstances where players are face to face over a poker table. Players read things into like the way a player stacks his chips, facial expressions, changes in seating position and even the way they hold their hands.

A game worth learning, Seven Card Stud can be more difficult than other types of poker to learn. With many more cards of their own, good players can immediately determine how likely they are to make a better hand and win the game.

7 Card Stud Hi-Lo Starting Hands
Originally posted March 1st, 2006
One variety of poker is Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo. In this version, there is the possibility of a division of the pot between two of the players. The player guaranteed a share of the pot is the one with the highest hand. However, there is the opportunity for a second player with a qualifying low hand to take half the winnings. A qualifying low hand requires that five cards have classifications of eight or lower. If no player has such a hand, the player with the high hand takes the pot.
7 Card Stud Starting Hands
Originally posted March 1st, 2006
In Seven Card Stud, more winning hands are determined by the player holding the highest pair or two than by straights, flushes and other big hands. That’s not to say that they never come up, but they are less likely to hit in 7 Card Stud than Omaha and Texas Hold’em games.
Omaha Starting Hands
Originally posted March 1st, 2006
In Omaha, because a player has four hole cards, assessing potential starting hands can be a little trickier than in games like Texas Hold’em (since there are a lot more potential hands a player could make with them once the board cards are dealt).

The most significant decision-making will be made pre-flop when you are playing Omaha Hi/Lo. To determine if you should fold or play the hand, you have to analyze the 4 hole cards you are dealing.
Quick Texas Holdem Strategy Basics

A common misconception about the game of Hold ‘Em is that is all luck. If this were true the same players wouldn’t win on a consistent basis.
There are four main categories of interest regarding strategy in this game. They are selecting good hands to play, using your seat position to your advantage, chasing the right draws, and bluffing at opportune times only.
Texas Hold’em Starting Hands
Originally posted January 14th, 2006
While I realize this isn’t quite Stud related, we’ll be adding more information on all kinds of games soon, so I thought to start with this one on Texas Holdem.
During a session at the Hold’em tables, one of the most important factors that separates winners from losers is the caliber of starting hands they are dealt and how they are played. While its true that any hand could turn into a good hand after the board cards are turned, there are certain hands which are much more likely to take the pot than others.
