Poker Lessons at the Table
I'm sure you've all seen it, the fair to average player who
can't help himself, and just has to jump in and tell a bad
player what he is doing wrong. A few common quotes:
"You went in with that trash hand? Thats horrible! What does it
take for you to start? 72o?"
Or:
"Do you even have a clue what you're doing"?
worse still, in 7 stud:
"Are you blind? Look at his porch!!"
Now, you tell me, who is the bigger fool? The fish playing the
only way he knows how, or the table coach who is trying his ...

Amateur vs. Professional Poker Players
I'm sick of these Amateurs! I hope *insert pro player's name
here* wipes the floor with him!
That seems to be a common refrain in poker forums recently, in
light of all the success the amateurs are enjoying. We ran a
poll on my web site asking members to predict 'Who will win WSOP
2004?" I think 'a professional' beat 'an amateur' by at least a
2:1 margin, and about 90% gave Chris Moneymaker hardly a
snowball's chance at even making the final few tables.
So why the angst? Is it because of the ...

How to Prepare for a Long Poker Tournament
As your poker career advances, you'll find yourself playing increasingly long hours at the poker table. Staying focused and remaining comfortable becomes just as challenging as the game itself.

If you don't feel good, you won't play good. That's all there is to it. Personally, I prefer lots of exercise as a way to prepare ...

SKILL VERSUS LUCK IN POKER
The money to be gained or lost in a home game tends to mean next
to nothing and everyone almost always plays every hand to the
end. Add in to that, dealer's choice & the ever popular "wild
cards" and you have a recipe for gambling on your hand, not
playing it. In these situations, it's often the middle hand that
wins by catching a lucky card on the river. Another reason why
luck has such a big role in home-style poker games is that many
of the skills we use in pro-style games just don't come ...

The History of poker
The origin of the game that we today call Poker is uncertain and
debated. Most researchers agree that the name Poker is derived
from the French word poque, which in turn originates from the
German word pochen - to knock. It is however unsure whether
Poker is actually related to the card games where players must
knock the table to mark certain situations. Poker bears a keener
resemblance to an old Persian game called As Nas. Some
researchers therefore suggest that As Nas was taught to ...
