The Burning Poker Question

Prof. Shyanne Mayert PhD — Mon, 23 Oct 2017 13:19:45 +0000

Poker, the name itself evokes images of smoky back rooms of pubs and piles of chips going to the most unscrupulous people. However, the face of Poker has changed over the years, and with the huge amount of casinos and online sites available today, it has become quite a respectable way to add to one’s income. How does one become a better poker player? This is the question that every poker player wants the answer to in order to improve their odds and benefit from the money that winning a hand brings. It seems experience is a key aspect, so before playing, research is a key benefactor. There are hundreds of books available on aspects of poker and how it was once played, and how it is played now. Next, once all research has been fully undertaken, find a casino where beginners can play for little money, and not on as serious a level as professional players. If going to a casino isn’t an option, because of other commitments or not feeling entirely comfortable with people who are possibly highly experienced in the poker world, then there are online options available. A site where there is a live dealer online ensures that there is no cheating and fair play is maintained. Click here for more information on the benefits of live dealers. When in a casino the following advice should be heeded:

Have patience. This involves knowing the difference between being a loose or a tight player; a loose player bets with every hand, even the bad ones, however a tight player bets only with a good hand.
Be vigilant and know cheating when it happens. Second dealing and bottom dealing are two notorious ways the dealer can cheat the players at their game, therefore if foul play is suspected, the player should ask to cut the deck twice and even ask for a fresh pack of cards, if need be.

Most important of all is to stay calm and retain the famous ‘poker face’, which means retain a straight face at all times, showing no indication of the hand that is held. Important above all is experience; the more games and poker situations that one is exposed to, the better player one will become.

Try Out These Different Poker Games

Prof. Shyanne Mayert PhD — Sun, 15 Oct 2017 08:08:32 +0000

Poker is a very popular game around the world today and there are many different versions to learn. Some may want to stick to just one game, while others like to mix it up. Something all players have in common is that they all need to learn the rules, which can be done in a number of ways.

Learning Poker

A great way to learn how to play is by watching poker videos because players get the chance to follow the action very closely from the comfort of their own home. Another good idea is to read poker books to learn the rules, which can be saved for later if you need to refresh your memory. More tips can be found in this handy guide.

Most Popular Poker Game

As previously mentioned there are quite a few different versions to choose from and the first one is, of course, the one and only, Texas Hold’em. This is an incredibly popular game that players just can’t seem to get enough of. For new players, this is the perfect game to start with as it is not too complicated and it is easy to find information about this version. The goal is to create the best 5 cards at the table.

Other Poker Games Worth Looking Into

Another option is to play Omaha. This is very similar to Texas Hold’em, but players can enjoy a specific Hi-Lo version and compete for both the best hand and the best hand among lower valued cards. Next up we have 7 Card Stud, where players are dealt a total of 7 cards and compete for the best 5 card hand. Last but not least, we have Triple Draw and this is a more advanced Poker game, yet lots of fun. Here players will compete to try to get the lowest 5 card hand.

Poker Bonuses and the Benefits of Using Them

Prof. Shyanne Mayert PhD — Tue, 03 Oct 2017 08:31:52 +0000

If you’re looking to play online poker, it surely won’t be long before you come across an online poker bonus. This is because poker companies are all vying for your attention and your custom. In a competitive market, it’s their way of trying to lure you in. But as tempting as poker (and other casino games) bonuses may look, the inevitable question is, “Are they really worth it?”

Rollover

First things first, please, be wary of rollover requirements. Many poker bonuses may look absolutely fantastic, but they may have an often-overlooked hitch: rollover requirements. This is how much money you have to play through before you can withdraw any winnings. Sometimes the rollover requirements can be 20 or 40 times the bonus, so it is definitely worth checking how much money you have to roll over, and also the time limit for doing so (be VERY careful here, because if you pass the rollover deadline without doing so, all your money will be lost!) To check the rollover requirements, read the terms and conditions of the site very carefully. Read more here.

Generous Benefits

This is not to say that online poker (and other casino games) bonuses cannot be profitable. The bonuses can certainly be very generous, and as long as you are careful with, and fully understand the rollover requirements, then they can be definitely worth taking advantage of. What’s more, you can have a lot of fun at the same time! In addition to poker, there are also many other games out there in the online casino world that you can play with your bonuses and a vast quantity of sites that offer them. It’s worth shopping around to see what sites offer the most lucrative bonuses, with ideally the lowest rollover requirements.

Setting up a Gaming Budget

Prof. Shyanne Mayert PhD — Sat, 16 Sep 2017 12:40:27 +0000

As with anything in life, gaming requires a budget. Much as everyone makes a daily household budget, regular players should make a monthly gaming budget. This will aid in control over the games and also in maintaining discipline throughout gameplay. Having a strict budget will also help the player to enjoy the games they play regardless of a win or a loss as either way they can afford it and therefore not plummet into debt. A well planned out game budget will allow players to play without getting into debt and a full management strategy can be found online. The first step to avoiding this is allocating an amount that can be played on gaming. This amount must be enough for the player to be satisfied to play with. However, this amount also needs to be an affordable loss in the case of no wins that month. Losing this money must be something that the player’s everyday finances can handle. It is also important that players play within their means. Of course, there is always a higher stakes game that will require a higher amount of money inputted. But is it worth it? The answer is usually, “No.” Stick within the budget at all times, no matter what. In the long run, this will pay off and the winnings will start to flow in. it is also important to never mix the money set aside for gaming with other pursuits. This is for gaming and gaming only. Players should not be tempted to dip into it for any reason and vice versa. This should not be necessary as the money in the gaming budget should only be that which is superfluous to everyday needs anyway. At the end of the day, keeping a game budget will help a player always stay in the clear and can even help to make the gaming experience much more enjoyable as there is no fear of negative repercussions if there is a loss.

Crushing Poker and Counting Stacks

Prof. Shyanne Mayert PhD — Fri, 15 Sep 2017 11:32:51 +0000

‘Practice makes perfect’ is a universal truth, and it also applies to poker. There’s no way you can be good, or improve, by playing poker passively, that is, by just watching and reading about the game. Guess where successful players spend most of their time? Yes, at the tables, playing, playing, and playing again. Besides improving your game by playing as much as you can, there are also other benefits: you’ll get to see repetitive situations occurring over, and over again. Like in the movie ‘Groundhog Day’, you’ll see what is working, and what is not, and by reading your game, thereby, eventually dropping your bad habits. The easiest way to improve your game is to analyse every hand after each game. This will teach you what works, and what you should do more of, and what doesn’t, and so you should stop. Another way of tracking your play is by using tracking software. As soon as you get competent you should check one out. The best features of poker tracking systems are their ability to replicate specific scenarios you will encounter. This allows you to get exact data on large samples. You can’t argue with Big Data. You either win or lose. Knowing why you are losing will allow you to make the right adjustment to your game and improve your win rate. Studying video tutorials is one of the best ways to learn about poker. Check out coaches that play and their sites, and study their videos. Get a poker coach, join training sites, link into forums, study poker books, read blogs, gain access to the best minds in poker, just get inspired! There’s no substitution for experience. You will need hundreds of thousands of cash game hands and tournaments to prove you’re a winning player. When to start? No time like the present.

The Evolution of Online Poker

Prof. Shyanne Mayert PhD — Sun, 27 Aug 2017 12:41:57 +0000

The first online poker game, which was free, took place in 1994. The first game with real money was in 1998. New players are attracted in a variety of ways, the most common one being a site hosting a satellite tournament, which allows its winners to play in live competitions. It is particularly interesting to look at the development of the “rakeback”. A rake is a popular way for card rooms to profit. Put simply, it is the commission taken for each hand that is played. Therefore, a rakeback is the percentage of that commission the player takes back. The rakeback dates back to the early 2000’s. An enormous amount of new players were coming in, opening doors for the “poker affiliate”. When a player signed up through an affiliate, the affiliate would take a payment. However, affiliates started making massive amounts of money and players wanted a share, thus the birth of the rakeback. This is why players had an incentive to play on a particular site. But this grew rapidly – good players with deals infested websites, intimidating novices to join. Slowly rakeback deals disappeared. Nowadays, they are advertised as different programmes and schemes by the poker rooms themselves. But it is not always cash that the player gets back ‒ it could be merchandise. Be mindful if you collect a rakeback from an affiliate. They need to be legitimate and safe. If the rakeback is offered without the poker room’s consent, the player’s account could be suspended. Just as the seasons, online poker’s evolution seems to be in a cycle as well. The rakeback came into existence during poker’s boom, then faded because of the effect it had, but now, albeit in a slightly different form, it is coming back.

Online Poker Rooms

Prof. Shyanne Mayert PhD — Sun, 23 Jul 2017 22:32:11 +0000

There is a huge choice of poker rooms online but how to know which one is the right one? There are a number of things to look out for when trying to choose the place to play. Here are a few things to keep in mind when searching for places to play poker. There are literally hundreds of poker rooms online and all of them are vying for attention from new players. When players are searching for somewhere to play they are literally bombarded with colourful graphics and exciting bonus options to bring them in. However, players need to look further as different poker rooms offer different options. For example, some rooms offer much higher quality when it comes to the graphics and the games, or have a more sociable playing atmosphere. The better-known and bigger sites are able to offer a much larger range of games that can appeal to a wider range of players. From video pokers to live poker games they will have all of these in multiple variants, multi-hands, single hands and a range of betting levels and stakes. There are much smaller rooms out there too. Whilst their game options might not be so diverse, nor the graphics so high quality, quite often these rooms are perfect for newcomers. These rooms often have many beginners or low-level players in operation, which means that the skill level is a manageable level for those who have just joined the poker scene. There are also rooms that will host global tournaments. These offer excellent software and games. These types of sites are always busy so there will always be someone to play against though there aren’t always tables free due to popularity. At the end of the day, a good poker room is the opinion of each player. Everyone has different tastes and with so many different types out there, there should be something for everyone.

Up the ante with your own online poker room

Prof. Shyanne Mayert PhD — Tue, 20 Sep 2016 06:10:55 +0000

There are almost too many online poker options to choose from these days. Some are smooth and enjoyable while others frustrate and annoy. But no matter how good the poker room, haven’t you often thought that you could probably do it better? If that’s the case, then maybe it’s time for you to start your own online poker company. This might seem like a daunting task in the face of the big gaming corporations, but with our guide you might just give them some competition!The first and most important thing you’ll need is a gaming license. This can be an expensive and time-consuming affair, so it’s wise to call in the professionals. Malta is a great base for your online poker room, with its forward-thinking gambling laws. Check out the local experts at GTG Advocates. Their long history of dealing with licensing matters will expedite the process. The great thing about online gaming is that it can be accessed from anywhere, no matter where your business is based and licensed.Next you’ll need software to run your poker room. If you happen to know great developers then you can commission customized software, but again, this takes time and money. Alternatively, you could license the software from a gaming software company, which will come fully ready to roll with pre-loaded banking systems, etc.The most important aspect to think about is the marketing of your new, cool poker room. Attract punters to your table by making your establishment unique; tell them what you do differently, what you do better. Investing in SEO and smart marketing campaigns is money well spent. Offer great promotions and bonuses to new players. Once you get them to your tables, you must keep them there. It’s a good deal for everyone!
