Online poker tournament statistics: player exit percentage

Sunday, March 1st, 2009 | Poker Articles, Poker Mathematics, Poker Tools | 7 Comments

This article is a part of the Poker Mathematics series. Recently I have wondered if it is possible to calculate the probability of winning a poker tournament based on which strategy you use and how your all in moves are distributed. During the process of collecting data to solve this problem I have run into some interesting observations which I would like to share with you (warning: math content ahead).

Poker tournament bonus search

Saturday, February 28th, 2009 | Poker Articles, Poker Bonus, Poker Tools | No Comments

This article belongs to the Poker Tools series. Repeating the same thing doesn't make it less true, therefore with no further ado, my words of wisdom: "when playing online poker you should always have either a bonus or rakeback deal associated with your deposit or your account. This will maximize your earnings, increase you bankroll and provide a faster route to higher limits." For all you tournament players like myself, finding the right bonus for your limit of poker tournament play Read more [...]

The art of poker deception

Sunday, February 15th, 2009 | Poker Articles, Poker Strategy | 2 Comments

Submitted by Rakewell, this article belongs to the Poker Strategy series. I recently read this post on Rakewell’s PokerGrump blog where he continues along the track of learning poker from things that don't necessarily have anything to do with poker. A friend had free tickets for any Regal Cinema feature, so we hit the one at Fiesta Henderson to see "Slumdog Millionaire" today, curious as to why such an apparently unlikely movie racked up 10 Oscar nominations. Well, the reason becomes obvious Read more [...]

Trash talking – is it really worth it?

Thursday, February 12th, 2009 | Poker Articles, Poker Rules | 5 Comments

This article belongs to the Poker Rules series. Last night I finally had the opportunity to sit down and play a $10+1 6-person SNG on Mansion. It had been the first time since Sunday I got to play, I know not that long between sessions but still long enough for me. Before a hand could even be played, a player named SHERWHYNOT was already being very belligerent to the other players, that by the sounds of it, he/she just played against in another SNG game. I just ignored him, as I mostly do Read more [...]

Sunday, February 8th, 2009 | Poker Articles, Poker Strategy, Poker Tournament | 7 Comments

This article belongs to the Poker Tournament series. I recently stumbled upon the step SNG concept through an article I read on a Danish news website.
