Brush Up Your Semi-Bluff, and Bring Home the Bacon

The semi-bluff: know it, use it, love it. To be a situs slot deposit pulsa rock star (i.e. you turn a profit!), it is necessary to have in your arsenal of moves. David Slansky defines the semi-bluff as “a bet with a hand which, if called, does not figure to be the best hand at the moment, but has a reasonable chance of outdrawing those hands that initially called it.” The semi-bluff is one of the most profitable moves in poker. You can win the pot in three ways. First, your semi-bluff bet is not called, and you take down the pot. Second, you get customers, and you catch cards to make the best hand. Third, you’ve just represented a strong hand, and can force your customers to fold on the turn or river.

Here is an obvious example of a semi-bluff-able situation.

You hold a jack and a queen, off-suit. You are in middle position (second to act).

The flop comes Ks 10h 6c.

You now have an open-ended straight draw (if a 9 or an ace comes up, you’ll get quite excited).

The player in first position checks.

You now have two options:

1. Check

You can check here, in hopes that the last player to act checks as well. Then, you could get a free card on the turn and see if you hit your straight or at least a pair. This can be a bad idea: if you have all checked the flop, and you hit your straight on the turn, your opponents aren’t about to call any big bets, and you’re going to take home at best a marginal pot. Also, if you miss your straight (which will happen most of the time here), you aren’t going to be able to bluff anybody out of the pot very easily. You have not represented strength. This can be a good idea: you believe that one of your opponents holds a made hand (in this case, maybe K10 or AK) and you don’t think you can push him off of it.

2. Semi-bluff

You can also semi-bluff here. Why is it a semi-bluff? If you get any callers in this situation (a rainbow flop, with a high card), chances are somebody has a made hand (at least a pair) and you are not the favorite to win. However, you have a chance of outdrawing your opponent for the better hand. So, it is a semi-bluff: not the favorite, could win.

If a 9 or an ace comes, you will hit your straight, and dominate your opponent. Yes, you are behind, but instead of letting the cards determine your action, you are a telling story (I have a strong hand), and telling it convincingly (I just bet four times the big blind), and you can use that to your advantage.

Oleksii Kovalchuk Wins bandar judi pulsa Event 26

For several agonizing seconds, it looked as though Oleskii Kovalchuk���s first trip to a bandar judi pulsa final table would be a brief one. With his set of fours floundering against Anthony Ruberto’s set of jacks, he sat quietly, awaiting his fate. But somehow, down to his final out, Kovalchuck drew the final four in the deck, giving him four of a kind to beat his opponent’s newly full house. With the momentum now in his court, the 21 year-old from the Ukraine began his march toward victory.

That was the story in the 26th event of this year’s World Series of Poker, a $2,500 6-handed match of No Limit Hold’em. A total of 1,378 people dropped the necessary buy-in, bringing the total prize pool to $3,134,950. The top 126 players received a return on their investment, with a minimum payout of $5,235.

Prior to his win in Event 26, Kovalchuck had posted a pair of cashes in this year’s WSOP. The first came in Event 10 (NLHE, Six-Handed, $1,500) with a 99th place finish, followed by a 105th place berth in Event 22 (PL Omaha, $1,500). For his latest effort, the youngster netted $689,739.

All in all, the young man has collected a sizable haul in his first outing with the WSOP. But, as he told reporters, monetary value plays only a small roll in his desire to play:

“I feel very happy. I do not know what to say. I do not think about the money. The money is second to me. I wanted the gold bracelet and to win.”

Here’s the final table rundown on Event 26:

#1 – Oleksii Kovalchuk ($689,739)

#2 – Anton Ionel ($428,140)

#3 – Chris Moorman ($271,800)

#4 – Dan O’Brien ($179,162)

#5 – Mazin Khoury ($121,416)

#6 – Anthony Ruberto ($84,549)

Mark Rodoja has claimed the crown in the World Series of Poker’s twenty-fourth event of 2011, taking home $436,568 for his efforts.

The event itself featured a $5,000 buy-in, running a three-round shootout of No Limit Texas Hold’em. 387 players ponied up the necessary cash, bringing the field’s total prize pool to $1,818,900. Among those finishing in the money were noted pros Erik Seidel, Gavin Smith, and James Akenhead, each of whom pocketed $13,368.

In the end, Radoja, a 25 year-old grinder from Ontario, walked away with his first bracelet and ninth WSOP cash over the past five years. Specifically, he hails from the small town of Guelph, which has produced several prominent poker names.

“You will not find a tougher $5,000 or lower buy-in field for the World Series,” said the Canadian-born champ, “or anywhere else in the world than this one. This was the best field ever assembled for a tournament like this. You can ask anyone in it… I was fortunate, because two of the best players went out early. You have to catch cards at the right time. Looking back, I have no regrets about decisions I made. But you have to get lucky too, along the way. I played my best, got lucky at times, and here I am.”

The Proven Best bandar judi pulsa Training Books of All Time

Poker is easy to play, difficult to win at, and downright tricky to turn a profit at. For those players looking to go from amateur to profitable, it is hard to know where to start. Well, that’s just what this list is for! Below are the top six best bandar slot pulsa training books you will find on the market. Most players do not take the time to read or study other’s methods. Those who do, and especially those who read quality books like the ones listed below, are the ones who turn profits.

5. Hold’Em Poker for Advanced Players, Slansky, Malmuth

The opening line in this book’s summary is: “Texas Hold ’em is not an easy game to play well.” Well, that’s true! Originally published in 1988, this book changed the poker scene forever. It’s teachings and instructions are likely known by many players today who have never read the book, simply because of how far this book penetrated the scene. In 1999, Slansky and Malmuth revisited the book and updated it for today’s game. You don’t want to miss it.

4. Championship No Limit & Pot Limit Hold ‘Em, Cloutier, McEvoy

T.J. Cloutier, one of the early road gamblers similar to Doyle Brunson, has cashed at the WSOP 55 times. Not surprisingly, you’ll find his name in the Poker Hall of Fame; he was inducted in 2006. In this book, he joins up with Tom McEvoy (four WSOP bracelets) to write about tournaments, and how to become a champion. Cloutier, it is worth noting, has won more recorded poker tournaments than anyone else in history. His advice is verifiably excellent.

3. Caro’s Book of Poker Tells, Caro

In the world of poker books, this will likely be one of the first you come across. In this classic (classic, because though it was published in 1984, it is still just as relevant), Caro reveals a laundry list of tells which have made him wealthy for decades. These tells will make you enough money in one session to buy a cart of these books. True, these tells won’t work against the 5% of elite poker professionals, but you might be amazed by how many of these tells are applicable to seemingly unreadable opponents.

ad Daugherty Attempts Ebay Sale of 1991 WSOP Main Event Bracelet

Earlier this month Brad Daugherty, 1991 slot online indonesia Main Event Champion, put one of his most prized possessions up for sale on Ebay.com, his 1991 WSOP Main Event Bracelet.

Under the Ebay handle “Ratster”, Daughterty offered his 1991 WSOP Main Event bracelet to the highest bidder. With only 41 WSOP Main Event bracelets in existence, this looked to be a great opportunity for a collector of poker memorabilia to score a valuable piece of poker history.

One year ago Peter Eastgate, the 2009 WSOP Main Event champion, sold his Main Event bracelet on Ebay for $147,000 towards charity. This now inspired Daugherty to make a similar move, posting his Main Event Bracelet on Ebay at the beginning of this month in hopes of reaching a similar sale price.

Daugherty’s bracelet is simple gold, with his first name “Brad” etched into the center piece. All in all, when his auction ended July 5th Daugherty’s bracelet attracted a grand total of 54 bids, the highest of which being $28,100. This bid however did not meet the reserve price, the lowest price Daugherty was willing to sell at, so the bracelet was not sold. This was the second time Daugherty had attempted to sell his WSOP bracelet on Ebay and failed, the first being in December of 2010.

The scrap metal value of Daugherty’s bracelet alone is roughly $2,500, and very few of these bracelets are in existence, but apparently Daugherty’s bracelet lacked the historical importance, or collector’s value, to bring it anywhere near the $147,000 paid for Eastgate’s Main Event bracelet. Safe to say other Main Event bracelets, like those won by Helmuth, Chan, or Nguyen, would sell for considerably more should they ever for some strange reason end up on Ebay.

When news of Daugherty’s attempted bracelet sale broke the immediate question that came to everyone’s mind was, “Why sell your bracelet?” Theories swirled online about financial difficulties on Daugherty’s part, but interviewed recently Daugherty explained his reasoning as something different entirely.

Currently residing in the Philippines, Daugherty described the sale as a way to raise money for a meaningful cause, poverty, which grips much of the Philippines.

“As anyone that has been here knows, there are lots of homeless kids and people living in poverty. I am always helping kids and families that I see in need. I thought, why not just auction the bracelet off and use it where it could do some good, rather than just let it sit in the US in a safe deposit box.”
