If Richard III were alive now, and playing poker on a regular basis, I think there is a good chance he would still be crying out this demand, especially if he wants to be the true King of Poker....
Much of what's written about poker is just plain common sense. Writers fill their pages with standard bromides like "self control is one of the most important parts of a winning game...
I played some $20/40 stud at Foxwoods the other night. It was a great game. A couple of loose players and a bunch of solid guys like me. We all ganged up on the fish.
I haven't been playing too much Omaha this week due to other commitments, just the odd table here and there with mixed results. But for this week I thought I would take a walk through a heads-up poker tournament.
