I've written about it before, but it's worth reiterating: if you want to succeed in games like H.O.R.S.E., you need to be able to adjust to the fixed-limit form of hold'em. There is a big enough difference from its no-limit...
It's hard to believe that it's already February. It seems like it wasn't that long ago that the entire poker world descended on poker's Mecca -- the 2008 World Series of Poker. Long days and longer nights passed in the Amazon...
Over the last few years, tournament directors have experimented with ways to branch out from simply running all no-limit hold'em tournaments all the time. Mixed-game tournaments are one of the few areas where there...
As I mentioned last week, I'm currently in Melbourne, Australia for the 2009 Aussie Millions Poker Championship. In between late nights of poker coverage, even later nights of heavy drinking, and a few off days spent enjoying...
As I write this, I'm in Melbourne, Australia for the start of the 2009 Aussie Millions Poker Championships. Over the course of three weeks more than a dozen new poker champions will be crowned. The side action at the Crown...
In a split-pot game, there are generally three reasons to raise: (1) you believe you are the only person playing for one half of the pot and have multiple people playing for the other half, leading to a situation where you can...
Last week I described a few of my experiences playing in an eight-game mix tournament on PokerStars. To refresh your recollection, eight games are played in rotation in an eight-game mix tournament...
There were several new events added to the 2008 World Series of Poker. Some of them, like Event #4 "Mixed Hold'em", don't really qualify as mixed games in my book. While it's true that two different variations...
Seven-card stud hi/lo, like razz, is a game that tends to bewilder mixed-games players. At first glance, it seems simple enough -- it's a hybrid of seven-card stud and razz, with the wrinkle that a low hand must be made with five...
Razz is one of the most poorly understood of all of the games that typically find their way into a mixed-game rotation. As opposed to other lowball games like deuce-to-seven triple draw and badugi, razz (like most stud variants)...
Four weeks ago I wrote about some of the difference between playing no-limit hold'em and limit hold'em, a game which is the cornerstone of many a mixed-game rotation and one of the primary games in most mixed-games tournaments...
Most beginning mixed-games players tend to play conservatively in the stud games, play somewhat decently in limit hold'em (due to its overlap with the game of choice for the past four years, no-limit hold'em), but become...
Survey the poker landscape in the hole-card-camera era, and you'll be convinced that only two types of poker are played anymore: flop poker games such as hold'em and Omaha, and stud poker games such as razz and seven-card stud...
A few weeks ago I discussed the importance of looking for the proper conditions to defend the bring-in bet in razz and how absent incredibly ideal conditions, the bring-in is usually better off folding most of the time...
The lament of the no-limit hold'em player forced to play limit hold'em is often that "opponents can't be forced to fold." There is some merit to this sentiment; with betting limits structured into fixed amounts, the best weapon...
Those pesky stud games. In addition to requiring more from players in terms of attention, memory and reading ability, they also have one more round of betting than flop games. Hold'em and Omaha have four rounds of betting...
Take typical hold'em players and sit them down in a limit Omaha hi/lo game for the first time, and their initial reaction will most likely be to marvel that they are dealt four cards, instead of two. With so many starting cards...
Stud games are often referred to as "old man" games, since it seems that the average age of any random player at a stud cash game table is about 60. The younger generation of poker players all prefer to play action games such...
Previous to this clip, I've been in some hands with "villain" and developed some quick, specific reads. He likes to call us very light, he knows we're recording, and he knows I can play like a monkey. I took advantage of that by...
Last week we took a quick look at one of the earliest decisions a player has to make in a game that everyone loves to hate -- razz. This week we're continuing the lowball theme by looking at two other lowball games that have...
