The vast majority of poker players play online. That much is accepted given that there are huge numbers of players and only limited physical space in a finite number of casinos....
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....
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.
One of the most exciting aspects of online poker play is the knowledge that before you lies a vast palette of choice to suit the individual taste, whatever that taste may be...
A theme that crops up from time to time when I'm waffling away in these columns is the preferred habit of taking your time to spot your prey -when you are circling far above surveying the Omaha poker tables..

Playing poker is a lot like playing golf; the minute you think you have it licked, it comes back to bite you where you don't like it....
You must be nuts! That is the sort of thing you might hear from a regular Texas Hold'em player if you try to explain to him that you are tempted to - and often do - fold a nut straight...
Don't you just love this game? Play it frequently enough and there won't be anything that can take you by surprise. Consequently, to keep your sanity afloat
After my dabble on a short-handed Omaha High table last time out, where I took a decent margin in profit, I am now recording the hands of a 10-handed Omaha Hi/Lo game...
