Lesson 146: Big-Stack Play |
"There are few better situations in poker than to enter final table play as the big stack. However, there’s a big difference in coming to the final table with the chip lead and in knowing how to use your stack to take control of the final stages of a tournament..." |

"Blinds: 4000/8000/1000, My position: SB, My hand: Ac Qs, My Chip Stack: 389,000. Defending champ Lee Nelson has been moved to the table. He opens in middle position for 24,000 and I decide to just call with my Ac Qs in the SB. The BB folds. The flop comes:.." |

Lesson 143: Loosening Up Before the Flop – Part 1 |
"Knowing what to do and when to do it is what separates those who just play in tournaments from those who make final tables. This is especially true in No-Limit Hold 'em, where the first decisions you’re faced with are what hands you should play and when you should play..." |

Lesson 139: There's No "I" In Poker |
"I recently competed in a televised tournament where several players lost focus on their game. They were either trying to gun for a particular opponent at their table or making some ill-advised moves to show off for the cameras. In every case, these players were making the same mistake - letting their egos get in the way..." |

Lesson 138: Controlling the Pot |
"The big difference between big-bet (Pot-Limit or No-Limit) Omaha Hi/Lo and Limit Omaha Hi/Lo is that the former plays much more like Omaha High. Low hands become much less valuable because of how often they get quartered. If you get quartered in Limit games, you may not lose too much of your overall chip stack because the action..." |

Lesson 137: Omaha Hi/Lo Strategies |
A group of my fellow Full Tilt
Poker pros and I recently completed a tour of Germany where
we got to spend a lot of time interacting with a whole new

Lesson 136: Tilt Control |

Lesson 135: Playing Six-Handed SNGs |
"Most people are familiar
with the differences between one-table Sit and Go tournaments
(SNGs) and other forms of poker. Because these tournaments
only pay the top three finishers at a nine-handed table,
the standard... " |

Lesson 134: Bluffing in Pot-Limit Omaha |
"Bluffing can be one of

most misunderstood and over-used..." |

Lesson 133: Running Bad |
"In 1964, Supreme Court
Justice Potter Stewart tried to define what may or may
not be considered obscene under US law. In the end, he
determined that no definition existed, but that when it
comes to obscenity, "I know it when I see it."
The same holds true when you're talking about running
badly..." |

Lesson 131: Suited Connectors and Small Pocket Pairs |
"We've all seen situations
unfold on TV where a hand like 7-8 suited or pocket 5s
manages to crack some big pocket pair like Aces or Kings.
We sit back in the comfort of our living rooms and say,
"Well, if they can do it, so can I!" While it
is true that these hands can sometimes take down monster
pots, the fact is, playing these kinds of marginal hands
can often lead..." |
