Multiple winning poker strategies

Posted by admin in Poker on July 13th, 2011 |  No Comments »

One of online poker’s biggest advantages over cardroom poker is the ability to play multiple tables at once. Try running between tables in a casino without winding yourself and annoying the other players.

Almost all online poker sites allow you to play at more than one table and/or tournament simultaneously, or you can open up multiple programs if you have money at more than one site. This serves to both gratify the impatient player’s need for constant action as well as the consistent winning player’s desire to increase his hourly win rate. However, before you dive into “multi-tabling” you should follow some simple guidelines to ensure that you play well despite dividing up your attention.

Firstly, and most importantly, is that you should probably employ a consistent and otherwise boring game strategy. If you like to open 3 or 4 windows at a time like I do, you won’t have much time for complicated moves and brilliant tactical plans. For starters, you won’t really be able to study the opponents at your table so you can’t make many adjustments based on their playing styles.

While playing multiple tables, you’ll mostly have to play your position and your cards. To stay focused, play in a consistent pattern and play usually play certain hands the same way. Fold your weaker and more speculative hands to save yourself difficult decisions on the flop. Players are much loose and less observant online (they’re probably playing multiple tables like you!) so you don’t have to worry about giving much of your strategy away.

My next piece of advice, and it should go without saying, is that you should pay attention to the table with the biggest monetary incentive. While that may seem obvious, sometimes I’ll open up a $1 Sit ‘n Go on the side to keep myself occupied in between hands at $2/4 No-Limit Hold’em table. The most that I can win at the SnG is a few bucks, yet I’ll sometimes find myself paying more attention to it when it gets down to the especially competitive stages. What I should be doing is paying attention to my main table, which can pocket me a few hundred dollars in a good session. If you play multiple tables, keep your attention where the money is or get out of the cheap game. If you are playing at tables of equal stakes, be sure to also divide your attention equally.

Finally, don’t overlook the technical aspects of multi-tabling. While some sites are beginning to offer options to tile tables, most still do not and that won’t help you if you’re playing on multiple sites. You want to arrange the tables on the screen so that the action buttons from different tables don’t overlap. It can be extremely frustrating (and costly) to try to click “Fold” and one table and have another table pop up at the last second, making you hit “Raise” on your 7-2 offsuit there instead. Turn up the resolution on your monitor to give more screen space to tables. If you’re serious about online poker, you might invest in a larger monitor and/or video card that can fit more onto one screen. You should also take advantage of the act-ahead “Fold” button to both speed up the game and save your attention for more pressing hands. Playing multiple tables can certainly be profitable for the winning online poker player – just be sure to do it right in order to avoid unnecessary mistakes.

College Basketball Betting

Posted by admin in Betting on March 29th, 2010 |  No Comments »

It would be a grave mistake to assume that a team with an average record is playing for nothing. Many teams play hard throughout the season, because they have a shot at the NCAA tournament even if they are low in the conference. Another fallacy that kills sports bettors is betting NCAA basketball like it’s the NBA. You have to remember that NCAA basketball is comprised of young adults, typically 18-21. Most don’t possess the ability to perform at a high level, to think under pressure and to rise to the occasion against all odds.

While colleges fill their basketball teams with the best talent they have available, that does not mean the team will have even one really good player. Some programs out there are just plain bad. Only a small sample of players at the college level will be drafted by the NBA. Most are just street balers going through their college years. College basketball players are more susceptible to emotional swings than NBA players. For this reason, you must pay attention to any recent news and events swirling around the team.

For those that don’t already know, college basketball works on the spread system. For example, let’s say you have UCLA playing at Duke and Duke is -8. You have two options. You can take Duke and lay the 8 points, which means Duke must win by more than 8 for you to win—8 is a tie and only wins on some parlay cards. Your other option is to take UCLA and the 8 points. As long as UCLA win or does not lose by more than 7, you win. If they lose by 8, you tie.

College basketball betting also features the totals line. Not every game played will have a totals line at every sports book. The totals line is the total number of points scored by both participants at an event. For example, if the totals line was 130, you could bet the over or the under. Take the over and you want both teams to combine for 130 or more points. Take the under and you want both teams to combine for 130 or fewer points. Totals lines in college basketball can be both profitable and tricky at the same time.

Players To Decide For Blackjack Game

Posted by admin in News on June 29th, 2009 |  No Comments »

Gambling games are priced as players lose more money, the earnings are bigger.
But in reality, different casinos don’t have as much tables on games as they have had. They did this to attract their clients as long as the hard economic times exist.

As an example,  Wynn Las Vegas is trying to offer around 25 dollars double deck blackjack games in weekends, down from a 50 dollars per hand. On the other side, the Sahara offers only one dollar blackjack game.

Players consider this move as being a retrait  from the high minimums in the last few years. Then was when the table minimums at many Strip properties have increased their hotel room rates, drink prices and restaurant checks.

Almost all of the blackjack wagers on the Strip casinos fell with 1 billion dollars after peaking the 2008 year. These casinos have also kept around 11 % of the blackjack wagers, a percentage point less than in the previous year.

Anthony Curtis, publisher of the Las Vegas Advisor newsletter said that high minimums have neer made a lot of sense because they make players to burn through some bankrolls and then gamblers decide to leave them earlier than they thought.

He added that the lower minimums were everywhere, even at  MGM Mirage and Harrah’s casinos.

At this time, Yvette Monet, the MGM Mirage’s spokeswoman doesn’t allow using the word “lower”. Each day they adjust their limits at the table game based on how many clients they have daily.

Atlantic City: Don’t Discuss Economy With Gamblers

Posted by admin in News on April 10th, 2009 |  No Comments »

That’s the recommendation from the head of Atlantic City’s Casino Association, who warns that talking with gamblers about how bad the economy is can be a losing proposition.

Joe Corbo, president of the Casino Association of New Jersey, said Atlantic City casinos have been hit hard, just as other businesses have nationwide.

Making small talk with customers about the current national concern may seem like a good way to bond with them.

Joe Corbo, president of the Casino Association of New Jersey said that no threats or punishment will be handed out to casino workers who do discuss the economy with customers. He said customers come to Atlantic City to escape for awhile, and no-economy-talk is one way casinos can help them do that.

Last year, Atlantic City’s 11 casinos saw their gross operating profits plunge by nearly 25 percent, and the resort is in its third straight year of declining revenues.
