I play Texas Hold'em on my Blackberry. I have amassed a fortune on that. I have almost 30 million dollars from playing. It is unreal.
I've been at the table with some really great poker players. I'm sure Vince McMahon is a hell of a poker player.
Whatever game suits you best, learn to play both Limit and No Limit Texas Hold'em. Your overall game will definitely improve.
One of my favorite poker shows on television is 'Poker After Dark.'
One pair rarely wins an Omaha pot, even if that pair is aces. In Hold'em, on the other hand, a pair of aces is right around the average winning hand.
I've been playing Texas Hold 'em and other forms of poker since I was about 12.
I started playing poker in 2003 during my pregnancy, to distract myself from my awful morning sickness. For months all I did was cry and play Texas Hold'em.
On first blush, Hold 'em seems like a ridiculously simple game.
Common wisdom in Texas Hold'em suggests that you should raise before the flop if you're planning to play a hand. The saying goes, 'Raise or fold,' but is that correct? Well, it's not the worst advice, but limiting yourself to one of these two options would be a mistake.
Experienced no-limit Texas Hold'em players understand the importance of reading flop texture.
No matter how much you may want to think of Holdém as a card game played by people, in many respects it is even more valid to think of it as a game about people that happens to be played with cards.
Texas hold 'em is all about folding and waiting for that time that comes up every hour or two where you actually have an advantage and you can press it.
My favorite poker game is No Limit Texas Hold 'Em.
I'm comfortable with the hold 'em, Omaha and stud high-low. But the other two games aren't my strongest games. I'm not comfortable at all with razz or stud.
High flops like K-Q-9, K-J-10 or Q-J-8 are dangerous to pocket aces. That's because these flops will more likely to connect with the range of hands that your opponents will typically play, like 10-J, K-Q, 10-10, or 9-10.
May the flop be with you.
Look, No Limit Texas Hold 'em is a game of reads, deduction and logic, and Allen Cunningham excels in each.
So to me, Texas Hold 'em puts me to sleep. At least when you play stud, you can be funny as you deal. Somebody some day is going to come up with a Stud show that's going to work.
