BC-POKER-ADV12:TB (840 words)
Today's hand involves pocket aces, the best starting hand in hold 'em. This hand also involves medium suited connectors, the best hand with which to crack aces. And this hand involves 9-10 offsuit, a hand that opened for a raise and busted the other two opponents. The key is the player holding the worst starting hand showing how an aggressive, bluffing image can get you paid when you actually ...

BC-POKER-ADV05:TB (894 words)
The concept of pot control involves betting small or checking and calling a reasonable amount that allows you to see another card that might make your hand. This frequently is the line you'll take when you're trying to get there with a big draw, as aggressive pro David Williams showed in the $25,000-buy-in World Poker Tour Championship at Las Vegas' Bellagio in 2010.

Rising pro Olivier Busquet didn't like his play on the turn based on the math in this hand from the $25,000-buy-in World Poker Tour Championship at Las Vegas' Bellagio in 2010, but he gambled based on his read of 11-time World Series of Poker winner Phil Hellmuth.

So much of poker is about deception. Fooling an opponent. Lying outright. The amount you bet, the situation in which you bet, the type of hands you bet, even how you make the bet are part of creating doubt in the minds of others and remaining unpredictable. Same goes for talking at the table. It can be a helpful tool or it can become costly, as evidenced in this hand from the $25,000-buy-in ...

Getting value for your hand is about determining the best way to induce a mistake from your opponent. Against a calling station, you'd likely bet with the expectation that he'd call with a worse hand. Against an aggressive player, you'd consider playing passively in hopes he might bluff at the pot, as young pro Mike Sowers demonstrated in this hand from the World Poker Tour's $15,000-buy-in ...

The concept of pot odds is perhaps the toughest math in poker, but it comes down to the amount you are asked to call compared with the size of the current pot versus the chances you'll hit your card(s). It's less clear pre-flop, but colorful pro Antonio "The Magician" Esfandiari liked his odds with a suited ace in this hand from the World Poker Tour's $15,000-buy-in Doyle Brunson Five Diamond ...
