Online poker games like Texas Hold’em and Omaha poker are nowadays very popular. Thousands play poker online every day at online poker sites with real money. You may still play free online poker at those poker rooms either in freeroll poker tournaments or with play money, until you build confidence and begin to play poker at real cash poker games. Several players have built their poker bankroll using their first deposit poker bonus and even more reload poker bonus. Discussing about poker hands can help players to learn how to play poker, although they can speed things up by subscribing to training poker sites like DeucesCracked, which I recommend.
My favorite poker game is Texas Hold Em. I started playing poker at Sit ‘n’ Go tournaments in 2006 with the occasional multi table tournament in the mix. A year later I began studying the game and moved to 6-max poker games, playing with real cash at $25 and $50 No limit Hold ‘Em. I became a Poker Stars Supernova the same year and maintained that VIP status for 4 years until the Black Friday events. During that time I improved my poker game skills and following strict money management poker rules, I ended up playing online poker up to $1,000 and $2,000 NL 6-max poker tables. I even recorded a poker session of mine compiled into a 8-part video playlist.
I have also tried my luck at live poker tournaments. I always take part at live poker events after winning a seat at an online poker qualifier via poker sites. Up to now I have played live poker at EPT7 Grand Final in Madrid, GSOP Live in Greece and Greek Poker Cup in Loutraki.

My favorite poker software is Poker Tracker, having used both Poker Tracker 2 and Poker Tracker 3 versions. I’m also trying out Holdem Manager 2 and have been a beta tester of that software.
A cold call with AK preflop is the best poker strategy (sometimes)
Did I just suggest calling preflop with Ace King? No, I merely reminded you that you can also cold call preflop with big slick as an alternative to raising. Folding is obviously out of the question, but what about calling for a change, instead of raising the pot automatically every time you look down at AK? Besides confusing your opponents at the online poker tables, you can also lead them to make more mistakes. Like folding Top Pair/Top Kicker! Of course raising with this premium poker hand is almost always the correct play. After all, it’s...
read moreThe (short) history of my (sick) poker setup
That’s my 4-monitor poker setup I shared at Twitter. My computer setup allows me to blog, invest and trade stocks effectively. It also allows me to play poker more efficiently. Much more efficiently than most online poker players. And it didn’t cost me a fortune, buying and selling tens of monitors or computers in the process! For example, André Coimbra posted the history of his sick setup for Pokerstars and I truly lost count of the poker setup’s changes in 4 years’ time! Come on people, have some plan before investing in technology...
read moreUsing online poker software to review your hands
Online poker software can help us sort out those poker hands that cost us the most and hopefully plug some leaks! By reviewing last night’s poker session, players may find out that their poker bankroll could have increased if they hadn’t made expensive mistakes. That is how I discovered that I could have avoided losing 7 buy-ins over the past 3 days, since I restarted playing texas holdem poker at Full Tilt Poker. I simply reviewed the first 10 hands that cost me a full buy-in and I already knew that I could have at least broken even. Ok,...
