I played $2-4 no-limit holdem yesterday. And from $300 i make $1700 and loose all at once.
My hand: 88
I give preflop raise $20
and one man call
Flop: 2d 5c 8h
so i have three of kind 8
i make check, and he make raise $40
I just call
next card that came 6
I again check
and he make raise $60
I make reraise $120
He reraise me - all in
I thought that my hand is best. Cause streight is unbelivable
what i put in his hand? Elder three of kind, or top pair
So, i call all in
Probably i gues, he had three of kind 5
But on the rivercame on more 5, and he had 4 of kind, so i loose

Online and live poker are obviously two different variants of the same game. Despite the fact that the game itself is exactly the same, the different environments it’s played in, give birth to particularities that clearly set the two variants apart.
While this difference is not all that accentuated in Limit Texas Holdem, it becomes obvious in No Limit. Those players who have only played online poker (the vast majority of those playing online, fall into this category) also easily recognize the difference in approach, Limit Holdem and No limit Holdem require.
Contrary to common belief, the average skill level of online poker players exceeds that of real live poker players. Commonly, it is thought that players who go to real card-rooms are all world-class, like players you see on TV in the WPT or WSOP. The fact, though, that they play in real brick-and-mortar establishments, doesn’t guarantee that they’re outstanding or any better than their online counterparts. The average online poker player spends a lot more time playing poker, because of the widespread nature and fuss-free accessibility of the game, ( plus he plays more hands/ hour than any live poker player) whilst many real poker players only play the game for fun.

Some poker psychology today… well a new look at an old question at least - want to run an old scenrio by you all, and then apply this to various situations…
The Situation:
You just sat down, the very first hand is dealt - you are dealt a pair of red aces in the big blind… nice.
The UTG player pushes all in… even nicer.
Before you know what is happening UTG+1 also pushes, as does the next player - in fact by the time the action gets to you every player at the table has pushed all in!!
Wow. Read the rest of this entry »
