Sep 24th
Here are a few more new advanced Texas Holdem tips essential to any post flop strategy. You don’t want to miss these as they will help you win more money.
These advanced Texas Holdem tips for incorporating into your post flop strategy will enhance your game, allowing you to win more money with less effort.
Advanced Texas Holdem Post Flop Strategy Tip #1
If no one bet you can use a continuation bet to try to steal the pot. If you are at all familiar with stealing blinds this will make a lot of sense to you. When you are post flop, in a later position, and no one will bet in front of you, you can make a large bet to steal the pot. This strategy is even better when the flop is a ‘dud’ or overall not very good (to tight players). This works in a few ways
- You are displaying advanced aggression so it looks like you have a good hand
- You make the pot not worth anyone calling for their odds they are getting; just solid Texas Holdem
- You are utilising later table position to your advantage, so even if they play on you will always bet after them and can continue to exploit this
- People know all these points but still know it’s not worth calling because they aren’t getting the odds and they are at a disadvantage. They give up willing to finish the fight another hand.
Advanced Texas Holdem Post Flop Strategy Tip #2
A player with unpaired hole cards has about a 1 in 3, so 35% chance, of making the pair on the flop. So think of it this way, 2 times out of 3 a player with A-K won’t hit! So most of the time a player with A-K, K-Q, Q-J or any connector won’t make a pair. Now do you see why pockets are so much better? Factor this into your post flop strategy when you have pockets and also when you don’t.
Advanced Texas Holdem Post Flop Strategy Tip #3
Don’t play past the flop if you haven’t hit! This should really go without saying but it’s back to post flop strategy basics. Straight draws, flush draws, three of a kind, full houses – whatever you are chasing. If you aren’t 80-90% of the way there by the flop you aren’t going to get it. Factor in you chances of making the runner flush or gut shot straight, but don’t rely on it!

Advanced Poker Strategy – Using Your Table Position Correctly
Apr 29th
There are 3 areas of position in poker: the early position, middle position and late position. It is in relation to the button that goes around the table. Most beginner players do not take their position into account much, which is not right. This article will briefly explain the concept of table position, and how you can use your position to your advantage.
Advanced Poker Strategy Part 1: Early Position
The players to the immediate left of the big blind are players in the early position. Being in the early position means that the player is one of the first to act when the action starts. Being in the early position is considered to be a disadvantage. By being one of the first players to act, good opponents will usually have effective strategies to disrupt your play when they see what the early players do first.
Advanced Poker Strategy Part 2: Middle Position
Players to the left of players in the early position are in the middle position. Being in the middle position allows a player to watch the early position players first, but he still needs to consider the late position actions.
Advanced Poker Strategy Part 3: Late Position
Players in the late position are the last players to act in the round. Being in the late position allows a player to be in a situation where the hand has been checked around you, and have the opportunity to make a bluff at the pot and win it right there. Thus being in a late position is considered to be an advantage.
Being in the late position also gives a player an opportunity to be in a steal situation. If players ahead are checking while you are in a late position, it is a good sign that your opponents are not holding anything valuable, thus making bluffing safer. A player in the early or middle position would not know their opponents’ hand strength behind them, and randomly betting would be a very dangerous thing to do. It also allows a player to do a semi-bluff. This involves raising a player who bet out in the early or middle position, when he is drawing to a better hand. By doing this, your opponent would possibly get intimidated and fold if he only had an average hand, and makes him put the brakes on his own action and check to you on the turn if he calls your raise.
Being in different positions affects your current hand value significantly. Generally, being in an early position requires a player to play stronger hands, whereas being in a late position gives a player the option of playing drawing hands.

Blackjack Strategies For the Advanced Player
Apr 21st
Blackjack can be one of the most fun card games to play, either at a live casino or online, whether you are playing free blackjack games or playing for real money, but the game is more fun when you win. For this reason, many players are looking to maximize their chances of winning with advanced blackjack strategy.
Advanced Blackjack Strategy: Basic Strategy
You can’t have an advanced blackjack strategy if you don’t have the basic strategy down pat. Ideally, you will have the basic strategy memorized, but if you don’t, you can play online with the strategy chart in a separate window, or bring a strategy card with you. Subtle rules variations may change the correct basic strategy in certain instances, so be sure the strategy chart you are familiar with matches the game you are playing.
Advanced Blackjack Strategy: Card Counting
Card counting won’t work in online blackjack because the random number generator that determines the cards prevents you from getting any penetration into the shoe. However when you play live blackjack, counting is a real possibility. A basic point count system awards a point for every two through six that comes out, and takes one away for every ten point card or ace that comes out. When the number is high, it means that the deck is rich in tens, which favors the player. That’s when it’s time to up your bet.
Advanced Blackjack Strategy: Team Play
The problem is that may take a long time for the count to reach an amount that is profitable for you, and if your bets suddenly skyrocket when it does, this will often arouse the suspicion of the casino personnel. For this reason many advanced blackjack counters choose to play in teams. Several team members play small and keep the count at various tables. Another team member keeps watch on all the tables in play. When one of the players signals a table with a high count, the watcher signals a big player, who sits down and starts placing large bets for as long as the count is favorable. Since he never changes the size of his bets, he is difficult to catch. This is probably the most effective way to win money at blackjack.
