You read a lot of things online about how to gauge variance and make it work to your favor, how to deal when it’s least expected, how to bluff without gritting your teeth. For someone who’s been playing poker for quite some time, these formula strategies don’t really work, unless you can actually apply then in real life. Let me demonstrate.

Stalling: Killing time is the best strategy you can pull off during a poker game, especially if you’re not quite sure if you have a comparatively good hand. The best way for you to stall is to serve a diuretic on the table—coffee, soda, coconut juice, alcohol. Just don’t drink so much yourself.

Now, these other players are bound to get up to use the bathroom. Once they do, lock them in. Pretend it was an accident. If they do manage to get out, it would have been too late. You’d be more than a few steps ahead of winning the game.

Bad Beat: Rap to Vanilla Ice and beat box your way through the entire game. You’ll either annoy your opponents (just in case they were born before the 80s and they just think you’re weird), or they’ll get seizures because you’ve untapped a part of the 80s they so badly wanted to forget. Bad haircuts included. You’ll win by default. Your opponents have left the building.

Bluffing is the most vital skill in poker. Yesterday, I told a blonde that “It’s nine inches,” my interviewer, “I’m a professor at Harvard,” the landlady, “I’ll pay you next week,” and the mirror, “I’m an expert at poker.” Just in case you don’t get how this strategy works, yet, you haven’t actually read this article.

What are the diverse methods of playing poker? If you want to be refined poker player reading this article will help. A poker player would adopt diverse methods while playing slack and taut poker games. Poker players try duping opponents by resorting to play in a conservative and they end up surprising the opponents by playing bluffs as well. Good poker players would avoid being repetitive.

While playing poker a player would implement a different strategy so that his moves are dynamic and not predictable. Winning money is easy when you are playing a loose poker game. A poker player should have the flair of breaking free from the perceptions that the players have developed about him.  A superior poker player should be able to surprise, shock and fool the opponents most of the times while playing at the poker table.

Players should master the art of ruthlessly punishing their opponents. You should not always penalize your opponents in the same round if you have an edge over them. Endurance is important and you should not be foolish by displaying your emotions by a sly smile or any facial indication would surely give away your game. Later, in the game you may at times realize that your advantage is no more present and you are safe as you did not indulge in extra bets. You should avoid playing too many hands as only ideal players to that. Your strategy should be tailored in such a way that it should fit all the games being played on the poker table.

Your strategy should keep changing while playing poker games. Tight poker games are very gainful as the profit comes from stealing on the flop and not much from stealing blinds. If you are playing against more than one opponent then you should check on the flop and observe the move and bets of the opponents. If they play then it would be wise of you to fold or else steal the pot from the fourth street exception being if an overcard falls. The right method should e used in the right situation.

One of the more enjoyable Phil Hellmuth blowups I’ve ever seen. Seriously, just beautiful. The beauty just gets enhanced because Mike “The Mouth” Matusow is at the table too.

I love you, Phil.

Let me just start by saying I really, really hate Tony G. I really do. He’s a moron and I wish I could get a license to kill him. However, in this hand – the poker Gods reward him for being a moronic idiot.

Patrik Antonius and John Juanda basically get forced into this hand.

Every time you join a poker table, it is crucial that you are able to rad situations and act appropriately to make most out of them. Understanding how one opponent plays his cards is very important to winning the game.

Having the skill of figuring out what cards the other players are holding can help you make profitable decisions. This all depends on the information that you gather while playing.

David Sklansky defined in his poker book the level of thinking of poker players:

Level 0 – I know nothing

This is the level where people who has no knowledge of the rules of the game try to play poker. Playing drunk and not knowing what you are doing also puts one in this level of thinking.

This play is more in-depth than you think. Juanda’s 4bet pre-flop shows strength, his check on the turn is to show weakness – but his RIVER check is where he really shows weakness. KK wouldn’t check there, and the huge river bet looked… strange to John Juanda.

Sexy hand though. Sexy Russian too.

Now see, this is the way you’re supposed to talk to a hostess doing one of these sixty-seconds-to-be-cool vids: Antonio Esfandiari ladies and gentlemen!

Too bad, no spotlight for you, Dinogirl!

Aggressive poker players tend to play in a very exceptional pattern and they interpret their opponents very well. An aggressive poker player would see through the strategies of beginners on the poker table. An aggressive player would play only if he has premium cards or else he would fold a game.

Few of the discrete traits of aggressive players is that they always to learn and continually enhance their playing skills. They do not resort to playing semi bluffs or bluffs and alter their playing strategy when the game demands it.
