Le joueur saisit les jeux en ligne de tisonnier du Texas Holdem - la partie 2
Signalé : Reposé, 6 sep. 2008 18:34 : 25 +0000
Cet article est la deuxième partie de Types de joueur du Texas Holdem série.
les joueurs Serré-agressifs sont souvent les adversaires les plus profitables que vous rencontrerez. Par la combinaison bonne mettant en marche des mains avec le jeu agressif et positif elles s'assurent que l'argent entre dans le pot quand elles ont ? mieux de lui'. Prenez garde des grands pots de bâtiment en entrant dans soulever des guerres avec ce type opposé, bien que prenant un petit projectile à un pot de la position après que l'effondrement oblige souvent le joueur serré-agressif à libérer le fond de leur gamme des mains.
des joueurs Lâche-passifs sont caractérisés en jouant trop de mains et appelant trop souvent, c'est une combinaison absolument terrible qui mènera ces joueurs à être sans le sou très rapide en effet. La clef aux joueurs battants qui appellent trop est de jouer des valeurs pleines et d'évaluer le pari avec elles excédent plusieurs ronds de pari. Ensuring the bet sizes are reasonable will keep your loose-passive opponent in the pot with some horrible holdings. Conversely you should avoid bluffing against this type of player - their calling reflex will make this unprofitable.
Tight-passive players will play few starting hands and play them timidly. The defining characteristic of this type of player is that they fold too often after the flop - their hand is never quite good enough to call your large bet. This makes tight-passive opponents great targets for large semi-bluffs as well as value bets.
Another ?axis’ on which opponent types in online Texas Holdem poker games can be judged is tricky vs straightforward. The more tricky a player is the less likely that their bets, calls and raises mean what they suggest - the extreme of this is that a player is completely ?backwards’ (bets when weak and checks when strong). Making sure you work out which players are tricky and which not can further help you profit from observing information on your opponent types.
Online players who really want an edge at the tables there are several independent Texas Holdem Poker Software Tools which will watch opponents for you and even suggest profitable plays against them. Be sure to check out what is on the market to improve your profits from the online poker tables.

Player Types In Online Texas Holdem Poker Games
Posted: Fri, 29 Aug 2008 18:33:28 +0000
Online poker attracts many types of players, and paying attention to the tendencies and patterns of your opponents can make your play very profitable. This article looks at the types of players you will meet in online poker based on the two main ?axis’ by which play can be measured. These are loose vs tight and passive vs aggressive. We will note how you can profitably adjust your play to each type of opponent as we go.
The easiest player types to notice are those who play too many starting hands in Texas Holdem Poker Games. These players are labeled as ?loose’ and are characterized by playing dubious starting hands without regard to position or any betting action ahead. Though it is possible to be profitable playing a ?loose and aggressive’ poker style, the vast majority of loose players are losers in the game - consistently playing weak starting hands is very difficult to make up for with post-flop play.
Tight players wait for the best starting hands and situations. While this strategy can be profitable in many games, observant opponents will avoid playing large pots with tight players - as they usually have a very strong hand when entering a pot. Tight players are often aware of the ?gap concept’ - the fact that you need a stronger hand to call a raise than to raise to open a pot yourself. If you see a raise from early position and a tight player re-raises you can be fairly sure that they have a monster hand.
The second axis used to define poker player types is based on how aggressively they play when they have entered a pot. This information is used together with the tight / loose axis to give an opponent one of the 4 possible combinations. Aggressive players tend to raise and re-raise once involved in a pot and are characterized by daring bluffs and large value bets. Conversely passive players limp a lot and call a lot of raises, waiting for the nuts (or very close to it) before raising.
Loose-aggressive players can be very volatile opponents. While you should be aware that some very good players employ this style, the majority will lose money playing this way by playing big pots with marginal holdings. The best strategy to combat this player type is to sit to their left and allow them to build a pot when you have a good hand, check-raising on later streets once they are committed to the pot.

Continuation Bets: Five Tips to Use Online
Posted: Fri, 22 Aug 2008 13:20:11 +0000
In Texas Holdem Poker games any unpaired hand will completely miss the flop approximately 66% of the time. Unless your opponent started the hand with a pair, they will often find it difficult to call a bet on the flop based on the strength of their hand. This means that you will often find yourself in a position to steal a pot where you also missed the flop, with a ?continuation bet?. This is usually undertaken when you raised before the flop ? thus ?continuing? the strength you showed. This article gives 5 tips to help you ensure that your continuation bets are a profitable play:
1. Continuation Bet against as few opponents as possible. The ideal number of opponents is just one, you might also consider continuation betting against 2 opponents on some occasions. Any more than this and you need a hand to continue, it is just too likely that someone hit enough of the flop to call your bet.
2. A Half-Pot Bet only needs to work 1/3rd of the time to break even, any more than this is a profit for you. If you vary your bet size to ensure that ?made hands? and continuation bets are similar in size you will be more difficult for your opponents to read.
3. Beware of ?Draw-Heavy? flops. A flop containing suited and / or connected cards is less attractive for continuation bets. If your opponent calls you then you will not know whether they have a made hand or are drawing to a flush or straight. This will make your future decision making difficult.
4. Skilled opponents will know that continuation betting is a high-percentage play and will expect you to do this on many occasions. Tend to continuation bet less against tricky opponents who may call you just to see if you will fire again on the turn. Not betting every time you are checked to on the flop will improve the credibility of the times you do choose to continuation bet.
5. When an ace falls on the flop you usually have an excellent opportunity to continuation bet against a small number (preferably one) opponent. Since an ace is the first assumption opponents will make about your holding they are unlikely to continue with the hand unless they hold an ace or a stronger hand themselves.
Continuation bets are great if used wisely. Remember that sometimes you will be called and don’t worry about that. If you are called and have nothing, don’t try a second bet on the turn, unless you are pretty sure that you are ahead.

Short-Handed Sit and Go Example: part 5
Posted: Fri, 15 Aug 2008 13:33:44 +0000
This is the fifth part of the series about the following tournament:
Details:
Full Tilt Poker > $22+$2 Texas Hold’em Sit and Go Tournament
6 Players; Starting Chips: 1,500
Prize Pool: $132 (1st $85.80 2nd $46.20)
Part #5
After a disastrous suckout of a full house versus quads, we’re finally down to 2 players. Fortunately for me, my opponent is the tight and conservative player, and judging by the last few hands he’s played his style hasn’t change. Although that’s not to say he won’t change his style in heads-up mode, so I’ll have to put in a few raises early to get a feel for how he plays.
- Blinds: 600/1200
- Chip Stack: 4,600
- Position: Dealer
- Hand: A? 10?
In heads-up if you have an Ace in your hand the probability that your opponent has one as well is approximately 12% making any A-x a strong starting hand head-up.
I raise to 2,400 and he quickly folds, and I pick up his 1,200 leaving him with just 3,200.
- Blinds: 600/1200
- Chip Stack: 5,800
- Position: Big Blind
- Hand: K? 7?
Player 1 completes the BB and I raise again to 2,400, he pushes all-in and I fold.
- Blinds: 600/1200
- Chip Stack: 4,600
- Position: Dealer
- Hand: A? Q?
Another big hand in the dealer position but this time I decide to slow play and I just complete the BB. Player 1 checks.
Flop
10? 5? J?
Player 1 checks.
I bet 1,200 and he folds.
This is a crucial mistake made by my opponent. If he had bet 1,200 I would have folded immediately. By checking he relinquishes control of the betting and essentially invites me to raise.
I continue to raise with any Ace and King until finally he’s left with just 1,200 in the BB with Q?7? and I win with K? 10?.
The key to winning in heads-up is taking control of the betting. Most of the time pots are won either before the flop or on the flop, it’s very rare that you’ll find yourself going to the turn or the river. Establish early on how your opponent plays. If he’s tight and conservative you’ll need to raise with any decent hand you have. Against an aggressive player you’ll need to pick your spots. While you shouldn’t become submissive and fold to his every raise, you shouldn’t re-raise with 8-3 either.
This is the end of this series, but stay tuned for experiments like this in the future.

Short-Handed Sit and Go Example: part 4
Posted: Fri, 08 Aug 2008 13:32:45 +0000
This is the fourth part of the series about the following tournament:
Details:
Full Tilt Poker > $22+$2 Texas Hold’em Sit and Go Tournament
6 Players; Starting Chips: 1,500
Prize Pool: $132 (1st $85.80 2nd $46.20)
Part #4
With the blinds at 300/600 only one player away from the money and the chip stacks being very close together it’s time to switch into hyper aggressive mode and start stealing blinds.
Here is the chip count at this point:
- Player 1: 3,750
- Me: 3,225
- Player 2: 2,025
- Blinds: 300/600
- Chip Stack: 3,225
- Position: Dealer
- Hand: Q? 10?
Q? 10? is not a hand I would normally consider raising with, but it’ll do the job for stealing the blinds. Sitting under the gun pre-flop is also not the ideal position to attempt a steal either but my logic for doing so is that the players against whom I am playing are fairly experienced and a raise in the BB at this stage of the tournament would raise some alarms. Instead by raising under the gun I am sending out a message that I am holding a strong hand and I’m ready to follow through.
I raise to 1,800 and just as expected both players fold immediately, and I pick up 900 in chips to put me over the 4,000 mark and regain the chip lead.
The important thing to remember when stealing the blinds is to constantly vary your bet amounts, and the position from which you raise. If you constantly raise 3x the BB from the BB position players will quickly recognize a pattern and it won’t be long before players start calling or raising you.
Another point to consider is that when you’re on the bubble, one away from the money, most players tighten up and only play premium hands. This presents a great opportunity for me to come in and steal their blinds which they so easily relinquish.
A few hands later I’m in the BB and I’m ready to attempt another steal.
I’m holding J? 8?, player 2 folds, and player 1 raises in the SB to 1,200. I’m determined to steal this pot and I re-raise to 1.800. He thinks for a second and pushes all-in. Even though I’m nearly certain this is an attempt to steal the pot and to test me, I lay my hand down.
Never become confrontational when you’re faced with resistance during an attempt to steal. In this case perhaps Player 1 had nothing but napkins, but I was not willing to put my tournament life at risk just to find out.

World Championship of Poker Online (WCOOP 2008)
Posted: Tue, 05 Aug 2008 20:07:23 +0000
The large and live poker tournaments brought to you by the World Series of Poker and World Poker Tour get a lot of attention from the public and media alike. There’s nothing more exciting than watching hundreds of top notch poker players compete for millions in prize money, except maybe participating. The World Championship of Online Poker gives you a chance to do just that, and from the comfort of your own home too.

They started the Championship in 2002, and the participation level and prize pool has grown wildly every year since. This year’s tournament will be the biggest yet in every way imaginable. Anyone can qualify via Poker Stars many cash, sit-n-go, and steps satellite tournaments, but if you miss your chance there you can always buy in directly.

Buy-ins for these events range from $215 to $25,500. The buy-in for the main event is $5,200.

But if you’re not lucky enough to win a place via the satellites, the buy-ins for each WCOOP event are fairly reasonable and far easier than playing sit-n-go’s for days.

Short-Handed Sit and Go Example: part 3
Posted: Fri, 01 Aug 2008 13:21:41 +0000
This is the third part of the series about the following tournament:
Details:
Full Tilt Poker > $22+$2 Texas Hold’em Sit and Go Tournament
6 Players; Starting Chips: 1,500
Prize Pool: $132 (1st $85.80 2nd $46.20)
Part #3
- Blinds: 120/240
- Chip Stack: 2,725
- Position: Dealer
- Hand: 7? 7?
In early position and middle position I would normally just make a small raise with a medium pocket pair, but playing on the button always warrants a raise of approximately 4x the BB. My goal is of course to win the pot right there without seeing a flop, but if someone looks me up I have a pair to fall back on and a roughly 12% chance of hitting a set on the flop.
The player in front of me limps in for 300, and I immediately raise to 960. The SB calls, the BB folds, and Player 1 calls. Not exactly what I was hoping, but I’ll see how these two play the flop and I’ll attempt a steal with a continuation bet.
The flop comes
7? A? K?
Between flopping a set and having two callers to my initial 960 raise I’m feeling fairly confident that I’ll be able to knock out at least one player on this hand.
Player 1 checks
The BB checks
Player 1 is a very tight player and I’m taken aback by the fact that he checked with A? K? on the flop because I figure he must have paired his Ace. The BB on the other hand is a wild card and he easily could have called the raise with any two cards.
I take a look at my opponents’ chip stacks
- Player 1 1,375
- Big Blind 2,100
With two ? on the board I’m not about to let these two see a free card so I opt for a raise. I’m fairly certain that Player 1 does not have two ? in his hand but that he did pair his Ace and that he would call an all-in. My only concern at this point is the BB who may very well be holding clubs.
I bet 2,100, the BB does indeed fold as expected and Player 1 calls and shows me A?-Q?.
The turn and river come 2? Q? and I knock out another player.
Post game Analysis
The last thing I wanted in this spot is to have Player 1 triple up to take the chip lead and that’s why it’s always important to isolate an opponent if you’re going to call him all-in.
Alternatively you should never call an all-in if there has already been a call in front of you unless you’re absolutely certain you’re holding the best hand.

This is the second part of the series about the following tournament:
Details:
Full Tilt Poker > $22+$2 Texas Hold’em Sit and Go Tournament
6 Players; Starting Chips: 1,500
Prize Pool: $132 (1st $85.80 2nd $46.20)
Part #2
The next few hands were very weak and I opted to mostly sit back and observe the other players instead.
- Blinds: 50/100
- Chip Stack: 4,155
- Position: 1 place before the dealer
- Hand: J?10?
Suited connectors are very dangerous cards to play, and require some careful analysis.
The player under the gun raises to 300. I’ve identified this player as a very loose player and a raise in early position is not uncommon and he’s made this type of raise before with questionable hands such as A?5?.
Everyone folds around to me and with the chip lead in late position I immediately make the call.
The dealer and the small blind fold, and the BB makes the call. The BB is a very tight player and so far has only been playing premium hands.
The flop comes
4? 7? 5?
I have 9 outs to the flush, or roughly 2:1 odds against it (9 divided by 47 unseen cards).
The BB bets 600 in a pot of 950.
The other player folds around to me.
With pot odds of 1.5:1 versus my 2:1 odds of making the flush by the river I’m not getting the right odds to call and considering that I’m up against a tight player who’s most likely holding a strong pair, in the 10-10 range I decide to fold.
Post Game Analysis
This hand ran through my head for the rest of the tournament and I couldn’t help but wonder if I’d made the right call. I checked my notes and something which hadn’t caught my attention was the fact that my opponent only had 990 chips left after making the raise. This is was a crucial piece of information because if he was willing to bet 60% of his chips on the flop there was no doubt he would have pushed all-in on the turn.
A few hands later a very similar situation arose with this same player and another player. Player 1 raised to 400 pre-flop and only one Player 2 called. The flop came
A? 10? 3?
Player 1 bet 800 and Player 2 pushed all-in for 1,400, Player 1 called immediately and showed
A?-K?. Player 1 had A?-7? and lost when the J? came on the river.
This simply added confirmation to what I already knew that Player 1 is a very tight player.
Now we were down to 4 players.

We will start today a five part article series about a sit-and-go real situation, with strategy advice and explanations.
Details:
Full Tilt Poker > $22+$2 Texas Hold’em Sit and Go Tournament
6 Players; Starting Chips: 1,500
Prize Pool: $132 (1st $85.80 2nd $46.20)
Part #1
- Blinds: 15/30
- Chip Stack: 1,500
- Position: Small Blind
- Hand: A? A?
Normally in the early stages of a tournament I like to sit out the first 5 or so hands to get a feel for the other players, but there’s no way I’m going to give up the opportunity of gaining an early chip lead with aces.
Everyone calls the BB and the action comes around to me. Normally in a spot like this I would raise with the pocket rockets but since the blinds are just at 15/30 I want as many players to the flop as possible. The BB checks and we have ourselves a family pot.
Pot: 180
The flop comes
K? 7? J?
A rainbow flop with no possible straight draws, the perfect opportunity to slow play my Aces.
I check
BB raises to 90
The action folds around to the dealer who calls.
I call as well.
Pot: 450
The turn
10?
Two ? on the board, and I’m going to value bet half the pot for 225 to represent a flush draw.
The BB bites and re-raises to 450, the dealer gets out of the way, and I call.
Pot: 1,350
River
2?
A total blank but I still want to represent a busted flush draw so I bet another 450. The BB pushes all-in for 930 or an additional 480 and I make the call.
He flips over A?K? and I show him the A? A?. My chip stack is now at 3,210 with one player down.
Post Game Analysis
Moving all-in on the first hand was very risky. While I had put my opponent on a King with a strong kicker I did not have any tangible information about what type of player he was and he easily could have been slow playing a set on the flop by making a weak raise.
