  • Why Playing Online Poker Without a Rakeback Bonus Sucks - Before I take this discussion any further I just want to make it clear that everyone benefits from having a good rakeback deal; high stake gamblers and low limit players. If you play poker, rakeback is the same as free money. However, at some limits rakeback is far more important. I'll try to explain why: First we have to analyze poker rooms' rake conditions. The rake is usually around 5% of the total pot, a $10 pot is therefore raked with 50 cent (10 x 0.05 = 0.5). The rake is usually capped at $3. A $1000 pot is not raked with 5%, which should be $50; the maximum rake amount is still $3. One could say that the rake is 5% when the pot is $60 or smaller (0.05 x 60 = 3). When the pot size exceeds $60, the rake percentage goes down.

  • Looking In: Introspection in the Game of Poker - To rise high enough to be considered art, an activity of any complexity requires deep introspection. In poker or in any similar complicated function, one must acquire an intimate knowledge of self, more so than is comfortable for must people.

Self criticizing one's character is not something anyone looks forward to.

  • Determining the Poker Game Most Profitable For You - Poker consists of not one game but is really a complicated group of games that are related to each other in some way. So while they are interrelated, some require a much different set of strategies and experience than some of the perhaps more popularly played versions of the game. If you stick to the more familiar versions of the poker game and do pretty well and step out of your comfort zone occasionally, you will discover that the rules have suddenly changed on you and you have no idea how to proceed.
  • Professional Poker Tools - Table Scanners - If every one played perfect poker, eventually every one would go broke and the game would be over. In this scenario the house is the only winner. If you are the tenth best poker player in the world you should do pretty well for yourself. But what if the other nine players at your table were ranked one through nine?

  • Poker - Knowing When to Quit - We often regret having prolonged the game (to the private glee, we feel, of a few players who led us on). It would have been better, we always realize too late, to have left too early.

What's worse, we can't really say why we have stayed too long and so we are likely to repeat the same mistake when next time we inevitably show up at the table. What is missing in the above scenario is a critical analysis of the situation based on logic, not a hunch.
  • A Beginners Guide to Poker Jargon - Poker has its own distinctive language just like so many other activities, from surfing the net to surfing the perfect wave.

  • Improving in Poker by Doing What You Dislike - Any creative art requires a philosophy. The game of poker, with all its complexities, is an art form.

Obviously, few of us would consider ourselves philosophers.
  • Ways to Improve Your Poker Game - The first step towards becoming a player who does not merely build his poker ego on baseless arrogance and luck or a player who never deviates from a few set rules in order to stay safe against better players, the first step to becoming a good player is to realize that there is always room to improve.

  • A Brief Look at the Psychology of Poker - It is humbling to realize how much our basic functions can take control of our conscious minds. Remember the study of Pavlov and his dogs? This was a scientific study done on dogs where they would salivate at the ringing of a bell. A ringing bell meant food. No other sound meant food to them. This experiment has been tried with other animals as well, with pigeons, cuttlefish and mice to name a few. The same phenomenon occurs with them. Habit conditions them to believe that specific symbols or signs result in a specific event. Additional studies have shown that once this conditioning is thoroughly ingrained, the subject will not seek to learn more possible variations of the same phenomenon.
  • The Good and Bad of Limit Holdem - Following is an analysis of the pros and cons of one of the variations of poker that may be helpful to you. Once upon a time, Limit Hold'em was the most played online poker game. There remain on the net many low and medium limit games in the poker rooms, and a few with a $100/$200 limit. It continues to be the easiest game to find and is a sure bet to continue on that path as only a few players are able to rise to the $20/$40 level. What may be considered a significant plus of the game is the amount of literature devoted to it: many of the contemporary books on poker are devoted to limit games.
  • Deciding Your Poker Game of Choice - Omaha is an interesting game and, as many attest, is quite profitable, but there is comparatively little material you could find to learn safely from, and Hold'em is in fact a good place to start for anyone. At the present time Hold'em ranks as the most popular game in casinos and online and has received much attention in media and literature (online and in book form). Okay, now that Hold'em is the game of choice, which form of Hold'em suits you best personally? Do you gag on risk or thrive on it? If you are the one that goes sky-diving and opens your parachute at the last minute, you thrive on risk.
  • Tell Tale Poker Tells That Can Betray Your Hand - As a poker player you should be well-versed in the art of body language as it can reveal much about your opponents' intentions. With careful observation, you can discern whether a person is out to make love to you or to lop your head off. This art applies to poker in that you can read "tells" on everyone around the table. A tell is a repetitive signal which divulges a players hand and intentions. Apply your knowledge of body language to a situation relevant to the environment. Distinct gestures may be repeated in distinct circumstances.
  • Which of Your Poker Images Should You Hang on To? - Most poker players are totally unaware that they project an image at any given time during a game. They are either unaware that an image should be thoughtfully maintained or are attempting to project no image by keeping that "poker face." Some actually believe that their hooded sweatshirt, shades and moody expression communicates nothing to the other players. Yet they are not invisible and they will always project some kind of persona and divulge enough information for the good player to decipher and use. What they are really doing is attracting better players than themselves to the table and detracting the lamer players that they could actually win money from. To become utterly neutral is not the same as to become beyond observation.
  • No-Limit Tournaments and Cash Games - The Growth in Popularity - No limit tournament poker is far more popular than cash-games in general and limit-games in particular. As many as 75% of the players online, at any given time, may be engaged in tournament holdem of some variety. Having played enough tournaments, it is easier to make the shift into the no-limit world. No-limit is the most popular of all cash games. Thanks to media exposure, it is tournaments that inexperienced and nave players often choose to join and where they are easy to sportively exploit.
  • Online Poker Meets the Planet of the Apes - I'm sure everyone at one time or another has seen a painting of a group of gentlemanly canines engaged in an anthropomorphic game of poker as created by Cassius Coolidge in his wonderful series of poker playing dog paintings. But check this out, the artists whimsicality was not entirely removed from reality. You may be nave enough to think that chips and chimps cannot play together as a team and it sounds more like something out of a Douglas Adams novel. Should you ever play online poker with a player who has an ape photo for his icon, it may not have been just a player with an odd sense of humor, the dude that took your money by his excellent play may really be a poker playing primate. I kid you not.

  • Variation of Texas Hold'em: Omaha Hold'em - One wonderful thing about poker is that there is always something new and exciting surrounding it. New to the world of poker is Omaha hold'em, a variation of Texas hold'em where four cards are dealt instead of two. The additional cards force you to make a choice of which cards you want to play. You have more options than in Texas hold'em, but you also have more decisions to make. In essence, the crux of the matter is which two of the four cards in your hand do you want to play based on the community cards dealt on the table. With Texas hold'em, there is no choice to make, you must play the cards you have been dealt to you to your best ability.

  • Learning to Control Tilt at the Poker Table - Many coping methods fail you when it comes to poker tilts, since the very nature of the tilt is to loosen control mechanisms. Aggression is an intrinsic part of human nature and can't be eliminated even by the most self-disciplined among us. However, there is always a reason behind running amok, there is always a trigger that leads to acts of aggression: hitting your finger with a hammer, an insult, bad news or some other fardle, as Hamlet would call it, while contemplating his bare bodkin. The most common inducer to push one into immediate aggression is discomfort, like pain or pressure. We do not live everyday making a list of what caused our aggressive behavior and forever etch the list in our memory.

Those who had survived the bubonic plague moved to cities, where they formed a new class of merchants and craftsmen - the urban bourgeois. Once the poverty and prejudice of the dark era eased, trade, guilds, and universities began to revive, and new scientific perspectives were discovered along with the time for leisure, play, and pleasure. During the early Renaissance, books, cards, and paintings were manufactured by hand.
