Most people who play poker seriously started by playing in home games. The structure of these games is simple. Generally, everyone would ante a certain amount (say, $0.25) and then the betting was structured as to have a minimum and maximum bet. For example, the bets and raises would range between $0.25 and $2 each round.
The play at home games was generally: bet, call (or perhaps bet, raise, call.) Most hands would go to a showdown, and typically the person who had the hottest… Continue

How much money should I invest?
This is an important question, with two simple answers.
If you are a beginner or just looking to have fun, don't invest any more than is 'fun' to lose. Hence, if you're comfortable blowing a hundred bucks, put in $100 and see if you can win with it. This is what I did. My original roll was only $100, but I built it up into my current, much more powerful bankroll.
Bankroll considerations are different for a seasoned player who… Continue

Poker sharks are commonly described as tight and aggressive: "These poker pros do not play many hands, but when they play them, they play them like they have the nuts."
That's a nice general description, but it doesn't say much. In my opinion, a solid poker player is one who has mastered the four key skills of poker.

Why play poker? It seems like a simple question, but the answer is both complex and personal. There are many different reasons to play or not to play poker. Often, the reasons a person has for playing poker will shed light on what type of player that person is and what limits and games he should play.

Also , if you havent already heard , we hold a monthly Charity game for the Make a Wish Foundation , its on the 1st saturday every month , its only $4 to enter with half the buy in going to the kids .
This is played at http://www.carbonpoker.com/_06ea9cf5d67c98d7e4b6002f06212308/1
You can find it listed under Tournaments/ Private.
Its named "The 5th Street Charity Ball"
We usually get around 50 players in this every month but it would be great to see the numbers rise and raise ALOT more money for the kids
No matter where you finish at the end of the tournament you win because half of the money goes to the Make a Wish Foundation. Stop and think for even half a minute; how would you feel if that $2 from your entry that goes to the foundation is all that was needed to make it possible for a gravely ill child to do that one thing they wish to do before they die? Personally that thought almost takes my breath away!
So come on and get yourself registered and have some fun playing and the that really good feeling because you made a child's last wish come true!!
Hugs!!
