Sunday Schedule Changes

Churchill once said “there is nothing wrong with change if it is in the right direction.”

Effective Immediately, we will suspend the Sunday early tournament at Tony’s Grill until further notice; with this, we would also like to change the start time of our Veranda tournament to 7pm every Sunday night!! This will enable us more time to catch cards, withstand bad beats, and still get home in time to get ready for Monday.

Keep in mind, for our Tuesday through Thursday tournaments, it will be business as usual.

If you are currently among the top 30 in points for Tony’s Sunday, you are automatically in the quarterly final tournament which will be held on Sat. May 22 at Veranda Greek Taverna at 5pm. Stay tuned for today’s password and other Posh Poker updates.

All the Best

Jeff

Free Poker Strategy

Despite the fact that I have said that you shouldn’t play different because the game is free, but you should adjust to the situation, it’s easy to conclude that the situation in free poker is often predictable. Therefore you can easily come up with some strategies based on these predictable situations. Learn how your opponents play and whether they play differently because it is “free”, then make the adjustments to beat them.

Announcing a raise

In a recent episode of the World Series of Poker Europe a teachable moment occurred in a hand between Shawn Deeb and Daniel Negraneu. The video is on linked on this page (look for the video on the lower right), or you can just click here: WSOP Europe Main Event E04 5/5. Fast forward to about 3:22 to see the hand.

Negraneu limps in a hand with pocket 77’s, Deeb raises, and Negraneu re-raises by saying “I’m going to pound you back a little”. To those with live poker experience, that’s an obvious raise announcement, but Deeb, who is primarily an online poker player, accuses him of a string raise. He gets a little pouty too when after the floor is asked for a ruling, they side with Negraneu.

Not everyone knows all the etiquette of live poker, but Deeb, who has been playing in major live tournments for the past few years, should have known better. At any rate, it’s a good lesson for folks who primarily play online and also learning to play live.
