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.

New Poker Venue for Wednesdays

Greetings Posh Poker people!! I want to start this newsletter by thanking you for the best attendance ever for our final tournament this past Sunday, and also to congratulate the top three finishers

Gordon Snider, Doug Beam, and new champion Jerry McEntire! They outlasted the all-star field of 42 to finish in the money.

As you all probably know, our Tony’s schedule has just changed from Wednesdays at 8pm to Sundays at 5pm beginning this week! Points from last Wed. will transfer to the Sunday game moving forward.

In an effort to provide consistent variety and host as many tournaments as possible in our area, it is my pleasure to announce we will begin a Wednesday 8pm tournament at Roswell’s own Veranda Greek Taverna, which is located at 11235 Alpharetta Highway (right past Andretti Speedway and across the street). This venue has it’s own poker room off to the side of the bar, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, with attentive and friendly servers. In addition, the food is rated excellent all over the web! Besides the normal $30/$20/$10 gift certificates, we will also begin this week by giving $100 to the 1st place finisher!! So RSVP and come see us on Wednesday at the Taverna! Sign up by 7:45 and you get an extra 5K chip!!! I look forward to playing each of you in this new venue!
