Free Poker vs. Online Poker vs. “Real” Poker

(Apparently there are a few of you who read these… feel free to comment on them and tell me why I’m wrong or right or just plain nuts).

Free Poker vs. Online Poker vs. “Real Poker”

Anyone who plays Free poker regularly eventually gets into a discussion regarding the differences between Free Poker and other poker which usually refers to live poker, or poker for money. Recently I’ve had a lot of discussions regarding online poker too.

Inevitably someone states “You have to play different”. While on the surface that’s true, I don’t agree with the statement.

Playing Pocket Aces

How do you play pocket aces?

I’ve been intending to write some articles about playing specific hands for a while, starting with pocket aces. Last night, while playing at Tony’s, I ran across Aces when I played someone who had them. The way he played them was a way that normally I wouldn’t endorse, and in fact would caution against it, but he made the right play.

My opponent limped in, under the gun, with pocket aces. I had AKs and felt I had to raise in middle position. Of course he re-raised me which took me by surprise. While I eventually got away from the hand (after seeing the flop and the turn), he took a hefty portion of my stack, and to rub it in a bit more, showed me the winning hand. (Who can blame him, I’d do it too).

I’ve had many discussions on how to play pocket aces
