Play Holdem on the Web

April 7th, 2016 No comments

With the ever-growing appeal of hold’em poker games, most notably Texas Holdem, a number of people are discovering how interesting it can be to bet on Hold’em on the web. The majority of online poker sites look after Holdem enthusiasts, with Texas Holdem variations being the most popular.

Many poker players notice that when they participate in Holdem online they are getting quite a bit more than simply a couple of hours of entertainment. Poker websites provide players a wide variety of ways to enjoy playing their favored games, with the chance to win some serious money. You can play hold’em on the net at low-stakes games to get warmed up, where antes are as low as five and 10 cents, and work your way to the higher-stakes tables where antes can be as large as one hundred or 200 dollars. Start with the small-stakes games to tweak your skills and then move to the big-stakes tables at either a web poker site or in a brick and mortar casino.

When you enjoy hold’em on the net, regardless if it is texas hold’em, Omaha hold’em, or one of the numerous other hold’em variations, you need to follow the same game practices that you will adhere to at a brick and mortar casino. One of the advantages that you will have when participating on the web is that the poker program that the website uses can often do some things for you, for instance putting in the mini or big blind, or it will remind you regarding what you have to do next. This is especially helpful for novices.

NL Holdem Poker- Who is Phil Ivey?

April 1st, 2016 No comments

Phil Ivey has been labeled as the best poker contender in the world by most of the top-ranked pros. Phil was born in Riverside, CA and relocated to New Jersey before reaching turning one. His grandpa showed him to penny-ante Five-Card Stud poker. From that point on, Phil was hooked on poker and wanted to learn every little thing he could about poker. He would tell his parents that he wanted to be a professional poker player. He didn’t let the negative feedback from others annihilate his dream of being one of the greatest poker players on the planet.

He started competing intently after getting a false ID by the name of Jerome. He sharpened his game at the poker rooms in Atlantic City. The first number of years for him were a learning opportunity and winning wasn’t a normal outcome at the time. He made his mark at the 2000 WSOP when he made two final tables and came away with his first World Series of Poker bracelet, in a $2, five hundred Pot-Limit Omaha match. At the closing table he destroyed quite a few of the better known professionals including "Amarillo Slim" Preston, David "Devilfish" Ulliot, and Phil Hellmuth, Jr.

He made a decision to take his skills to the successive level and moved out west to Vegas. He continues to participate in in "The Big Game" at the Bellagio with the best players in the world. Ivey credits his success to hard work and an undying love for poker. He states that he’s learning every day and is very abashed about his achievements. Phil knows he makes mistakes in each game of poker and constantly strives to improve.

Despite the fact that Ivey has won some big-time tournaments, he prefers destroying money games on a regular basis.
