					  <description>If you place in the money (ITM) in sit and go tournaments it means that you have risen above the average and defeated six or seven other opponents to get to the final three. An above average performance means that you reach the money more than 30% of the time. This is a result of simple math. Ten players at a table, only three make the money. Therefore, if you can place more than 30% of the time, you are above average.</description>

					  <description>Now, if you know your players well, and have taken notes in this game or others, you may have opportunity to make position moves. When you are late in position, that's the time to re-raise players who may be over aggressive, maniacal, gun shy, or min-raising chumps who like to see flops. Watch for these rare spots to chip up, otherwise, stay out of the fray.</description>

					  <description>Your progression from superior Texas Hold em Poker player to eventual tournament champion begins with mastering shorthanded games. Shorthanded games typically involve five or six players and are very common in online poker rooms. When you are playing in a shorthanded game the action can come to you fast and furious. Youll be playing in more hands more quickly than in your typical ring games.</description>

					  <description>While we all dream of becoming a master Texas Hold em Poker player, the stark reality is that most players never progress to become an effective and consistent player.

					  <description>By the incontestable laws of probabilities and mathematics, this is undeniable. It doesnt matter if you are playing with a hundred bucks or a million, the result is always the same. It has been widely reported that a certain multiple WPT champion has repeatedly played over his bankroll and blown his WPT winnings. It happens on any level, as the principle is the same.</description>

					  <title>Poker Strategy Article: Why It's Good To Be Unlucky at Party Poker.</title>

					  <description>As with many other players on Party Poker, I do feel that a lot of foolish plays and draws payoff frequently to those care-free players who either just dont know any better, or are dead bent on losing money. Luck has a way of keeping these players around with just enough hope that they can run through a whole tournament and win a big prize without the application of common poker sense.</description>

					  <title>What Are the Odds - Big Slick Suited</title>
					  <link>http://www.pokerstrategyarticles.com/articles/66/1/What-Are-the-Odds---Big-Slick-Suited/What-Are-the-Odds---Big-Slick-Suited.html</link>
					  <description>Against any pair, even a lowly pair of twos, Big Slick at best a coin flip. Sometimes it is a slight underdog because if you do not create a hand with the board cards, Ace high will lose to a pair. Against hands like AQ or KQ where you have the higher of the cards in the opposing hand covered, AKs is roughly a 7 to 3 favorite. Thats about as good as it gets pre-flop with this hand. Its as good as taking AKs up against 72 offsuit. </description>

					  <description>The ranks of the cards are given, followed by a letter indicating their suit. So the King of Clubs is written, Kc. The two of Hearts is written as 2h. Tens are written as the letter T. You may see a flop described as Ac 4d Th. The Ace of Clubs, Four of Diamonds, and Ten of Hearts. </description>

					  <link>http://www.pokerstrategyarticles.com/articles/64/1/Home-Poker-Tournaments---Chip-Races/Home-Poker-Tournaments---Chip-Races.html</link>
					  <description>The first way to deal with this situation is to ignore it. It won&#39;t go away, but those leftover 10 chips will only be put into play when a player is going all-in. At that time you can sort out any situations as they occur. Eventually one player will gather enough of the small chips to cash them in.

					  <title>There&#39;s More to Poker than Texas Holdem!</title>
					  <link>http://www.pokerstrategyarticles.com/articles/57/1/Theres-More-to-Poker-than-Texas-Holdem/Theres-More-to-Poker-than-Texas-Holdem.html</link>
					  <description>Texas Holdem By far the most popular poker game in the world today, probably because it is very simple to learn but extremely difficult to master. Two cards are dealt to each player, then three face up on the table (the flop), another face up on the table (the turn), then a final card face up on the table known as the river. Players use their own two (hole) cards and any three from the table to make the best five card hand. There is a round of betting before the flop then before the turn and river, and finally after the river card is dealt.</description>

					  <description>Don&#39;t be fooled by people checking. Usually it&#39;s because they don&#39;t have a decent hand and want to take a look at the next card for free in the hope that they make a hand, however it can also be a &#34;slow-play&#34;. This is where the player is trying to hide the fact that he&#39;s got a good hand in the hope of getting somebody else to start the betting so beware.

					  <description>The next step up in your poker ladder is to move on to the paid entry tournaments, even if you are only paying a dollar or two to enter. Heres the difference between them in a nutshell. Poker freerolls typically have a total prize fund of anything from 50 to 500, this is money put up by the poker website itself so that you go there and play, brand recognition in other words.

					  <description>It is a classic poker manouever and one which has won a lot of money for poker players down through the ages, but it has lost it&#39;s effectiveness. The simple reason for this is that everybody is now slow playing their big hands so it is almost expected.

So how do you use this situation to your advantage?

					  <title>Chasing A Flush Online</title>
					  <link>http://www.pokerstrategyarticles.com/articles/37/1/Chasing-A-Flush-Online/Chasing-A-Flush-Online.html</link>
					  <description>Chasing anything in Texas Holdem poker is the practice of betting to stay in a hand in the hope that you will make a better hand, even although you might have absolutely nothing at the time. So chasing a flush means betting that you will get the card or card that you need to complete your flush hand on the turn or river. You can&#39;t chase a flush before the flop because at that time you only have two cards so the flush isn&#39;t on.

					  <title>Poker Strategy - Avoiding the Tilt</title>
					  <link>http://www.pokerstrategyarticles.com/articles/35/1/Poker-Strategy---Avoiding-the-Tilt/Poker-Strategy---Avoiding-the-Tilt.html</link>
					  <description>The main reason, in fact the reason in the overwhelming amount of times a poker player goes on tilt, is that he has just suffered a bad loss when he had expected to win the hand, in other words a &#34;bad beat&#34;. This causes a massive surge in emotion in the poker player which cannot be controlled by the average person. Emotions are far more powerful than our powers of reasoning and logic, they will always win the battle of thought processes. </description>

					  <description>No limit Texas Holdem is the game of choice these days - and for good reason. The fact that anyone can decide to push a large raise or all of their chips into the pot by going &#34;all-in&#34; at any moment, adds an exciting dimension to the game. Unlike limit Texas Holdem, where each round of betting takes place in prescribed, fixed increments, no limit Texas Holdem is as varied as the players at the table, since everyone chooses their own betting style and approach. </description>

					  <description>The game of poker has several different variants that can be played. Understanding what hand you have and just how to play that hand is crucial to your winning the game. Though poker is predominantly a game of chance, and you are only as lucky as the hand you play, how you play that hand can make all the difference.

					  <title>Big Blind And Little Blind</title>
					  <link>http://www.pokerstrategyarticles.com/articles/19/1/Big-Blind-And-Little-Blind/Big-Blind-And-Little-Blind.html</link>
					  <description>The big blind and small blind are the automatic bets that must be made in any single hand of a poker game. The higher the stakes you are playing, the higher the blinds. When you are on either one of the blinds, you aren't in a positional advantage. Remember, acting last gives you positional advantage because it means you get to see what your opponents do before you act. This is why where you sit at the table during a poker game is very important to your game. </description>
