Winning Low Limit
Poker: Finding the
right table online
Winning Low Limit
Poker is an easy way
to slide into
playing for real
from playing for
free at websites
such as
It is important to
understand that when
we talk low limit
poker we are
referring to $0.5-$1
and $1-$2 tables.
1. Pick a table and
try to stick with a
full table.
It's more difficult
to play winning Low
Limit Poker at a
short-handed table.
2. Finding the right
player to go against
online. This
is tough as you're
limited when it
comes to feeling out
that player in the
virtual world.
My God, you could
end up against a
true pro like
Gambling911.com's
Jenny Woo and not
even know it.
Needless-to-say,
this will take some
getting used to.
Eventually you'll
start meeting the
same players online
and getting a feel
for their individual
personalities.
What you need to
find in winning low
limit poker is the
The flop percentage
on any respective
poker website.
It is the most
important figure in
determining the
quality of players
at the table and
shows how many
players are paying
to see the flop. You
will know how loose
a game is. On a
ten-seat table 25%
would be very tight
and 40% pretty
loose.
With pot size
averages you will
know that more
players are
contributing and
this also provides a
good indication as
to how loose the
game is.

Pitfall Hands -
Limit Hold'em
Now that we have
discussed winning
low limit poker
table selection
strategies let's
review Pitfall Hands
for Limit Hold'em.
Some hands play very
easily in a hold'em
game pre-flop. When
you get pocket aces,
you raise and when
you're dealt 7-2
offsuit, you fold.
Even pocket fours in
a multi-way pot are
easy to fold when
they don't hit on
the flop and there
is action in front
of you. With weak
hands and strong
hands, the decisions
are simple. But it
is the correct
decisions on
marginal hands that
will make you a
winner in the long
run. There are a
number of hands
pre-flop that can
get you into quite a
bit of trouble if
you call in the
wrong situation.
Hands like A-10
offsuit or K-10
suited, even A-K
offsuit, by no means
a weak or marginal
hand, can get you
into trouble
post-flop. The key
is to recognize
these trouble
situations before
they start. This
will require you to
draw together a lot
of information
pre-flop to help you
make a tough
decision. The main
thing you need to
focus on in this
situation is your
opponents: their
position, style of
play, the game
texture and any
pre-flop raises in
front of you.
Let's look at A-10
suited as an
example. You are in
late position and a
tight player in
front of you raises
pre-flop, getting
one caller before
your turn to act.
You should fold
here. Your hand is
most likely beat or
dominated. If the
player who raised
was ignorant or a
maniac the story
might be different,
but unless you are
bailed out by a
flush you will most
likely make the
second best hand
here. And in poker
"second place is the
first loser" rings
very true because
the second place
hand will lose the
most money.

Stud poker tip
Who knows more about
studs than your
favorite poker
player/writer/babe/attention
deficit tick hottie
Jenny Woo? So
yeah I consider my
expert on providing
the perfect stud
poker tip.
Next to Texas Holdem
Poker, stud Poker is
one of the most
popular variations
for home, casino and
online Poker games.
You can find stud
Poker tips in many
places (and no boys,
not my
bedroom....well,
maybe not), from
gambling web sites
to asking friends to
watching the pros at
the World Series of
Poker. Stud Poker is
a fun and
challenging game,
and often pays out
more to winners than
Texas Hold 'Em. The
rules for stud Poker
are fairly
straightforward.
Poker odds calculator: Software enhances your poker
skills
Jenny
is always asked: "How did you learn how to play
poker online so well?" My response: "I
didn't. That's why I suck!" But for
those of you who want to learn and enhance your
skills, might I advise poker odds calculators.
These are great for
No Limit Texas Holdem
and other Texas Holdem variations.
And not just any 'ol
poker odds calculators, how's about poker odds
calculators that are right on your home computer as
part of an innovative software package.
The multibillion
dollar Internet Poker market is saturated with
hundreds of sites serving millions of American poker
aficionados, as I found out this past week during
the 2006 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. I'm
still aching by the way, and not just my feet
hehehehe.
There's a growing
interest in three card Poker, mainly because people
think it's easy to win big (given the right three
card Poker strategy, of course).
After all, it's fun
to think in 3's because....well....adding a third is
more exciting than just two, especially when playing
No Limit Texas Holdem.
There are two ways
to bring home the bucks (actually there are more
than two ways, but we won't get into all of that on
this page): getting a better hand than the dealer
(the ante) and an optional bet, getting a pair or
higher (the pair plus). It is simple and short,
making a three card Poker strategy far less
complicated than other variations and ideal for
beginners or people who are looking for a quickie.
When
Jenny thinks of Omaha, two things come to mind:
Steaks and "Thank God for Miami". Now that I'm
a poker girl, there is Omaha Poker and your girl
Jenny is going to attempt to show you how to play
Omaha Poker.
Is this where I segway into my High School story
about "cow tipping" in Pensacola?
Here is a brief history lesson as my editor always
encourages Jenny to offer cultural teachings in my
writings. Omaha is the largest city in Iowa
with a population of close to 400,000. The
Pawnee and Otoe tribes had inhabited the region for
hundreds of years by the time the Omaha tribe had
arrived from the south in the early 1700s.
The Omaha
speak a Siouan language. Hence, we got Sioux
City, Iowa.
Jenny in doing her
research on Omaha Poker Strategy, stumbled upon
this useful site. Translation: I
don't know squat about Omaha Poker Strategy so I
will stoop to pulling up information from another
worthy website and provide you with all the Omaha
Poker strategy from PlayingWinningPoker.com.
Well, actually, I'd
encourage you to visit them.
You know what
though, my ADT is getting out of control and I
recently made some new MySpace friends, the boys
from
WickedChopsPoker.com and come to find out
that 1/3 of the three entities that put this site
together are 1/2 Italian. I guess that makes
them "half breeds"?
Online poker
cheating unfortunately is quite common and our Jenny
Woo is here to explain how to spot a cheater
People often ask
me: "Jenny, how do you do it? Beauty, brains,
talent and you're an accomplished poker player?"
Whoa there horsy,
I've only started playing poker - What is it?
The past month? Beauty, brains, talent....it's
a cake walk.
But honestly, there
is some cheating involved. If not for a
wonderful editor, some of my articles might never
get beyond the cutting room floor. If not for
my wonderful plastic surgeon, these here breasts of
mine might actually be real as opposed to real
expensive. And as for the brains part,
that might be the hardest of them all hehehe
especially with my ADT acting up all the time.
A lot of my "smarts" is derived from cheating.
So yes, I can be a
cheater. And guess what Boys, Cheating can be
applied to online poker.
No-Limit
Texas Holdem is a game of general strategy, basic
tactical skills useful in all forms of poker, and a
game of intense psychology. In other words,
Jenny's ADT needs to go straight out the window!
It's a game where you must pay careful attention and
you must know the type of players, similar to a boy
meets girl scenario....know the cads, know whose got
the dough, know what's behind them there wranglers
hehehe!
As I prepare to hit
the poker circuit, this diva has been secretly
honing her No Limit Texas Holdem skills. But
before I get into basic strategy, first we need to
distinguish between the types of players you will
encounter when playing No Limit Texas Holdem,
keeping in mind that this girl has very few limits
so I might be at a slight advantage here. Some
- like the tight passives - prefer more of a, well,
missionary approach....as I will attempt to explain
below.
So
just who are my opponents? Hopefully a
few gorgeous hunks, some sexy ****** and a porn star
poker pro like David Williams. More than
likely, I'll be playing along side Wilbur and Jane
The Librarian.
