Doyle Brunson, now colloquially known as “The Godfather” of the game of poker, has released a new book called, well, The God Father of Poker. And in this book, he makes a very astute observation about the game we love, and a prediction about where it’s headed.
The times they are a-changin’ is basically the new motto adopted by Brunson in his book, as he details the change in the acceptance of the game. Before it was a shady game to be involved in. Held in the underbelly of old saloons and on the riverboats, the games of old weren’t something for the fait of heart. In fact, the country generally viewed poker online players as unsophisticated degenerates. But in the recent years, that’s all changed. Now we get to watch poker in high-definition, as it’s theatrically edited and made into a widely viewed entertainment spectacle.
But that’s not all that’s changing. More and more educated people are joining in on the sport for the same reasons that Burnson says motivate him to stay in the game. The challenge, wit, skill, and reward of it. Let’s face it. Poker is more than just a game of cards on sites like Everest Poker Francais. It’s a game of people, and a game of survival. And because of that, it’s mass appeal is no surprise to the Old Texas Dolly.

Getting Comfortable at Your Table By B. Butler There is inevitable a period of settling in into any new situation of interaction, especially when money is involved. Often the first few orbits at least of a newly seated poker table will be a bit slower and less action oriented than later in the poker game: nobody wants to sit down and lose a big pot right off the bat, getting stuck and potentially throwing off their whole game. The period of “getting comfortable” at the poker online table then is a space at the table unlike the rest of the session will likely be. While you can’t really control the way this space works, you can be a bit more careful about becoming acclimated in ways that will equip you best for future rounds of play. It is probably most important in these periods to be watching how other players act. The more you can get on your surroundings, the quicker you will feel comfortable with interacting. Seeing their hands with others is just as valuable as with your own, as it opens the array of your familiarity, and funds the information banks that will get you ready quicker to jump in the water.

I was playing a MTT poker online game and had to be somewhere else a few hours into the casino game. I packed up my laptop and jumped into my car 5 minutes or so before the next break was about to begin. The blinds were still small and no antes had been introduced, so I figured it was worth a shot. The other place I had to be was coincidentally another online poker game. If I got there early, I could hook up to their wifi and continue playing. In about a half hour or so I was able to reconnect to my game and had only lost about 700 chips. Though it wasn’t a huge dent in my stack, the inability to add to my stack was the bigger problem. I was average stacked and was now looking for a double up. Nothing was going my way and I found myself getting shorter and shorter as the blinds went up. We were approaching the bubble and I was looking for a good spot to shove and pick up blinds and antes or even double up. With less than 10 big blinds I was put in a strange situation. Blinds were 200/400/50 and I had 3200. UTG+1 I am dealt Ad-10h. In normal circumstances, this is an auto-shove, but the UTG player takes the play away from me. He bets 2,294. I see this as a desperate short stack shove. He’s about to hit the blinds and wants to get a raise in with a decent hand and decide that my ace probably has him dominated. I shove. Everyone folds and then the UTG player still is given a chance to act. He still had 5,000 or so chips behind his bet, but his awkward bet size looked like an all-in to me. He then calls with AA and takes me out 16 places away from the money. If I had known he was opening UTG with chips behind, and not short stack shoving, I would never have moved in. This play is so much stronger when he has chips behind. Unfortunate for me, but I should have been paying more attention. Instead I was playing poker online and live at the same time!

In the continually recursive logic of a discerning poker player, most any hand could be boiled down to the back and forth between players of “What does he think I’m trying to do?” vs. “What do I think he thinks I’m trying to do?” Across the board, the more often you can act out of the mold of what your opponent thinks you will do, and thereby get him to respond to your actions incorrectly, the more money you will win on a pot by pot basis.
Most of the time, the more basic player’s mindset is that whatever you act like is what you’re not. Because online poker is based on deception, it is expected then that if you hit, you are going to act like you didn’t, and if you don’t hit, you’ll act like you did.
For this reason, when acting out of position on a flop that you’ve connected with, it can often be profitable, especially against aggressive players at the casino, to lead out betting with your hand. Because the other player would imagine that if you had a monster you’d check and let them bet, the betting out seems to signify that you are weak. This reversal of roles can throw that important wrench up your opponent’s read, leaving him unsure where you’re really at, and perhaps more likely to pay to find out.

Online poker is all about making the most logical decision based on incomplete information. There is no excuse to let irrational thoughts sway your decision to play, raise, call or fold. But many poker players still let muddled thinking ruin their game.
Muddle thinking comes in all kinds of forms. First, there is old-fashioned superstition, which has no place in poker. Players often refuse to acknowledge that randomness is the rule at the poker table, and instead attribute their losses to other outside forces. It’s not uncommon to see people get up and grab another seat in the belief that it will change their luck; or to claim a particular dealer always delivers cold cards, even though each dealer is bound to practice random shuffling techniques. Some people are superstitious about numbers and will only sit at certain tables or seats. All of this is wishful, magical thinking that has no impact on the game of poker, and will only interfere with logical decision making.
Players also let coincidence muddle their thinking. For instance, folding suited connectors pre-flop because you just won with a flush, so don’t believe you can win with another right away, is plain foolish. The cards are always random and one hand does not influence the next.
Each new hand has no connection to the preceding round, and should be played according to sound logic based on the cards, position and other players’ patterns. Any time you credit outside forces for your results at poker, you are setting yourself up to make poor decisions and ultimately painful losses.

So far I’ve seen table tennis, beach volleyball, and synchronized diving at the Beijing Olympics this year, and every time I ask myself “How is this an Olympic sport?” Lucky for the Olympics I haven’t yet seen badminton, or else I think I’d really flip my lid. But let’s turn things on their heads, shall we? What about Summer Olympics poker?
OK, when you’re done laughing, listen up. I can wait. Pillar of patience, I am.
Anyway, Summer Olympics poker would at least be as watchable as speed walking, which involves people walking as fast as they can without having more than one foot in the air at any given time. Seriously, it exists, and people take it very seriously. They even have flags and penalties and judges. Three two-footers in the air, and you are OUT. I’m also out. Out cold, because I fell asleep writing about speed walking.
In that light, Olympic poker would be a great substitute for walking, or maybe synchronized swimming, which is equally worthless, in my opinion.
Poker would be a cool event because it could potentially last the length of the Summer games. Announcers could periodically check in for grate hands, just as they do on TV now anyway. So, let’s have it. Summer Olympics poker for the win!
