Texas Holdem Submitted Articles

This page is for reader submitted stuff: articles, tips etc. So far I have put everything in the Q&A section, but from now on the Q&A is going to be purely about just Questions & Answers. As you can see, I now started to forfill my earlier promise of reorganizing the info. If you have an article you want to share, just send it to this address: webmaster@learn-texas-holdem.com, with the subject “Article Submission”. And if you have a site and want credit for the article then include that in the text.

Also, if you would like to, I could put up your email address so that other readers can get in touch with you to further discuss the matter. But you have to explicitly tell me in the mail that you want me to put out your email and I don’t take any responsibility whatsoever for any possible misuse of your email.

  • Playing Ultra-Low-Stake Single Table Tournaments Online
    Article Sent in by reader:

    I have been playing poker online for about six months, mainly no-limit hold em, 9 or 10 seat STTs for small stakes from 10c to $2 per tourney, where the top three places payout. I don't have a huge bankroll and I'm not a gambler at heart. I only want to play poker to win money, however small an amount.

    After a while playing at this level a few things became obvious and I started to make steady, if unspectacular profits. If it's OK with you I'd like to share some of my observations with your readers.

  • No Limit Hold'em Beginner Advice
    The following article on No Limit Holdem was submitted by Chuck:
    I'm a relatively new player. I've been playing online for real money for about 6 months now. I usually play no-limit hold'em at the $100NL tables at Empire/Party Poker. Although I've only been playing for a short time, there are days when I have looked at 500-1,000 hands a day. I found my early attempts at limit hold'em to be frustrating because intuitively I didn't feel I had enough control over the betting and raising part of the game. At low-limit online tables, people seemed to just call down everything.
  • Overplaying Hands
    Question: I'm still a beginning poker player. Texas Hold'em is my game of choice, and I tend to play home games mostly (no-limit tournaments if possible). Having a weekly game with predominantly the same players presents some issues. Playing against the same people regularly, you tend to learn a bit more about the way they play than you would just watching 15 min at an online table, or sitting down to a game in a casino.
  • Fun Things To Try, NL Home Tourney
    Question: I just wanted to drop a note an mention that we play a few twists once in awhile in our home games. I don't like my friends to feel as if they were cheated so I attempt offer different ways to win part, if not all of their buy-in back even if they don't place high enough.

  • Quick Ways To Calculate Odds
    One of the things that probably keeps players from improving is the inability to calculate pot odds on the spot. I mean, they've got all that math flying around in their heads, dividing x by some God-awful number like 47 or 46 and trying to come up with a fraction or a percent that can be compared to the amount that they're being asked to bet by some increasingly impatient opponents versus the pot, which is the same as it's been on the flop for the last eight hands because everybody keeps limping in, et cetera... So this should make things easier. I tried to make things as simple as possible.
