Chapter 1 Intro

Welcome to my first poker blog. I have decided to write this, as a way of reinforcing and clarifying ideas I have had over the last 5 years of playing succesful live poker in casinos across the country. I also wish to share my experience and knowledge with my friends if they care to read.

This blog is not written with the requirement of a high level of understanding of all the terms and casino slang associated with poker , however a general understanding of how the game is supposed to be played is assumed.

I will cover a variety of skills and strategies that help me to consistantly "cash" (place in a money position) and frequently win poker tournaments with a buy in of under 100 pound.

I often get asked what would i do if i got dealt 7 2, and I can never answer this question to peoples satisfaction because there is no set way to play any hand in this game the situation position and people you play with determine everything. The first few chapters of this blog will explain some key concepts concerning position and the stage of the tournament and how playing hands should be affected. The next few chapters will be about how to manipulate people into making the wrong decisions and subconsciously scream their holdings at you giving you obvious tells whether it is a good time to bluff or get the hell outa dodge. At the time of writing this i also have several more chapters planned on how to put people in uncomfortable situations where they have a decisions to make which even the best players would roll over and donate.

Thank you for reading the introduction chapter.
