Good Evening Guys and Ghouls ........ My name is Risky ... you've seen me on the tables as: xxxRISKYxxx

Once upon a time in a land far far away... oops! No, that was another story!

On July 18th 2007 I was playing in a freeroll tourney and this very nice lady sat at the table with me � �Fluffy� was her name. We had a very pleasant conversation and she told me that I should check out a site called railbirds.com. So I checked it out and became a member that very same day.

Fluffy and I became very good friends � we still are � and I started meeting alot of her friends out on the RB tables. ...

Bubble bashing

Playing the bubble in a sit&go is what separates a losing player from a winning one

By Eric Dickson

September 2008

In this quiz we're going to examine the awkward situation of playing on the bubble with a short stack. As the short-stack, you generally need, rather desperately, to double-up. At the same time, you must exercise some care so as not to be eliminated by making poor decisions out of this desperation.

The all-in move is almost always a powerful one, but in a cash game, the conditions must be right

The �all-in� move may be an integral part of today�s no-limit hold�em game, but its correct usage is not always employed

How Big a Bankroll?

Team Full Tilt

January 16, 2006

"Poker is a tough business," says Erik Seidel. "You can go through long streaks when you don't win anything." When things go badly, when you can't seem to cash in a tournament or win a significant pot in a cash game, you come to understand the importance of maintaining an adequate bankroll.

Just how big should your bankroll be? How much money do you need to ensure that a bad run won't put you on ...

Sit N Go Poker Made Easy

Howard Lederer

March 14, 2005

The Sit N Go (SNG) is online poker's great gift to the aspiring tournament player. Prior to the Sit And Go SNG, final table experience was hard to come by. You could enter a dozen multi-table tournaments and never find yourself at a final table. Or you could make one or two, only to get knocked out in 8th or 9th place. Adapting to an ever-diminishing number of players at a single table is a crucial skill in tournament ...

Steve Badger is fond of saying that if you're a losing player, you need an infinite bankroll. If you follow the No Limit SNG Strategy in this article, it's unlikely you'll be a losing player. But you still need enough of a bankroll to avoid what they call risk of ruin, which is the chance that you'll catch a losing streak that will wipe out your bankroll before you can win enough to catch back up to your positive expectation.

The multi-table tournament represents probably the most popular and definitely most televised style of poker play. The World Series of Poker and the World Poker Tour, among many others come immediately to mind. The structure of these tournaments is quite simple. For a �buy in,� or set amount, players are entered into the tournament. Every player is then given the same number of chips and seated at as many tables as are necessary, and the elimination begins. ...
