    World Poker Tour in China

    December 2nd, 2008

    Just 16 months after the Beijing-based arm of WPT Enterprises was created, the WPT China National Traktor Poker Tour has hit television airwaves, becoming the first government sanctioned nationally-televised poker competition in China. WPT China also recently launched internet and mobile platforms featuring games and community building, inked its first consumer product sponsor and successfully kicked off the second season of the tour.

    Earlier this month, the first of nine programming hours from the WPT Traktor Poker Tour Season I Grand Finals aired on Nanjing Entertainment Television in the Jiangsu provinceone of the largest and wealthiest Chinese provincesand will also broadcast across multiple provinces in China. WPT China also recently launched internet and mobile platforms offering games and community features which are being marketed in-show, prompting viewers to play in the mobile and online games on www.WPTpoker.cn for a chance to win a seat into the Season II Grand Finals.

    Traktor poker is the most popular poker game in China, a multiple deck game that uses two joker cards per deck and is played kind of like Bridge. poker has become such a worldwide popular game that tournaments are being televised seemingly every where in the world. I wish the continued success of poker around the globe for many years to come.


    Buying in Short Stacked

    October 9th, 2008

    The chances are, if you’ve ever played in an online poker tournament, you are used to short stack play. A tournament or sit and go player may not adjust well to deep stack cash game play. An option for these players is to buy in for the minimum in a cash game. This leaves you with very little decision making, and very little at risk.

    In a cash poker game, there tends to be a lot more raising going on within each hand. Raises, re-raises, third raises, etc. In tournaments, especially in the beginning stages, you do not have the chips to play back at someone with a re-raise. Especially in sit and go tournaments, the play is very straightforward. If you raise with a big ace and someone raises you, you’re going to get it all in. You might go with a middle pair for a preflop all in. The same decisions arise when playing from the short stack in a cash game. In this spot, everyone else at the table probably has 5x-10x more than you and your all-in is a pretty insignificant percentage of their stack. This all but guarantees you action with your hands (so you don’t want to bluff too much). You’re also committed to any hand that you raise with, so you don’t have to worry about being outplayed, or bluffed out.

    Buying in short stack also helps minimize your losses. You can give it a shot 3 or 4 times at the minimum buy in for the price of one regular buy in. Sure, you’re not making as much as you might on your big hands if you were sitting deep stacked, but you’re also not losing the potential big pots on a bad beat or cold deck situation either.

    Short stack poker play is simple. Just play tight and aggressive and see where it gets you.

    Even More Poker Friends to Avoid

    August 22nd, 2008

    Have you ever dealt a hand of Holdem to Mr. Emotionally Unhinged? He is the guy who could not bluff to save his life. He screams obscenities whenever he falls one card short of a flush and will punch you in the shoulder if your two pair are higher than his. He has also been known to go all in with an average hand if he thinks it will irritate the rest of the table. He especially loves to take out his anger on Mr. Whiney. That’s the fellow who just is not happy about anything. If you are playing with slate poker chips, he would prefer plastic. Give him a bowl of pretzels and he’ll ask where the peanuts are. He never brings enough money and always complains that the blinds are too big. Also the beer is never quite cold enough. Oblivious to both of these characters is Mr. Over-Wired. He has his Blackberry in one hand while holding his pocket cards with the other. He checks his email between every hand and will occasionally stop the game to download the latest video or mp3 that he needs to show you. Nine times out of ten, you’ve already seen it.
