    PRESS RELEASE: The Players Championship at The International, London, 21st-30th November 2010 Once again The International Club in London is raising the bar for UK tournament poker with The Players Championship (21st-30th November). Did you ever hear of a tournament where every player starts with 100k chips? Maybe at a $50k High Roller event, but not at a UK festival - until now! Yes, that's right, the buy-in for the Main Event of The Player's Championship (27th-30th November) is just £350+£30 and the starting stack is a massive 100k chips! Players are coming from across Europe, so we're having two Day 1s to accommodate a total of 240 runners. The 1st prize will be an estimated £25,000. It will be a 3-Day Event and players will begin with 500 BBs with a stepped 40 - 50 - 60 minute clock. There'll be so much post-flop play we’ll see five-bet bluffs, six-bet raises for information, and seven-bet laydowns. By the time we reach the final table - broadcast live over the Internet with expert commentators - we’ll have the biggest pots this side of the November Nine. We're also putting on a £200+£20 NLH Freezeout (24th-25th November) where players start with a huge 50,000 chips and a 30 then 40 minute clock. This 2-Day event is sure to be very popular in its own right, giving players an affordable chance to play deep stack poker. But The Players Championship is not just about Hold’Em. On the 25th-26th November our £200 Mixed Game event will be the world's first P.R.O.P.S. tournament. This event will appeal to adventurous recreational players as much as Dealers Choice regulars.

It’s a 25,000+25,000 double chance and all games will be played 6-max. The Players Championship takes place in the spacious environment of The International Club, where London plays poker!

    Omaha Hi/Lo

    in Poker

    Posted

    Owing to its frequently large pots, Omaha Hi/Lo (also called "Omaha High Low", “Omaha H/L”, “Omaha/8” or "Omaha 8-or-better ") has become a hugely popular game around the world. Each player in an Omaha Hi/Lo game is dealt four private cards ("hole cards") that belong only to that player. Five community cards are dealt face-up on the "board". All players use exactly two cards from their four hole cards in conjunction with exactly three cards from the board to make the best five-card poker hand possible. The pot is divided between the best hand for high and the best hand for low - hence the name, Omaha Hi/Lo. Omaha Hi/Lo is played with an "8-or-better" qualifier, which means that a hand must be at least an 8-7-6-5-4 low to be eligible to win the low portion of the pot. Types of Omaha Hi/Lo Games Omaha Hi/Lo can be played in the following formats:

    • Limit Omaha Hi/Lo - Specific betting limit applied in each game and on each round of betting.
    • Pot Limit Omaha Hi/Lo - Bets are limited to the amount of chips in the pot.
    • No Limit Omaha Hi/Lo - A player can bet all of the chips he has available.
    • Mixed Omaha Hi/Lo - The game alternates between rounds of Limit and Pot-Limit. The blinds are increased when the game switches from Pot-Limit to Limit, to ensure that the stake levels are consistent.
    Rules for Playing Omaha Hi/Lo dealer.jpgIn Omaha Hi/Lo, a marker called ‘the button’ or ‘the dealer button’ indicates which player is the nominal dealer for the current game. Before the game begins, the player immediately clockwise from the button posts the "small blind", the first forced bet. The player immediately clockwise from the small blind posts the "big blind", which is typically twice the size of the small blind, but the blinds can vary depending on the stakes and betting structure being played. In Limit games, the big blind is the same as the small bet, and the small blind is typically half the size of the big blind but may be larger depending on the stakes. For example, in a $2/$4 Limit game the small blind is $1 and the big blind is $2. In a $15/$30 Limit game, the small blind is $10 and the big blind is $15. In Pot Limit and No Limit games, the games are referred to by the size of their blinds (for example, a $1/$2 Omaha Hi/Lo game has a small blind of $1 and a big blind of $2). Now, each player receives their four hole cards. Betting action proceeds clockwise around the table, starting with the player ‘under the gun’ (immediately clockwise from the big blind). Player Betting Options In Omaha Hi/Lo, as with other forms of poker, the available actions are ‘fold’, ‘check’, ‘bet’, ‘call’ or ‘raise’. Exactly which options are available depends on the action taken by the previous players. Each poker player always has the option to fold, to discard their cards and give up any interest in the pot. If nobody has yet made a bet, then a player may either check (decline to bet, but keep their cards) or bet. If a player has bet, then subsequent players can fold, call or raise. To call is to match the amount the previous player has bet. To raise is to not only match the previous bet, but to also increase it. Pre-Flop After seeing his or her hole cards, each player now has the option to play his or her hand by calling or raising the big blind. The action begins to the left of the big blind, which is considered a ‘live’ bet on this round. That player has the option to fold, call or raise. For example, if the big blind was $2, it would cost $2 to call, or at least $4 to raise. Action then proceeds clockwise around the table. Note: The betting structure varies with different variations of the game. Explanations of the betting action in Limit Hold'em, No Limit Hold'em, and Pot Limit Hold'em can be found below. Betting continues on each betting round until all active players (who have not folded) have placed equal bets in the pot. The Flop After the first round of betting is complete, the "flop" is dealt face-up on the board. The flop is the first three community cards available to all active players. Betting begins with the active player immediately clockwise from the button. In Limit Omaha Hi/Lo, all bets and raises on the flop are in increments of the small bet (for example, $2 in a $2/$4 game). The Turn When betting action is completed for the flop round, the "turn" is dealt face-up on the board. The turn is the fourth community card in an Omaha Hi/Lo game. Play begins with the active player immediately clockwise from the button. In Limit Omaha Hi/Lo, bets and raises on the turn are in increments of the big bet (for example, $4 in a $2/$4 game). The River When betting action is completed for the turn round, the "river" is dealt face-up on the board. The river is the fifth and final community card in an Omaha Hi/Lo game. Betting begins with the active player immediately clockwise from the button. The Showdown If there is more than one remaining player when the final betting round is complete, the last person to bet or raise shows their cards, unless there was no bet on the final round in which case the player immediately clockwise from the button shows their cards first. The player with the best five-card hand for high wins half the pot, and the player with the best hand for low wins the other half. In all Omaha games, players must use two and only two of their four hole cards in combination with exactly three cards from the board. In the event of identical hands, the high and low shares of the pot will be equally divided between the players with the best hands. In the event that no hand qualifies for low (i.e. is an eight low or better), the best hand(s) for high wins the whole pot. After the pot is awarded, a new Omaha Hi/Lo game is ready to be played. The button now moves clockwise to the next player. Limit, Pot Limit, No Limit Omaha Hi/Lo Omaha Hi/Lo rules remain the same for Limit, No Limit and Pot Limit poker games, with a few exceptions:
    • Limit Omaha Hi/Lo Betting in Limit Omaha Hi/Lo is in pre-determined, structured amounts. Pre-flop and on the flop, all bets and raises are of the same amount as the big blind. On the turn and the river, the size of all bets and raises doubles. In Limit Omaha Hi/Lo, up to four bets are allowed per player during each betting round. This includes a (1) bet, (2) raise, (3) re-raise, and (4) cap (final raise).
    • Pot Limit Omaha Hi/Lo The minimum bet in Pot Limit Omaha Hi/Lo is the same as the size of the big blind, but players can always bet up to the size of the pot. Minimum raise: The raise amount must be at least as much as any previous bet or raise in the same round. As an example, if the first player to act bets $5 then the second player must raise a minimum of $5 (total bet of $10). Maximum raise: The size of the pot, which is defined as the total of the active pot, plus all bets on the table, plus the amount the active player must first call before raising. Example: If the size of the pot is $100, and there is no previous action on a particular betting round, a player may bet a maximum of $100. After that bet, the action moves to the next player clockwise. That player can either fold, call $100, or raise any amount between the minimum ($100 more) and the maximum. The maximum bet in this case is $400 - the raiser would first call $100, bringing the pot size to $300, and then raise $300 more, making a total bet of $400. In Pot Limit Omaha Hi/Lo, there is no ‘cap’ on the number of raises allowed.
    • No Limit Omaha Hi/Lo The minimum bet in No Limit Omaha Hi/Lo is the same as the size of the big blind, but players can always bet as much more as they want, up to all of their chips. Minimum raise: In No Limit Omaha Hi/Lo, the raise amount must be at least as much as the previous bet or raise in the same round. As an example, if the first player to act bets $5 then the second player must raise a minimum of $5 (total bet of $10). Maximum raise: The size of your stack (your chips on the table). In No Limit Omaha Hi/Lo, there is no ‘cap’ on the number of raises allowed.

    Re: Blackpool GUKPT, PL Staking Fund - 9 Free Seats - Players Anounced - 11/12 Nov well done to Miss Daisy for cashing :clap:clap:clap i was card dead pretty much the whole game,unable to do anything as every hand was pretty much raised preflop,didnt help with loose (i will play anything) sitting next to Staffy,and both guys to his left being quite aggressive at the times i had a half decent hand. went down to about 3k when i was chasing a flush,straight and hitting bottom pair,i made a mistake by not betting out on the river as this would have got him to fold as he had me on an over card to his 9`s...got back up with 7/7 against loose`s A/10 and both him and young lad folded to my BB KK (the lad having QQ) kept me afloat. eventually out 51st ish when i get QQ in the BB but the all in before me had KK.......c`est la vie. it was good to see the usual suspects and meet Glenhop and Divits. see you all in 2 weeks and thanks for the opportunity of playing :ok

    The River Card Face Up

    in Poker

    Posted

    There is a 5/10 NLH cash game. The flop and the turn card are dealt correctly and bets are completed. The dealer discards the burn card to deal the river card but the river card is face up in the deck. Does this river card go? Is it a foul deck? How would you rule?

    The Pros and Cons of Being Active Early

    in Poker

    Posted

    by Aaron Bartley Deciding how active you want to be at the beginning of a tournament depends heavily on what type of tournament you’re playing in. If it’s a standard Sit & Go, I always recommend playing tight and conserving chips early. If it’s a Multi-Table Tournament or a Shootout Tournament then you should consider a more active style in the early phase. Part of the goal in doing this is to accumulate chips. But another part of the goal is to establish an image that will help get you chips later. It can be a rewarding way to play, but you need to understand that there’s also a downside to the image this type of play will create. When you put constant pressure on other players, it’s eventually going to make them fight back. You don’t have to raise large amounts and you don’t have to get involved in huge pots, but by raising with a lot of hands, your opponents are going to play back at you with a wider and wider range of hands. They’re going to start calling and three-betting with more marginal hands, and that’s going to open them up and make them susceptible to giving you their chips more often. If you’re looking to accumulate chips, you don’t want your table locked down in super-tight mode. You don’t want to have to grind out a few chips every orbit – you want to get into your opponents’ heads and provoke them into spewing chips. You’ll find that once one player at the table does it, it tends to have a domino effect and lead other people to start making mistakes. The downside, however, is that your bluffs won’t work very often, and that’s something you have to be aware of. For example, let’s say I’ve been playing a lot of pots and developed a loose image in a six-handed table, and I’m dealt A-Q suited under the gun. That’s a good hand at a full table, and it’s even better six-handed. So I make a pot-sized raise, and the big blind calls. The flop is J-10-6, which isn’t exactly a hit for me, but it isn’t a total miss; I have a straight draw and two over cards. I’m going to make a normal continuation bet and I figure my opponent can’t call me without a decent hand. In this case, I bet, he calls and the turn is a three, so I decide to give it one more shot and raise my bet a little bit because I want him to fold. Instead, he calls. A four now falls on the river. I didn’t hit anything and he’s clearly shown that he’s ready to call anything; I can’t expect to bet him off the hand. In my mind, I’m putting him on a hand possibly as weak as 10-2, but I don’t think I can get him to lay that down, so I check, give up the pot and he wins with 6-7. Of course I’m going to be a little frustrated to learn that he called twice with third pair. He had to have put me on A-K or A-Q or thought I was raising under the gun with rags and, the truth is, people will begin to think that way because I’ve raised a lot of pots. Because of this, people are going to start calling me extremely light. In the short-term, that can be a bad thing; but in the long-term, it should be good. If the same hand happens later but I have A-J or Aces or Kings, or even some trash hand that connects, I’m going to get paid off. This is why the positives of playing an active style early ultimately outweigh the negatives. Even if you lose a pot because your image keeps people hanging around, it can set you up to win an even bigger pot later on.

    Short Stack Management

    in Poker

    Posted

    taken from THM In tournament poker you are always aiming to build a big chip stack which you can use to dominate your table. Your secondary goal is to have a least an average stack so that you are not vulnerable. In reality you will often find yourself 'short-stacked' and will need to know how best to play it to maximise your chances of survival. Short stack management. Do not limp, or enter pots when you will have to back off for a raise. Attack stacks where the damage you can do is significant. Only call all-in with a very strong hand, or occasionally when very low with a 'gambling hand' in a multi-way pot where you can get yourself a big stack if you get lucky. Psychology is very important. Some players have such a strong table presence that they are still able to play a short stack as if it were medium/big. Others are afraid of doubling them up. Look to get maximum value when going all-in: If you are 'under the gun' and have less than about five times the big blind consider moving in with almost any hand as you will take the blinds if they pass and will probably have to defend your blind anyway with less equity in a win. Similarly, if a bigger stack raises in front of you when you are in this chip position, you can call knowing you have the protection of other players not wanting to take on the genuine hand that came in before you. If someone does re-raise then the first raiser may pass, meaning you are still up against only one hand and have more value in the pot. Similarly again: If a lot of limpers have entered a pot and been raised from late position you may consider calling behind the raiser knowing that you are likely to get heads up with a lot of equity in the pot. Remember, tournaments are frequently won by someone who came back from 'a chip and a chair'. Never give up. Carry on playing poker.
