In the present scenario it is common to see poker table at homes. People tend to enjoy poker right at their home either with friends or family members and love to play the game for fun. If you are also planning to go about buying one then here is a brief guide which can help you making your decision. As a potential buyer you will me amazed at the fact that there are as many poker tables as the variants of the game. For example a table meant for playing Texas Hold ‘Em poker will be much different from the Razz poker table.

As a wise buyer one should always narrow down their categories of the poker tables and choose one which they enjoy the most. The standard Octagon table is always a good bet and when placing the table in the room, proper care should be takes that the table is neither is a too dim nor in a too bright section to give the ambience of a casino. One can go for online shopping and avail attractive discount.

Thus it is always a good option to buy a poker table and enjoy the fun right at your home – looking like Doyle Brunson at a REAL poker table!

Yesterday I lost a big chunk of my bankroll in a rollercoaster I can only describe as sick…

Flopped quad tens to get rivered by Quad kings (all the money went in on the turn, obv nothing he could do — but still), made a straight flush and LOST against the higher straight flush and flopped a set of sixes only to get beat by a set of aces that decided to smoothcall pre-flop…

BAH

What does this mean? This means Sam Farha will become a SUPERSTAR amongst SUPERSTARS. He is by far the best Pot Limit Omaha player in the world and there is no way he won’t be a star in the game. His aggressive style will work even better in Omaha and the cameras love Sammy.

Bring it on — GSN!

Am I overplaying KK pre-flop? Is it even possible to overplay KK pre-flop? I feel sick though, was a good winning session if I hadn’t ran into AA on the last hand of the night for the second time…

Bah!

I suggest reading both as they’re both really excellent!

• Why Poker is So Popular?

I can help though –found a nice guide on Pai Gow Poker Strategy at Mollis’ Poker Blog.

Good luck losing your money a little slower! :p

I’ve been losing. I usually average one or two losing sessions a week, but over the month of April I’ve only had like 5 or 6 winning sessions. Only one big one, and 4 BIG losing sessions, losing well over 5 buy-ins.

It looks like I’ve hit a fork in the road in my life as a poker player, and it seems like for the first time ever I’ll be moving down the limits to allow my bankroll to (hopefully) recover.

It’s a painful thing to do, but no more $5/$10 for me for a couple months, I’m afraid.

Please pray for me. I need assistance from Up There.
