If you are going through an especially long losing streak, one last weeks or even months where seemingly every card doesn’t go your way and your opponents hit every draw, it can be difficult to remain focused.

This can obviously affect your play and turn small losing streaks into long ones. If you try to play more loosely and make calls you normally wouldn’t in order to turn around your losing streak, then it will end up only making it worse.

It’s very difficult for even the best of poker players to remain focused and on their game during a losing streak. That’s why I recommend that if you cannot do so, to take a short break from the game. Don’t go to a card room, casino, or play any poker room for a week or two. You will come back to the game refreshed and probably with a better mind to play than if you continued to play during the losing streak. Sometimes you just need to take a step back.

Now the premise of the above described strategy is still a viable strategy in many of the lesser populated sites where there aren’t constant SnGs going on and you have an edge simply because of experience. But on those site where you have a constant stream of good players playing a lot of online poker SnGs on a regular basis, you have to learn to adapt, as is always the rule for good poker.

So here are some new concepts that should help you stay a bit ahead of the pack in the evolution that is the SnG. Open your positional range. Before the DC video, you could be a very passive early game player and be excessively aggressive in the end game. Time to change that. From my recent games at the 5-10 dollar levels, it seems that a more aggressive approach is much more profitable now. Consider raising more on the button and hijack positions with more marginal hands such as suited Jacks and better. Play your pocket pairs down to 99 and don’t give up on your pocket 9s especially if you get a dry board.

One other thing that’s been incredibly effective is improper betsizing. Since more people are becoming privy to betsizing and what it means, sometimes I’ll grossly overbet my monster pocket pairs, or if I hit the flop hard. This creates some confusion, especially when you’ve been playing a relatively “normal” game throughout the tournament. The other betting technique is the ultimate pot builder in the turbo SnGs. Minbetting is so frustrating to players who pride themselves on proper strategy, sometimes you can induce them into a pot with a worse hand just because they’re frustrated at your “lack of skill.” Good luck and happy hunting.

No use putting it off, buy your own the specialized at any number of bowling pro shops in your city. You’ll notice a difference with your own stuff. It’s no joke, have your personal ball drilled, and you can make more of your practice time. A carefully fitted bowling ball can make a substantial improvement in your game. The same goes for enjoying quality bowling shoes that don’t stink like desanitizer

After you went ahead and bought the right bowling ball and shoes, listen to the number two bowling tip: taking aim. When you hold the ball, don’t actually aim for your actual target, the pins. Aim for the the markings like a sight on a firearm. What’s the point? It’s less difficult to hit a an aid marker that is closer. For it to work right, include it as part of your routine to line-up at the precise location on the wood on every attempt. Roll from the same place, in the same way and you can fine-tune your accuracy and angle.

As for curves, to achieve specific action on the pins? It is the third-most essential bowler tip. The secret is the ball type. Actually, professional bowlers travel with two or three bowling balls to pull off aggressive hooks, depending on the lane. Just a bit of caution: begginers should keep it simple, and don’t get a ball that is too heavy for you. A lot of semi-pro bowlers invest heavily in bowling balls with synthetic materials. Steer clear of them, because these special-made balls often make even decent pros seem a fool. That’s our first 3 bowling tips. I’ll be back with another 3 soon.

Blinds are 1000/2000. I have 20,000 chips, which is only 10 big blinds. I’m not folding this hand ever.

2 players limp into the pot. With blinds and antes there is already close to 10,000 chips in the middle at this point. I automatically shove all-in for my 20,000.

The player directly to my left insta-calls my all-in. He has 25,000 chips, so this is a big call for him.

Great, I’ve just shoved into a monster pair and I have no chance in winning now. Super.

But no, I see in the chat box, the online poker player who has called my bet has written out the word “Dammit”. While other players are still folding, I wonder if he is joking or not. Then he writes, “I clicked the wrong button.” Could this be? This could work out amazingly. Everyone else folds and he flips over 9h 10h.

This is good news. He’s got a very tricky hand, but I am the clear favorite. The flop comes: J 7 8 all diamonds

He flops the straight, but I have the diamond redraw. Come on! Any diamond! Blank. Blank. I have learned a new lesson. People can make mistakes and beat me.

One of the most controversial and often most frustrating hands to play in all of Texas Holdem, online or at your local home game, is the small pair. It’s hard to not want to see a flop with most any paired hole cards, in the idea that if you hit your three of a kind you’ll likely win a nice pot. It’s a pretty awful feeling, too, to have to fold those pairs before the flop comes out only to see that third of your set sitting right out on the board, and then a ton of action that you’re missing out on.

Though most of the time, in fact almost a little more than one out of 8 times, those pairs are going to miss and unless you can move your opponent off his hand, you are just tossing away little chunks of money.

So first off, what is a small pair? The definition obviously includes deuces up to sixes, while 7’s up to 10’s are usually considered middle pairs. Though for the sake of argument, these ‘middle pairs’ often tend to end up working in the same way as their smaller brethren, where if you don’t make that set on the flop and there’s any amount of betting, you’re probably going to be gone.

For this reason, it often seems beneficial, particularly in cash game poker, to play pairs all the way up to 10’s, and maybe even Jacks, widely considered the hardest pair to play in all of poker, carefully preflop, trying to invest as little as possible before you commit a lot of money to the pot. This is especially true at tables where the action is really loose and you’ll be forced to dump those pairs a lot of the time when the usual overcards come down, and when you do hit your hand you can go to town and go after all that loose money out there. Meanwhile, like in other kind of monetary venturing, you keep your investment to a minimum before you know where you stand.

The story changes a bit in a tournament situation where blinds and antes are involved, but for the most part this kind of slow pair poker play seems to tend to be the most profitable in the long run.
