Everywhere you go you hear the tale. Some guy got runner runner and took someone else out. Some guy called all in with a nut flush draw and hit. Somebodies full house got beat by a bigger full house. Everybody remembers their bad beats, it seems in this day and age everywhere you go you can hear a tale of wondrous luck and misfortune. For some reason, as humans, we tend to remember the bad beats over the good ones. I have tried to concentrate this blog more on strategies and past "good" experiences, if for nothing more then to remind myself that playing no limit hold em poker does have its extreme ups.

Flopping a made hand can be one of the most lucrative plays in No-Limit Texas Hold Em poker. Depending on your table position should depend on what your next action should be.

Suppose you hold JQo (Jack, Queen, Offsuit) in the small blind position and you see the flop four handed leaving 3 more actions behind you on the flop. Lets say the flop comes 9, 10, King (rainbow). Very few people are going to be strong on this flop. Most of the people at the table will be on a straight draw or a high card like someone in late position calling with an AK.

Looks like I have another action packed weekend. My friends and I are all getting together Saturday night to have a little poker tournament. Well, actuaclly it was little to start but now it looks like it is going to be huge! It always happens this way, i tell a couple friends, they tell a couple friends and it ends up being a party.
