When you have a strong hand, you want to get the most of it – so you don’t want to scare your opponents out of the pot. In this case, you call any bets that was made before you – letting the people behind you to make a raise. If they raise, you also call, and it’s good if you make them think you don’t like what you do. If nobody bets, you simply check. However when you get to the river, you turn on aggression. By that time, it’s likely some of your opponents are already invested in the pot, and it’s very much possible they would call your bets. So, when you are sure your cards are strong, you don’t want to make huge bets and raises immediately – wait till the river and then show aggression. |

When playing against skilled players, you don’t want to be aggressive immediately. Otherwise they will eliminate you much faster than you would expect it. In the beginning you want to play only legitimately strong hands. Of course you will not play in many hands that way, but poker is a marathon, not a sprint. Soon your opponents will realize that you are in the pot only when you have the nuts, or something close to it. Now you can use it to your advantage and start bluffing. When your opponents understand what you do, you can switch back to playing only strong cards. The key is to zig when they are zagging. |

Let's assume you hold Ah and 5h, and the flop comes as 10h 2s 2d. You need two more cards to hit your flush. The deck has a total of 13 hearts, which means you have 10 outs to get your flush. At this moment you are aware of 5 cards (your cards and the cards you see on the flop). In order to calculate your chance of hitting your flush, you would need to divide 10 by 47. This will give you a number of .21. Then assume that the turn goes your way, and another heart appears on the table. Now you would need to divide 9 (the number of outs you have) by 46 (the number of cards unknown to you). This equals .20. Then multiply .21 by .20. You will receive .042 – then move the decimal back two places and put a percent symbol next to the number. Now you see that you have a 4.2% chance of hitting your flush. The best decision now is to fold. |

So does a plumber have an unfair advantage when he uses a wrench to stop a stubborn leak? Well perhaps the leak thinks so, but in reality the tradesman is just using the proper tool of the trade to solve a problem. People might look a little sideways at the gentleman if he tried to stop the leak by swearing at it using cream cheese to stop the flow of water. In short, we expect people to use the tools available to them in order to be good at their jobs. Poker odds calculators are a relatively new wrinkle that has been added to the landscape of the online poker world.

We live in a very big world with lots of stuff in it. Hostess fruit pies come in a number of different flavors, not just cherry, while we can order our hamburgers with literally dozens of different kinds of cheese on them. Even when it comes to something as anonymously indispensable as toilet tissue our choices range from pillow soft, to benignly unremarkable, to something that feels like sandpaper. With this in mind, what sort of sense does it make to play Texas Holdem and only Texas Holdem?

Let’s say you have just concluded the post flop betting and the turn is looming. There are still four people hanging around in the hand. This is not the time to test your bluffing skills. In the later betting rounds bluffing into multi-way pot is generally a worthless endeavor. You are not going to scare everyone out of the pot with your bluff, and whoever has the best hand will probably be reluctant to give up their cards.
