CRACKING POKER

            
                   ALL YOU NEED IS A STRATEGY AND LADY LUCK BY YOUR SIDE


As a pro, you're not constantly attacking the weak players hand after hand after hand. If you are, you're guaranteed to go broke. Instead, you sit and wait. And wait. And wait and wait and wait some more. And finally, when you get a decent hand, you strike and win your nicely sized pot.
Then you go back to waiting.

It's a long, grinding game of patience and attrition. And that's because it's all about tediously waiting for the percentages to line up in your favor -- successful poker players only play about 20 percent of the hands they're dealt.  That's right -- 80 percent of the time, they're spectators. And, they know exactly what percentage of hands they're playing, because this is the type of minutiae they keep track of. People think that poker is all about reading facial expressions, but it's actually all about math. In fact, many poker pros -- especially the online players -- are outright stats junkies, entering the details of every single session into analysis programs to calculate their overall win rate and help them fix any holes in their games.

If you're fascinated by high-stakes poker players, odds are it's from watching them on TV in those huge multimillion-dollar tournaments (or, you know, Casino Royale). That's what everyone daydreams himself doing, but the first thing to understand is that those guys on TV are the Kobe Bryants and Tom Bradys of the poker world. And Kobe has decades of slow, dedicated, boring practice behind him, as well as millions of sit-ups and bench presses and endless miles around the track.

It's a pretty terrible life.

 

It's easy to forget that aspect of poker, because the whole point of gambling is that supposedly anybody can hit a lucky streak at any time and win big. That's what draws crowds of tourists to Vegas every year. Hell, maybe you're secretly a genius at it, like Rain Man at the blackjack table. And in fact, rank amateurs have made it all the way to the final table of the World Series of Poker, cashing in a nice million-dollar paycheck (like the ridiculously-named Chris Moneymaker).

Even the superstars don't make a living stroking their egos and taking on the other superstars. They make their living beating up on the wannabe pros dumb enough to take them on. Look at it this way: If Kobe's only source of income came from betting his own money in a game of HORSE, do you think he'd take on LeBron? Remember, this isn't about winning a trophy and a ring -- in poker, if you don't win, you don't get paid. Period.

Some would argue this would actually improve basketball.

 

So if you want to make money, you simply have to seek out players you know you can consistently beat. Otherwise, the Peter Principle will destroy you. That's the theory that everyone in a field gets promoted to his own level of incompetence. So in poker, let's say you're able to win at a certain betting limit. So, you move up to the next higher limit, where the players will be that much better. And you keep doing this until you get to a limit where you're now the sucker at the table. And then you go broke.

 

 

 

 

Is good to know your poker odds but when you are playing a live tournament, those odds don't mean shit. You always see those donkeys getting lucky while you are scratching your head and figuring out what went wrong. I've been through this road already three times and now I keep getting beat with pocket 5's when I raised with AK, 4X bet,(ante 1k/5k/10k), I made the right raised at the right time, got all players out but there was always one player that doesn't  want to fold his pocket 5's. I had left 120k in chips and he decides to push me all in. I do have AK unsuited, the only thing i can put him on is a pocket or AK. As I call his all in, I was shock to see someone again making an all in with a small pockets and gettting lucky with it. On tv you see a poker pro going all in with AK while another player call with his pocket QQ's and then the flop is A-9-8. That only happens on TV but they don't show you how this so call poker pro  had been grinding his ass for the past 9 hours. He got far because of his strategy, grinding power  and a lucky streak. I will be writing a book soon and i will teach and show you what it takes to get to any poker tournament final table as long as you follow by step by step strategy. My strategy is so simple to follow and you must stick to it until you get to the final table. My strategedy can be apply to any tournament or cash game and you will see results once you start using it. I had apply this strategy to poker pro wannabes and tight players. As soon as I come out of my strategy, I start bleeding precious chips and then I go back to it and suddenly I'm up again. Poker is all about using a strategy that works and 75% luck.
