Many people who have taken up the game of poker after seeing players win millions on television dream of someday doing the same thing themselves. They fantasize about leaving their $3/$6 limit online holdem game far behind and sitting with celebrities and pros who risk hundreds of dollars on every turn of a card.

Playing at higher stakes than you are used to can be exciting; it will certainly generate more rake and rakeback, but it can also be dangerous. The rewards are greater, but so is the possibility that your bankroll will be completely wiped out. If this happens, you may be completely out of action or find yourself in a game much lower than you are used to, where it may be difficult for you to focus and play well.

Setting Yourself up for High Stakes Poker

Small Steps

You don’t want to automatically jump from playing free texas holdem to $2/$4 limit, or from $2/$4 limit to a $15/$30 no-limit game, no matter how badly you are beating the first game. Whether you play limit, no-limit or pot-limit, you should start at the lowest level where the money is still meaningful and Read More »

Lately I have been getting into the 6-man SNG’s, both regular and turbos.  If you are a fan of regular SNG’s but don’t  like how long they take (especially on Stars), you may want to look into the 6-mans or the Turbos.

You have to make some serious adjustments when making the move to this different style of game.

Pre flop stantards aren’t quite as strict, as you can open up your starting hand requirements due to the fact that there are less players at the table. 

Your play will be less based on cards, and more based on the reads you have on your opponents because you will be raising more hands than you would in a full game.  This will tend to put you in more marginal situations that you will have to navigate through more often.

Solid player reads, and good post-flop play are 2 keys to beating the shorthanded SNG’s online.

SNG’s are incredibly poular these days, since the buy in’s span from $.10 all the way up to $1000+.  The reason they are so popular is that they are so fun.  That is exactly what about 90% of the people who play SNG’s are playing for — FUN.

This allows good players to take advantage of these ‘for fun’ players, by exploiting all of their weaknesses, and relieving them of their chips.  SNG’s have changed recently, however.  All the real suckers that these tournaments used to be FILLED with (think Party Poker circa 2002), seem to have gone broke.

There is a new breed of player in the SNG’s running today.  This means that a revised strategy is necessary in order to beat them, and get in the money as much as possible.

If you are stuck with SNG’s, or even if you aren’t — do yourself a favor and enter your name and email in the form on this page.  You will discover, for free, how the new breed of SNG players can be exploited equalling your bankroll growing faster than ever!  The worst information is no information.

Good Luck At The Tables

I just wanted to thank the folks at deipoker for continuously ripping off mine, and many other site owners’ content on a daily basis.

You can check it out on their SPAM site, as they consistently scrape the content of this and other Poker information sites. It’s good to know that the hard work that gets put into setting up and maintaining an online poker strategy site can be used to help others who like to steal content.

I have asked repeatedly for the site to stop ripping off the articles posted here on Poker-Speak.com, to no avail. So to all the deipoker readers out there, please realize that the content you are reading is stolen. It is stolen from hard-working Poker site owners.

Thanks deipoker–for ripping us all off.
