Poker Book Review: Anthony Holden's' Holden on Hold'em '|

Anthony Holden, a British journalist and author, who are already books about the royal family, classical music and Shakespeare have been published already made in 1990 a name in poker literature, as it is partly autobiographical book Big Deal: Confessions of a Professional Poker Players released. The book describes Holden's years of experience as a poker pro to live a period in which he is mainly due to its placement at the WSOP Main Events 1988 and 1989 show did. Shortly before the end of his book Big Deal, he writes that he is in this year has even managed to play profitably, although he eventually but came to see that the life of a PokerPros nothing for him and he would rather continue playing as an amateur.
Nearly two decades later, Holden is trying with his new book vault between the amateur and to make PokerPro. In his latest book, Holden on Hold'em, he gives as a poker pro up to half of the book, strategy tips and explains how you should play poker. In the other half of the book we find Holden back in the role of Amateurs, which is about the game other players for some great poker events of the year 2006-2007 and reported on some not directly part of the poker things received. Overall, Holden on Hold'em is perhaps not as entertaining as Big Deal, Holden presents his readers in his new book, however, some interesting views, which included both for amateurs as well as poker pros should be interesting.
Following the publication of Big Deal, took Holden back to its regular Tuesday night game in part, in which two other writers played poker (Al Alvarez and David Spaniards). He is also available in the following years, every now and again participated in the WSOP and published in 2007, a continuation of Big Deal, which the name of Bigger Deal and contributed to the poker scene during the poker boom in the years 2005/2006 employed.
Holden explains in the preface of Holden on Hold'em, which he had already begun to Bigger Deal to work as a publisher he received the offer "a beginner guide to poker" to produce. He accepted the offer and wrote a book with the title All In, whereupon it to the publisher of Bigger Deal called a "bigger and better edition" of this strategy guide to write. And already was the foundation for his latest book, "Holden on Hold'em" activity.
The book is divided into three parts. In the first part of the "Basics", you will find two chapters, the first chapter presents a brief history of the holdem, and in other chapters simply explains how the game is played, but this chapter primarily aimed at readers who previously never played holdem poker. In the short history of holdem he portrays the meteoric rise of a game, which earlier in the 50'er and 60's almost exclusively "street player" played in Texas, then in Las Vegas was introduced, the Internet was becoming very popular and from a certain date regularly on TV was shown. Holden recommends experienced players in the second chapter to skip, even though in this chapter is an interesting list of slang terms for certain card combinations can be found.
The second part of "How to Play Better – And Win" is a strategy guide in what some readers Holden holdem instructions presented in order to successfully and profitably Holdem Poker game. The chapter begins with a lengthy explanation of the concept of "EV" (expected value) and then a series of recommendations in relation to the pre-flop and post-flop game. Then he goes to the different types of players to whom you could meet. These first three chapters of the second part usually recommend tight-aggressive play, which is not really innovative, even though the tips in these chapters all beginners a good starting point offer. In sub-chapters, Holden goes to Limit Games, Pot-Limit games and tournaments that he also considerations in relation to online and live poker.
In the strategy department of this book explains the concepts Holden very understandable. For advanced players or fans from other Holden books, these chapters are less entertaining than the rest of the book, which is apparent with the history of holdem's and the life "on the Road" employs.
The third part presents its readers with Holden five chapters in which he has different EPT events from the third EPT Season (2006) reported. Holden was sponsored by PokerStars and even took part in these events, mentions his own game but only occasionally.
These five tournament reports are all very entertaining and Holden understands there are several clever hands of the tournament with the lessons in his book in conjunction to bring. So for example, he describes a hand, which during the EPT Dublin in 2006 (which Roland de Wolfe won) by William Thorson had been played. William had AK and floppte 2 pairs, but decided against Slowplay de Wolfe and checked on the flop and called the semi-bluff on which de Wolfe did turn with QJ. The river came with a 10, de Wolfe had a Broadway straight and a nice pot won. Holden says the example of this hand, why the criteria for a Slowplay in this situation and were not given in his statement refers to a discussion about Slowplaying in the front sections.
Although such a methodology for actually rather inexperienced player is capable of speaking for the EPT chapter also experienced players, since some interesting situations are outlined. In one chapter he reports in great detail about Vicky Corens victory at the EPT in London, including table-talk and a description of the characters involved. The chapter on the EPT in Copenhagen begins with a brief analysis of holdem hands in the movie Casino Royale, a very interesting passage, which the discussion of Poker in the movies, in which Holden in his book Big Deal in detail was due again. In the chapter on Monte Carlo, he describes the victory of Gavin Griffin, and is unusual in several hands, which some readers certainly food for thought.
In the last chapter of the book, he deals with the WSOP and talks about the Main Event 2007. This WSOP Diary (which is already partly Bigger Deal on the website was published) is one of the most entertaining chapters of the book. Holden goes there with the finesse and wit of an experienced journalist on the ups and downs of the poker game. An appendix with book recommendations, a glossary, some probability tables and a table of starting hands round out the contents of the book from.
The thing with "the presumption of innocence lost" on what Holden at the end of his book Big Deal writes, we determined some readers back into the memory back, if you are a new book by Holden read (in particular to all readers, who as an amateur player and not as PokerPros view). If Holden strategies teaches us – if he PokerPro to us as talking – is now missing the elegant restraint, which was in his earlier works estimate has learned. But the humble Holden – amateur – will return in the second half of the book back, especially when he is about himself funny, because the things on the table once again do not work like it is presented.
Finally, one can say that the player Holden perhaps no more than a talented amateur, but as a poker author, he is without doubt a real pro.

2008 WSOP 'November Nine' Focus: Scott Montgomery |

Scott Montgomery is 26 years old and lives in Perth / Ontario, he was before his qualifying for the WSOP Main Event Final Table in the poker scene is not really known, but already had a gig on TV. He sat at the WPT LA Poker Classic at the Final Table, with the Final Table in the TV department. He started at this Final Table as chip leader, but ultimately took only the 5th place. It was a monster Final Table at the table sat among other things, Phil Hellmuth, Quinn Do, Nam Le and the subsequent winner, Phil Ivey. Now Montgomery is sitting again in a Final Table, which is transmitted on TV, only that it is the largest and most important event of the poker scene. Montgomery is so worried? Recently he wrote in his profile at Full Tilt Poker: "I come to win."
Montgomery studied mathematics at the University of Waterloo, Ontario, but went after the colleague in Japan, in order to teach English there. When he was in Japan, he started with the poker games. One should indeed expect from a teacher that he learned about the game and every poker book rote learning, which he receives in the hand, but far from the truth. He started to play online, and lost its first four deposits in the amount of $ 50 immediately. Then he won a $ 30 Six-Handed tournament, for which he 900 $ erheilt. According to Montgomery, he has never made a further deposit.
After he trained his skills online had he bought into The 10,000 th LAPC event and made it on his first big live tournament to the Final Table, for which he is a prize in the amount of 300,000 $ was given. He describes himself as "mentally ill, psychotic, aggressive" players, which means that he is always high with chips Swings expected, but his playing style seems to have voted for him pay.
During the WSOP this year when he won $ 10,000 Heads-Up World Champion 16.Platz the chip and won in two other WSOP event prize money, making him at these events has won a total of $ 73,000. At the Closing Day, he played in the $ 3,000 No-Limit Hold'em tournament at the Bellagio Cup IV, with the 4th place he occupied and 36,000 additional prize money was $.
As the WSOP in the 4-month break was Final Table, Montgomery decided to have some additional events to play. He has won at a Legends of Poker NLHE event the Preliminary 9.Platz and then traveled to Europe to participate in some other major events to participate. He succeeded at the EPT Barcelona Main Event until Day 2, the difference in the EPT Main Event in London on the first day and resigned from the WSOP Main Event in London, also at 2 days, he made it but none of these events to a prize win.
Montgomery hopes that his bad luck with the exit from the WSOP Main Event is now complete. At the start of the 2nd 4th day, he was in relation to his chip stack, and stood just behind the eventual third place Ivan Demidov. He went twice with the best hand at the All-In-turn and lost twice against runner-runner flushes, which resulted in an early stage that he could go home.
At the WSOP Main Event had Montgomery for each day a particular goal. His first goal was to, 1 Day with 100,000 chips to finish. He made it and had almost 98,525 chips at the end of 1 day. His goal for day 2 was 200,000 chips at the end of the day, he had 249,700 chips to his goal even a bit exceeded. On Day 3, he had suffered a serious blow and had the end of the day 162,500 chips. But reached on day 4 he set his goal again and had a little over 1,000,000 chips. On day 5, he built his chip stack to 2,600,000 in chips, lost, but just before the end of some key hands and fell to 1,669,000 chips back.
  On Day 6 ran it initially not very good, and his chip stack was getting smaller, after two successful all-ins (where he is one of the all-ins without a showdown and won the other with JJ against AK decided for themselves). It was thus again a little over 2 million chips. At the end of the day he stood at 4,320,000 chips and was thus in relation to the chip stack in good midfield.
On the last day he started saying that he Tiffany Michelle to 1 million chips easier to shortly afterwards by Paul Snead All-In set to be. The flop was, Snead Raiste to 3 million, Montgomery re-Raiste All-In (a bluff, as he later admitted). Snead called and was ahead, Montgomery had. The on the turn gave Scott no further, everything now depended on the River from Scott had just 2 outs (and), either this card would come, or the tournament would be finished for him. The miracle happened, the River, the Montgomery and won a pot worth over 11 million chips. Shortly before the end of the first day, he won another big pot against the chip leader Dennis Phillips, when he was flush with the groove To win a pot worth over 15 million chips won. His chip stack was at that time almost 21 million chips. At the time when the occupation of the Final Table was established, was the chip stack of 19.7 million Montgomery chips, making it the 3rd place in relation to the chip stack occupied.
Scott Montgomery did at the beginning of this year, a name in the live tournament scene and now sits at the Final Table biggest of his life. No matter how he performs, the year 2008 he will certainly never forget. But without question Scott is not so satisfied, if it any place at any Final Table shows. He said: "I have from day one planned to win." This was its final destination at the WSOP Main Event, let's wait until November 11 and leave us be surprised if he will achieve his goal.
Here is an interview with Scott:

Poker Book Review: Daniel Negreanu's "More Hold'em Wisdom for All Players' |

Since 2005, Daniel Negreanu writes a weekly poker column with the names: "Playing Poker with Daniel Negreanu" which in some magazines in the U.S. and Canada will be published. The column is also available on some Internet sites to find offers Poker Players Alliance to its members, the column has recently read at. In the column there Negreanu a variety of tips, mostly on holdem (both cash games, and tournaments) and goes into a short, very readable form on a variety of fundamental concepts.
 
In 2007 appeared Negreanus first book, "Hold'em Wisdom for All Players" in which a number of columns in a sequence of names: "50 powerful tips to make you a winning player" were summarized. The now published new book, More Hold'em Wisdom for All Players, is based on a similar principle, and it will again be 50 Negreanu columns together into a sequence, diesesmal they were divided into 4 chapters: "Winning tournaments with Smart Play," "Playing Your Players, Your position and (Oh, Yes) Your Cards, "" Betting and bluffing with No Fear, "and" What's the Best Play? Using Poker Wisdom as Your Guide. The columns in the second book were conducted between mid 2006 and end 2007 Written and published.
Like the first book, More Hold'em Wisdom provides its readers with a number of useful tips on all aspects of Texas Holdem. Unlike the first book, employ some of the chapters with more general topics, such as Psychology, theory or not poker-specific topics (eg Top 5 Reasons Why You're Losing at Poker "), some of the chapters of the second book also deals with specific strategic advice.
In the first part of "Winning tournaments with Smart Play" will give the reader some ideas on Negreanu's "small ball" theory presented in what he described in his book published last summer, Daniel Negreanu's Power Hold'em Strategy something closer had been received. He goes e.g. provide a description of why it is important tournaments, more hands to play than in cash games, while you hold the balance of aggression must be true ( "When to Be Aggressive in Tournament Play") and must play conservatively ( "Defense Wins Championships ").
The second chapter, "Playing Your Players, Your position and (Oh, Yes) Your Cards," consists of tips on how to recognize different types of players and his own image at the game table can be effectively improved. You will find sections on the topics "Exploiting Weak-Tight Players, Poker Playing Against a Maniac "and advice on how to get his own game can vary (eg," Three Ways to Add Deception to Your Game "). Other tips deal Mike Caro's" Fancy Play Syndrome, "which Blind vs. Blind-play and the theme of Limit Hold'em.
In each chapter you will find examples on the theme "Betting and bluffing with No Fear 'and the issues: the amount of the bet, bluffing and uncover Bluffs, Value Betting and decision making in post-flop decisions are discussed. One issue is the small ball on the principle-based theory of the "pot control", in some sections to be situations in which a call is the right decision, although the general opinion in these situations, "Raise or Fold" would recommend.
Like the title of the last chapter suggests – "What's the Best Play? Using Poker Wisdom as Your Guide" can be found in this chapter, different tips on poker, which none of the other categories could be assigned. Many tips in this section refer to certain starting hands, among other things, on premium starting hands, Suited Connectors, and so-called "Trouble Hands" as AQ.
Contrary to the statement that this book is for "all players" would be appropriate, the two collections of columns rather Negreanu suitable for beginners, experienced players because most of these books approaches usually already know. For all who already have read poker books, could read this book a bit frustrating because it is difficult to discuss in 600 words (the column usually consists of 600 words) completely to act.
Another problem of the book More Hold'em Wisdom for All Players is that some of the tips on topics which are already in the first book have been treated extensively. Indeed, a chapter in More Hold'em Wisdom, which is titled "Calling with the worst hand" is already literally in the first book to find. In his book, More Hold'em Wisdom for All Players Negreanu makes this remarkable ability to demonstrate again.

Portrait of Phil Galfond |

Born in Madison, the capital of the state of Wisconsin on Lake Michigan, at an absolute poker cash-game Maniac since 2008 in the possession of a WSOP bracelet and a member of the "Ship It Holla Ballas" crew. With its 24 years, Phil Galfond aka "OMGClayAiken "a very exclusive and extraordinary life.
Full Tilt Poker is his main "playground" – where he indulged High Stakes NL and Pot-Limit games. But even at PokerStars, you can contact him at the nick-name ktrieu for you. His name is Full Tilt OMGClayAiken because he jokingly after the singer Clay Aiken, who by "America's Idol" (the American counterpart of "Deutschland sucht den Superstar" or "Star Mania") became famous.
Famous Phil Galfond is also because in 2008 alone, he makes the $ 7Millionen by Cash Games deserve. Perhaps it has canceled his philosophy studies encouraged his inner strength of poker to make use. Consistently, he has over the last years of his bank roll increased so as more and more in the High-Stakes-field change. He has established world class players like Phil Ivey to nothing. On the contrary, he is looking for games with the best in the world to themselves grow.
In tournaments you will meet Galfond only sporadically, mainly in WSOP events. Last year, he could at $ 5,000 – Pot Limit Omaha Event Bracelet his first pick. But that is no reason his favorite activity, the cash games, be reduced. Tournaments happen to him "the way".
What is respect other players before him have Tom "durrrr" Dwan Wettansage mid-January showed. Dwan has made Phil Ivey, David Benyamin and Patrik Antonius invited, but not Phil Galfond. The Wettansage was 50,000 heads-up hands against each player, simultaneously at four tables. variants may either play NL Hold'em and Pot Limit Omaha, and the stakes should be at least $ 200 / $ 400's. profits would be that of a profit and at the Dwan offer odds of 3:1 against his opponents. This daring wager Dwan wanted in any case not Galfond received, let him out. Perhaps it is simply the fact that Dwan is a good buddy of Galfond is?
In any case, Phil Galfond but good in the form of a positive definition freaks or possessed fit. Except for the poker game does not interest him much – well, almost nothing. As a member of the "Ship It Holla Ballas", he wanted a typical poker playboy live document – as a blog, including photos. Young poker junkies who really wanted to sow rauslassn. The site is now offline again, but on Flickr there are photos … if you look at these views, you can probably guess why they are the "Project" is finished …
The era of the "sins of youth" seem to be over, because now is a lot of money gepokert – because it is remain focused and keep the focus. Galfond is well up to now managed to increase profits …

Stefanie Bergen's Blog – One year as a PokerPro a review |

This year, a poker pro for Everest Poker to be a tendency now to the end and these days, I also found the time again over the past year 2008 it. It was a crazy year with many things that I never would have been presented.
3 years ago I began to play poker, perhaps know a few of you also have the story. Dealers told me when playing blackjack, but that poker is a much more interesting game is where you unlike the Blackjack much more through his playing style could affect me and I began, for the first time with the right to deal poker.
Initially, I began to practice on the Internet. As I slowly was safe, I played in the Casino Wiesbaden my first small live tournaments. How sure many other women, I felt insecure at the beginning of so many men and I was not clear about how I feel at the poker table will be recorded. It was an advantage that I am at the Casino Wiesbaden few people knew, and most dealers, which, incidentally, very friendly and qualified.
Contrary to all expectations was nothing strange at the poker table, everyone was very friendly and polite to me, surely also because they had me as a "fish" recognized, but for whatever reason, I felt comfortable.
Fairly quickly, I came to the realization that I probably still too little understood by the poker and started me on poker books to buy. Some were quite good, others to fall asleep boring.
But pretty soon I began to understand when one thinks much about poker to know you really only at the beginning and the dimension of the poker game is much bigger than I had initially suspected.
After some time I had my first success, I won tournaments on the Internet and made it to the final tables in the casino.
Finally, I am also qualified on the internet for my first really big live tournament that Main Event at the EPT Dortmund. After today's perspective, a disaster, so I'm really not glorious but too cautious, almost cowardly played.
A good year later, Everest Poker has announced the competition "Live the dream" and I wanted to do a PokerPro be for Everest Poker.
I am qualified for a tournament on the internet and came from 380 players in the top 10th The 10, the other with 190 qualifiers in Vienna were invited to the casting.
Two months later arrived in Vienna we went through qualifying tournaments, discussions and interviews with senior staff and officers of Everest Poker.
Finally, I came on the first evening under the 20 finalists, together with two very nice guys from Germany. I was between doubt and joy torn.
Am I not too old for this team?
Can I do with these young poker enthusiasts keep pace?
Helps me perhaps my life experience of poker and the casting even more?
At the end of the second day of the 10 winners were named. This moment I will never forget. Constantly, I was close to tears and did not knew why. Suddenly, I believe in seventh place my name was called and it was happening around me, I cried off and could no longer hear, but there were tears of joy.
I had won. That made me incredibly proud and the best was that I had two children and really until 3 years ago no clue of poker and now had I even got the chance in the world to play in tournaments with a value of USD 100,000.
My first tournament was in March 2007 in Monaco for the EPT, then I have played and the side of the WSOP Main Event in Las Vegas, where I even by two television crews were accompanied.
This was followed by the EPT in Barcelona and the Woman's World Open II in London, a TV event of which I am a vice-world champion came back.
The EPT Prague (Czech Republic), the German Poker Championship in Hamburg, CAPT Bregenz and Seefeld and the EPT in Dortmund for me online as early as 2007 had already qualified.
In the last two years were some wins and final tables online and in smaller tournaments added.
This year, I have incredibly learned a lot about poker, tips and tricks from many popular and excellent players and I get more and more developed. I have noticed that we are constantly evolving and Poker also has many parallels to real life. Recently I took part in an article for the World on Sunday, the financial part of a member of the Poker Poker has compared content, and hence again a little more "acceptance" for our game of poker could create what has happened to me in public is always a special concern.
This article is an introduction into my life and a presentation of my person at the Poker News readers. I will do my knowledge of poker strategies with the readers of poker news, as I share it partly on my blog at http://www.stefaniebergener.de/ did. Thus, I can help others not have the same mistakes as I did, from which one learns while, but the one with the correct understanding can be avoided.
 

Intention of Lakes Entertainment, WPT auszuverkaufen? |

This Thanksgiving (Thanksgiving) was characterized by very important events in the poker world. Lakes Entertainment, the company, about two-thirds of the shares of World Poker Tour Enterprise owns, gave statements to the good news / bad news nature of their financial transactions out. It is already in the business world customary for the good news at the start of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (New York Stock Exchange) to advertise to the potentially bad news at the end of the day trying to hide. This announcement was for many shareholders, some good news, although there are many treatments on the future of the Lakes and WPTE there.
In the statement advertised Lakes Entertainment also deal with the directors of the Company SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission), quarterly reports submitted on time (the last report was submitted with the delay). This step demonstrates the company's decision, their good name to preserve the business and to reinforce positions. It is widely known that the world of investment negatively reacted to the fact, when SEC profits and business skills of any Gesellschft questioniert!
In this story important is the fact that Lakes Entertainment has taken this decision in order quickly enough, the future image of society. Lakes indicated that the Company's financial capital needs, $ 10 million at the end of 2005 and an additional $ 10 million to 1 March 2006. Lakes was looking for different ways to attract the investment needed to get, and has opted for a certain part of the investment in World Poker Tour Enterprise to sell. WPTE is the company for the production and many other services provided by the World Poker Tour responsibility.
One thing is unclear. Is this way to attract the investment needed for them to accumulate Lakes, unavoidable? Currently, it is very difficult to make any conclusions and the impact of this decision on the financial operations of WPTE to determine.
The WPTE is characterized by high benefits. There are several reasons for this. An enormous success of the World Poker Tour, a strong commercial potential and high performance of the virtual poker room make up the whole picture of society. The other owners (if the company plans Lakes realized) can a certain danger and distort this image. But these changes may be more advantages than disadvantages. The other owners may also great goals, the WPTE business during the summer to extend the success and even more strengthened.
The future will help us answer all questions. WPTE is a hugely valuable commodity, Lakes Entertainment currently owns. Many companies understand the importance of this decision and will be able to exploit its business potential to be strengthened. We are very aware of other steps of Lakes Entertainment observe to keep you informed.
