If ever there was a time to give up watching football and just stick to playing poker this is it. My poker has been going in an exact opposite direction to that of the England football team - whilst they look laboured and disinterested my poker has been bright and inventive. I’ve lost some big pots on the way when trying to be a little over fancy but it’s certainly been more interesting than watching the football.
England look wound up and with so much pressure on them going into the final group game on Wednesday they’re going to need a spark to break them out of their current trough. That spark is unlikely to come from any of the players we have seen moping about the pitch so far unless Wayne Rooney realises that eating baked beans in a caravan is exactly where he is headed if he doesn’t sort his head out.
Joe Cole can be the player to inject some life into this England team. He has an effervescent character that rubs off on other people and you can guarantee he will play with a smile on his face. He also has the ability to unlock a defence in a split second and can provide something genuinely different to a side struggling for confidence, rhythm and most importantly goals.
I watched the Algeria game whilst playing online poker as I was in a tournament that seemed to drag on and on. I was also running some cash games alongside to help my rakeback as it is nearing the end of the month and I like to see a nice big rake back payment from my rake back poker provider www.rakeback.co.uk.
My payment has increased every month from www.rakeback.co.uk since I joined up with them and I’m really looking forward to the English Poker Open freerolls they are running over the summer. Would be great to play in this event so I will be grinding a lot over the next few weeks.

Catch hold of some great free rolls and rake race for the English poker open
The World Series of rakeback poker may attract the very best poker players in the world but in rooms and fields so large you rarely see more than one or two stars on the same table but in the $10k Pot Limit Hold’em event that started on June 20th the stars were glinting like the Milky Way.
There was one table in particular that caught the attention of many on the rail: Amnon Filippi, Kevin Saul, Juston Bonomo, Vitaly Lunkin, Christian Harder and David Benefield were joined later by Joe Hachem. A table of this kind would normally be reserved for a sponsor’s televised game but not so in the rarefied atmosphere of the Amazon room. These poker superstars were all duelling it out on Day 1 at the Rio with the likes of Daniel Negreanu, Tom Dwan – ever so briefly – and Mike Matusow, Phil Hellmuth and more names than I can list.
With the high buy in and the mathematical nature of Pot limit offering little encouragement to amateurs out there the field at the start of Day 1 was about as tough as you will ever find. There was very little dead money and you would be struggling to find an easy table to play on. For those amateurs that did play it must have been an unbelievable experience to watch and learn these poker gladiators.
I’ve been watching from a far hoping that if I can keep my game tight and keep earning well then maybe next year I will be there playing. My rakeback provider www.pokerrakeback.com are giving me nice payments at the moment and have some great freerolls and rake races for the English Poker Open which is on just before the WSOP Europe. If I can keep my online poker going well then maybe I might take a vacation over there and see what I can do.
For those that are looking for a rake back deal I can’t recommend www.pokerrakeback.com enough as they pay promptly have great customer service and really good promotions.

Proper Calculation Needed To Win Rakeback on Eight Tables
Every time the Flyers enter a series they have an unbelievable ability to make it tough for themselves. Going three games down against Boston and then 3-0 down in the decider they still managed to turn it around and I am starting to believe that they can be only the third team in Stanley Cup Final’s history to come back from 0-2.
Last night the Flyers displayed all of their determination and resolve even after surrendering the lead twice and then going behind into the final period. Claude Giroux’s OT goal proved that this time will never say die and this personality within the squad will help level the playing field. A win to go 2-2 in the series would put all the pressure back on Chicago.
My poker has been going well recently and I’m looking forward to seeing the rakeback payment from www.rakebackpoker.com as I’ve been playing a whole heap recently. It has been a mixture and I put myself at about 4bb/100 at the moment which isn’t great but on eight tables and with rakeback that should amount to about 6bb/100 and a decent profit for the month. I haven’t done all the calculations but things are looking good.
The WSOP has started and a few bracelets have been handed out so that’s great news for the chosen few. I particularly liked the dealer from San Diego who won the casino employees event. He must be flying high right now. The Players Championship again drew a stellar field with both Mizrachis making the final table. The grinder won out and proved that he can cut it with the very very best. I am absolutely delighted for him as he has come so close on a number of occasions.
If I can keep going as I am currently with the rakeback pouring in I may just be able to scrounge together the cash to fly out for the Main Event, means rakeback poker games.. It is very much touch and go and I will need a lot of rakeback from www.rakebackpoker.com to make it possible but I’m kissing rabbit’s feet and keeping my fingers crossed.

Get Your Deserved Rakeback in the Days of Furore
Despite all of the furore around June 1st and the implementation of the UIGEA Act as far as I can tell absolutely nothing has changed. I can still make deposits, I can still withdraw money and probably most importantly I am still receiving my rakeback from www.pokerrakeback.com.
The Poker Players Alliance have been working really hard to try and get the UIGEA postponed again and I can see where they are coming from. It would be best if all of our laws were structured properly so that those that have to actually act on them know what is meant. Leaving banks to decide what is legal and what isn’t can only be a bad move!
It seems to me, and some commentators have also said this, that the UIGEA coming into practise is actually a good thing as it will show how useless the law is and that it needs to be changed. Given how long these things normally take to get done that would leave online poker players an absolute age before they have to worry again.
If banks are continuing to make transfers and accept deposits withdrawals etc then clearly the whole thing is a sham anyway and should lead to some more pressure to get Barney Frank’s regulation bill through. It makes sense given the economic times we live in for the Federal and State governments to make money out of online poker.
It would also stop all of these rogue operators who swindle poker players out of their money from ever entering the industry. There are many rakeback poker games operators who are just there for the quick buck. Luckily I did a lot of research before choosing www.pokerrakeback.com as I have heard some horror stories about other sites. www.pokerrakeback.com is part of a big network which means you have bigger promotions and you can be sure they are a real site and not just somebody stealing your rakeback.
I can’t wait for Barney Frank’s bill to come through and I believe it will be marked up pretty soon, so fingers crossed everyone and the taxman will be making money out of poker very soon.

Win Rakeback with Proper Skill
The squad is announced, the press have had a field day and Theo Walcott will be spending the summer at soccer school or scouts depending on which joke you hear. Whilst I obviously have my own opinion on the England squad I also have an opinion on Mr Capello. He has single handedly turned a team full of overpaid losers into one with confidence and swagger again.
Whilst I hate to see Frank Lampard attempt a swagger as it looks more like a waddle (and no England fan wants to see a Waddle at a World Cup) I will put my faith in Capello for all the work that he has done with this England team that qualified as top scorers out of all the countries – even though we played four less games than the South Americans.
I like Warnock over Baines as the Blackburn player is a lot more physical and can play in the holding role which has proven to be a real thorn in England’s side. Barry is unlikely to be fit enough to play every minute of the World Cup and Warnock’s experience in this role could help take the burden of Barry’s shoulders in some games.
First up is the USA and this will easily be our toughest game. They have a strong midfield a good goalkeeper and a very untested defence. Star centre back Oguchi Onyewu has spend the entire season injured at AC Milan and Jonathon Spector is a capable but limited player. A comfortable group stage will then give way to a turbulent knockout round and from there it is fingers crossed time.
My poker has gone well except for one big hand which went the wrong way and cost me a huge stack I had built up over about three hours to about 12 times the buy in. With a wrap and the nut flush draw and a set I felt strong as the cards went in only for my opponent to hit the perfect turn that left me with almost no chance as he hit quads. Win some lose some and my rakeback from www.rakeback.co.uk must have been pretty good as I was 8 tabling for about six hours. This why people love rakeback poker games, it is not a game only, if anybody get the proper strategy it will be part of his/her life. Good luck to you my friends.

Poker Politics and Perception
With the start of campaigning for the General Election Messrs Brown and Cameron are facing the voters on the campaign trail and taking orders from their image gurus. On the surface this may have very little to do with rakeback poker but if we scratch a little deeper there are some very strong correlations between politics and poker...
Both politicians and rake back players are reliant on their ability to judge others’ perceptions and influence how they themselves are perceived. Perception is not an objective science and a person’s ability to perceive situations accurately can be improved by understanding the common pitfalls associated with perception
To win a general election in the UK a party or leader is now entering into a popularity contest due to the insignificance of their policies on the mass voting public. This popularity contest is a struggle for perception. Politicians will want the public to perceive them in a certain way and this image they want to portray will be based on their team’s perception of what the public wants to see.
The Labour Party and the Conservatives will be constantly analysing the general public in a big to understand what the public want in order to then deliver it themselves. Whichever party is able to more accurately perceive the public’s demand will be able to design a suitable strategy in order to overcome their rival and win the election. The end result of this strategy will be the image they attempt to portray to the voting public who will make their own judgements based on their own perceptions of the parties.
Much like the two political parties a player in a hand will analyse the rest of the table and look to understand the sentiment of each player in order to make the correct decision. If our hero perceives the other players to be weak then a raise will be a judicious play but if he perceives them as strong then a different course of action is required. In the same decision making process a player will need to have an understanding of how he is perceived by the rest of the table or even if they have any image of him at all.

David Williams Wins WPT Championship
David Williams led a somewhat charmed life on his way to scooping the WPT Championship on Saturday night at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. After a gruelling heads-up battle with Eric Baldwin Williams’ pair of deuces pre-flop was able to improve on the turn to bottom set and ship the title to the Vegas pro.
The final table was a veritable who’s who of 2010 rakeback poker tournaments as David Benyamine, Billy Baxter, Shawn Buchanan and John O’Shea made up the final six. It was the Irishman O’Shea who was out first on the final table as his aggressive do-or-die attitude from the outset proved to be his undoing. After pushing all in first hand he eventually found somebody willing to call after a few more hands and was left hoping his 63 offsuit would improve against Billy baxter’s A-T. The board hit nobody and left O’shea going home with a shade under $200k in his pocket.
Baxter was next to go after Williams flopped the broadway straight but the veteran pro was rewarded with a quarter of a million dollars to soothe the pain. After these two left early on the stacks ensured there was plenty of play before David Benyamine was sent to the rail as his QJ was unable to improve against Buchanan’s A5.
Once again the winner of the confrontation was knocked out by Williams as Buchanan committed pre-flop with a pair of Queens but ran into Williams pocket 9s which binked a set on the flop and left Buchanan ruing his luck. After this hand Williams was left with a 3:1 chip lead going in to heads up with Eric Baldwin.
Bladwin was the 2009 rake back Card Player of the Year but he was never able to get to grips with Williams and found himself out of the tournament in the cruellest of fashions. Baldwin moved all in pre-flop with A5 and found an optimistic call from Williams holding 2-2. When the ace fell on the flop Williams needed one of the remaining twos to take home the title. The turn showed a 2 and for the second time on the final table Williams had his set and with it the title.
Williams takes home $1.5m with Eric Baldwin collecting just over a million for his efforts.

Defeat Reveals our Strengths and Weaknesses
In 2009 Tom Dwan suffered some very heavy losses, millions of dollars disappeared from sight into the pockets of Isildur1 and others. His game was being called everything under the sun, from predictable to wild but one man knew things would turn around again. Dwan has maintained his confidence in his game ironed out some errors and has seen the rewards this year for the pain he endured in 2009, already in profit by well over a million dollars.
Every time a rakeback poker player suffers a bad beat a normal thought is why no, or not again or perhaps something a little more colourful. Often the bad beat will come at a very inopportune moment – deep in a tournament or with a large stack in front of you at a cash game. It is at these moments players discover where their real weaknesses lie.
After a bad beat many players will then blow the rest of their stack whilst going on tilt and this is no new thing. Even those players who are actively aware they may go on tilt and will try and set the mind straight will often play hands that before the bad beat would have been seen as marginal at best. It is these hands which must be carefully monitored to try and prevent a similar occurrence going forward. A great German polymath once stated: “He who does not draw on a thousand years of history lives from hand to mouth.”
These words should work as caution to players to stop committing the same mistake. To record their beats and also their wins, to try and gain a much firmer understanding of their game. If you play cash games you need to know whether you play better against more or less players, more or less aggressive players and at what time of the day. You need to record just how much you are earning from your rakeback deal. If you don’t have one yet, that needs to be addressed. There are lots to choose from and a quick visit to www.rakebackpoker.com will highlight your options.
Learning and fighting from setbacks to become stronger and more well-rounded is part of life and definitely a large part of poker. Only by realising the holes in your game will you be able to take it to the next level. A great play or book can never be written without the author first suffering from the injustice of the world. Hundreds of ideas and scripts will be disregarded before the final copy is set in motion. This has to be the same with your poker game, you need to take a long look at the state of your game and pay special attention after a defeat, relive the pain and use it to channel your desire to improve.

Omaha Pot Limit on Rush Poker
This may be jumping on the bandwagon a little but I have just started playing Omaha Pot Limit and thought the best way to learn is to head over to Full Tilt and use their Rush rakeback poker facility. Having never played Rush Poker or PLO before it was a bit of an initial shock but very quickly I started to figure out the nuances not only of Rush but also of PLO.
Having come from No Limit Hold Em it took a bit of getting used to. Normally I’m eight tabling at pretty low stakes so thought I would just sit down at the $0.10/$0.20 to try and figure out what was going on. The biggest differences are obviously the number of flops that were seen and also the quality of hand that wins the pot.
With four cards in the hole you essentially have four usable hands as you have to use three of the community cards to make your best five card hand. First up I was dealt three aces and my old hold’em brain took over and i was raising away but quickly realised I had slim chances of finding my own set and was then hoping the board would pair to at least give me two pair – but then the risk is that somebody has a set or even a full house.
Once these initial teething problems were out the way though the pace of Rush Poker was really helping me get to grips with the game. With the ability to open two tables both on Rush I was playing constantly, rarely waiting more than 5 or 10 seconds for a decision to come my way. For anybody else that is looking to start on a new format I heartily recommend it as I managed to play something like 2,000 hands in just over two hours which is a great way to get some very fast experience at low levels.
The two hours were definitely well spent as very few players seem to have a fold button and if you do hit a good hand you are more than likely to get paid. I also signed up for a rakeback deal from www.rakebackpoker.com so looking forward to my cheque at the end of the month after some sessions on Rush.
I used the same site before to get a rakeback deal at Cake Poker and the customer service has been awesome – although that really pales in comparison to the boost to my bankroll I receive every month.

Having come from No Limit Hold Em it took a bit of getting used to. Normally I’m eight tabling at pretty low stakes so thought I would just sit down at the $0.10/$0.20 to try and figure out what was going on. The biggest differences are obviously the number of flops that were seen and also the quality of hand that wins the pot.
With four cards in the hole you essentially have four usable hands as you have to use three of the community cards to make your best five card hand. First up I was dealt three aces and my old hold’em brain took over and i was raising away but quickly realised I had slim chances of finding my own set and was then hoping the board would pair to at least give me two pair – but then the risk is that somebody has a set or even a full house.
Once these initial teething problems were out the way though the pace of Rush Poker was really helping me get to grips with the game. With the ability to open two tables both on Rush I was playing constantly, rarely waiting more than 5 or 10 seconds for a decision to come my way.

Play Poker and Win Money
How many times do I keep telling myself to fold a hand to the pot sized bet on the river absolutely certain that I’ve lost the hand and then somehow my hand drifts and I’ve hit the call button. Sure enough the other guy has the nuts and I’m clicking add more chips.
There really can’t be a worse feeling in rakeback pokerthan knowing you are going to lose, telling yourself you are going to lose, then calling and then losing exactly as you just told yourself. A bad beat is a bad bead and can be explained away or vented out by breaking something, having a cigarette or listening to some soothing music. Calling when you know you are losing is just so stupid and so painful and yet I keep doing it.
I think it could be to do with the whole grinding grinding grinding I’ve been doing recently as I try to build a bankroll and I’m playing so many hands and seeing players bluffing all the time and the loose aggressive players getting away with it time and time again. This must be adding up in my mind subconsciously because even as I tell myself, no this time just fold I click call and there go my chips.
I’ve been putting in minimum four hour sessions on between 4 and 8 tables depending on how I’m playing for the whole of March and right now all i can think about is my rakeback bonus at the end of the month. I need to run a check and see just how many hands I’ve played but I can imagine my rakeback must be nearing the $1,000 mark.
I have also just signed up with a site using http://www.pokerrakeback.com/ again and may be switching my MTT SitnGo attentions over there as fees are included in rake with that site. Will let you all know how it goes.

The world stands up for Haiti
In the last month and a half celebrities, charities, individuals and even rakeback poker sites around the world have been generating millions of dollars to help the disaster stricken people of Haiti. With internal strife caused by looting and rioting adding to the devastating consequences of the initial earthquake, the tiny and poverty laden Caribbean island is badly in need of this help.
President Obama was quick to pledge the full support of the United States of America and offer "the deep condolences and unwavering support" of the American people. The president continued: "Our thoughts and prayers are also with the many Haitian Americans around our country who do not yet know the fate of their families and loved ones back home." Americans, moved by their president’s address, have donated millions of dollars to help provide aid and regenerate the devastated country.
People from as disparate places as New Zealand, England and Madagascar have been putting their hands in their pockets, organising fundraising events and showing their support for the people of Haiti. A seven year old boy called Charlie Simpson who lives in London was so horrified at the suffering he saw that he told his parents he wanted to do something. They suggested riding around the park and a month on Charlie is still receiving money. The young lad has managed to raise over £150,000, just a little in excess of his target of £500.
Stranger still as more details of the disaster started appearing in world news, rakeback poker sites globally stood up as one and instigated a series of tournaments and promotions to not only encourage its players to play and donate but also matching donations out of their own back pocket. Doyle Brunson’s site Doyle’s Room were one of the first to show their support for Haiti with the old timer stating in his blog “All you see on the TV news channels are about the earthquakes in Haiti. It is a real disaster area and America is trying to help and the online poker sites are no exception. Come play with us and help some unfortunate people.” All tournament fees were donated to the people of Haiti.
These often maligned software programmes that rake away players money for staggering profits have shown their face and their personality in helping out this destitute island. Millions of people around the world have reacted positively to this tragic disaster so it is hard to highlight the effects of just a few but the willingness of the poker community to stand up together has to be admired.

To Avoid Failure First Get Right Information On Poker Games
Another bad day, another bankroll gone and another lesson learned. If like me you have experience your fair share of struggles on the rakeback pokertable. Seen some fish swim away on the river with your hard-earned cash and generally felt dispirited by the game you may well have turned to some advice from those players that have already made a success of their poker.
Poker players have been reading poker books for as long as they have been printed to try and gain a better understanding of the game and to try and gain an advantage on their potential victims. Books like Harrington on Hold ‘em and Doyle Brunson’s Super System have become bibles for generations of poker players. However, there has been a change of late as the latest stream of online players are placing as much faith if not more in the sheer volume of hands they play. Online players are now able to play in excess of a million hands a year online by multi-tabling on as many screens as their out of poker pocket can afford.
This shift has been well noted by the old-timer like Brunson, Negreanu and others in their own blogs as they state how difficult the newcomers are to play. There is now potentially more fear for some of these players in coming up against a table of young 20 somethings who have learnt their trade online than being drawn with players they have battled with for years. These online whizz kids have played millions of millions of hands and devised new methods to beating others and the system. Having read all the books they have found that these really aren’t encyclopaedic and there are alterations that can be made to reflect the zeitgeist of poker.
These changes in the way poker is played would be looked upon favourably by Nietzsche and others who followed the beliefs that all that has gone before can prevent the invention of new ideas by its acceptance in modern culture. For all struggling poker players out there Nietzsche did also explain that for any real pleasure in life the individual must first experience pain. That to climb a mountain is to experience the labour, manoeuvre around obstacles, feel your head go light in the oxygen deprived air. Without these difficulties we would not truly appreciate the view from the top.
However, if you are going to struggle your way to the top there is no harm in having a bit of extra bankroll to help you along. I have just recently discovered rakeback and it has helped my struggles quite tangibly. I went to www.pokerrakeback.com and after finding the site I play on signed up and now receive monthly deposits in my account from the rake I have contributed whilst playing. I think of it as my walking stick and with it in my hand I am back to climb another mountain.

Great Tips for You When Looking for a New Poker Website
Even seasoned poker players make a basic mistake when they decide to go for a new poker website. One wrong decision can cost them thousands of pounds over a period of time. This money can convert a winning player into a complete loser. You can easily avoid this mistake if you are a little careful. If you are playing at a website which allows you to claim Rakeback, you can effectively get the rakeback poker website to pay back certain percentage of rake charges you have already paid to them while playing.
Let us explain what is Rake
If you are still not sure, you need to first understand what rake is. If you are playing on an online poker website for real money, the website will charge you certain percentage depending on how much money you are playing for. For example, if you are participating in a $10 ten seater tournament, you will actually have to pay 50 cents extra. This extra amount is the rake charge to you by online casino website for hosting the game. Also, at the end of every hand, the poker website will charge you five percent of every hand played.
The Deals that are Never Advertised
Now you can understand how an online rakeback website actually makes money. If the same online poker website pays back a certain percentage of rakes to you, it is called rakeback. These deals are never advertised anywhere which means you will have to personally check with the online poker website before you start playing there.
How much you could save?
Rakeback deals differ for every poker website though you can follow any single example to actually understand how rakeback deals actually operate. In the first glance, rake appears to be very small fees and you feel you need not worry about it. Even if you take a small volume player into account who pays 50cents for $10 games, and if he plays ten games every night for five nights a week, the total rake would become $5 per day and $25 per week. Obviously, you are paying $100 for one month. If the online poker website is offering you a 30% rakeback deal, you will get $30 back every month. The figure becomes $360 for one year. Remember, the figure that we have arrived at is only for small volume players and will be even higher for those who play poker for more money.

Poker Etiquette during the Game
Poker is not only about the knowledge, strategy and mathematics. It is not only about the poker psychology, analyze skills. Every poker player treating the game seriously will admit that also important is poker etiquette. It is even more important when you play live.
The rules of rakeback poker etiquette we can divide into two groups. Following one of them would let us to keep a nice atmosphere while playing. It is important especially when we play against the same opponents, at the same place. Second group of the rules have a direct impact on the game itself. Anyone who doesn’t follow them might be punished by the sit-out.
We shouldn’t think of the past hands to much. We should wait until the end of the game to analyze our play. If we experienced a bad beat it might be even more dangerous to our further play. There is no point of doing so out loud as it might frustrate our rakeback pals and the good atmosphere is the most important after all.
Don’t teach others how to play. Even when some poker players don’t really know how to play poker, once you’re all in the game you shouldn’t tell them what to do in a particular situation. First of all other players would like to win as much money as they could. Second of all they might not want to hear our advices as they came to have fun.
Play quick and don’t slow the play down. There might be some hands, which require more time, however most of the time you’d be able to make a decision quickly. Might be even better to switch the mobile off and focus on the game. There is nothing more frustrating the player who asks: Is it my turn?
Slow roll is other annoying thing. If we know that we won we should rather show the cards straight away. Building tension or pretending that we lost is a really bad acting. You have to know how to loose and how to win in a style.
Play by yourself and don’t ask anyone for help, no matter if it’s other opponent or someone who just folded the cards. All decisions you have to make on your own. Also don’t take your chips out of the table. There are some cases when the player winning a bigger pot takes part of his stack under the table. All chips must remain on the table, unless you are going to finish the game and take the chips home.

How to Steal the Blinds
How to become a perfect thief ? It’s of course nothing to be proud of in a real life, however in poker it will bring the success. Stealing the blinds is one of the most required skills in tournaments. If we are not going to steal the blinds then it is even better not to play the rakeback tournament at all. In the tournament the blinds raise up every few minutes and at the end of the game they’re really high.
What is stealing the blinds then? It is a simple pre-flop bet, which aims to get the blinds from the pot, when we do not want to be checked. The cards don’t matter here. We might bet with a draw hand, such as 8-9 or with a rubbish card such as 3-9. The point is to get the blinds without the check. The position is important here. It would be very stupid to bluff with 3-9 in the early or even in the middle position. Unless we have very passive players. Most of the time we don’t bluff with such cards at all. We should steal the blinds only from our late position. If all the players folded their cards and we have only the blinds before us that are the signal. The chance we may steal the blinds and other players will fold is very high.
Type of our opponents is a very important factor here. We do not want to bluff if our opponent plays loose and watches most of the flops. These poker players would like to defence their blinds, so the idea of stealing the blinds from them is a simple mistake. If the players on blinds are very tight though and they play only premium hands stealing the blinds must be beneficial.
Our proper image as a rakeback poker player is a necessity. We can not steal the blinds too often. Even if we are in a good position. It might become clear to our opponents that we are stealing. Unless we have a good hand – such as pocket Kings. Once we are caught on stealing the blinds the best way will be to slow down and stop bluffing.
The size of the stack is also an important factor. Our should be much bigger than our opponents’. We shouldn’t attack the blinds of those players whose stack is much bigger than ours and those short stack payers, who must protect their blinds otherwise they would finish the game. If our stack is getting short than we should make a decision if we want to defend our bet. It is not a good idea if we hold a rubbish hand.
Stealing the blinds require a proper bet. How high shall we make a bet then? Mini raise is a weak method, as our opponent gets quite good odds, so he might check our move. We should make a bet as we would make it having a premium hand. If we bet 3 times of the blind then we should keep it that way. The best method is to bet from 2,5 to 4 times of the blinds. Don’t bet too high as we risk too much and we might get caught.

The Fundaments So Poker Theory
There is a book the theory of Poker written by David Sklansky, which might be one of the most important to read. The fundament of poker theory is the key to understanding what the good poker game is.
For many of us, who just started the big adventure with rakeback poker it seems to be odd that not the cards are the most important during the poker game or the winning hands. The most important is making proper decisions. If we win or loose doesn’t matter here. In a longer period of time making good decisions would mean we are the winner. What is the importance of making good decisions then?
Poker is a game of incomplete information. In chess we have a different situation, where we have full information about the actual game. In other words if we would see all of the cards of our poker opponents there would exist a perfect mathematical strategy of the game. Every poker player who would play differently than this strategy would mathematically decrease his expected winnings and increase the gains of his opponents. There is no such a game of course. Poker is a game, where we have to fulfill the gaps in incomplete information we got and on the other hand we can not let our opponents to do the same.
Every time when we play a hand differently if we would play it seeing cards of our opponents – then our rivals gain. Every time when our opponent play differently than the rule would expect we win, and he looses. Unless he plays accordingly to the perfect strategy then we loose. That is the fundament of playing rakeback poker.
Let’s say we have JT and our opponent KQ. Flop Q87. We check, but our opponent bets. We check. Turn shows an Ace. Now we bet. Our opponent not sure about the strength of his hand just checks. In this moment accordingly to the theory of poker we gained – no matter what the result is going to be. If our opponent would know what our cards are he should rise up strongly, so we would pay for our draw hand a lot. If we would make our opponent to play against the poker rule then his mistake would make us the winner at some point.
Once we familiar with that rule we should also remember about another quite important factor. Not every mistake from the fundamental theory of poker is considered as a bad play. We might have pocket 7s and there is 7-8-J-J-7. We won’t fold cards when all-in. Even when the opponent has pocket Jacks we can not say we played badly. The key is to play accordingly to the fundamental theory of poker.

How to Deal with Poker Tilt after the Bad Beat
Bad Beats in rakeback poker are one of the elements in poker player’s career. Are we prepared for such an unfortunate incident? If we can not deal with the bad beat we can easily get into the tilt and our results get affected seriously.
Jonathan little is a great poker player. His winnings brought all together over 4, 3 million of dollars. Little explains how to deal with the poker tilt. Let’s take the cash game with $10/$20, where little is doing very well, although nothing spectacular hasn’t happened.
Pre-flop – the opponent rise up to $80. Little having pocket KK raise up from the small blind up to $260 and when the pot is $560 the opponent checks. Both of the players know each other very well and they probably studied the style of the opponent. Little considered his opponent as loose-aggressive, who plays different and a bit weird games.
Flop Q 9 4 little plays for $340 and he is checked by the opponent. The pot is $1,220 now. Little after such an action bets more of the flops, especially when he’s got top pocket pair. Even though his opponent would go all-in with KK little would check definitely. After all he played against the player who would go all-in having no matter which contact with the flop.
Turn – 8. Little plays for $500 and his opponent play all-in for $1,700. Little checks. The river doesn’t bring a good card for little, but with the JT it could make a strait and that was something what the opponent could have, although he used to play rakeback poker such a card many times with nothing. Perhaps this time the opponent is trying to fake a strong hand.
River – 3. Little show his KK and the opponent – 2 and 9. Thanks to the color on the river he gets an entire pot of $4,620. In this moment little must deal with the bad beat. Unlucky games aren’t pleasant or funny, but we can not take it seriously though. If little feels that he won’t control the emotions the best thing is to get up from the table and stop playing.
If that would be poker tournament he would need to deal with the tilt and play further. Sometime it might be worth to continue the cash game as well. We need to control the emotions and play as nothing has happened. We have to learn how to deal with the tilt. After loosing buy-in twice in a row Little takes a break or he stops the game.

Jonathan little is a great poker player. His winnings brought all together over 4, 3 million of dollars. Little explains how to deal with the poker tilt. Let’s take the cash game with $10/$20, where little is doing very well, although nothing spectacular hasn’t happened.
Pre-flop – the opponent rise up to $80. Little having pocket KK raise up from the small blind up to $260 and when the pot is $560 the opponent checks. Both of the players know each other very well and they probably studied the style of the opponent. Little considered his opponent as loose-aggressive, who plays different and a bit weird games.
Flop Q 9 4 little plays for $340 and he is checked by the opponent. The pot is $1,220 now. Little after such an action bets more of the flops, especially when he’s got top pocket pair. Even though his opponent would go all-in with KK little would check definitely. After all he played against the player who would go all-in having no matter which contact with the flop.
Turn – 8. Little plays for $500 and his opponent play all-in for $1,700. Little checks. The river doesn’t bring a good card for little, but with the JT it could make a strait and that was something what the opponent could have, although he used to play rakeback poker such a card many times with nothing. Perhaps this time the opponent is trying to fake a strong hand.
River – 3. Little show his KK and the opponent – 2 and 9. Thanks to the color on the river he gets an entire pot of $4,620. In this moment little must deal with the bad beat. Unlucky games aren’t pleasant or funny, but we can not take it seriously though. If little feels that he won’t control the emotions the best thing is to get up from the table and stop playing.
If that would be poker tournament he would need to deal with the tilt and play further. Sometime it might be worth to continue the cash game as well. We need to control the emotions and play as nothing has happened. We have to learn how to deal with the tilt. After loosing buy-in twice in a row Little takes a break or he stops the game. Thanks to that he doesn’t play when he is anxious. Bad Beats though are not up to us. Worse scenario is when we make the wrong move.

Poker online – how to win?
We might get an impression that poker live and poker online are the same game. However there are some factors, which have an impact on the game’s specifics. Mostly beginners in poker can have a problem with noticing the difference between poker live and poker online.
What exactly do we have to consider in playing poker online to make a profit then?
Poker online is a specific type of poker, which influence our and our opponents’ game. It means that apart of basic poker knowledge, poker strategy, odds or bankroll management we have to remember about a few other basic things.
First of all we should play tight. A very important factor in online poker is a position and a proper selection of the hands. A lot of rakeback poker players play loose online. It means that the best way to win would be using the tight-aggressive style. This is not the rule, of course, which we would be able use everywhere and every time, but on micro stakes there are mostly loose – passive poker players. The best weapon against them is tight-aggressive type of play.
We should remember that we can not play too loose ourselves. If we have a lack of discipline we might want to see to many flops with the bad cards and without the position. It might happen because we got bored, because we have the certainty that online money is worth less than cash from the wallet. Remembering of such temptations we must play with the discipline and don’t go too loose in our game.
Quick game means quick decisions.
Online poker player will notice that poker online is much quicker than a game in live. All because all decisions are made quickly. In live event we can take our time to analyze the flop and the round. In online poker all our decisions we have to make much quicker. This is the reason we have to gain another skill in a quick reading of the flop. One look should be good enough to estimate if someone can have a draw hand from it.
Same thing with pot-odds calculation and analyze. In poker online we have to remember if we won’t make a decision on time our cards will be folded. We have to practice then and make our good decision quick.
Let’s make the notes about our opponents
This is a very important tip, which will help us to win in online poker. In casino making the notes is very unhandy, but poker rooms online allow to make the notes by the specially created system. Notes might be very helpful during the most important game. We can gather the information about the style, raising and bluffing.

Types of the Poker Players
There are not two the same poker players; however we can classify all of them to a few main groups. Every group prefers a special style of play. The most popular are:
Tight-Aggressive (TAG) – this is the easiest style of play and the most successful one. Poker player using that style attaches big attention to the hand selection. He plays only strong hands from the good position. He doesn’t see too many flops, but if he joins the game he plays very aggressively trying to maximize the gains from each of the pots. The minus of this style is that we can get bluffed out from the pot easily and that a good rakeback poker player can read us easily. On the micro games it is not such a problem though as we won’t meet good players there. On the higher stakes we have to mix the game as we can become an easy target to the other aggressive players.
Tight-Passive – that means the player is rather weak, who doesn’t really know how to estimate the strength of the hand after the flop and he’s got a lot of problems with playing the cards after the flop.
Even if before the flop one player is able to properly select hands, without hitting a good set on a flop it is easy to rise when the cards are handed over.
Loose-passive – is a kind of player everybody would like to have at the table. Plays a lot of hands, looks at many flops at the same time being deprived of aggression himself. On the top of that after the flop often checks the beats with strange sets (3 pair, gut-shot draw) himself beating just a little or not at all. It is the weakest kind of game, often such a player is earmarked as„calling station” or a dream foe, which will increase our money if we win but will not be able of winning big money himself, even if there is a good set in hand.
At the end the style loose-aggressive (LAG), on one side it is the most difficult to master and on the other side it cold prove being the most profitable during cash games. Nevertheless, due to its level of difficulty its players should be divided into two categories:
Loose-aggressive (Maniac) – playing aggressively lots of cards, the quality of his card is not important to him, Maniac will play win lots of small sums, but it is easy to put him in a trap if you have a strong set yourself. Usually such a player can give away the whole stack in two or more games bluffing with virtually nothing. His lack of discipline and our careful observation of what is going on at the table to become a fully-fledged loose-aggressive.
Loose-aggressive (good player) – An extremely uncomfortable opponent for deciphering. He can play any card, very often he beats up before the flop and continuous his aggressive game after flop. But in contrast to a Maniac he can read the resistance in his opponent, his strong hand and flee in the right moment
A good loose-aggressive is a gain able style as it is quite impossible to read such a player and often besides many small sums he wins larger sums with his good sets, which are sponsored lavishly by the other players, disoriented by his game.
