The site's make-over has been completed and is now easier to browse, with increased load-time speed and compatible for viewing in IE and Firefox.It is still best viewed at 1024 x 768 resolution on a broadband connection.More graphic tutorials are being added. First on the list is an elaboration of card-the counting strategy outlined in the Counting Cards and Suits article in our Tips & Tricks

StudStrategy.com is in the process of undergoing a make-over which will make the site easier to navigate and will include several new articles about strategy and upcoming events related to seven card stud.During this time, I have fallen behind on answering a few inquiries related to the game by players wanting advice on how their hands were played and what could have been done differently.The

I received the premier issue of All-In Magazine in the mail on Saturday. "The Magazine For The Poker Aficionado", lives up to that name in one area alone. Quite comparable to the way Cigar Aficianado or even Vogue magazine will showcase their advertisements to the likes of high society, All-In Magazine did not fall short of including a pleasing photographic presentation on heavy-weight,

A review of Volume II of Howard Lederer's instructional series.   Earlier in the year I wrote a review of the first instructional video in Howard Lederer's, Secrets of No Limit Hold 'Em series. My review of this video included what to expect out of the video. I also paid out of pocket to buy in to different tournaments online to put Howard's strategy to the test, and reported the results.

I'm fortunate enough to own a mint, first edition copy of, "7 Card Stud - The Waiting Game", written by George Percy, published in 1979. Much like Doyle Brunson's Super System, the book at that time must have been a god-send for any poker player looking to improve their game by a large margin in a short period of time. When I purchased the George Percy book last year, I tucked it away for

I was prompted to write the latest article about Choosing an Online Card Room over several experiences that I had with a new up-and-coming online card room. Months ago, I was fortunate enough to be one of the beta-testers for FullTiltPoker.com. Within an hour of the software being available for download, I was at the tables with the entrepeneur card room and their support team, going over the

StudStrategy.com has converted its blog system to one that allows a syndicated feed. This will allow me, the webmaster, a more convenient way to update without large gaps of time between postings. The old system was rather cumbersome. The new blog will include more news and updates as well as hand history examples for strategy refinement that are not included on the main website. There are

Off-site on one of the poker forums online, I wrote a commentary on Howard Lederer's Secrets of No Limit Hold Em DVD. It was the first DVD in what ends up to be a series. The review, including some strategy tests I conducted are available for viewing at this link. Subsequent strategy tests and review information will follow as the videos are released.

Most of the hands at this table were heads-up. At the river heads-up the pot would be approximately $87.00 which was the average pot. (not accounting for any rake taken out). Split pot would be $43.50 per hand, of course. I was stoked to catch this hand for a scoop with so many players. It was the first hand that I played for this particular session. I was dealt 10 hands previous to this one

Hand history for micro limit stud hi, short-handed. Unfortunately, the only stud table open at this online card room at the time was a micro limit table. I was up against players at this table that didn't like to fold their hands, so it made for some nice wins for the limit I was at. Quads were rampant at the table. Within 20 hands three of them held quads to my amazement. I was lucky to get

I played another limit hold 'em tournament early this afternoon and took second place. Fighting for the money seat with four players left was quite a hump for me to get over. I ended up stack leader with 4500 chips vs the nearest highest stack of about 1800 chips. I took a heavy hit that brought me down to 600 chips, with the blinds now coming around. I was last to act with JTos in my hand and

An excellent start to the week at the poker tables. I made a deposit yesterday to one of my online accounts and I am now up 298% from there. Tuesday I entered two single-table tournaments and took first place back-to-back. The first tournament was Stud 8/b. The only two hands I had lost at the showdown for the duration of the game was my trip 5's vs trip 7's, and I lost with a full house of 4

Well, I ended up 3rd place in another two tournaments and in 4th place in a third tournament during the course of this week. In a fifth tournament I was knocked out nearly right away when my pair of Q's was cracked by a pair of 4s in no limit hold'em. Another memorable bad beat was going all-in in middle position with AKos with one caller who was in late position. Hit my A on the rainbowed flop

I recently found a program for sale that allows for player advantage at some of the bigger online card rooms. The site specifically names which card rooms the software is compatible for. I wrote this letter to each of the card rooms that were listed on the site: I am writing to let you know of a program that offers an online cheat that specifically mentions that it is compatible to use
