March Poker Thinking Contest

Presented by BowerCrush

One Time When Not To Bluff

If you're playing against very loose and weak players (calling stations) you should almost never bluff. Just play your cards and play the mathematics and play your position. If you suffer from "fancy play syndrome" (meaning that you like to "outmaneuver your opposition"), against a table of poor players you will lose the money you would have made by making the standard play, and you won't make up for it in deception because loose weak players are paying attention to what you do anyway. To be blunt, they aren't aware enough to be tricked. Just play fundamentally correct poker and you will beat poor players. There's no need to get fancy. Just get your money in when you've got the best of it (static advantage) and protect it when you don't.

Everyone posting will be in a random draw for 2 x $3 in prizes.

I agree with that statement, but I am always so optimistic I am constantly bluffing.

Aloha Geno,

How about a photo caption contest where you post a photo on the site and we create a creative or funny caption for it. Then you pick your favorite caption as the winner or put them all up randomly on the site and everyone votes for their favorite caption.

Fun Fun
