Just My Two Chips

Since this blog seems to be a dead zone, (thank you, to my two followers). I figured why not try out my new apple mac book pro, and talk and talk about dead cards. Those of you who have played poker more than playing for clothing, should know, that at times cards just don't seem to be coming to you, and the ones that are coming to you just aren't coming out on the board. This is the ultimate test of patience. But during this time, instead of focusing on the fact of how bored you are getting from sitting there; watch the table, sit there and play a game of guess what he has. This game not only helps you to learn other peoples tells, betting patterns, and what gear they are in. But also its a good way to train yourself into paying more attention.

 Now trust me, it is still going to be boring, but at least it is something to pass the time. Also, figure out how the table as a hole is playing, and depending on how many hands you have folded, and if the table is playing tight, it maybe a good time to steal. But don't get carried away, and if you are trying to steal on a stone cold bluff, don't bust yourself because your bored. I don't know what the pros say is a good rule of thumb of spending for a bluff? But, when I bluff I only risk about 25% of my stack, but (and I know for a 98% fact that, the next bet I make will make the opponent fold) I will bring that rule up to 30%.
