Poker Tips – Patience…

Daniel Willis — Thu, 23 May 2013 21:55:42 +0000

Be patient....

In poker it's often said that one of the biggest mistakes that a lot of players make is acting too quickly. So when you find your self in a situation when you need to make an important decision, relax, breath and press your own pause button.

Then think about how game and the betting has gone to this point and of course just what your opponent might have. In other words take your time, you see more often than not in poker it's a marathon not a sprint.

Push Your Poker to the Limit at bwin

Seth Shafer — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 14:48:01 +0000

The new Push'em Poker promotion at bwin isn't for the faint of heart or those that would rather wait and wait and fold until they pick up pocket aces.

Push'em Poker is just what it sounds like: all players sit down and buy in for just five big blinds. That means the action will be fast and furious from the moment you take your seat, so be prepared!

From 01.11. to 15.11.2012, there will also be a leaderboard race for the best short stackers out there, with cash prizes on the line as well as an entry to an exclusive $3,000 freeroll for the top 20 leaderboard finishers.

Everyone who plays a single hand of Push'em Poker also gets an entry to a $2,000 freeroll on 18.11.2012 at 20:00 (GMT +1), so it could pay off big for just giving this new game a shot at bwin.
