32Red Poker Blog

One of 32Red’s regular poker players ‘M_Ederz’ has decided to set an exciting challenge for himself, and has kindly allowed us to document his progress…

M_Ederz, €100 and 4-Hours…

M_Ederz will start with a €100 Bankroll and play in 4x 1-hour sessions…each session with a bankroll of €25.  His €25 bankroll will be split into 5x €5 stacks which he will multi-table on €0.05/€0.10 stakes.  The question now is…will he have made money at the end of the 4 hours?  …or not?

I have really enjoyed playing alot of ‘live’ poker recently, and have tried to think hard about alot of

situations that have come up, but also the different styles I see. I have been able to watch other players, and take soundings from them, and really tried to be open to ideas from other people’s games. I think that’s there is something for everyone to learn from every poker player, but that the player you will learn the most from is the player with the game most different to yours. (more…)

The most common misconception in poker

There is nothing that many poker players like more than a good debate. You will hear statements in cardrooms everywhere like “it’s never right to slow play aces,” and “I would never put all my money in with ace-king, it’s just ace high.” These kind of statements will cause a lot of debate, but are in some part true.

The advantages of multi-tabling

The idea of multi-tabling has become increasingly popular in online poker. What is it, and is it a good idea? Multi-tabling embraces the idea that the correct way to play Hold’em is to fold most hands before the flop. Therefore, each one table is idle for much of the time, and it becomes possible to play on more than one table.

How many tables can you play?

If you are planning to add more tables, it is worth increasing steadily as some practice is required, but you will quickly be able to add more tables. I usually play 6 six-handed ring games at the same table, but the recent software improvements on the 32Red online poker site have allowed me to increase to eight tables with some ease.  (more…)

Hand Decision Point

Let’s put you in a tough situation:-

In the early stages of a tournament, we are playing a stack of 8,000. We are happy to look down at , and raise to 350 in early position. We have caller on the button. We put him on a good hand, but within a wide range at this early stage. The flop is a decent looking , and we bet out for 600. The caller now raises to 1,800. A call here would leave us with 5,850. It is time to think… (more…)
