The Sklansky-Chubukov push

The Sklansky-Chubukov-push is a supplement to the standard short stack strategy. The push is part of an advanced SSS, which one should be from NL50-100 (ie blinds of 25 cents and 50 cents, or blinds of 50 cents and 1 dollar) to play and work with steals and re-steals. This extension of the SSS can bring to these limits at Full Tilt Poker quite successful. The Sklansky-Chubukov push (or push-SC) in particular is an open-raise all-in from the cutoff, the button or small blind. This turn is based on the fact that we can call the opponent theoretically profitable only with AA, and is overall a mathematically perfect turn. Of course you should not, for example AA directly push all in, because you will just get called too infrequently. But small pairs and baby aces, you would not otherwise play a short stack, and also on most flops very hard to play, you can push so profitable before the flop.

Downswing

Poker players hate that word. Downswing. It describes the fact that many poker players like to forget forever and want to banish from their game, namely the variance, which turns on a downswing against one. But first we need to clarify a few terms. Every action has an expected value in poker (Expected Value or EV shortly). Such a fold is basically an EV value of 0, because you can not win or lose more chips when to fold. If, on the other hand, for example, with two aces before the flop, you have all of his chips against any two cards, a 80% chance of winning. If you are now a stack of $ 5 over and the opponent has even $ 5 in game, the pot after the call is $ 10 large. After the EV should now be expected to gain $ 8. In essence, this is a concrete example will not work because you either win the $ 10 or they lose. If you play through this situation hundreds of times now but it would make on average $ 8 profit.

Game against a professional

Of these, probably the dream of every amateur, even against a professional like Daniel Negreanu, Chris Ferguson and Katja Thater play. Also, I wanted this experience must collect extra fly to America but I did not want to play and focuses on the operations of the professionals was also really do not know.

Since I got the idea. Online Poker. I had an account with one hand and wanted to try my luck. But then again it was my problem, the bankroll. Had I but only a $ 100 bankroll, I saw my task even glide. The pros play online for up to $ 20,000 per pot and in tournaments from $ 200 buy-in.

Introductions

First I would like to introduce myself: I'm mid-30s and play poker for about 6 years. On this blog I want to get rid of a couple of tips, views and anything else. Today I want to do with table image:

A good poker player should always set a certain image. By that I mean he should pay a certain game behavior on the day. You can go with any such increase, and only if it really does not get more continues. That is a rather offensive behavior which is not always well. Another possibility is a more passive behavior. One should always play only when a good starting hand such as a King Kong (Two Kings) has.
