This video explains the 3 styles of play in No Limit Hold’em Poker Tournaments.
Personally, I love poker tournaments because the strategy it forces you to use as the blinds increase is much more exciting than the grind of live cash games.
One strategy I have used recently is that of positional raises with a tight aggressive image. You would be amazed at the success of my bluffs and the payoffs for my nut hands. Of course it all depends on the type of player you are up against to use this strategy. Some players will call in the early stages of an event no matter what image you present.
Sometimes players do not realize the importance of a good dealer to the game.
A poor poker dealer will often deal very slowly. This is bad for the winning poker player. Less means the winning player has fewer hands per hour to increase winnings.
A slow dealer often does not run the game efficiently either. This will cause many breaks in the action, especially when many players are not paying attention meaning even fewer hands per hour.
There are even some dealers that can not quickly identify the winning hand at a showdown.
It sometimes takes players to point out the winning hand.
A slow poker dealer will also take too much time counting down pots. A dealer that cannot count the pot fast enough will slow the game down figuring out simple things like the rake and jackpot drop.
An inexperienced dealer may also take extra time figuring out who is involved in side pots as well as how much they should be.
This type of dealer will often lack in confidence and it will show. This can create problems with players at the table that tend to be disruptive.
Misdeals and exposed cards are also common in games like that. All of these errors lower the enjoyment of playing live poker. There are instances where the dealer could either make an error or not know procedure and have to call the floor supervisor over to help with a decision.
All of these things can slow a game down to the point where it is not enjoyable or profitable.
All dealers need to be aware of the importance their job and strive to improve.
