Player Profiles: Lyle Berman

Businessman extraordinaire
Lyle Berman started playing poker early in his childhood. As he became more involved in business and more “responsible endeavors,” he steered more toward casino games, which took up less time, and moved away from poker.
Around 1980, Lyle purchased my dad’s book Super/System and, when he finally read it two years later, became interested […]

World Poker Tour Bellagio 2006 - Day Four

With 33 players remaining in the tournament, I wasn’t exactly in good shape going into day four, but I also wasn’t overly worried, thanks to an excellent Bellagio structure that gave even the short stacks a chance to see some flops and play real poker. With $174,000 in chips, I was sitting in 31st place.
Luckily […]

Andy Roddick Wins!

Rachael Ray is a cultural phenomenon of our times, a whole food industry unto herself. As of this writing, she has several TV shows on the Food Network, including a talk show, a cooking show (30-Minute Meals), and a travel show ($40 a Day) in which she visits restaurants in different cities, seeking out three […]

Head Games

In this column, I’m going to take a break from my usual strategy-focused columns, and focus on something that I believe is just as important, if not more important, than covering how to play aces from under the gun or how to properly attack weakness. I want to discuss poker psychology a bit.
I’ve been playing […]

Overlooking a Raise

Misunderstanding the amount of a bet in no-limit hold’em
As the author of Robert’s Rules of Poker, I get a lot of e-mail about poker rules, especially those that pertain to no-limit hold’em. Quite often, poker rules are enforced in a manner that might be appropriate for limit poker, but to mimic that enforcement manner in […]

Poque (or Poqas) to Pokuh

An updated version of prime, poque was limited to four players, each of whom was dealt five cards before vying for the antes […]

Continuation Bets

Strategies against the habitual continuation bettor
I think it’s time that this is mentioned: The continuation bet has to be the most overused, poorly thought out bet in poker. Wait! Get your jaw off the floor. I am not saying that it’s a bad play or that it shouldn’t be used, because it definitely should be […]

Common mistakes in the nonflop games
The rotation game of H.O.R.S.E. has always been popular among high-stakes professional players, but it has now caught on among the plebeians, as well.
In Part I of this two-part series, I looked at some of the traps players might fall into in limit hold’em and Omaha eight-or-better. I believe that […]

Redistributors

A pet peeve
Let’s say that you have nothing on the river but an 8-high busted flush draw. You’re down to your last $25 chip, there’s a $400 pot at stake, and you’re first to act with one opponent remaining. If you bet that final chip, most of the time you’ll never see it again. Still, […]
