Poker 101

I have just returned from another Card Player Cruises poker trip, and as always, we all had a ball! There was plenty of poker action, as well as discussion about some of the differing rulings that you will get when you travel to play. On the cruises, commonly accepted rules are used, yet decisions may […]

HALT When You’re Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired

Logan is one of the best poker players in the world - as long as he is winning. In fact, if he quit every time he lost his first $500, he just might be a millionaire at age 30. The problem is, the minute Logan starts losing, he presses and goes on tilt quicker than […]

My Poker Rules

One of my lifelong passions has been creating rule sets for playing games. I have been the main architect for three poker rulebooks: the Poker Players Association Rulebook, the Las Vegas Hilton Rulebook, and the Hollywood Park Casino Rulebook. I have also been an advisor in varying degrees to quite a few cardrooms. It is […]

When I was playing poker in the early ’80s

When I was playing poker in the early ’80s, I met a lot of poker players. One of them who made a big impression on me was Seymour Liebowitz. The first time I ever met him was at the World Series of Poker, and then a month later, he moved from Florida to Las Vegas […]

Play on the River

How should you respond when someone bets on the river? Should you always call out of fear that you could be folding the best hand and will lose an entire pot? On the other hand, you don’t always want to be calling on the river when it is obvious you are beat. The next five […]

Poker’s Unique Ecosystem

In many businesses, we are rewarded when outlandish behavior by a competitor drives customers our way. An extreme example for illustrative purposes would be found at an isolated freeway exit with two restaurants located next to each other and virtually sharing the same parking lot. If one of them was so rude to potential customers […]

Go Omaha, Young Man

If Horace Greeley were alive today, he might well recommend Omaha high-low as the best opportunity in poker. Why? Because large numbers of Omaha high-low players can actually win at it (or lose very little). Note that I am referring to the vast majority of Omaha high-low games spread in this country, which are of […]

Erik Seidel - Part II

A Concerned Poker Champ
Talks About Some Major Issues in Poker
Leaving the Big Apple in 1995 to further pursue his career as a poker pro in Las Vegas was a huge move for Erik Seidel. I asked the lean and lanky champ what there is about the City, the cosmos, and the culture that’s so hard […]

This and That About Poker

Hi. Come on in. I’ve made beef stew in my crockpot. It’s my grandma’s recipe, but she used a big iron pot.
We’ve been talking about poker skill - and random luck that can either add to or take from our winnings. Along with this comes a fact of poker life that many players (many, many […]

You Make the Call

As I write this column, I am on my way to Tunica, Mississippi, for the second annual World Poker Open. Let’s hope that all poker players read my column about acting in turn and that all of the games at this tournament will proceed at a perfect pace. Wishful thinking.
I recently received an E-mail from […]

It Was 20 Years Ago Today

“The first time I played in the World Series, it was much easier for me. It was easier because I was an unknown entity. Later when I played in the World Series, I was expected to win. That puts a lot of pressure on you.”
- Stu Ungar in an interview with
Nolan Dalla on Aug. 5, […]

Shulman Says

I was on the receiving end of somebody else’s mistake in a no-limit hold’em satellite at Binion’s World Poker Open recently in Tunica. Sometimes we all get lucky.
The blinds were $100-$200, the average chip count was about $3,500, and several of us were in that neighborhood. There was one limper and three callers, including me […]

Hands for Sale

Wouldn’t it be great to have something named after you? You know, like a mountain peak or a bridge, or an airport, or maybe a tunnel like they named after Ted Williams in Boston. Personally, I’d be happy just to have a rest stop on the way to Barstow named after me.
The closest I ever […]

Information

Continuing on with our discussion of getting information from other players in a game, we can now look at some other ways in which you can benefit from other players’ tells. What kinds of hands do they play and what kinds of betting patterns do they use? Are they prone to check-raising? Will they discard […]

Erik Seidel - Part I

A Man of Many Talents, a Versatile Role Model, a True Champion

When I met Erik Seidel for lunch at his spacious home in a gated-community suburb of Las Vegas, he could have been wearing some impressive hardware on his wrists - namely, the four gold bracelets he has won at the World Series of Poker. But Seidel is far too modest and laid-back for that routine. […]
