Last time I talked a little about position raising and its increased value in the short-period online poker tournaments that are so popular online. Now I'd like to extend that a bit more by looking at the relative values of the three main aspects that become factors in these kind of tournaments, which are: CARDS, POSITION and CHIPS. |

There's a pretty major difference to the way tournaments work online and the ones you might play in a casino or watch on TV. The main difference, and the element that makes these online poker tournaments a much different game than live ones, is the length of the blind periods. As a result, there's a lot of milking that can go on in the name of working those shorter periods to your advantage, rather than against you. |

It's difficult sometimes dealing with primadonnas, and people who seem to think that everything they do is gold. This sort of behavior becomes doubly prickly when the thing done isn't quite that deserving of high praise. I say all this with the attitudes of certain recent poker stars in mind, how suddenly a poker persona seems to come with a great deal of self congratulating. Please, people, remember: we're just playing cards. |

One of the major considerations that seperates a winning player in the long run from a losing player in the long run is the ability to fold strong hands. Any knucklehead can call an all-in with two pair and realize he's beat when his opponent flips over a set. It takes true heart, though, to realize your monster isn't the monster that will eat the cake. |

There's nothing worse than sitting at a table with a player who just doesn't seem to care: who acts like he's the center of a three-ring circus, and that all your attention belongs to him. There are certain levels of poker etiquette that some people seem to want to dismiss. Perhaps as a matter of public service, we should go through some of the more common disdemeanors of poker etiquette. |

It's a very common situation: a bunch of players come into a limped or minorly raised pot, and the flop comes down with a pair on board (ie: 9 9 5, J J 8, etc.). You pair the second card. So you've got two pair, and if no one has flopped trips, you're probably good. Everyone checks around. What's your best move? |

In the recent cold spell I've been on in cash games, I decided to switch up my own enterprising, mainly in the online world, to play exclusively low buy in tournaments for a while. With sit n gos and MTTs (multi table tournaments) online you can play for hours and only risk small pieces of your stack, and perhaps cool off on a string of bad beats. Playing in a 6 or 9 handed person sit-n-go tournaments certainly takes a different kind of mindset than a cash game, particularly in the online world where blinds tend to escalate more quickly. |
